About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Study of Bexxar in Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large Cell Lymphoma (DLCL)

The purpose of this study is to obtain safety and efficacy data using Bexxar in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (DLCL).

Read the detailed description

There is a lack of efficacious treatment options for patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (DLCL) who are not appropriate candidates for stem cell transplantation. DLCL is a relatively radiosensitive disease and patients with DLCL have been reported to respond to anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (MAB) therapy. Therefore, radioimmunotherapy targeting CD20 is a rational and promising therapeutic approach for this patient population.

This study evaluated if Bexxar is safe and efficacious for diffuse large cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Conditions
Lymphoma
Being tested
Bexxar, Acetaminophen, Diphenhydramine, Potassium Iodide (KI)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BexxarDrug

    Also called Tositumomab, iodine-131 tositumomab, I-131 tositumomab

    Bexxar is a radioimmunotherapeutic drug, an antibody that specifically attaches to the CD20 antigen, which is present on the surfaces of B cells and B cell lymphoma cells. The radioactive isotope then gives off radiation, which kills the cells.

    Bexxar will be administered to provide the following patient-specific radiotherapy:

    • Platelet count of 150,000/mm³ = 75 cGy
    • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm³ but < 150,000/mm³ = 65 cGy
  • AcetaminophenDrug

    Also called Tylenol

    As premedication 30 to 60 minutes before antibody infusion; 650 mg, oral. Used to as to relieve pain

  • DiphenhydramineDrug

    Also called Benadryl

    As premedication 30 to 60 minutes before antibody infusion; 50 mg, oral. Used to prevent inflammation or allergic reactions

  • Potassium Iodide (KI)Drug

    Also called Saturated solution potassium iodine (SSKI), Lugol's solution

    Administered to prevent thyroid blockage 130 mg orally 3 times a day,

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical Response Rate

    Clinical response rate for all participants, reported as the sum of the numbers of patients achieving complete response (CR, complete disappearance of all lesions); functional CR (fCR, minimal residual disease but clear of disease by positron emission tomography (PET)-scan); or partial response (PR, ≥ decrease in size of lesions and negative for active disease by PET-scan). Progressive disease (PD, advancing cancer) or stable disease (not CR, fCR, or PD) not included as Clinical Response.

    Measured: 6 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to Progression (TTP)

    Time of disease progression reported as the number of subjects experiencing disease progression at the time point of progression.

    Measured: 1.5 months; 3 months; 6 months; or Not Progressed

  2. Overall Survival (OS) Rate

    Overall survival reported as the percentage of participants (less lost-to-follow-up) surviving at 6 years.

    Measured: 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bexxar, Acetaminophen and Diphenhydramine in people with Lymphoma, run by Susan Knox 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 16 inclusion and 19 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 Mar 2017. 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 28 Feb 2017). 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?

Clinical Response Rate (time frame: 6 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 30 Mar 2017.
