About this study

Official title: A Phase II Prospective Non-Randomized Clinical Trial of Dose-Adjusted Schedule of Vorinostat in Patients With Primary Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma Who Did Not Receive Prior Systemic Therapy or Have Been Treated With Single Agent Targretin

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well vorinostat works in treating patients with primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the objective response rate to treatment with dose-adjusted Vorinostat schedule in subjects with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) who did not receive prior systematic therapy or have been treated with single agent targretin (bexarotene).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the safety and tolerability of dose-adjusted Vorinostat schedule when administered to patients with primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma who did not receive prior systematic therapy or have been treated with single agent targretin.

II. To determine the time to objective response in subjects with CTCL treated with dose-adjusted schedule of Vorinostat as primary therapy.

III To determine the duration of objective response in subjects with CTCL.

IV. To determine the time to loss of objective response.

  1. To determine the objective response rate of extracutaneous manifestations of CTCL (lymph node enlargement, Sezary cells in peripheral blood).

VI. To compare the efficacy, toxicity and tolerability of dose-adjusted schedule to currently recommended flat dose of Vorinostat in subjects with CTCL.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment arms according to age (< 65 vs >= 65 years old).

COHORT I (>= 65 years old): Patients receive 200 mg vorinostat orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

COHORT II (< 65 years old): Patients receive 400 mg vorinostat PO QD on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for at least 30 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response

    Defined as either no evidence of clinical disease or marked improvement (>= 50%) decrease in the modified Severity-Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT) skin assessment score compared to baseline.

    Measured: After at least 14 days. With Confirmation after additional 28 days.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Objective Response Rate of Extracutaneous Manifestations of CTCL (Lymph Node Enlargement, Sezary Cells in Peripheral Blood);

    Assessed by changes in the sum of the products in the greatest diameters of enlarged lymph nodes by serial computed tomography (CT) or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scans.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post-treatment

  2. Occurrences of Dose Adjustment as Measured by Safety/Toxicity

    Toxicities will be graded in severity according to the guidelines outlined in the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 3.0.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post-treatment

  3. Number of Participants With Overall Response as Measured by Sezary Cell Count

    Overall response defined by a clinically significant decrease in Sezary cell count (>50% decrease from baseline).

    Measured: Baseline to 30 days post-treatment

  4. Changes in the Physicians Serial Assessment of Erythroderma Score

    Measured: Baseline to 30 days post-treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing vorinostat, flow cytometry and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma Stage I and Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma Stage II, run by University of Washington 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 28 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 18 Oct 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 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 15 Dec 2014). 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?

Objective Response (time frame: After at least 14 days. With Confirmation after additional 28 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 18 Oct 2018.
