About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of G3139 (Bcl-2 Antisense) And Rituximab in Patients With Recurrent B-cell Non-Hodgkinâs Lymphomas

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of oblimersen sodium and rituximab can help to shrink or slow the growth of the tumor in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who have not responded to earlier treatment. Oblimersen Sodium is an investigational drug. The safety of this combination treatment will also be studied

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of G3139 (oblimersen sodium) and Rituximab in patients with recurrent B-cell NHL.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the effect of G3139 and Rituximab on the level of Bcl-2 expression.

II. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of G3139 and Rituximab on Bcl-2 protein gene expression.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive oblimersen sodium intravenously (IV) continuously on days 1-7, 15-21, and 29-35 and rituximab IV over 4-6 hours on days 3, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36. Patients achieving stable disease or objective response may receive one additional course of treatment.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing oblimersen sodium, rituximab and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Cutaneous B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Extranodal Marginal Zone B-cell Lymphoma of Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

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 13 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2014. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Feb 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Patients With Objective Response (time frame: 2 months following study treatment). 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 May 2014.
