About this study

This is a single-arm, open-label Phase II study evaluating the activity of Lenalidomide in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

While the results of primary therapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma are generally excellent, between 10-20% of patients with advanced stage disease will not enter a complete remission (CR) and between 20-30% of patients will relapse after completion of treatment. Salvage chemotherapy followed by high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has become the treatment of choice in patients with relapsed or initially chemotherapy-refractory disease.

Although high dose chemotherapy remains a curative option for the treatment of relapsed or chemotherapy-refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma, up to 50% of patients will ultimately recur post-stem cell transplant and will require further treatment.

Thalidomide is an agent that has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and anti-angiogenic properties. Thalidomide has been shown to have activity in a number of solid and hematologic malignancies, and has demonstrated effectiveness in the treatment of refractory multiple myeloma. A dose escalation study of single-agent thalidomide has been performed in heavily pre-treated patients in which two Hodgkin's patients were enrolled and did not respond to treatment. Based on the NCI experience with vinblastine, we initiated a phase II trial examining the combination of thalidomide and vinblastine in patients who were being treated palliatively for Hodgkin's lymphoma. In a heavily pre-treated group of patients (70% of cases having relapsed post-ASCT), a response rate of 40% to the combination was noted with median duration of response of over nine months.

Lenalidomide (Revlimid®) is a thalidomide derivative and the first-in-class novel immunomodulatory agent that has more potent activity as well as a more favourable toxicity profile than the parent compound. Based on the alterations demonstrated in various cytokines and angiogenic markers in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma, we feel that Lenalidomide's immunomodulatory and anti-angiogenic effects make this an ideal drug to study in this lymphoma. This will be the first study to assess Lenalidomide in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma.This is a single arm, open-label phase II multi-centre study evaluating the single agent activity of Lenalidomide in relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (CR + CRu + PR) as determined by International Workshop Criteria.

Initial treatment will consist of lenalidomide 25 mg PO daily given for 21 consecutive days (days 1 - 21), with seven days off on a 28 day cycle.Patients with PR, CR or CRu, may continue on therapy for 2 cycles past best response.Patients with PD at any time or those with evidence of SD after cycle 4 of monotherapy will be eligible to receive treatment with dexamethasone 40 mg PO daily on days 1 - 4 and 15 - 18 of a 28 day cycle while continuing protocol treatment if they continue to meet the criteria of continuation on therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lenalidomide (Revlimid®) in people with Hodgkin Disease, run by University Health Network, Toronto.

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 13 inclusion and 9 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 18 Sep 2020. 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 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?

To assess the response rate (CR + CRu + PR) of Lenalidomide given as a daily oral dose of 25 mg on days 1 - 21 followed by 7 days of no therapy of a 28 day cycle in the treatment of a population with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma (time frame: CT scans performed every two months while on therapy). 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 18 Sep 2020.
