About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Cyclophosphamide/Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin/Vincristine/Prednisone (CDOP) Plus Rituximab for Treatment of Elderly Patients With Previously Untreated Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Currently there is no one standard of care for older patients with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). The study will examine the tolerability and feasibility to the combination of Cyclophosphamide, Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisone (CDOP) plus Rituximab.

Read the detailed description

Elderly NHL patients tend to tolerate the combination of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) less well when compared to the younger population. Cardiotoxicity, as well as neutropenia, are the most common side effects in the elderly population with age being a risk factor for doxorubicin induced cardiac toxicity. Treatment related toxicity in the older population can preclude adequate therapy and potentially contribute to poor outcomes. Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin has shown similar efficacy with a significant lower incidence of cardiotoxicity ad significantly fewer cardiac events compared with conventional doxorubicin. Exploration of alternative regimens to maximize tolerability and thus enhance overall efficacy in this population is warranted. Both safety and efficacy will be evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CDOP plus rituximab in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by Geriatric Oncology Consortium at 5 sites 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 7 inclusion and 5 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 16 Nov 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 was stopped early (reason given: slow accrual). 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?

To evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of CDOP plus rituximab in elderly patients with previously untreated NHL.. 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 16 Nov 2007.
