About this study

Official title: Phase II Clinical Trial on the Activity of Salvage Therapy With High Dose Oral Clarithromycin in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma

This is a prospective, phase II study on the activity and tolerability of high dose (2 g/day) oral clarithromycin for the treatment of relapsed or refractory extranodal marginal zone lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

A 6-month regimen of oral clarithromycin has been associated with a 35% ORR in patients with relapsed/refractory marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. Responses were more common among patients with conjunctival lymphoma. This could be explained at least in part by the elimination of clarithromycin by tears, suggesting that a higher tumor bioavailability of this antibiotic could result in a higher activity. Thus, a higher dose of clarithromycin could be associated with a higher tumor bioavailability in tissues other than the conjunctiva.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing clarithromycin, oral, high dose in people with Lymphoma, run by Andres J. M. Ferreri at 1 site in Italy.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 12 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 1 site in Italy. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

assessment of responses (time frame: The best clinical response at 6 months from trial registration). 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 NCT01516606, 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 12 Aug 2022.
