About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Oral LBH 589, a Novel Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) Inhibitor, in Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Mantle Cell Lymphoma

The purpose of the study is to find out the effects and the safety of an investigational study drug called LBH589 when given to people with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).

Read the detailed description

Response Assessment for Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Based on the International Workshop to Standardize Response Criteria to non-hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) (Cheson, JCO 1999) a complete hematologic remission will be defined as the following:

  • Disappearance of all evidence of disease.
  • Any positron emission tomography (PET)+ mass prior to therapy must be PET negative after treatment.
  • No palpable spleen or liver
  • If bone marrow involvement prior to therapy, must document clear bone marrow.

Partial response will be defined as:

  • No new areas of disease on clinical exam and regression of previous areas of disease
  • Greater than or equal to 50% decrease in the size of prior disease areas per measurement on computed tomography (CT) scan
  • No new PET+ areas on PET scan
  • No increase in size of liver or spleen

Response Assessment for CLL

Using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) criteria, a complete hematologic remission will be defined as having the following present for 2 or more months:

  • Absence of symptoms attributable to CLL
  • Normal findings on physical examination
  • Absolute lymphocyte count <4000/microL
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1500/microL
  • Platelet count >100,000/microL
  • Hemoglobin concentration >11 g/dL (untransfused)
  • Bone marrow lymphocytosis <30 percent
  • No nodules (lymphoid aggregates) on bone marrow biopsy

A partial response per the NCI criteria will be defined as having the following for 2 or more months:

  • A reduction in previously enlarged nodes, spleen, and liver by at · least 50 percent and
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥1500/microL or
  • Platelet count ≥100,000/microL or
  • Hemoglobin concentration ≥11 g/dL or
  • 50 percent improvement over pretherapy reductions in hemoglobin concentration and/or platelet count

What participants receive

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

  • LBH589Drug

    Also called panobinostat, HDAC Inhibitor

    The LBH589 capsule(s) should be swallowed by mouth with a glass of water (8 ounces noncarbonated) in the morning. The daily dose of LBH589 should be taken at approximately the same time each day. Patients should avoid eating grapefruit, Seville (sour) orange or drinking grapefruit juice or Seville orange juice during the study.

    After 2 cycles of treatment, if patients do not demonstrate a partial response or complete response (all of the tumor is gone) to the therapy they will be removed from the study. If patients do obtain a partial (the tumor(s) have decreased in size or number but there are still tumors present) or complete response then treatment will continue until their disease progresses.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Desired Response

    Investigators intended to assess the rate of overall and complete response by World Health Organization (WHO) classification in patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

    WHO Performance Scale Measures levels of patient capability: 0 Normal activity; 1 Symptoms, but nearly fully ambulatory; 2 Some bed time, but needs to be in bed <50% of normal daytime; 3 Needs to be in bed >50% of normal daytime; 4 Unable to get out of bed.

    Measured: 8 weeks (2 cycles) unless treatment continues due to partial or complete response

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants With Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR)

    Investigators intended to determine the complete and partial responses. Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL): Using the NCI criteria - - See definitions in the Detailed Description section for a Complete hematologic Remission, and Partial Response.

    Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL): Based on the International Workshop to Standardize Response Criteria to NHL (Cheson, JCO 1999) - See definitions in the Detailed Description section for a Complete hematologic Remission, and Partial Response.

    Measured: 8 weeks (2 cycles) unless treatment continues due to partial or complete response

  2. Response Duration

    Investigators intended to determine the duration of responses.

    Measured: 8 weeks (2 cycles) unless treatment continues due to partial or complete response

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Estimate

    Investigators intended to estimate the progression free survival time

    Measured: 8 weeks (2 cycles) unless treatment continues due to partial or complete response

  4. Number of Participants With Prolonged Corrected QT (QTc) Interval

    Investigators intended to monitor the QTc interval in patients receiving oral LBH589

    Measured: 8 weeks (2 cycles) unless treatment continues due to partial or complete response

  5. Number of Participants With Improved Blood and Lymphatic Evaluation Results

    Investigators intended to evaluate histone acetylation, cytotoxic mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) activity, cytokine profiles, and immunologic synapse alterations through peripheral blood correlative studies

    Measured: 8 weeks (2 cycles) unless treatment continues due to partial or complete response

  6. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    Investigators intended to evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of LBH589. Assessments would consist of monitoring and recording all adverse events and serious adverse events, the regular monitoring of hematology, blood chemistry and urine values, vital signs, ECOG performance status, and the regular physical examinations and ECG assessments.

    Adverse events will be assessed according to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0. CTCAE v3.0 can be accessed on the National Institute of Health (NIH)/NCI website at http://ctep.cancer.gov/forms/CTCAEv3.pdf.

    Measured: 8 weeks (2 cycles) unless treatment continues due to partial or complete response

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LBH589 in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research 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 16 inclusion and 26 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2013. 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 28 Mar 2012). 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?

Number of Participants With Desired Response (time frame: 8 weeks (2 cycles) unless treatment continues due to partial or complete response). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 16 Dec 2013.
