About this study

Official title: PHASE II STUDY OF ORAL ETOPOSIDE WITH PHARMACODYNAMIC MODELING IN RELAPSED NON-HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA (IWF GRADES A-H)

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of etoposide in treating patients with relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the response rate and response duration in patients with relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma when treated with daily oral etoposide. II. Describe the toxic effects of daily oral etoposide in these patients. III. Monitor etoposide trough levels and determine whether etoposide concentrations correlate with age, response, and toxicity.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral etoposide daily for 21 days. Treatment is repeated every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients in complete or partial remission receive 2 courses past best response (minimum 6 courses). Patients with stable disease after 3 courses may be removed from study. Patients are followed every 6 months for 2 years, then annually for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 97 patients will be accrued for this study over 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Etoposide phosphate in people with Lymphoma, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. 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 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?

Pharmacodynamics of etoposide (time frame: days 8, 15, and 22 of tx). 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 28 Jun 2016.
