About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of Galiximab in Combination With Rituximab Compared With Rituximab in Combination With Placebo for the Treatment of Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory, Follicular Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

This is a Phase III, multicenter, global, clinical study of an investigational drug called galiximab in combination with an approved drug called rituximab in subjects with follicular NHL.

The purpose of the study is to compare the clinical benefit of galiximab when given in combination with rituximab as compared with rituximab alone (given with placebo) in subjects with follicular NHL. Safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of galiximab and rituximab will also be evaluated.

Being tested
Galiximab in combination with rituximab, Rituximab in combination with placebo
Keywords
relapsed, NHL, pharmacokinetics, antibody, safety, galiximab, efficacy, rituximab, refractory

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess efficacy as measured by progression free survival (PFS), and determine whether rituximab plus galiximab compared to rituximab plus placebo may extend PFS.

    Measured: The duration of this study is approx 4 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Secondary efficacy measures include: event-free survival, time to progression, duration of response, complete response rate, and overall survival.

    Measured: The duration of this study is approx 4 years

  2. Safety measures include: adverse event rates, clinical laboratory results, development of anti-galiximab and human anti-chimeric antibodies.

    Measured: The duration of this study is approx 4 years

  3. Pharmacokinetics

    Measured: The duration of this study is approx 4 years

  4. Quality of Life using both the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lymphoma (FACT-lym) and the EQ-5D (EuroQoL) instruments

    Measured: The duration of this study is approx 4 years

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Galiximab in combination with rituximab in people with Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin's, run by Biogen.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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 2 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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: Enrollment challenges due to changes in standards of care resulted in premature termination. No safety or efficacy events factored into this action.). 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 assess efficacy as measured by progression free survival (PFS), and determine whether rituximab plus galiximab compared to rituximab plus placebo may extend PFS. (time frame: The duration of this study is approx 4 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 2 Oct 2015.
