About this study

Official title: Thalidomide, Cyclophosphamide and Prednisone in Newly Diagnosed Multicentric Castleman's Disease: a Prospective, Single-center, Single-arm, Phase-II Pilot Trial

To explore the effectiveness and safety of thalidomide, cyclophosphamide and prednisone (TCP regimen) in newly diagnosed Multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, open-labeled , single arm, phase-II pilot study which aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of thalidomide, cyclophosphamide and prednisone (TCP regimen) in newly diagnosed Multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) patients.There would be two phases of the study. The treatment and the response evaluation phase will last from the time of enrollment up to 24 months (evaluation will be carried out every 3 months). The follow-up phase to assess for progression of disease will last from 24 months (2 years) to 4 years after enrollment (evaluation will be carried out every 12 months).The total study duration will be 4 years after the last patient starts study medication.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With Durable Tumor and Symptomatic Response

    Durable tumor and symptomatic response is complete response (CR) + partial response (PR). CR: complete disappearance of all measurable and evaluable disease (eg, pleural effusion) and resolution of baseline symptoms attributed to multicentric Castleman's disease, sustained for at least 18 weeks. PR: >=50 percent decrease in sum of the product of the diameters of indicator lesion(s), with at least stable disease in all other evaluable disease in the absence of treatment failure sustained for at least 6 months.

    Measured: From baseline to the time point when a patient achieves treatment response for 24 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time to death or treatment failure. Treatment failure is defined as: sustained increase in grade ≥2 disease-related symptoms persisting ≥12 weeks; new disease-related grade ≥3 symptoms; sustained >1 point increase in ECOG-PS persisting for ≥12 weeks; radiological progression; or initiation of another treatment for MCD.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival, defined as the time to patients' death, is measured.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months.

  3. Change in SF-36 Score

    SF-36 score is a self-administered scoring system which reflects a patient's general health status. SF-36 contains 8 dimensions, including physical functioning, role physical, role emotional, vitality, mental health, social functioning, bodily pain, and general health. Each dimension ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores mean better outcome. SF-36 score at baseline was compared with SF-36 score at 24 weeks.

    Measured: From baseline to 24 weeks after treatment.

  4. Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0 ( ≥1 Grade)

    Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (patients with grades ≥1 would be included)

    Measured: From initiation of TCP regimen to 3 months after the end of treatment or to time point of the initiation of second line therapy.

  5. Number of Participants With Treatment-related Serious Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0 ( ≥3 Grade)

    Number of participants with treatment-related serious adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (patients with grades ≥3 would be included)

    Measured: From initiation of TCP regimen to 3 months after the end of treatment or to time point of the initiation of second line therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Thalidomide, cyclophosphamide and prednisone in people with Multicentric Castleman Disease, run by Peking Union Medical College 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2020. 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 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 16 Apr 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?

Number of Patients With Durable Tumor and Symptomatic Response (time frame: From baseline to the time point when a patient achieves treatment response for 24 weeks.). 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 NCT03043105, 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 16 Apr 2020.
