  • Ages 18 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Twelve patients with low grade follicular lymphoma who consented to long term follow-up and were previously treated with high dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplant with rituximab and alpha interferon as part of the phase II trial Treatment of Follicular Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma with High Dose Therapy and Stem Cell Support Followed by Consolidative Immunotherapy with Rituximab and Alpha Interferon.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with 1-2 relapses of WHO Classification follicle centre NHL grade 1-2/3. Patients must have achieved at least a PR to previous treatment.
  • Central pathology review before registration
  • Ann Arbor stage III or IV
  • Measurable disease: defined as clinically or radiologically documented disease with at least one site bidimensionally measurable using clinical exam, CT or MRI performed in the 3 weeks prior to study enrollment.
  • ECOG performance status of <2.
  • Patients may have received not more than 1 prior course (4 infusions) of rituximab. Timing from last dose of rituximab must exceed 6 months prior to registration. Patients must have demonstrated at least a PR to rituximab if previously administered.
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Patient consent according to institutional and university human experimentation committee requirements
  • Adequate Renal, hepatic and hematopoietic function test unless the abnormal values are thought to be due to involvement with lymphoma as defined by:
  • Hb> 85
  • ANC >1000/mm3
  • Platelets >100,000/mm3
  • Serum/Total Bilirubin >=2 SI units
  • AST/ALT <2x Upper Limit of Normal

Who cannot join

  • Positive serology for HIV
  • Uncontrolled Infection
  • Pregnancy
  • CNS Metastases
  • History of Psychiatric Disorder
  • Other Malignancy (except nonmelanoma skin cancer)
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Serious non-malignant disease (e.g., congestive heart failure, or active uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections), or other conditions, which, in the opinion of the investigator and/or the sponsor, would compromise other protocol objectives.
  • Major surgery, other than diagnostic surgery, within four weeks.
  • Presence of anti-murine antibody (HAMA) reactivity. These laboratory results must be available prior to receiving treatment for those patients
  • who have received prior murine proteins or patients who have allergies to murine proteins.
  • New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart disease (see Appendix H, Clinical Evaluation of Functional Capacity of Patients with Heart Disease in Relation to Ordinary Physical Activity) or myocardial infarction within the past six months.
  • Treatment with an investigational drug within 30 days or five half-lives (of the study drug with the longest half-life) prior to entry into the study, which ever is longer.
  • Previous chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, or investigational therapy for the treatment of other malignancy except basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix within the last 5 years.
  • History of allergic reactions to compounds chemically related to Rituximab.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Follow-up Trial of Rituximab Interferon Transplant Trial: Study Drug-Rituximab and Alpha Interferon

A previous phase II trial entitled Treatment of Follicular non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma with High Dose Therapy and Stem Cell Support Followed by Consolidative Immunotherapy with Rituximab and Alpha Interferon was conducted at the Odette Cancer Centre between 2005 and 2012. The primary objectives of this previous trial was to assess progression free survival and overall survival. Of the 36 patients in this trial, approximately 18 remain in remission. In this new follow up trial, follow up data will prospectively be collected on patients who provide informed consent to do so.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    Number of months from date of enrollment to date of death or last follow-up, whichever comes first.

    Measured: through study completion, up to 15 years

  2. Progression-free survival

    Number of months from date of enrollment to date of progression. Progression is defined as a greater than or equal to 50% increase in the sum of the product of measurable lesions. Appearance of new lesions will also constitute progressive disease.

    Measured: through study completion, up to 15 years

  3. Event-free survival

    Number of months from date of enrollment to date of an event. An event is defined as death, disease progression, transformation, or development of secondary malignancy.

    Measured: through study completion, up to 15 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Adverse events possibly or probably related to transplant

    Adverse events include second malignancies, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), hypogammaglobulinemia, and pulmonary fibrosis. This outcome measurement is descriptive.

    Measured: through study completion, up to 15 years

  2. Minimal Residual Disease

    This exploratory endpoint is used to evaluate the detection of recurrent lymphoma in peripheral blood DNA. It is measured as real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) and is expressed as a percent of detection per 100,000 cells at each follow-up time point.

    Measured: through study completion, up to 15 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma, Follicular, run by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 13 inclusion and 15 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 23 Mar 2017. 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 Canada. 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.

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 survival (time frame: through study completion, up to 15 years). The study lists 3 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 23 Mar 2017.
