What is being measured

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

  1. Phase 1: Number of Participants Experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    A DLT was defined as the following KTE-C19-related or ATZ-related events with an onset from immediately after the first ATZ infusion through 21 days after the first ATZ infusion: Grade 4 hematologic toxicity lasting > 30 days (except lymphopenia or B-cell aplasia); All KTE-C19- or ATZ-related Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicities lasting for > 7 days and all KTE-C19- or ATZ-related Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicities regardless of duration.

    Measured: Baseline up to 21 days

  2. Phase 1 and 2: Complete Response Rate (CRR)

    CRR was assessed based on the International Working Group Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma (Cheson, 2007), and was defined as the percentage of participants achieving a complete response (CR) as assessed by the study investigators. CR was defined as the complete resolution of all disease-related radiological abnormalities and the disappearance of all signs and symptoms related to the disease.

    Measured: From enrollment until first occurrence of CR or PR (maximum duration: 6.2 years)

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Phase 1 and 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR was assessed based on the International Working Group Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma (Cheson, 2007), and was defined as the percentage of participants achieving a CR or partial response (PR) as assessed by the study investigators. CR was defined as the complete resolution of all disease-related radiological abnormalities and the disappearance of all signs and symptoms related to the disease. PR was defined at least a 50% decrease in sum of the product of the diameters (SPD) of up to six of the largest dominant nodes or nodal masses. Participants who did not meet the criteria for objective response by the analysis cutoff date were considered non-responders.

    Measured: From enrollment until first occurrence of CR or PR (maximum duration: 6.2 years)

  2. Phase 1 and 2: Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR for participants who experienced an objective response was defined as the date of their first confirmed objective response (CR or PR) to disease progression per the revised International Working Group Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma (Cheson, 2007) or death regardless of cause. CR was defined as the complete resolution of all disease-related radiological abnormalities and the disappearance of all signs and symptoms related to the disease. PR was defined at least a 50% decrease in SPD of up to six of the largest dominant nodes or nodal masses. Disease progression was defined as any new lesion or increase by ≥ 50% of previously involved sites from nadir. The Kaplan-Meier approach was used to estimate DOR.

    Measured: From the date of first confirmed objective response (CR or PR) to disease progression or death regardless of cause (maximum duration: 6.2 years)

  3. Phase 1 and 2: Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from the KTE-C19 infusion date to the date of disease progression per the revised International Working Group Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma (Cheson, 2007) or death from any cause. Disease progression was defined as any new lesion or increase by ≥ 50% of previously involved sites from nadir. The Kaplan-Meier approach was used to estimate PFS.

    Measured: From the date of first KTE-C19 infusion to disease progression or death regardless of cause (maximum duration: 6.2 years)

  4. Phase 1 and 2: Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from KTE-C19 infusion to the date of death from any cause. The Kaplan-Meier approach was used to estimate OS.

    Measured: From the date of first KTE-C19 infusion to the date of death regardless of cause (maximum duration: 6.2 years)

  5. Phase 1 and 2: Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant. The event did not necessarily have a relationship with study treatment. Adverse events included worsening of a pre-existing medical condition. Worsening indicated that the pre-existing medical condition had increased in severity, frequency, and/or duration or had an association with a worse outcome. A pre-existing condition that had not worsened during the study or involved an intervention such as elective cosmetic surgery or a medical procedure while in study, was not considered an adverse event. TEAEs included all AEs with onset on or after initiation of axicabtagene ciloleucel.

    Measured: Up to 1.8 years

  6. Phase 1 and 2: Percentage of Participants With Serum Chemistry Toxicity Grade Shifts to Grade 3 or Higher Resulting From Increased Parameter Values

    Post axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion lab toxicities were reported. It included lab toxicities observed on or after the axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion date.

    ALT = alanine aminotransferase; ALP = alkaline phosphatase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase.

    Measured: Up to 1.8 years

  7. Phase 1 and 2: Percentage of Participants With Serum Chemistry Toxicity Grade Shifts to Grade 3 or Higher Resulting From Decreased Parameter Values

    Post axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion lab toxicities were reported. It included lab toxicities observed on or after the axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion date.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing KTE-C19, Atezolizumab and Cyclophosphamide in people with Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, run by Kite, A Gilead Company at 5 sites 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 12 inclusion and 12 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 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 26 Jun 2020). 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?

Phase 1: Number of Participants Experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Baseline up to 21 days). 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 NCT02926833, which also lists 3 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 6 Mar 2024.
