Trial summary

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer cell growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Bortezomib and Rituximab for Patients With Post Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders (PTLD)

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer cell growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving bortezomib together with rituximab may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving bortezomib together with rituximab works in treating patients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To estimate the overall (complete and partial) response rates in patients with CD20+ post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders treated with bortezomib and rituximab.

Secondary

  • To evaluate the duration of remission, time to treatment failure, relapse-free survival, and overall survival of these patients.
  • To characterize the quantitative and qualitative toxicities of this regimen.

OUTLINE:

  • Induction therapy: Patients receive bortezomib intravenously (IV) and rituximab IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22.

Patients achieving complete remission (CR) after completion of induction therapy proceed to maintenance therapy after 6 months of rest. Patients achieving partial remission (PR) or stable disease after completion of induction therapy receive additional bortezomib IV on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving CR/PR after completion of bortezomib therapy proceed to maintenance therapy after 3 months of rest.

  • Maintenance therapy: Patients receive bortezomib IV and rituximab IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 6 months for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing rituximab and bortezomib in people with Lymphoproliferative Disorder, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota at 2 sites 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 9 inclusion and 15 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 5 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 5 Apr 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?

Number of Patients With Overall (Complete and Partial) Response Rates (time frame: Day 1 to 2 Years Post Treatment). 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 5 Dec 2017.
