What is being measured

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

  1. Complete Response Rate

    The proportion of response-evaluable subjects who achieved a confirmed complete response (CR) or complete response unconfirmed (CRu). Disease response and progression were evaluated according to modified International Workshop Response Criteria (IWRC) criteria by radiographic imaging and other procedures as necessary.

    Measured: Up to 8 cycles (1 cycle is 35 days: 280 days)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Response Rate

    The proportion of subjects who achieve CR, CRu, or partial response (PR) relative to the response evaluable population. Disease response and progression were evaluated according to the modified IWRC criteria by radiographic imaging and other procedures as necessary.

    Measured: Up to 8 cycles (1 cycle is 35 days: 280 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing fludarabine, rituximab and VELCADE in people with Follicular Lymphoma, run by Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 43 sites in 7 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 12 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 43 sites in Germany, Italy, France, Israel, Spain and 2 more countries. 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 1 Nov 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?

Complete Response Rate (time frame: Up to 8 cycles (1 cycle is 35 days: 280 days)). 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 12 Dec 2012.
