About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Depsipeptide, a Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor, in Relapsed or Refractory Mantle Cell or Diffuse Large Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

FR901228 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell to grow and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. This phase II trial is studying how well FR901228 works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the response rate (complete and partial) to FR901228 in patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell or diffuse large cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

II. Evaluate the safety and feasibility of FR901228, in terms of the incidence of toxicity and maximum grade observed and courses delayed or dose reductions, in these patients.

III. Determine 2-year progression-free and overall survival.

OUTLINE: Patients receive FR901228 IV over 4 hours on days 1, 8, and 15.

Treatment repeats every 28 days for at least 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3-6 months for up to 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Objective Response Rate (Complete Response [CR] and Partial Response [PR]) After 6 Courses of Treatment

    International Working Group response for non- Hodgkin's lymphoma: Complete Response (CR) - disappearance all detectable clinical/radiographic evidence of disease and disappearance of all disease-related symptoms (present before therapy) and normalization of those biochemical abnormalities; Partial Response (PR) - ≥50% decrease in sum products of greatest diameters (SPD) of 6 largest dominant nodes or nodal masses, selected by clearly measurable in at least two perpendicular dimensions, from disparate regions of body and no decrease in size of other nodes, liver, or spleen.

    Measured: 24 weeks (6 courses of 4 week cycles)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Median Progression Free-survival (PFS)

    Time to disease progression is defined as the time from registration to documentation of disease progression.

    Measured: 2 Years

  2. Median Overall Survival

    Survival time is defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause, measured in months. The distribution of survival time estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: 5 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing romidepsin in people with Recurrent Adult Diffuse Large Cell Lymphoma and Recurrent Mantle 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 33 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 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 22 Aug 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?

Overall Objective Response Rate (Complete Response [CR] and Partial Response [PR]) After 6 Courses of Treatment (time frame: 24 weeks (6 courses of 4 week cycles)). 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 20 May 2014.
