About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Two-Arm, Open-Label, Multicenter, International Trial of Alisertib (MLN8237) or Investigator's Choice (Selected Single Agent) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma

This is a phase 3, randomized, 2-arm, open-label, international trial evaluating alisertib compared with single-agent treatment, as selected by the investigator from the offered options of pralatrexate or gemcitabine or romidepsin, in participants with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Note: romidepsin was not used as a single-agent comparator outside the United States of America (USA) as supply was not available.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study was Alisertib. Alisertib was tested to treat people who have relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL).

This study evaluated alisertib for the improvement in overall response rate (ORR) compared with single-agent treatment, as selected by the investigator from the offered options of pralatrexate, romidepsin (US only), or gemcitabine, in participants with relapsed or refractory PTCL.

The study enrolled 271 patients. Participants were randomized (1:1) to one of 2 treatment arms:

  • Alisertib
  • Investigator's choice (Pralatrexate, Romidepsin, or Gemcitabine)

This multi-center trial was conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study was approximately 5 years. Participants made multiple visits to the clinic, and then were contacted by telephone up to 42-months after the last participant was randomized, or until death, for follow-up assessment.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) Based on Independent Review Committee (IRC) Assessment

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieve Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as assessed by the IRC using International Working Group (IWG) criteria. CR=Disappearance of all evidence of disease and PR=Regression of measurable disease and no new sites.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks from date of first dose treatment; every 12 weeks after 40 week assessment; at end of treatment visit until progressive disease. Duration is approximately 3 years

  2. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Based on IRC Assessment

    PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks from date of first dose treatment; every 12 weeks after 40 week assessment; at end of treatment visit until progressive disease. Duration is approximately 3 years

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death. Participants without documentation of death were censored at the date last known to be alive.

    Measured: Participants were followed for survival for 2 years from date of last participant off study treatment, or death, whichever occurs first. Contacts were every 4 months (Median follow-up 519 days in the alisertib arm and 586 days in the comparative arm)

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. A TEAE is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/ birth defect or is a medically important event.

    Measured: First dose to 30 days after last dose of study drug or comparator (Up to 152 Weeks)

  3. Number of Participants With Clinically Important Abnormal Laboratory Values Reported as AEs

    Clinical laboratory tests included chemistry, hematology and urinalysis test. Clinically significant treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities were reported by the investigator as TEAEs.

    Measured: First dose to 30 days after last dose of study drug or comparator (Up to 152 Weeks)

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Important Vital Sign Measurements Reported as AEs

    Vital signs included blood pressure, heart rate and temperature. Individual clinically significant changes in vital signs were reported by the investigator as TEAEs.

    Measured: First dose to 30 days after last dose of study drug or comparator (Up to 152 Weeks)

  5. Complete Response (CR) Rate

    Complete Response (CR) rate is defined as the percentage of participants with CR as assessed by the IRC using IWG criteria (2007 Cheson). CR= Disappearance of all evidence of disease.

    Measured: At the end of every 8 weeks from date of first dose treatment; every 12 weeks after 40 week assessment; at end of treatment visit until PD (approximately 3 years)

  6. Time to Disease Progression (TTP)

    Time to Progression (TTP) was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of PD/relapse.

    Measured: At the end of every 8 weeks from date of first dose treatment; every 12 weeks after 40 week assessment; at end of treatment visit until progressive disease. Duration is approximately 3 years

  7. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR was defined as the time from the date of first documentation of a PR or better to the date of first documentation of progressive disease (PD)/relapse for responders as assessed by the IRC using IWG criteria. Responders without documentation of PD/relapse were censored at the date of last response assessment that was stable disease (SD) or better.

    Measured: At the end of every 8 weeks from date of first dose treatment; every 12 weeks after 40 week assessment; at end of treatment visit until progressive disease. Duration is approximately 3 years

  8. Time to Response

    Time to Response is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of PR or better.

    Measured: At the end of every 8 weeks from date of first dose treatment; every 12 weeks after 40 week assessment; at end of treatment visit until progressive disease. Duration is approximately 3 years

  9. Time to Subsequent Antineoplastic Therapy

    Time to subsequent antineoplastic therapy was defined as the time from randomization to the first date of subsequent antineoplastic therapy (excluding transplant). Participants without subsequent antineoplastic therapy were censored at the date of death or last known to be alive.

    Measured: From date of last study drug to date of subsequent antineoplastic therapy, if required; approximately 3 years

  10. Plasma Concentration-time Data to Contribute to Future Population Pharmacokinetics (PK) Analysis

    Measured: Cycle 1, Days 1 and 7; Cycle 2, Day 8; Cycle 3, Day 8; Cycle 4, Day 8. Duration is approximately 4 months.

  11. Change Form Baseline in Reported Symptoms and Quality of Life (QoL) Assessment Per Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lymphoma (FACT-LYM) for Functioning and Symptoms

    The FACT-LYM includes the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy General Scale (FACT-G) and a 15-item lymphoma-specific subscale (LYM) over the past week. The FACT-G has 27 items that incorporate 4 scales including physical well-being (PWB; 7 items), social/family well-being (SWB, 7 items), emotional well-being (EWB; 6 items), and functional well-being (FWB; 7 items). The combined FACT-LYM instrument consists of a total of a 42 item questionnaire. Each question is answered on a 5- point scale of 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much) for a total possible score of 168. Higher scores indicate better well-being and a positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and End of Treatment (EOT) (Up to 152 Weeks)

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 31 Jul 2018). 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 (ORR) Based on Independent Review Committee (IRC) Assessment (time frame: Every 8 weeks from date of first dose treatment; every 12 weeks after 40 week assessment; at end of treatment visit until progressive disease. Duration is approximately 3 years). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01482962, 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.
