About this study

Official title: Effect of Maintenance Hormonal Therapy on the Outcome of Patients With DLBCL

the study aims to detect the benefit of maintenance tamoxifen after achieving CR with conventional immuno-chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy in patients with DLDCL

Read the detailed description

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The standard immuno-chemotherapy (R-CHOP) markedly improves the prognosis of DLBCL, but up to 40% of patients still experience relapse or incomplete remission . So, there is a need for new targeted therapy for such malignancy. Recent studies identified a potential novel target in DLBCL, the ESR2 gene, which codes for the estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) protein, a receptor that can be targeted with selective ER modulators (SERMs) such as tamoxifen. Recent data shows that exposure of DLBCL cell lines to tamoxifen (either alone or in combination with CHOP chemotherapy) results in apoptosis and growth inhibition in vitro and in vivo. these data suggest the potential importance of ERβ in the pathogenesis of DLBCL as well as a potential role for tamoxifen in the treatment of DLBCL.50-100 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL will be treated with standard immuno-chemotherapy according to disease stage with detection of ERB and ERA on the tissue samples using IHC. After the end of chemotherapy treatment patients who achieve CR will be randomized to either receive tamoxifen maintenance (20 mg daily) versus follow up to evaluate possible tamoxifen effect on disease recurrence, DFS and OS.

PT who achieve CR after 2nd line chemotherapy versus post BMT will also be recruited.

What is being measured

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

  1. disease free survival

    the period from CR till 1st relapse

    Measured: 2-5 years

  2. overall survival

    the period from 1st diagnosis till study end or death

    Measured: 2-5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. side effects

    if there is any increase in adverse events while on TAM maintenance

    Measured: 2-5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Tamoxifen 20mg in people with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, run by Sohag 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2024. 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 combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

disease free survival (time frame: 2-5 years). 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?
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 9 Apr 2024.
