Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
None listed.
Who cannot join
- Pregnant or nursing because of an unknown potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects.
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) serology negative. HIV positive patients receiving combination anti-retroviral therapy are excluded from the study because of possible pharmacokinetic interactions with flavopiridol. Additionally, the biology of HIV associated DLBCL's is often quite different from HIV negative disease due to involvement of Epstein Barr virus (EBV).
- Hepatitis B surface antigen negative.
- Active central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. These patients have a poor prognosis and because they frequently develop progressive neurological dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurological and other adverse events.
- History of inflammatory bowel disease unless this has been inactive for a period of 2 or more years.
- Recovery from toxicity of prior therapy to a grade 1 or less.
- Systemic cytotoxic or experimental treatments within 4 weeks of treatment.

About this study
Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Flavopiridol in Relapsed or Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) and Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)
Background:
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are aggressive subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Flavopiridol is an investigational drug that works differently from standard chemotherapy and may target abnormalities in MCL and DLBCL cells, such as a protein excess that prevents tumor cells from dying.
A challenge in developing flavopiridol for treatment has been determining its optimal dosing schedule. The schedule used for this study is effective in a type of leukemia called chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and may benefit patients with MCL and DLBCL also.
Objectives:
To determine the highest dose of flavopiridol that can be given safely to patients with relapsed MCL and DLBCL at the dosing schedule detailed below
To assess the response of the tumor to flavopiridol given at the test dosing schedule
Eligibility:
Patients 18 years of age and older with relapsed MCL or DLBCL
Design:
Flavopiridol is given at four different dose levels, starting with the lowest dose for the first group of three to six patients and increasing with subsequent groups, depending on side effects at the preceding dose. The drug is given weekly for 4 weeks followed by a 2-week break (one cycle) for up to six cycles. It is given through a vein as a 30-minute infusion followed by a 4-hour infusion.
Patients undergo the following procedures for research studies and to evaluate the effect of treatment on the tumor:
- Blood tests
- Lymph node, bone marrow and tumor biopsies
- Lymphapheresis to collect blood cells for research
- Disease staging with imaging studies (computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after every 2 cycles
Read the detailed description
Background:
Flavopiridol is a synthetic N-methylpiperidinyl, chlorophenyl flavone compound that targets a number of different cellular pathways and processes.
It works through several different mechanisms that include inhibition of cyclin dependent kinases and the cyclin D-1 complex which is over-expressed in mantle cell lymphoma. Flavopiridol also has demonstrated activity in activated B-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell lines.
One of the great challenges in developing flavopiridol and applying it clinically has been determining its optimal dosing schedule. Following several different dosing schedules, one strategy that has been very promising in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the application of so-called hybrid schedules of the drug (an infusion for an intermediate time following a bolus dose).
Objectives:
Assess the toxicity and safety of administration of this hybrid schedule.
Assess the response rate of the hybrid schedule of flavopiridol in relapsed mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Eligibility:
Relapsed MCL or DLBCL.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status(P.S.) less than or equal to 2.
Age greater than or equal to 18 years.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) serology negative
Design:
Phase I/II.
Phase I portion consists of 3-4 dose levels of 3-6 patients each.
Administer weekly times 4 and then 2 weeks off (1 cycle). Restage after every 2 cycles. Continue if complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) for up to 6 cycles. Dose reductions for toxicity will be addressed in the protocol.
Phase II portion of the study will be a Simon optimal two-stage design: designed to rule out 20% response rate (p0=0.20) in favor of a 45% response rate (p1=0.45).
The maximum sample size to be accrued for this study will be 71 patients.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (e.g. Toxicity)
Here is the number of participants with adverse events. For a detailed list of adverse events see the adverse event module.
Measured: 47 months
Response Rate (Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR))
Response was assessed by the Cheson criteria. Complete response is complete disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and disappearance of all disease related symptoms if present before therapy, and normalization of those biochemical abnormalities (e.g.(LDH) definitely assignable to the lymphoma. All lymph nodes must have regressed to normal size (</= 1.5 cm in greatest diameter if > 1.5 cm before therapy). Previously involved nodes that were 1.1 to 1.5 cm in greatest diameter must have decreased to </= 1 cm or by more than 75% in the sum of the products of the greatest diameters (SPD). Spleen, if considered to be enlarged before therapy, must have regressed in size. Partial response is a >/= 50% decrease in the SPD of 6 largest dominant nodes or nodal masses. No increase in size of nodes, liver or spleen and no new sites of disease. Splenic and hepatic nodules must regress by >/= 50% in the SPD. Bone marrow is irrelevant for determination of a PR.
Measured: 2/16/2007 - 1/20/2011

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Flavopiridol in people with 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 0 inclusion and 8 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 30 Jan 2018. 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 combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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 5 Oct 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?
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (e.g. Toxicity) (time frame: 47 months). 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 NCT00445341, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 30 Jan 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
