About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Feasibility and Efficacy of a Salvage Therapy Consisting of Temsirolimus Added to the Standard Therapy R-DHAP for the Treatment of Patients With Relapsed or Refractory DLBCL - the STORM Trial

The STORM-trial consists of two parts. In the part I (dose escalation of Temsirolimus) the primary objective is to establish a maximum tolerated dose of Temsirolimus in combination with Rituximab and DHAP. Secondary objective is to prove ability to mobilize stem cells in patients scheduled to high dose therapy.

In the part II (full target dose) the primary objective is to evaluate the ORR in patients with relapsed diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The secondary objective is to evaluate progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and Toxicity.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, open label, single arm, phase II study. There will be no placebo usage within this trial. In the part I, dose escalation part, of this trial 6 patients will be included in each dose level. There will be 4 cohorts, administering up to a maximum of 4 cycles 25 mg, 50 mg, 75mg or 100mg Temsirolimus in combination with Rituximab and DHAP.

Treatment regimen part I:

Part I - Cohort A, B, C, D, X Temsirolimus 25 (A), 50 (B), 75 (C),100 (D) or 15 (X) mg, Day 1, 8, Rituximab (375 mg/m² day 2) Dexamethasone 40mg day 3-6 Cisplatine 100 mg/m² day 3 Cytarabine 2x2 g/m² day 4

...repeat day 22, up to a maximum of 4 cycles In part I, after inclusion of 6 patients, each patient has to receive at least 1 complete cycle w/o dose limiting toxicity until the enrollment into the next cohort can be initiated.

In the part II of the trial 40 patients will be included to receive the full target dose, established within the part I of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rituximab, Temsirolimus, DHAP, intravenous in people with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, run by Mathias Witzens-Harig at 9 sites in Germany.

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 10 inclusion and 15 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2016. 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of a combination therapy of Temsirolimus added to the standard therapy, Rituximab and DHAP (Cytarabine, Cisplatine, Dexamethasone) (time frame: 09-2012 to 06-2018 (up to six years)). 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 NCT01653067, 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 27 Oct 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
