What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An AE was defined as any noxious, pathologic, or unintended change in anatomical, physiologic, or metabolic function as indicated by physical signs, symptoms, or laboratory changes occurring in any phase of a clinical study, whether or not considered study drug related. This included exacerbation of a pre-existing condition. AEs included worsening (change in nature, severity, or frequency) of conditions present at the onset of the study, intercurrent illnesses, drug interactions, events related to or possibly related to concomitant medications, abnormal laboratory values (this included significant shifts from baseline within the range of normal that the Investigator considered to be clinically important), clinically significant abnormalities in physical examination, vital signs, and weight.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after end of treatment (EOT) (Up to 38 months)

  2. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Clinical Laboratory Test Results Reported as TEAEs

    The clinical laboratory tests included Hematology: Hematocrit (Hct), hemoglobin (Hgb), platelet count, red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count with differential; Serum Chemistry: Albumin (ALB), alkaline phosphatase (ALK-P), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), calcium (Ca), chloride (Cl), creatinine, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), magnesium, phosphorus, potassium (K), sodium (Na), total bilirubin, total protein, uric acid, immunoglobulin levels (IgG, IgA, IgM); Urinalysis: Appearance, specific gravity and pH, evaluation of glucose, protein, bilirubin, ketones, leukocytes and blood; Coagulation: Prothrombin time (PT) or international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT).

    Measured: Up to 30 days after EOT (Up to 38 months)

  3. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Electrocardiogram (ECG) Reported as TEAEs

    A standard 12-lead ECG was performed.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after EOT (Up to 38 months)

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Sign Measurements Reported as TEAEs

    Vital signs included systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after EOT (Up to 38 months)

  5. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a Best overall response (BOR) of partial response (PR) or complete response (CR). BOR was the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression, initiation of new anti-cancer therapy, or end of the study period, whichever occurred first. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions, no new lesions formation. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to ≤1.5 cm. PR was defined as ≥50% decrease in the sum of diameters of up to 6 target measurable nodes or extranodal sites, no new lesions formation.

    Measured: Up to Progressive Disease (PD) or death (up to approximately 55 months) or initiation of new anti-cancer therapy whichever occurs first

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Debio 1562 and Rituximab in people with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma and B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by Debiopharm International SA at 39 sites in 9 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 10 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 12 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 39 sites in United States, Ukraine, Belgium, Czechia, Italy and 4 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 17 May 2024). 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 Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Up to 30 days after end of treatment (EOT) (Up to 38 months)). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 Jun 2024.
