About this study

Official title: A Non-Interventional, Observational Phase IV Study to Evaluate Safety of Rituximab (Mabthera®) in Combination With Chemotherapy in Patients Treated With CD20+ Β Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

This observational study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of rituximab in combination with chemotherapy in first- and second-line treatment of participants with cluster of differentiation 20 (CD20)-positive B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Data will be collected from eligible participants receiving rituximab according to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) during 6 months of treatment.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship.

    Measured: Baseline up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Assessed Using Local Standards

    PFS was defined as the time from enrollment to the first documented progression of disease or death due to any cause. Progressive disease (PD) was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. KaplanMeier estimate was used for analysis.

    Measured: From enrollment until disease progression or death, assessed up to 24 months

  2. Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death Assessed Using Local Standards

    PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: Months 6, 12, 18, and 24

  3. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) Assessed Using Local Standards

    Percentage of participants with CR or PR as determined by the investigator was reported. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

    Measured: Months 6, 12, 18, and 24

  4. Percentage of Participants With CR Assessed Using Local Standards

    Percentage of participants with CR as determined by the investigator was reported. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions.

    Measured: Months 6, 12, 18, and 24

  5. Percentage of Participants With PR Assessed Using Local Standards

    Percentage of participants with PR as determined by the investigator was reported. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

    Measured: Months 6, 12, 18, and 24

  6. Time to Progression (TTP) Assessed Using Local Standards

    TTP is defined as the time from enrollment to the PD. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Kaplan-Meier estimate was used for analysis.

    Measured: From enrollment until disease progression or death, assessed up to 26 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphocytic Leukemia, Chronic, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 9 sites in Greece.

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Greece. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Jun 2017). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Baseline up to 24 months). 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 26 Jun 2018.
