About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open-Label Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of GDC-0199 (ABT-199) Plus Bendamustine Plus Rituximab (BR) in Comparison With BR Alone or GDC-0199 Plus Rituximab (R) in Patients With Relapsed and Refractory Follicular Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

This open-label, international, multicenter study will investigate the safety and efficacy of venetoclax (GDC-0199) in combination with bendamustine plus rituximab (venetoclax + BR) compared with BR alone in participants with relapsed and refractory fNHL, comparing two chemotherapy-containing regimens (Chemotherapy-Containing Cohort). In addition, an exploratory analysis of the safety and efficacy of venetoclax in combination with rituximab (venetoclax + rituximab), a chemotherapy-free regimen, will be performed (Chemotherapy-Free Cohort). Assignment to the Chemotherapy-Containing or Chemotherapy-Free Cohort will be decided at the discretion of the Investigator, unless one of the cohorts is not open to enrollment; in which case, participants may be enrolled only to the open cohort. The first 6 participants enrolled in the Chemotherapy-Containing Cohort (or more if required) will comprise the Safety Run-In group for Treatment Arm B, dosing venetoclax at 600 milligrams (mg) in combination with BR. Once a dose has been chosen from the Safety Run-In Period, randomization to the two treatment arms of the Chemotherapy-Containing Cohort (Arms B and C) will begin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Venetoclax, Bendamustine and Rituximab in people with Follicular Lymphoma, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 71 sites in 8 countries.

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 18 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 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 71 sites in United States, Australia, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom and 3 more countries. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Oct 2017). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Complete Metabolic Response (CMR) According to Independent Review Committee (IRC) as Per Lugano Classification, Using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan at Primary Response Assessment (PRA) (time frame: 6-8 weeks after Cycle 6 Day 1 (PRA) (Cycle length = 28 days)). 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 NCT02187861, 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 5 Jun 2019.
