What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the efficacy of disease control including complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD)

    Measured: From date of enrollment until the date first documented disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, whichever came first, assessed up to 48months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Toxicity profile

    CTCAE v4 (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0) In the present study, toxicities will be recorded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (CTCAE), version 4.0. The full CTCAE documentation is available on the NCI web site, at the following address: http://ctep.cancer.gov/forms/CTCAEv4.pdf The occurrence of severe adverse event (SAE) should be also reported to the Novartis Safety Office within 24 hours.

    Measured: from the date of informed consent signature to 30days after last drug administration

  2. Overal Survival

    Measured: from the date of first drug administration until the date of death, assessed up to 48months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ruxolitinib in people with Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma and Primary Mediastinal Large B-cell Lymphoma, run by Samsung Medical Center at 7 sites in South Korea.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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 1 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in South Korea. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To assess the efficacy of disease control including complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) (time frame: From date of enrollment until the date first documented disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, whichever came first, assessed up to 48months). 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 NCT01965119, 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 1 Nov 2018.
