Trial summary

This phase II trial is studying how well vorinostat works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vorinostat, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) in Indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

This phase II trial is studying how well vorinostat works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vorinostat, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vorinostat may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of SAHA (vorinostat) as assessed by the objective response rate, time to progression and survival in subjects with advanced lymphoma.

II. To assess the toxicity profile of SAHA in this patient population. III. To perform correlative laboratory investigations to confirm modulation of chromatin acetylation as the biologic target and attempt to gain insight into the downstream molecular mechanisms involved in the induction of apoptosis mediated by SAHA.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive vorinostat orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate

    Radiological assessment by CT and/or PET scan after every three cycles (every 3 months). Response assessed by the standard Cheson criteria (Cheson et al, J Clin Oncol 17:1244, 1999). Complete Remission (CR) - (a) FDG-avid or PET positive prior to therapy; mass of any size permitted if PET negative (b) Variably FDG-avid or PET negative; regression to normal size on CT; Partial Remission (PR) - 50% or greater decrease in SPD of up to 6 largest dominant masses; no increase in size of other nodes (a) FDG-avid or PET positive prior to therapy; one or more PET positive at previously involved site (b) Variably FDG-avid or PET negative; regression on CT. Response Rate = CR + PR.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Grades 3 \& 4 adverse events definitely, probably or possibly related to treatment, graded by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in Histone Acetylation by Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

    Histone acetylation by IHC will be scored as -, +, ++, or +++, reflecting both the intensity of staining as well as the number of cells stained. Analysis will be descriptive, with the goal of describing baseline distributions and estimating the frequency and degree of changes from baseline.

    Measured: Baseline to up to day 14

  2. Change in Histone Acetylation by Western Blot (WB)

    Histone acetylation by WB will be recorded as the ratio of acetylated histone (measured by photodensitometry) divided by the total histone (H3 or H4), in order to control for the amount of protein loaded. Analysis will be descriptive, with the goal of describing baseline distributions and estimating the frequency and degree of changes from baseline.

    Measured: Baseline to up to day 14

  3. 2-Year Overall Survival

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.

    Measured: Until Death from any cause, up to 2 years

  4. 2-Year Progression Free-Survival

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier. Progression defined as any new lesion or increase by greater than 50% of previously involved sites from nadir.

    Measured: Until death or progression, up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Vorinostat in people with Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue and Nodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 13 inclusion and 9 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 6 Mar 2018. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Mar 2018). 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?

Response Rate (time frame: Up to 3 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00253630, 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 6 Mar 2018.
