About this study

Official title: Prospective Study of Rituximab Combined With Chemotherapy for CD20+ Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Rituximab combined with chemotherapy in CD20+ adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Read the detailed description

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a group of biologically heterogeneous diseases with diverse prognosis. Novel strategies for adult ALL have approached a CR rate of over 80%, which is similar to pediatric ALL. But the long term survival of adult ALL is only 30%-40%, much lower than pediatric patients.

In our trial, all the patients will first receive Vincristine 1.4mg/m2, max 2mg IV days 1,8,15,22, Daunorubicin 45mg/m2 IV days 1-3,Cyclophosphamide 750mg/m2 IV day 1 and prednisone 40-60mg/m2,by mouth days 1-14 (VDCP)regimen as initial induction therapy. If patients achieve complete remission after induction, they will be enrolled in our study for further consolidation and maintenance. If the tumor cells in bone marrow remain 5% to 20% after induction, the patients will receive VDCLP(VDCP+L-asparaginase 6000IU/m2 IV days5,7,9,11,13) and be enrolled until complete remission.

Rituximab is the main experimental intervention in our study.The consolidation regimen is HyperCVAD/MA or R-HyperCVAD/MA for totally 8 courses. The maintenance regimen includes 6-Mercaptopurine+Methotrexate for 24 months, Vincristine+Prednisone for the first 12 months, L-asparaginase in month 3 and 9 with or without Rituximab in month 6 and 12.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin and Vincristine in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Ruijin Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 20 May 2014. 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 China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

CR duration (time frame: After two 21-day courses). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 May 2014.
