Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have histologically confirmed DLBCL with characteristic immunophenotypic profiles. Tumor tissue must be confirmed to express the CD20 antigen by flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry.
  • Patients must have at least one site of measurable disease, 1.5 cm in diameter or greater.
  • Patient has not had any previous treatment.
  • Stage II (not appropriate for abbreviated chemoimmunotherapy and radiotherapy), III or IV disease
  • Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
  • Patients must have laboratory test results within these ranges:

  • Absolute neutrophil count > = 1500/mm³
  • Platelet count > = 75,000/mm³
  • Serum creatinine < = 1.5X upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Total bilirubin < = 1.5X ULN. Higher levels are acceptable if these can be attributed to active hemolysis or ineffective erythropoiesis.
  • AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) < = 2 x ULN
  • Disease free of prior malignancies for > = 5 years with exception of currently treated basal cell, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma "in situ" of the cervix or breast.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to azacitidine treatment.
  • Women of childbearing potential should be advised to avoid becoming pregnant and men should be advised to not father a child while receiving treatment with azacitidine. The effects of azacytidine on the developing human fetus at the recommended therapeutic dose are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
  • Age >18 years.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • ECOG performance status of 0-2

Who cannot join

  • Patients must not have any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality,or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form.
  • Patients must not have any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study.
  • Use of any other experimental drug or therapy within 28 days of baseline.
  • Concurrent use of other anti-cancer agents or treatments.
  • Known positive for HIV or infectious hepatitis B.
  • Known central nervous system involvement by lymphoma.
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to azacitidine or mannitol.
  • Patients must not have advanced malignant hepatic tumors.
  • Pregnant and lactating women are excluded from the study because the risks to an unborn fetus or potential risks in nursing infants are unknown.

About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Trial of Azacytidine + R-CHOP in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

This is a phase I/II open label, multi-center study of azacytidine in combination with standard RCHOP therapy in patients with DLBCL. Patients will be treated with azacytidine at escalating doses on days 1-5, followed by standard dose rituximab plus CHOP chemotherapy on day 8, every 21 days. Patients will be treated for a total 6 cycles. The phase II portion will then evaluate efficacy of the combination at the established MTD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing rituximab, cyclophosphamide and vincristine in people with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University 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 17 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 10 Apr 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 10 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?

Complete Response (time frame: 13 months). 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 10 Apr 2017.
