About this study

Official title: Phase II Study With Bendamustine, Gemcitabine and Vinorelbine (BeGEV) as Induction Therapy in Relapsed/Refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma Patients Before High Dose Chemotherapy With Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cells Transplant

Test of bendamustine in combination with gemcitabine and vinorelbine could contribute to a higher response rate with the reduction of toxic side effects

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to evaluate bendamustine, gemcitabine and vinorelbine (BeGEV) scheme efficacy as induction therapy to high dose chemotherapy with Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantation (AHSCT) for patients with relapsed/refractory Hodglin's Lymphoma (HL).

Four BeGEV courses repeated every 3 weeks in the absence of any reasons listed in the paragraph 7.5; whenever an objective response is observed at disease evaluation performed after IV cycle patients undergo to high dose chemotherapy with AHSCT (conditioning regimens based on preference of each Centre).

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate

    response rate after BeGEV in terms of Complete Response (CR)evaluated by fludeoxyglucose Positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and Computed Tomography (CT-scan) after four cycles.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. overall response rate

    To assess the response rate after BeGEV in terms of overall response rate (ORR) =Complete Response (CR) plus Partial Response (PR)).

    Measured: 3 months

  2. mobilization potential of the combination

    To evaluate the mobilization potential of BeGEV.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. toxicity of the combination

    To evaluate the toxicity of BeGEV in terms of haematological and extra-haematological side effects according to CTCAE definitions v 3.0.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Progression free survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS).

    Progression free survival and overall survival

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bendamustine, Gemcitabine and Vinorelbine in people with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by Armando Santoro, MD at 1 site in Italy.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 29 Jan 2014. 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 Italy. 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?

Contact Armando Santoro, MD (+39 (0)2 8224 ext. 4080, armando.santoro@humanitas.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response Rate (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT01884441, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 29 Jan 2014.
