About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of BAY 43-9006 (IND 69896) in Chemosensitive Relapsed Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas

Sorafenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the cancer and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with chemosensitive recurrent aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the overall response rate, including complete and partial responses, in patients with chemosensitive, relapsed, aggressive, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with sorafenib.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

II. Determine response duration in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.

Patients receive oral sorafenib twice daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 33 patients will be accrued for this study.

Being tested
sorafenib tosylate, laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate (complete and partial response)

    Will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR. The exact binomial method will be used to determine the confidence interval of response rate.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall survival

    The Kaplan-Meier product-limit method will be used in analysis of survival time.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Time to disease progression

    The Kaplan-Meier product-limit method will be used in analysis of time to disease progression.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sorafenib tosylate and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma and Recurrent Adult Diffuse Large Cell 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 50 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 7 Feb 2013. 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?

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?

Objective response rate (complete and partial response) (time frame: Up to 2 years). 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 7 Feb 2013.
