About this study

Official title: Immunochemotherapy With Rituximab-Bendamustine-Cytarabine for Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma Not Eligible for Intensive Regimens or Autologous Transplantation.

The objective of the study is to demonstrate the safety, tolerability, and activity of Rituximab-Bendamustine-Cytarabine(R-BAC) regimen in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) aged 65 years or more, as well as in younger patients who are not eligible for intensive regimens including/not including autologous transplantation.

Read the detailed description

Since Bendamustine has recently shown promising safety and efficacy in combination with monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of patients with MCL, the goal of this study is to investigate the possible therapeutic benefit of combining Ara-C with Bendamustine and Rituximab (R-BAC). All three agents exhibit individual and unique mechanisms of action in MCL, and a synergistic or additive effect might be expected when these agents are used in combination, as suggested by the pre-clinical studies.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Rituximab, Bendamustine, CytarabineDrug

    Also called Ribomustin, Mabthera, Ara-C

    Rituximab IV 375 mg/m2 on day 1. Bendamustine IV 70 mg/m2 over a 30-60 minute infusion on day 1 and 2. Cytarabine IV 800 mg/m2, over a 2-hour infusion, 2 hours after Bendamustine, on Day 1, 2, and 3.

    Four to six cycles. Recycle every 28 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. The safety and tolerability of R-BAC treatment will be tested to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Ara-C when combined with Bendamustine and Rituximab.

    Measured: June 2011

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall response and freedom from progression after R-BAC treatment

    Measured: June 2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rituximab, Bendamustine, Cytarabine in people with Lymphoma, Mantle-Cell, run by St. Bortolo Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

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 9 inclusion and 16 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 26 Sep 2012. 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 Italy. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The safety and tolerability of R-BAC treatment will be tested to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Ara-C when combined with Bendamustine and Rituximab. (time frame: June 2011). 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 NCT00992134, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Sep 2012.
