About this study

Official title: Bortezomib (VELCADE), Cladribine and Rituximab (VCR) in Mantle Cell Lymphoma: A Phase I/II Study (PSHCI 10-011)

This is a phase I/II trial of bortezomib, cladribine, and rituximab in newly diagnosed and relapsed mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The phase I component has three dose levels of cladribine (3 mg/m2, 4 mg/m2, and 5 mg/m2) and is designed as a traditional dose-escalation study in which cohorts of 3 patients are evaluated for the incidence of dose-liming toxicity (DLT) at each dose level. Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined, a phase II component with 2 arms will begin. One arm will enroll newly diagnosed MCL patients and one arm will enroll relapsed MCL patients. Each arm is a single-stage, fixed sample size study and will be accrued and analyzed separately. The phase I and II data will also be analyzed separately.

Read the detailed description

The phase I portion of the study is a standard dose-escalation schemed designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of bortezomib, cladribine, and rituximab therapy. The MTD is defined as the dose level in which ≤1 out of 6 patients have dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Three patients are enrolled on a dose level. If 0 out of 3 patients have DLT, then the next set of 3 patients are enrolled at the next highest dose level. If ≥2 out of 3 patients have DLT, then the MTD will have been exceeded and dose escalation will cease. Three additional patients will be enrolled at the next lowest dose level if only 3 were treated previously at that level. If 1 out of 3 patients have DLT, then the next set of 3 patients will be treated at the same dose level. If ≤1 out of 6 patients treated at that dose level have DLT, then the next set of patients will be treated at the next higher dose level. If ≥2 out of 6 patients treated at that dose level have DLT, then the MTD will have been exceeded and dose escalation will cease. Three additional patients will be treated at the next lowest dose level if only 3 were treated previously at that level. This phase I study will use 3 dose levels of cladribine (3 mg/m2, 4 mg/m2, and 5 mg/m2), with 3 mg/m2 being the starting dose level. DLTs will be assessed at the completion of the first 2 cycles of cladribine and rituximab.

Phase II Design: The phase II portion of the study is a two-arm, single-stage design with no interim analysis. One arm will accrue newly diagnosed patients, and one arm will accrue relapsed patients. In each arm, the progression-free survival rate at 2 years will be used as the primary endpoint for determining whether the treatment is sufficiently active in each arm. No comparisons will be made between the arms.

Due to difficulties with enrollment, this trial will not move into the intended Phase II of the proposed Phase I/II study. This study will only be Phase I.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Outcome Dose Limiting Tolerability

    Dose Limiting Tolerability as measured by CTCAEv.4 criteria and to evaluate progression free survival in patients treated with VCR in the Phase 1 portion .

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary Outcome objective response rates

    Estimate objective response rates of the VCR regimen in B cell malignancies where response to therapy is assessed per the revised Cheson criteria (2007) and the overall survival of patients treated with this combination for the Phase 2 portion of the study.

    Measured: 7 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Rituximab, bortezomib and Cladribine in people with Mantle Cell Lymphoma, run by Milton S. Hershey Medical Center at 2 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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?

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?

Primary Outcome Dose Limiting Tolerability (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT01439750, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Aug 2017.
