About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Brentuximab Vedotin in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Recurrent Systemic Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL)

This phase II clinical trial studies how well giving brentuximab vedotin together with pembrolizumab in treating patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) that has come back (recurrent). Monoclonal antibody-drug conjugates, such as brentuximab vedotin, can block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Pembrolizumab is an antibody-drug that stimulates body's natural antitumor immune responses. Giving brentuximab vedotin together with pembrolizumab may work better than brentuximab vedotin alone in treating patients with recurrent peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To assess the antineoplastic efficacy of brentuximab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab in previously treated patients with PTCL, as measured by the overall objective response rate (ORR).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the safety and tolerability of brentuximab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab.

II. To assess efficacy using duration of objective response (DOR), time to response (TTR), progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive brentuximab vedotin intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1, and pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 3 of cycle 1, day 1 of subsequent cycles. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 17 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 6 cycles of treatment, patients may discontinue treatment if they experience disease progression, are eligible for stem cell transplant, or if they elect to not undergo stem cell transplantation (SCT).

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up to 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall objective response rate (ORR)

    Defined as the proportion of evaluable patients who experience an objective response (complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) per Lugano Criteria.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (5)

  1. Incidence of adverse events

    Assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 5.0

    Measured: 30 days after end of treatment

  2. Duration of objective response (DOR)

    Will be summarized by a median and IQR. For DOR analysis, disease progression is defined as progressive disease (PD) per Lugano criteria, other documented clinical or radiographical progression per physician judgement, or death due to disease.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Time to response (TTR)

    Assessed per Lugano criteria. Will be summarized by a median and IQR for those who responded, and for all patients overall, using a Kaplan-Meier curve based on all evaluable patients.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  4. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Will be analyzed using Kaplan Meier curves. For PFS analysis, disease progression is defined as PD per Lugano criteria, other documented clinical or radiographical progression per physician judgement, or death due to disease.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  5. Overall survival

    Will be analyzed using Kaplan Meier curves. Descriptive statistics (e.g., mean, median, SD, IQR, min and max) will be used to summarize data for continuous variables, and numbers and corresponding percentages will be used to summarize data for discrete variables.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Brentuximab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab in people with Recurrent Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma and Recurrent Enteropathy-Associated T-Cell Lymphoma, run by Northwestern 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 27 inclusion and 29 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2023. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Overall objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: Up to 5 years). 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 NCT04795869.

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 Oct 2023.
