About this study

Official title: Phase II Study With Ga101-DHAP as Induction Therapy in Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) Patients Before High-Dose Chemotherapy BEAM With Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT)

Aim of this trial is to assess the efficacy of new anti-CD20 antibody (GA101) in association with DHAP as induction therapy before high dose chemotherapy BEAM with ASCT in patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multicenter, single arm, phase II trial in young patients (18-65 years) affected by relapsed/refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) at diagnosis,eligible to high-dose therapy.

Aim of the study is to assess whether the addition of GA101 to DHAP is more promising than standard R-DHAP, as induction therapy before high dose chemotherapy BEAM with ASCT with respect to response.

The study is designed primarily to evaluate the efficacy of GA101-DHAP in patients with DLBCL who have relapsed or are refractory to one chemotherapy regimen and secondarily to assess safety and capability to mobilize peripheral stem cells The study is designed with two stages and with stopping rules after the first stage. In particular, at the end of the first stage, the study will be stopped if the efficacy is too low or if the toxicity, measured during the drug administration period, is too high with respect to pre-defined thresholds. .

What is being measured

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

  1. Aim of this trial is to assess the efficacy of new anti-CD20 antibody (GA101) in association with DHAP as induction therapy before high dose chemotherapy BEAM with ASCT in patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL.

    Primary objective is to assess whether the treatment achieves an absolute increase of the CR proportion of at least 20% (from 30% to 50%) with respect to the standard treatment.

    The complete response rate (CR) evaluated by PET scan after four cycles of GA101-DHAP before ASCT according to Cheson criteria.

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) prior to consolidation with BEAM and ASCT

    A patient is defined as a responder if she/he has a complete or partial response, evaluated by PET/TC, after four cycles of GA101-DHAP

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Progression free survival (PFS) at 6 month after the end of treatment (EOT)

    Measured from the date of starting salvage therapy to the date of disease progression, relapse or death from any cause. Responding patients and patients who are lost to follow up will be surveyed at their last assessment date.

    Measured: 6 month

  3. Overall Survival (OS) at 2 years after the EOT

    Measured from the date of starting salvage therapy to the date of death from any cause. Patients alive at the time of the final analysis will be surveyed at the date of the last contact. For both PFS and OS minimum follow up time required for all patients will be 2 years.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Toxicity: Severe, life-threatening, fatal (grade 3, 4 and 5) and/or serious adverse events

    Severe, life-threatening, fatal (grade 3, 4 and 5) and/or serious adverse events are defined according to "Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events" (CTCAE), version 4.0. and adverse events of special interests (AESI)

    Measured: 2 years

  5. The hematopoietic cell mobilization

    Mobilizing potential: amount of CD34 + stem cell collected /Kg

    Measured: 2 years

  6. Feasibility: the rate of patients actually proceeding to ASCT

    Proportion of patients successfully completing ASCT

    Measured: 2 years

Why it stopped: Interim analysis planned as per protocol didn't provide positive outcome therefore enrollment was not reopened. However, the enrolled patients concluded therapy and continued into the follow-up phase. The study was closed only after LVLP.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GA101_DHAP in people with Diffuse, Large B-Cell, Lymphoma, run by Fondazione Italiana Linfomi - ETS at 10 sites in Italy.

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 26 inclusion and 23 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 6 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Italy. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Interim analysis planned as per protocol didn't provide positive outcome therefore enrollment was not reopened. However, the enrolled patients concluded therapy and continued into the follow-up phase. The study was closed only after LVLP.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Aim of this trial is to assess the efficacy of new anti-CD20 antibody (GA101) in association with DHAP as induction therapy before high dose chemotherapy BEAM with ASCT in patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL. (time frame: 4 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 6 Jun 2022.
