About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Trial of VP-16 Plus G-CSF Plus Rituximab vs VP-16 Plus G-CSF Alone for Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cell Mobilization Prior to Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for B Cell Lymphoid Malignancies

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as busulfan, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, or chemotherapy, such as etoposide, helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored until transplant. Giving etoposide and G-CSF together with rituximab before a peripheral stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well giving etoposide and G-CSF with or without rituximab works in treating patients who are undergoing an autologous peripheral stem cell transplant for B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine whether mobilization with etoposide and filgrastim (G-CSF) with or without rituximab influences CD34+ cell yield in patients undergoing autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
  • Determine the acute toxicity of rituximab in combination with etoposide and G-CSF for peripheral blood stem cell mobilization in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized study.

  • Stem cell mobilization: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 mobilization arms.
  • Arm I: Patients receive rituximab IV over 4 hours on days 1, 8, and 15. Patients also receive etoposide IV over 4 hours on day 15 and filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) beginning on day 17 and continuing until approximately day 25. Patients then undergo apheresis over 5 days or until an adequate amount of stem cells are collected. After stem cell collection is completed, patients proceed to the preparative regimen.
  • Arm II: Patients receive etoposide IV over 4 hours on day 1 and G-CSF SC beginning on day 3 and continuing until approximately day 11. Patients then undergo apheresis over 5 days or until an adequate amount of stem cells are collected. After stem cell collection is completed, patients proceed to the preparative regimen.
  • Preparative regimen: Patients receive oral busulfan once daily on days -8 to -4, etoposide IV over 4 hours on day -4, and cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -3 and -2.
  • Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT): Patients undergo autologous PBSCT on day 0. Beginning on day 5, patients receive G-CSF SC or IV once daily until blood counts recover.

After completion study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 10 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 54 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing filgrastim and rituximab in people with Lymphoma, run by The Cleveland Clinic 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?

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 29 Mar 2011. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Correlate CD34+ cell yields with the addition of rituximab (time frame: At least two weeks prior to transplant). 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 NCT00274794, 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 29 Mar 2011.
