What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Rituximab and LenalidomideDrug

    Rituximab 375 mg/m² i.v. day 1 Lenalidomide 20 mg p.o. daily for 21 days Cycles should be repeated every 28 days. Restaging should be performed after three cycles. In case of at least stable disease, patients should receive another three courses of therapy. Patients with documented CR after 6 courses will stop therapy/study, while patients with PR or SD will be given another two cycles for a maximum of 8 cycles.

Rituximab and LenalidomideExperimentalSingle arm: 6 cycles for patients with complete response, 8 cycles for subjects with stable disease or partial remission; cycles duration: 28 days Rituximab (Mabthera®): 375 mg/m² i.v. day 1 Lenalidomide (Revlimid®): 20 mg p.o. daily for 21 days

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Responses in Patients With MALT Lymphoma Presenting With Measureable Disease

    The primary objective of this Phase II study is to evaluate the proportion of patients responding to Lenalidomide and Rituximab. In case of a response rate of < 40%, the combination is rejected as ineffective, while an active combination is defined at a minimum response rate of 60% based of findings with rituximab and lenalidomide mono-therapy.

    Measured: 40 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number and Severity of Adverse Events

    Safety of Rituximab (Mabthera®) plus Lenalidomide (Revlimid®) in this patient population

    Measured: From treatment start until 28 days after last study treatment; expected study duration 24 months

  2. Influence of Rituximab Plus Lenalidomide on T-cell Subsets

    T-cell subsets will be evaluated from EDTA blood in a central lab

    Measured: Day 1, 14 and 28 of cycle 1 and day 1 of cycle 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rituximab and Lenalidomide in people with Lymphoma of the Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT), run by Arbeitsgemeinschaft medikamentoese Tumortherapie at 5 sites in Austria.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 6 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Austria. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Nov 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?

Objective Responses in Patients With MALT Lymphoma Presenting With Measureable Disease (time frame: 40 weeks). 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 NCT01611259, 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 6 Nov 2017.
