About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (NSC-701852) for Recurrent or Primary Refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma

This phase II trial is studying how well vorinostat works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the response probability (complete, complete unconfirmed, and partial) in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma.

II. To estimate 1-year progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with SAHA.

III. To assess the toxicity profile of SAHA in this patient population. IV. To perform gene expression profiling on tumor tissue before and after treatment in order to explore in a preliminary manner the association between response and specific gene expression results.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral vorinostat twice daily on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) receive 2 additional courses of therapy beyond CR.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 6 months for 2 years and then annually for 3 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess Number of Patients Who Achieve Confirmed and Unconfirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)

    Complete Response(CR) is a complete disappearance of all disease with the exception of nodes. No new lesions. previously enlarged organs must have regressed and not be palpable. Bone marrow(BM) must be negative if positive at baseline. Normalization of markers. CR Unconfirmed (CRU) does not qualify for CR above, due to a residual nodal mass or an indeterminate BM. Partial Response(PR) is a 50% decrease in the SPD for up to 6 identified dominant lesions, including spleenic and hepatic nodules from baseline. No new lesions and no increase in the size of liver, spleen or other nodes.

    Measured: after every 3 cycles on treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-Free Survival

    Measured from date of registration to date of first observation of progression or death, or last contact date. Progression is defined as a 50% increase in sum of products of greatest diameters (SPD) of target measurable lesions over the smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease during therapy) using the same techniques as baseline; appearance of a new lesion/site; unequivocal progression of non-measurable disease in the opinion of the treating physician; death due to disease without prior documentation of progression.

    Measured: after every 3 cycles on treatment, then every 6 months for 2 years, then annually for a total of 5 years.

  2. Overall Survival

    Measured from date of registration to death, or last contact date

    Measured: after every 3 cycles on treatment, then every 6 months for 2 years, then annually for a total of 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing vorinostat and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Adult Favorable Prognosis Hodgkin Lymphoma and Adult Lymphocyte Depletion Hodgkin Lymphoma, 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 23 inclusion and 0 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 23 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 19 Sep 2012). 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?

Assess Number of Patients Who Achieve Confirmed and Unconfirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (time frame: after every 3 cycles on 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 23 May 2014.
