About this study

Official title: Clinical Efficacy and Safety of IBER Salvage Treatment Followed by Ibrutinib Maintenance for Transplant-ineligible Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL): a Multicenter, Single-arm, Prospective Phase II Study

This is a multicenter, single-arm, prospective phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel combination regimen for relapsed/refractory PCNSL. Specifically, ibrutinib will be administered in combination with ifosfamide, etoposide and rituximab (IBER) as a salvage chemotherapy, which is followed by maintenance ibrutinib monotherapy of fixed duration.

Read the detailed description

Given the limited activity of salvage therapy with high-dose methotrexate re-treatment and/or alkylator-based treatment in patients with relapse or refractory PCNSL, the development of novel salvage chemotherapy regimen remains an area of clinical unmet need.

Ibrutinib, an oral inhibitor of bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), is known to induce death of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cells with dysregulated B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling and has shown promising activity in patients with a variety of B-cell malignancies. Recently, several studies reported that ibrutinib may have an excellent single-agent clinical activity against relapsed or refractory PCNSL. Furthermore, proven pharmacokinetic data suggested that ibrutinib successfully penetrated the BBB and reached the achievable concentration in cerebrospinal fluid. When ibrutinib is administered in combination with BBB-destructing chemotherapeutic agents (such as, temozolomide or etoposide) for salvage treatment of PCNSL, therefore, anti-lymphoma activity of ibrutinib could be maximized.

In this context, this phase II study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IBER salvage chemotherapy followed by ibrutinib maintenance for transplant ineligible patients with relapsed or refractory PCNSL.

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 5 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 26 Aug 2019. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Deok-Hwan Yang, M.D., Ph.D. (+82-61-379-7636, drydh1685@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall response rate (time frame: From date of starting the study treatment until the date of finishing the study treatment for any reason, assessed up to 10 months). 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 NCT04066920, which also lists 16 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 26 Aug 2019.
