About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Venetoclax and Romidepsin With Safety Lead-In for Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Mature T-Cell Lymphomas

This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax and romidepsin to see how well it works in treating patients with mature T-cell lymphoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Venetoclax and romidepsin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the safety and tolerability of the combination of venetoclax with romidepsin, including the dose ramp-up, in adults with relapsed or refractory mature T-cell lymphoma. (Safety Lead-in) II. To estimate the efficacy as measured by the overall response rate (ORR) of venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory mature T-cell lymphoma. (Phase 2)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the complete response rate, duration of response, time to response, overall survival and progression free survival associated with venetoclax and romidepsin in relapsed/refractory mature T-cell lymphoma. (Phase 2) II. To further characterize the safety and toxicities of venetoclax and romidepsin combination in relapsed/refractory mature T-cell lymphoma. (Phase 2)

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine BCL2 protein expression in base line treatment tumor samples and correlatieon with response.

II. To determine changes in Bcl-2 gene expression in pre- and post-treatment tumor samples of mature T- cell lymphoma.

OUTLINE: This is a safety lead-in dose-escalation study, followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive venetoclax orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 and romidepsin intravenously (IV) on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 26 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for up to 24 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With Grade 3 or Above Toxicities

    Graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v.) 5.0. During the first 2 cycles, all grades of toxicity will be collected. After cycle 2, only the highest grade of any toxicity will be collected for each cycle during protocol treatment and for the period of safety follow-up after end of treatment.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post-treatment, an average of 4 months.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival at 100 Days

    Overall survival (OS) was measured from start of the study treatment to death from any cause. OS to be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan- Meier with the Greenwood estimator of standard error.

    Measured: From the start of study treatment up to 100 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Romidepsin and Venetoclax in people with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma and Recurrent Mature T-Cell and NK-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by City of Hope Medical Center at 2 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 28 inclusion and 24 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 19 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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 22 Jun 2023). 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 Grade 3 or Above Toxicities (time frame: Up to 30 days post-treatment, an average of 4 months.). 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 19 Oct 2023.
