Obatoclax and Bortezomib in Treating Patients With Aggressive Relapsed or Recurrent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

December 3, 2015 updated by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Phase I Study of GX15-070 (NSC # 729280) and Bortezomib in Aggressive Relapsed/Recurrent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Obatoclax may stop the growth of non-Hodgkin lymphoma by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Bortezomib and obatoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving obatoclax together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of obatoclax when given together with bortezomib and to see how well they work in treating patients with aggressive relapsed or recurrent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To establish the maximum tolerated dose of obatoclax mesylate when administered with bortezomib in patients with aggressive relapsed or recurrent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

II. To describe the toxicities of this regimen at each dose studied in these patients.

III. To characterize the pharmacokinetic behavior of this regimen in these patients.

IV. To obtain preliminary information regarding the effect of obatoclax mesylate on several apoptotic regulatory pathways.

V. To document all clinical responses in these patients to this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

PHASE I: Patients receive obatoclax mesylate IV over 3 hours followed by bortezomib IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22.

Treatment repeats every 35 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Pharmacokinetic evaluations of obatoclax mesylate are conducted in all patients during the first course.

PHASE II: Patients receive obatoclax mesylate IV over 3 hours followed by bortezomib IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 at the maximum tolerated dose determined in phase I.

Treatment repeats every 35 days for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 26 weeks.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum tolerated dose of obatoclax mesylate when administered with bortezomib
Time Frame: 35 days
Defined as the highest dose tested in which fewer than 33% of patients experienced DLT attributable to the study drug(s), when at least six patients were treated at that dose and are evaluable for toxicity. Graded according to the NCI CTCAE, Version 3.0.
35 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Toxicity as assessed by NCI CTCAE version 3.0
Time Frame: Up to 26 weeks after completion of study treatment
Summarized in terms of type (organ affected or laboratory determination such as absolute neutrophil count), severity and nadir or maximum values for the laboratory measures, time of onset (i.e. course number), duration, and reversibility or outcome. Tables will be created to summarize these toxicities and side effects by dose and by course.
