About this study

Official title: (RICE) Plus Bortezomib (Velcade) in a Dose-Escalating Fashion for Patients With Relapsed or Primary Refractory Aggressive B-Cell NHL

Primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib (Velcade) in combination with rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin and etoposide for adult patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell lymphoma. The secondary objectives are to assess the tolerability and safety, the response rate, rate of autologous stem cell transplant and CD34+ progenitor cell collection and engraftment after treatment with this regimen.

Read the detailed description

Once subjects are determined to be eligible and informed consent is obtained,patients will be enrolled into a starting dose cohort of 1.0mg/m2. Based upon a satisfactory safety profile, additional patients will be enrolled into the 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7mg/m2 cohorts. Each of these dosing cohorts will only be enrolled if satisfactory safety profiles in each of the lower dosing cohorts are obtained. As the process continues, multiple cohorts will be receiving various dosing regimens simultaneously. If a DLT occurs in ≥2 out of 6 patients at the initial dose level, then 3 more patients will be accrued at dose level -1 (0.7mg/m2).

Bortezomib will be given on days 1 (prior to rituximab) and 4, rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 1, carboplatin AUC 5 and ifosfamide with mesna, each 5 gm/m2, on day 3 and etoposide 100 mg/ m2/day on days 2, 3 and 4 of a 21-day cycle. They will also receive filgrastim on days 6-13 or pegfilgrastim on day 6. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) include any grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicities (except alopecia and grade 3 febrile neutropenia), grade 4 febrile neutropenia (life-threatening sepsis) and grade 4 neutropenia persisting past day 35 or grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia persisting past day 35.

If there is a DLT at a given bortezomib dose level, 3 more subjects will be enrolled at that dose; if there are 2 or more DLTs then the MTD will be defined as the previous dose level. If at that dose level, >50% of subjects required bortezomib dose reduction, the MTD will be defined as the next lower dose level. Subjects will continue to be accrued in order to treat a minimum of 10 patients at the MTD.

Those who are candidates for autologous stem cell transplant will have CT scan of the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis after 2 cycles. Subjects with PD or SD will be taken off study. Those with CR, PR or response not meeting PR criteria will undergo a total of 3 cycles of bortezomib + RICE. After the 3rd cycle of bortezomib + RICE, whole body PET/CT scan and bone marrow biopsy will be obtained.

Subjects who achieve CR or PR will then proceed to stem cell mobilization and collection by a standard regimen, followed by autologous stem cell transplant with a preparative regimen to be determined by the investigator. Those with SD or PD will be taken off study. While the mobilization and ASCT procedures are not part of the phase I protocol, outcomes of ASCT will be followed, including CD34+ progenitor cell collection, clinical response to transplant and survival.

Subjects who are not candidates for autologous stem cell transplant will have CT scan of the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis after the 2nd and 4th cycles. Those who are responding will continue for a maximum of 6 cycles.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Velcade (bortezomib), rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and B-cell Lymphoma, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 11 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 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 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was stopped early (reason given: closed for low accrual and no data is available.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Determine the MTD of Velcade (bortezomib), Rituximab, Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, Etoposide (V-RICE) for patients with relapsed/primary refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) (time frame: 5 years). 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 26 Sep 2012.
