What is being measured

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

  1. Safety Analysis - Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) in the DLT Evaluation Phase

    DLTs are defined as any study drug-related toxicity (brentuximab vedotin or nivolumab) that requires either a dose reduction or delay of more than 7 days of either study drug in Cycle 2 or delays the Cycle 3 Day 1 administration of combined treatment by more than 7 days.

    Measured: From first dose of treatment to 6 weeks after first dose

  2. Safety Analysis - Number of Participant Deaths

    Number of participant Deaths

    Measured: CTCL: 20 Months, PTCL: 26.5 Months, DLBCL: 26 Months, MGZL: 30 Months and PMBL 25.5 Months

  3. Safety Analysis - Number of Participants With Adverse Advents

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (such as an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug.

    Measured: CTCL: 20 Months, PTCL: 26.5 Months, DLBCL: 26 Months, MGZL: 30 Months and PMBL 25.5 Months

  4. Safety Analysis - Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events

    A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:

    • results in death
    • is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe)
    • requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization.
    • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity
    • is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
    • is an important medical event

    Measured: CTCL: 20 Months, PTCL: 26.5 Months, DLBCL: 26 Months, MGZL: 30 Months and PMBL 25.5 Months

  5. Safety Analysis - Number of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation

    Number of participants with adverse events leading to discontinuation

    Measured: CTCL: 20 Months, PTCL: 26.5 Months, DLBCL: 26 Months, MGZL: 30 Months and PMBL 25.5 Months

  6. Safety Analysis - Number of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Dose Delay or Reduction

    Number of participants with adverse events leading to dose delay or reduction

    Measured: CTCL: 20 Months, PTCL: 26.5 Months, DLBCL: 26 Months, MGZL: 30 Months and PMBL 25.5 Months

  7. Safety Analysis - Number of Participants With Drug Related Adverse Events

    Number of participants with Drug Related Adverse Events

    Measured: CTCL: 20 Months, PTCL: 26.5 Months, DLBCL: 26 Months, MGZL: 30 Months and PMBL 25.5 Months

  8. Safety Analysis - Percentage of Participants With Thyroid Test Abnormalities

    Percentage of participants with specific thyroid test abnormalities

    Measured: CTCL: 20 Months, PTCL: 26.5 Months, DLBCL: 26 Months, MGZL: 30 Months and PMBL 25.5 Months

  9. Safety Analysis - Percentage of Participants With Liver Test Abnormalities

    Percentage of participants with specific Liver test abnormalities

    Measured: CTCL: 20 Months, PTCL: 26.5 Months, DLBCL: 26 Months, MGZL: 30 Months and PMBL 25.5 Months

  10. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    The percentage of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of CR or PR.

    DLBCL, PTCL, PMBL \& MGZL complete and partial response are outlined in the Lugano Classification 2014 and Lymphoma Response to Immunomodulatory therapy Criteria.

    CTCL complete and partial response are defined in The consensus Global Response Score assessment.

    Measured: CTCL: 20 Months, PTCL: 26.5 Months, DLBCL: 26 Months, MGZL: 30 Months and PMBL 25.5 Months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR will be calculated from the date of initial documentation of a response (CR, or PR) to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (or relapse for participants who experience CR during the study) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    DLBCL, PTCL, PMBL \& MGZL complete and partial response are outlined in the Lugano Classification 2014 and Lymphoma Response to Immunomodulatory therapy Criteria.

    CTCL complete and partial response are defined in The consensus Global Response Score assessment.

    Measured: From the first patient first visit to 8 months after the last patient first visit (up to 48 months)

  2. Complete Response Rate (CRR)

    The CRR is defined as the percentage of participants with a BOR (Best overall response) of CR divided by the number of treated participants.

    DLBCL, PTCL, PMBL \& MGZL (CR)

    1.Complete disappearance of all detectable clinical evidence of disease. 2.Bone marrow: No evidence of FDG- avid disease in marrow. CTCL (CR)

    1. 100% clearance of skin lesions.
    2. all lymph nodes ≤1.5 cm, N3 classification and ≤ 1.5 cm in their long axis and > 1 cm in their short axis at baseline, must be ≤ 1 cm in their short axis or biopsy negative for lymphoma.
    3. organs should not be enlarged on examination or imaging
    4. absence of blood involvement

    Measured: From first dose to the date of initial objectively documented progression or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurs first (up to 48 months)

  3. Duration of Complete Response

    The duration of CR will only be evaluated in participants with BOR of CR and is defined as the time from first documentation of CR to the date of relapse or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    DLBCL, PTCL, PMBL \& MGZL (CR)

    1.Complete disappearance of all detectable clinical evidence of disease. 2.Bone marrow: No evidence of FDG- avid disease in marrow. CTCL (CR)

    1. 100% clearance of skin lesions.
    2. all lymph nodes ≤1.5 cm, N3 classification and ≤ 1.5 cm in their long axis and > 1 cm in their short axis at baseline, must be ≤ 1 cm in their short axis or biopsy negative for lymphoma.
    3. organs should not be enlarged on examination or imaging
    4. absence of blood involvement

    Measured: From first dose to the date of relapse or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. (about 48 months)

  4. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from the date of first dose of study drug until the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (or relapse for participants who experience CR during the study) or death due to any cause, whichever comes first. Participants who are progression-free and alive or have unknown status will be censored at the last tumor assessment. Participants who did not have any onstudy tumor assessments and did not die will be censored on the date of first treatment. For participants who received subsequent therapy prior to documented progression, it will be censored on the last tumor assessment date prior to or on subsequent therapy.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (or relapse for participants who experience CR during the study) or death due to any cause, whichever comes first. (about 48 months)

  5. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from the date of first dose of study drug until the date of death (any reason). If the participant is alive or the vital status is unknown, the participant will be censored at the date the participant was last known to be alive.

    Measured: From the first patient first visit to 8 months after the last patient first visit (about 48 months)

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 7 Mar 2023). 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?

Safety Analysis - Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) in the DLT Evaluation Phase (time frame: From first dose of treatment to 6 weeks after first dose). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02581631, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 7 Mar 2023.
