About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Everolimus (RAD001) in Primary Therapy of Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia

The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety of RAD001(Everolimus) and the highest dose of this drug that can be given to people safely. RAD001(Everolimus) is a drug that works by preventing cells in the body from growing and dividing. Information from basic and Phase I clinical research studies suggests that RAD001 also may help to prevent tumor growth in people with relapsed or refractory lymphoma.

Read the detailed description
  • Participants will take RAD001 orally once a day in the morning. Each treatment cycle lasts for four weeks. Participants will receive up to 72 cycles of treatment.
  • During each cycle, participants will be asked to visit the clinic for scheduled tests and exams. They will visit the clinic on the first day of each of the first three cycles, and then once every 3 cycles. During the visits, participants will have a physical exam and blood tests.. Participants may also have CT scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis as well as a bone marrow aspirate and biopsy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Response Rate of RAD001 in Patients With Previously Untreated WM

    Overall Response = Complete Response + Near Complete Response + Very Good Partial Response + Partial Response + Minor Response Complete Response: resolution of all symptoms, normalization of serum IgM levels with complete disappearance of IgM paraprotein by immunofixation, and resolution of any adenopathy or splenomegaly. A near CR (nCR) is defined as fulfilling all CR criteria in the presence of positive immunofixation test for an IgM paraprotein.

    Very Good Partial Response: > 90% reduction in serum IgM levels. Partial Response: > 50% reduction in serum IgM levels. Minor Response: 25-49% reduction in serum IgM levels Progressive Disease: greater than 25% increase in serum IgM level occurs from the lowest attained response value or progression of clinically significant disease related symptom(s).

    Stable Disease: < 25% change in serum IgM levels, in the absence of new or increasing adenopathy or splenomegaly and/or other progressive signs or symptoms of WM

    Measured: End of Treatment, an average of 16 months

  2. Time to Progression With Single Agent RAD001 Therapy in Previously Untreated WM.

    Progression is defined as a 25% increase in serum IgM from the lowest attained response value or progression of clinically significant disease related symptoms.

    Measured: End of Treatment, an average of 16 months

  3. Time to Next Therapy With Single Agent RAD001 Therapy in Previously Untreated WM

    Measured: End of follow-up, an average of 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RAD001 in people with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Jun 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Response Rate of RAD001 in Patients With Previously Untreated WM (time frame: End of Treatment, an average of 16 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00976248, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Oct 2018.
