About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Brentuximab Vedotin for Relapsed/Refractory CD30-positive Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas Other Than Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma

Brentuximab vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting CD30, one of surface antigens expressed in lymphoma cells. Fanale MA, et al. reported the results of a phase I study with weekly dosing of brentuximab vedotin in patients with relapsed/refractory CD30-positive hematologic malignancies (Clin Cancer Res. 2012) showed tumor regression in 85% of patients. Thus, the overall objective response rate was 59% (24/44) including 34% (n = 14) of complete remissions. This study mainly included Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 38) and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (n = 5). However, its efficacy in other types of NHL has never been reported although this study enrolled one patient with peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS).

CD30 (TNFRSF8) is a transmembrane glycoprotein of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, and it is involved in signal transduction via the activation of the NF-κB pathway and the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), ultimately modulating cell growth, proliferation and apoptosis. CD30 is a non-lineage-specific activation marker expressed by scattered B and T immunoblasts. In addition, a subset of cases in virtually all T-cell lymphoma entities may also express CD30 but at variable and generally lower levels. In fact, a recent study in 22 patients with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma showed 75% of positive rate of CD30 expression (75%). Moreover, CD30 expression was also documented in the tumor sample of EB virus positive diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (EBV + DLBCL) of the elderly (28.9%, 11/38). Therefore, Brentuximab vedotin may have potential benefits for patients with CD30-positive NHL other than anaplastic large cell lymphoma such as CD30-positive PTCLs, NOS. Considering the role of CD30 in signal transduction pathway associated with tumor growth and proliferation, its expression may be associated with tumor aggressiveness. In accordance with this, it is more likely that relapse or refractory NHLs may have CD30 expression, and the potential benefits of this promising agent as a salvage therapy deserve to be further investigated in these patients who have high risk of treatment failure. Thus, we designed a phase II study for relapsed or refractory NHL patients. This study is to explore the safety and activity of dosing once every 3 weeks of Brentuximab vedotin in patients with relapsed or refractory CD30-positive NHL other than anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

The principal investigator use a Simon two-stage minimax design based on overall response rates. Overall disease control rates will be calculated as the percent of patients that have confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) by radiographic response including CT and/or PET scans. We assume a P0 as 20%, and designate a target rate (P1) as 40%. Under the error probabilities (α=0.05, β=0.20), eighteen patients will be enrolled in the first stage. If overall disease control rate is ≤ 4/18 in the first stage, this study will be stopped. If not, this study will recruit patients up to 33 considering 20% of drop out rate.

Intent-to-treat analysis will be applied to all primary and secondary efficacy endpoints. Response rate will be analyzed based on the response criteria according to Cheson 2007 (Cheson BD, et al. J Clin Oncol 2007; 25 (5):579-586), and data related to overall response rate will be analyzed by statistical analysis including Chi test to evaluate predictive factors for response to study drug.

Overall rate of disease control : CR, PR and SD Progression-free survival : Time between the date of treatment start and the date of death due to any cause or date of disease progression (Up to 36months) Data related to survival rate for all patients will be analyzed based on log-rank test by the Kaplan-Meier method.

  • Brentuximab vedotinDrug

    Also called Adcetris

    Brentuximab vedotin must not be administered as an IV push or bolus. It must be administered in 100ml-250ml of 0.9% saline by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes once every 3 weeks.

Study groups in NCT02280785
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Brentuximab vedotinExperimentalBrentuximab vedotin administered in 250ml of 0.9% saline by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes once every 3 weeks. In the absence of infusion toxicities, the infusion rate for all patients must be calculated in order to achieve a 30-minute (approximate) infusion period. Brentuximab Vedotin is dosed at 1.8mg/kg (capped at 100kg of body weight). Dosing is based on patients' weight according to the institutional standard; however, doses will be adjusted for patients who experience a ≥ 10% change in weight from baseline. Actual weight will be used except for patients weighing greater than 100 kg; dose will be calculated based on 100 kg for these individuals. The dose will be rounded to the nearest whole number of milligrams.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall disease control rate

    The percentage of subjects with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD)

    Measured: Until the disease progression (maximum 2 years after completion of treatment, assessed up to 36 months)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Measured: Time between the date of treatment start and the date of death due to any cause or date of disease progression, whichever came first, assessed up to 36months

  2. Toxicity (assessed by analyzing adverse events and the standard clinical laboratory and hematologic findings.)

    Toxicity will be assessed by analyzing adverse events and the standard clinical laboratory and hematologic findings.

    Measured: From the date of first drug administration until the date of the 30th days, assessed up to 13 months

  3. Overall survival (OS)

    Measured: Time between the date of treatment start and the date of death due to any cause,assessed up to 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Brentuximab vedotin in people with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by Samsung Medical Center at 4 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 17 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 6 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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?

Overall disease control rate (time frame: Until the disease progression (maximum 2 years after completion of treatment, assessed up to 36 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 NCT02280785, 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 6 Sep 2018.
