About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Phase III, Open-Label, Randomized Study in Previously Untreated Patients With Advanced Indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Evaluating the Benefit of GA101 (RO5072759) Plus Chemotherapy Compared With Rituximab Plus Chemotherapy Followed by GA101 or Rituximab Maintenance Therapy in Responders

This open-label, randomized study will assess the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab (RO5072759) in combination with chemotherapy compared to rituximab (MabThera/Rituxan) with chemotherapy followed by obinutuzumab or rituximab maintenance in participants with untreated advanced indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. After the end of the induction period, participants achieving response (Complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) will undergo a maintenance period continuing on the randomized antibody treatment alone every 2 months until disease progression for a total of 2 years. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to approximately 2.5 years. After maintenance or observation, participants will be followed for 5 years until progression. After progression, participants will be followed for new anti-lymphoma therapy and overall survival until the end of the study.

Medical subject headings
Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin

What participants receive

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

  • ObinutuzumabDrug

    Also called GA101; RO5072759

    Obinutuzumab 1000 milligrams (mg) intravenous (IV) infusion will be administered on Day 1, 8, and 15 of Cycle 1 and then on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle during induction period and obinutuzumab 1000 mg IV infusion every 2 months during maintenance period.

  • CyclophosphamideDrug

    Cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m^2 IV will be administered on Day 1 of each cycle during induction period.

  • DoxorubicinDrug

    Doxorubicin 50 mg/m^2 IV will be administered on Day 1 of each cycle during induction period.

  • VincristineDrug

    Vincristine 1.4 mg/m^2 (maximum 2 mg) IV will be administered on Day 1 of each cycle during induction period.

  • PrednisoneDrug

    Prednisone 100 mg (or equivalent prednisolone or methylprednisolone) will be administered orally on Days 1-5 of each cycle during induction period.

  • BendamustineDrug

    Bendamustine 90 mg/m^2 IV infusion will be administered on Days 1 and 2 of each cycle during induction period.

  • RituximabDrug

    Also called MabThera/Rituxan

Study groups in NCT01332968
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Rituximab+ChemotherapyActive comparatorParticipants will receive either 8 cycles of rituximab along with 6 cycles of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) (21-day cycle) or 8 cycles of rituximab along with 8 cycles of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (CVP) (21-day cycles) or 6 cycles of rituximab along with 6 cycles of bendamustine (28-day cycle) during the induction period. The induction period will be followed by either a maintenance or observation period for responders or non-responders, respectively. Responders will receive rituximab monotherapy every 2 months for 2 years during the maintenance period. Non-responders will receive no protocol specified treatment during the 2-year observation period. Finally, participants will be followed during a 5-year follow-up period. The chemotherapy regimen (CHOP or CVP or bendamustine) for individual participant will be chosen by the site prior to initiation of the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-Free Survival in the Follicular Lymphoma Population, Investigator-Assessed

    Progression-free survival in participants with follicular lymphoma was defined as the time from randomization until the first documented day of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first, on the basis of investigator assessments according to the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma. Progression was defined as at least 50% increase in nodal lesions or >/=50% increase in any node > 1 centimeter (cm) or >/= 50% increase in other target measurable lesions (e.g., splenic or hepatic nodules) and/or appearance of any new bone marrow involvement and/or appearance of any new lesion > 1.5 cm or >/= 50% increase in any previously involved node with a diameter </= 1 cm such that it is now >1.5 cm. Tumor measurements were obtained by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

    Measured: Baseline up to data cut-off (up to approximately 4 years and 7 months)

A Phase 3 study testing Obinutuzumab, Cyclophosphamide and Doxorubicin in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 183 sites in 18 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 19 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 11 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 183 sites in Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, China, United States and 13 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 7 Jun 2017). 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?

Progression-Free Survival in the Follicular Lymphoma Population, Investigator-Assessed (time frame: Baseline up to data cut-off (up to approximately 4 years and 7 months)). 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 NCT01332968, which also lists 12 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 11 Aug 2022.
