Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with refractory or relapsed aggressive non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The definition of refractory includes patients who either did not respond to prior therapy or those whose best response was a PR after at least 4 courses of chemotherapy. Aggressive histologies include follicular large cell, diffuse large cell, peripheral T cell, transformed lymphomas, Lymphoblastic lymphomas, Burkitt and Burkitt like lymphomas.
  • Histologic or cytological confirmation of refractory or relapsed aggressive non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma is desirable but not mandatory and will be left to the discretion of the investigator.
  • Must have measurable or evaluable disease.
  • No more than 4 previous regimens of chemotherapy will be allowed, including stem cell or bone marrow transplant.
  • Patients must be more than 18 years old.
  • No evidence of grade 3 or more neurosensory or neuromotor dysfunction (see appendix- toxicity criteria)

  • Written Consent
  • Those patients who have previously received a platinum or nucleoside analogue-containing regimen are eligible.
  • Patients who are candidates for stem cell or marrow transplant will be included

Who cannot join

  • Patients with a previous or concurrent history of cancer with the exception of: 1-treated carcinoma in situ of cervix or breast. 2- treated squamous or basal cell skin cancer, or 3- any other surgically cured malignancy from which the patient has been disease free for at least 5 years.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Evaluation Of GROC (Gemcitabine- Rituximab-Oxaliplatin Combination) Given Every 14 Days For The Treatment Of Patients With Relapsed Or Refractory Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Study Proposal:

Other drugs where synergy with Gemcitabine has been observed are Cisplatinum, Taxol, Taxotere, Etoposide and alkylating agents. However in view of Oxaliplatin's superior activity as a single agent against lymphoma, the combination of Gemcitabine with Oxaliplatin is more attractive and should be explored in this group of disorders. Based on these data and considering the advantage of its favorable toxicity profile, we propose a phase II study in patients with either refractory or relapsing aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas including peripheral T-cell lymphomas which are known to have a poor outcome when compared with equivalent aggressive B-cell lymphomas.

Being tested
Rituximab, Gemcitabine, Oxaliplatin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rituximab, Gemcitabine, Oxaliplatin in people with Refractory Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Relapsing Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by Auxilio Mutuo Cancer Center.

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 9 inclusion and 4 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 13 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The response rate of the combination of Gemcitabine-Oxaliplatin-Rituximab. (time frame: 5 years). 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 13 Jul 2012.
