Trial summary

BBR 2778 is a novel aza-anthracenedione that has activity in experimental tumors and shows reduced potential for cardiotoxicity in animal models. This cytotoxic agent has structural similarities with mitoxantrone as well as general similarities with anthracyclines (such as the tricyclic central quinoid chromophore). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pixantrone (BBR 2778) Versus Other Chemotherapeutic Agents for Third-line Single Agent Treatment of Patients With Relapsed Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma: A Randomized, Controlled, Phase III Comparative Trial

BBR 2778 is a novel aza-anthracenedione that has activity in experimental tumors and shows reduced potential for cardiotoxicity in animal models. This cytotoxic agent has structural similarities with mitoxantrone as well as general similarities with anthracyclines (such as the tricyclic central quinoid chromophore).

Read the detailed description

The primary study objective is to compare the efficacy of BBR 2778 to a selection of single agents. Secondary objectives are to compare the safety and tolerability of BBR 2778 to a selection of single agents, and to assess the pharmacokinetic parameters of BBR 2778 in a subset of this patient population.

Being tested
pixantrone, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, rituximab, prednisone, Vinorelbine, Oxalplatin, Ifosfasmide, Etoposide, Mitoxatrone, Gemcitabine or Rituximab
Keywords
Pixantrone, Non-Hodgkins lymphoma
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete Response (CR) and Complete Response Unconfirmed (CRu)

    Proportion of patients with a best response of complete response (CR) or Complete Response unconfirmed (CRu) in the End Of Treatment (EOT) or End Of Study (EOS) analyses by independent assessment in the Intent-to-treat (ITT) population through the End of Treatment (EOT)

    Measured: EOT; approximately 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    The time between the date of randomization and the date of the initial documentation of progressive/relapsed disease or death due to any cause.

    Measured: 18 months after 6 cycles of treatment; approximately 24 months

  2. Overall Survival

    The time between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause.

    Measured: 18 months after 6 cycles of treatment; approximately 24 months

  3. Overall Response Rate (ORR) Lasting at Least 4 Months

    The proportion of patients with Complete response or Partial Response with a difference from the first documented objective response to disease progression or death of at least 4 months.

    Measured: approximately 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing pixantrone, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, rituximab, prednisone and Vinorelbine, Oxalplatin, Ifosfasmide, Etoposide, Mitoxatrone, Gemcitabine or Rituximab in people with Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin, run by CTI BioPharma at 99 sites in 20 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 5 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 99 sites in Russia, Italy, United States, Argentina, India and 15 more countries. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Jun 2017). 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?

Complete Response (CR) and Complete Response Unconfirmed (CRu) (time frame: EOT; approximately 6 months). 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 NCT00088530, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Feb 2020.
