Who may be able to join

  • Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or intermediate ("Burkitt-like") lymphoma, newly diagnosed from an excisional biopsy or from a large core biopsy with sufficient diagnostic material to perform genetic testing for MYC-R.

About this study

Official title: Rituximab-HyperCVAD (R-HCVAD) Alternating With Rituximab-Methotrexate-Cytarabine- (R-MC) in Newly Diagnosed Patients With Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma With MYC-Rearrangement. A Phase 2, Multi-Center, Open Label Study (CTRC# 11-53)

To estimate the I-year progression-free survival probability in patients up to 70 years of age with previously untreated diffuse large B-celllymphoma (DLBCL), or with intermediate (Burkitt-like) lymphoma, whose tumor cells show MYC rearrangement, and who are treated with alternating cycles of Rituximab-HCV AD and Rituximab-Methotrexate-Cytarabine, in concert with optimal supportive treatment including Pegfilgrastim, prophylactic antimicrobials, and close clinical follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing R-HCVAD and R-MC in people with Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma and Intermediate (Burkitt-Like) Lymphoma, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.

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 16 inclusion and 12 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2013. 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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Progression free survival verified by PET scan. (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 10 Dec 2013.
