What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate

    To determine the overall response rate and frequency of complete and partial responses in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who receive therapy with fludarabine, Velcade, and rituximab administered every 28 days.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Survival

    To evaluate the progression-free survival and event-free survival in patients who receive therapy with fludarabine, Velcade, and rituximab.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Toxicity

    To evaluate the toxicity profile of this regimen. Adverse event counts by grade are presented.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Biologic Interaction

    To explore the biologic interaction between fludarabine and Velcade and determine if Velcade can potentiate the DNA-damaging effect of fludarabine.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fludarabine, Velcade and Rituximab in people with Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin, run by Hoosier Cancer Research Network at 11 sites 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 10 inclusion and 10 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 24 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites 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 24 Oct 2016). 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 (time frame: 6 months). 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 24 Oct 2016.
