About this study
Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Carfilzomib Plus Lenalidomide and Rituximab in the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
The goal of Part 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of carfilzomib that can be given in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab to patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma.
The goal of Part 2 of this study is to learn if the drug combination can help to control B-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma.

The safety of this drug combination will be studied in both parts.
Carfilzomib is designed to keep cancer cells from repairing themselves. If the cancer cells cannot repair themselves, this may cause them to die.
Lenalidomide is designed to change the body's immune system. It may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. This may decrease the growth of cancer cells.
Rituximab is designed to attach to cancer cells and damage them, which may cause the cancer cells to die. It is also designed to cause the immune system to attack cancer cells.

Study Groups:
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be assigned to a study group based on when you join this study. Up to 24 patients will be enrolled in Part 1 of the study and up to 44 participants will be enrolled in Part 2.
If you are enrolled in Part 1, the dose of carfilzomib you receive will depend on when you joined this study. The first group of participants will receive the lowest dose level of carfilzomib. Each new group will receive a higher dose of carfilzomib than the group before it, if no intolerable side effects were seen. Up to 4 dose levels will be studied.
If you are enrolled in Part 2, you will receive carfilzomib at the highest dose that was tolerated in Part 1.
All participants will receive the same dose level of lenalidomide and rituximab.
Each cycle is 28 days.
Carfilzomib Administration:
On Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of Cycles 1-12:
°You will receive carfilzomib by vein over 30 minutes. The first 2 doses you receive may be lower than later doses. This is to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction.
On Days 1, 2, 15, and 16 of Cycles 13 and beyond:
°You will receive carfilzomib by vein over 30 minutes.
You should drink at least 6-8 cups (8 ounces each) of fluid per day starting 2 days before your first day of treatment and for as long as your doctor tells you to. During Cycles 1 and 2, you will receive fluids by vein before and after your dose of carfilzomib.
Before you receive carfilzomib, you will be given standard drugs (such as allopurinol, dexamethasone, antibiotics, anti-fungals, and/or anti-virals) to help decrease the risk of side effects. You may ask the study staff for information about how the drugs are given and their risks.
During Cycle 1 and on Day 1 of Cycle 2, you will be monitored for side effects for 1 hour after you receive the study drug.
Lenalidomide Administration:
On Days 1-21 of each cycle, you will take lenalidomide by mouth at approximately the same time each day. You should take it with a glass of water on either a full or an empty stomach. Do not break, chew, or open the capsules.
If you miss a dose of lenalidomide, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If you miss taking your dose for the entire day, take your regular dose the next scheduled day. Do not take double your regular dose to make up for a missed dose.
If you take more than the prescribed dose of lenalidomide, you should seek emergency medical care if needed and contact study staff right away.
In order to participate in this study you must register into and follow the requirements of the RevAssist® program of Celgene Corporation. This program provides education and counseling on the risks of fetal exposure, blood clots and reduced blood counts. You will be required to receive counseling every 28 days during treatment with lenalidomide, follow the pregnancy testing and birth control requirements of the program that are appropriate for you and take telephone surveys regarding your compliance with the program.
Rituximab Administration:
On Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of Cycle 1:
°You will receive rituximab by vein. The first infusion takes 6-8 hours. After that, infusions take about 4 hours.
On Day 1 of Cycles 3-12:
°You will receive rituximab by vein over 4 hours.
On Day 1 of Cycle 13 and every other cycle (15, 17, 19 and so on) for up to 24 months:
°You will receive rituximab by vein over 4 hours.
For some patients, you may receive the rituximab dose over 2 days. Your doctor will tell you if this is the best approach for you. Your vital signs will be monitored just before, during, and after the infusions. You will be monitored for side effects for 1 hour after you receive rituximab.
Study Visits:
At every study visit, you will be asked about any drugs you may be taking and if you have had any side effects. You will be given a drug diary to complete each day to record the study drugs you take. You will need to bring this to each of your study visits for the study nurse or study doctor to review.
About 3-5 days before Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 2, you will have an ECHO to check your heart function.
On Day 1 of all cycles:
- You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs and weight.
- You will have a neurological exam.
- Your performance status will be recorded.
- Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
- If your doctor thinks it is needed, you will have a bone marrow biopsy and/or aspiration to check the status of the disease.
- If you are able to become pregnant, you will have a blood (about 1½ tablespoons) or urine pregnancy test. If you have an irregular menstrual cycle, you will also have a pregnancy test on Day 15 of each cycle.
On Days 8 and 15 of Cycle 1, and on Day 15 of Cycles 2 and 3:
- You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs.
- Your performance status will be recorded.
On Days 8 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 2, and on Day 15 of Cycle 3, blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests.

- If the study doctor thinks it is needed, you will have a gastrointestinal endoscopy.
About 3-5 days before Day 1 of Cycle 5, then every 3 cycles after that, you will have an ECHO to check your heart function.
Length of Study:
You may continue taking the study drugs for as long as the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will no longer be able to take the drug if the disease gets worse, if intolerable side effects occur, or if you are unable to follow study directions.
Your participation on the study will be over once you have completed follow-up.
End-of-Treatment Visit:
After you finish taking the study drugs:
- You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your weight and vital signs.

This is an investigational study. Lenalidomide is FDA approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Rituximab is FDA approved for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and certain types of leukemia. Carfilzomib is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of certain types of MM. The combination of these drugs is investigational.
Up to 68 participants will be enrolled on this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

- Pregnant or lactating females.
- Use of any standard/experimental anti-lymphoma drug therapy, including steroids, within 3 weeks of initiation of the study or use of any experimental non-drug therapy (e.g., donor leukocyte/mononuclear cell infusions) within 56 days of initiation of the study drug treatment. Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) within 16 weeks or autologous SCT within 8 weeks of initiation of therapy.
- Known hypersensitivity to thalidomide, lenalidomide or rituximab; including the development of erythema nodosum if characterized by a desquamating rash while taking thalidomide.
- Known HIV infection. Patients with active hepatitis B infection (not including patients with prior hepatitis B vaccination; or positive serum Hepatitis B antibody). Known hepatitis C infection is allowed as long as there is no active disease and is cleared by GI consultation.
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Primary outcome
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Carfilzomib and Lenalidomide in Combination With Rituximab
Time frame: 28 days
MTD defined as highest dose level in which 6 patients have been treated with less than 2 instances of dose limiting toxicity (DLT). Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) assessed during first course of each cohort (28 days), and refers to a medically significant event which meets one of the criteria using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.
1 secondary outcome
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time frame: 4 months
Results and safety
The study was stopped early (reason given: Low response). Results are not available in the source record.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide and Rituximab in people with Lymphoma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
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 12 inclusion and 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2019. 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 United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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 was stopped early (reason given: Low response). 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?
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Carfilzomib and Lenalidomide in Combination With Rituximab (time frame: 28 days). 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 22 Oct 2019.
