About this study

Official title: Ketogenic Diet Adjunctive to High Dose Methotrexate Chemotherapy for Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma

Ketogenic diet has shown auxiliary effect on treatment of malignant tumors require high glucose consumption. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ketogenic diet adjunctive to high dose methotrexate(HD-MTX) chemotherapy for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).

Read the detailed description

In a pilot study of primary central nervous system(CNS) lymphoma patients, ketogenic diet was given in adjunction with standard HD-MTX chemotherapy as interventional group; standard HD-MTX is given with routine diet as control group. The primary endpoint is the safety of ketogenic diet in PCNSL patients receiving chemotherapy, secondary endpoints include rate of complete remission, remission time, rate of tumor relapse and overall survival.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ketogenic dietDietary supplement

    Ketogenic diet is given to maintain blood ketone level above 2 mmol/L.

  • Routine dietDietary supplement

    Routine diet is given without blood ketone requirement

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ketogenic diet groupExperimentalKetogenic diet is given in combination to standard HD-MTX chemotherapy to primary central nervous system lymphoma patients. Blood ketone is kept no less than 2mmol/L during the initial 4 cycles of chemotherapy. The adverse events is monitored and recorded. Tumor response is evaluated and recorded.

routine diet groupActive comparatorStandard HD-MTX chemotherapy is given with routine diet.Blood ketone is measured and recorded. The adverse events is monitored and recorded. Tumor response is evaluated and recorded.
Receives: Dietary Supplement: Routine diet

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    The number and incidence (%) of treatment related adverse events among participants

    Measured: Two years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The chemosensitivity of tumor

    The rate of complete remission after treatment assessed according to serial contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

    Measured: Two years

  2. Long term effect of chemotherapy

    The average time from complete remission of tumor to relapse

    Measured: Two years

  3. overall survival

    Participants will be followed until reported death to calculate overall survival

    Measured: Three years

  4. Quality of life

    Short Form 36 Questionnaire will be used to assess patients' quality of life

    Measured: Two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ketogenic diet and Routine diet in people with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma, run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2016. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Song Lin, M.D. (861067096509, linsong2005@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (time frame: Two years). 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 6 Dec 2016.
