What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
brentuximab vedotinDrug
Trade name: Adcetris
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Phase I/II | Experimental | Total of six 21-day cycles of brentuximab vedotin in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone (R-CHP). Cycle 1 rituximab dose divided between Days 1 and 2 to prevent severe infusion reactions in rituximab naïve patients; brentuximab vedotin and cytotoxic chemotherapy administered on Day 2. Cycles 2 through 6 brentuximab vedotin and R-CHP administered on Day 1. Prednisone (or steroid equivalent) administered Days 1-5 of each cycle (prior to rituximab infusion).
Cycle 1:
Days 1-5: Prednisone (or equivalent) 100 mg PO/IV; Day 1: Rituximab 100 mg/m2 IV; Day 2: Rituximab 275 mg/m2 IV, Cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2 IV, Doxorubicin 50 mg/m² IV, Brentuximab vedotin 1.8 mg/kg or 1.2 mg/kg (Phase I data established a MTD of 1.8 mg/kg brentuximab vedotin)
Cycles 2-6:
Days 1-5: Prednisone (or equivalent) 100 mg PO/IV; Day 1: Rituximab 375 mg/m2 IV, Cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2 IV, Doxorubicin 50 mg/m² IV, Brentuximab vedotin 1.8 mg/kg Receives: Drug: brentuximab vedotin |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Subjects With Dose-limiting Toxicities
Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is any grade 3 or 4 new non-hematologic toxicity occurring during Cycle 1 requiring a dose delay of >14 days from the planned Day 1 of Cycle 2 (21 days from Day 1 of Cycle 1). The initial planned dose of brentuximab vedotin for the Phase I cohort of 6 patients is 1.8 mg/kg. This cohort will be evaluated for DLT in the first cycle of treatment. Dose de-escalation to 1.2 mg/kg will occur if ≥ 2 of 6 patients at the 1.8 mg/kg dose level experience a DLT.
Measured: 21 days (Cycle 1)
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Overall response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients with CR or PR according to the International Working Group Response Criteria for non-Hodgkin Lymphoma at the conclusion of systemic therapy.
Measured: Three to five weeks after the completion of Cycle 6 (approximately 5 months after start if treatment)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing brentuximab vedotin in people with CD30 Positive Primary Mediastinal Large B-cell Lymphoma and CD30-Positive Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine 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 13 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2021. 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 combined 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.
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Sep 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Number of Subjects With Dose-limiting Toxicities (time frame: 21 days (Cycle 1)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01994850, 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 5 Jan 2021.
