About this study

Official title: Efficacy of High-dose Chemotherapy with Thiotepa, Busulfan, and Cyclophosphamide Before Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients with Primary/secondary Central Nervous System Lymphoma

The involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) by non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has carried a poor prognosis. For both of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) and secondary central nervous system lymphoma (SCNSL), high-dose methotrexate (HD- MTX) based chemotherapy and combined modality have significantly improved the previously poor response rates and prognosis. However, in PCNSL, relapse rates have remained high, with only 20% to 30% patients achieving a durable long-term remission after HD-MTX. The combination with whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) has resulted in higher disease-free and overall survival rates, but it has also been associated with severe neurotoxicity. Patients with SCNSL fare the worst, typically succumbing to disease within median 2.5 to 4 months with 1-year survival rates of only 25%.

Because of these dismal outcomes, intensification of the high-dose chemotherapy (HDC)with autologous stem cell transplantation (autoSCT) has been explored for PCNSL and SCNSL as salvage treatment in patients with refractory or relapsed disease, and as consolidation after primary chemotherapy, replacing or preceding WBRT. Thiotepa, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide (TBC) have significant penetration of blood-brain barrier as shown in several pharmacokinetic studies. Thus, combination of these 3 agents was proposed as one high-dose chemotherapy regimen to achieve therapeutic concentrations in the lymphoma tissue in chemotherapy sanctuaries, like cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), meninges and eyes. eyes. Several studies have shown promising results and favorable long-term toxicity profiles with this combination. However, the relatively rarity of this tumor precludes rapid completion of large-scale phase III trial and, therefore, our reliance on the results of well-designed phase II trials is critical. Therefore, we evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of thiotepa, bulsulfan, and cyclophosphamide as a conditioning for autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with PCNSL and SCNSL.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Thiotepa in conditioning before transplantationDrug

    Also called high-dose CTx with TBC, followed by auto-SCT

    For patients with ECOG PS 0 or 1 For patients with ECOG PS 0 or 1 and age \< 60 years old, conditioning regimen before autologous stem cell transplantation consists of thiotepa, bulsulfan, and cyclophosphamide from day -9. Beginning on day -9 and through day -7, each patient was treated with thiotepa (200mg/m m2 IV per day). On days -6 to -4, patients received bulsulfan (2.7mg/kg IV over 3 hours per day every). Bulsulfan-related seizure prophylaxis was given with levetriacetam (1500mg loading on day -6, 500mg twice daily on days -5 to -3). On days -3 and -2, cyclophosphamide (60mg/kg IV per day) was given given.

    Patients with ECOG PS 2 or age ≥ 60 years old received bulsulfan (3.2mg/kg IV over 3 hours per day for 2 days) resulting in 8 days regimen.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS was calculated from the date of transplantation to the date of disease progression or death from any cause. Patients who were alive without relapse or progression were censored at the time of last contact.

    Measured: 1-year PFS

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall survival (OS)

    OS was calculated from the date of transplantation to death from any cause.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Relapse rate

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Non-relapse mortality (NRM)

    NRM was defined as any death without evidence of relapse.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  4. Toxicity profile

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Thiotepa in conditioning before transplantation in people with Central Nervous System Lymphoma, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 9 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2024. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: slow enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Progression-free survival (PFS) (time frame: 1-year PFS). 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 3 Oct 2024.
