What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Grade III and IV Hypersensitivity Reactions

    Measured: Every 15 minutes from start of infusion until completion, for up to 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time Savings of a 60 Minute Infusion Versus Predicted Infusion Time Using Standard Second Dose Titration Schedule

    Measured: Determined from difference in expected time by package insert administration and actual time on day of treatment

  2. Demonstrate Nursing Satisfaction for Administration of Rapid Infusion Over Standard Titration Practice

    Surveys were given to nurses in the outpatient infusion center to measure their satisfaction with the administration of the rapid infusion rate compared to standard titration practice.

    Measured: 6 months, as a before and after infusion survey

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rituximab in people with Indolent or Intermediate Grade B-cell Malignancy, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 5 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 20 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 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 23 Feb 2015). 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?

Incidence of Grade III and IV Hypersensitivity Reactions (time frame: Every 15 minutes from start of infusion until completion, for up to 1 hour). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01206777, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Dec 2017.
