About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Single-arm Trail of Chidamide Combined With Rituximab and High-dose Methotrexate in Previously Untreated Patients With Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and patient reported outcomes of chidamide 20 mg biw PO day1-14 and rituximab 375 mg/m2 IV given on day 1 and methotrexate 3.5g/m2 IV given on day 2 of every 21-day cycle for 6 cycles in untreated patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma.

The primary study endpoint will be complete response (CR) rate as assessed by the investigator. The hypothesis is previously untreated patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma could achieve a CR rate of 80% with C-R-HDMTX.

Being tested
chidamide combined with rituximab and high-dose methotrexate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing chidamide combined with rituximab and high-dose methotrexate in people with Central Nervous System Lymphoma, run by Fudan University.

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 10 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 18 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Fangfang Lv (+86-18018312613, lvff80@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CR rate (time frame: up to 18 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 NCT04516655, which also lists 25 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 Aug 2020.
