About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of an Outpatient Schedule of Rituximab, Cytarabine, Carboplatin, and Dexamethasone in Relapsed/Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Phase I/II Trial.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combination of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody Rituximab, Dexamethasone, daily high dose Cytarabine twice, and Carboplatin; delivered in an outpatient setting.

Read the detailed description

The R-DHAP (Rituximab, Dexamethasone, Cytarabine, and Cisplatin) schedule includes high-dose cytarabine every 12 hours and requires careful monitoring of renal toxicity because of cisplatin. These conditions limit the use of this protocol in an outpatient setting.

The S phase of lymphoma cells is longer than 12 hours, then cytarabine can be used daily without reduction of the antineoplastic effect. Carboplatin does not have remarkable renal toxicity so is not necessary to monitor blood chemistry or IV fluids during its administration.

The study hypothesis is that modifications to the original R-DHAP protocol, using cytarabine on a daily basis and the substitution of cisplatin by carboplatin can preserve the efficacy, reducing the incidence of renal events. The investigators hypothesize that those modifications can make the schedule more suitable for an outpatient administration in relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients.

After 3 cycles of chemotherapy, the overall response and the incidence of adverse events will be evaluated.

In order to achieve the purpose of this trial, 130 participants will be included.

Being tested
Rituximab, Carboplatin, Cytarabine Injection, Dexamethasone, Filgrastim 0.3 MG/ML

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Rituximab, Carboplatin and Cytarabine Injection in people with Relapsed Non Hodgkin Lymphoma and Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by La Raza Medical Center at 1 site in Mexico.

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 8 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 18 May 2021. 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 Mexico. 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?

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 Response Rate (time frame: 63 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 NCT03892421, which also lists 4 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 18 May 2021.
