A Phase II Study of VELCADE (Bortezomib) in Combination With Bendamustine and Rituximab in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma (VERTICAL)

January 11, 2012 updated by: Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
This is a phase 2, single-arm, open label, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the combination of VELCADE, bendamustine, and rituximab in subjects with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma, who have received 4 or more doses of rituximab. Subjects may be sensitive or refractory to prior therapies, including rituximab.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. 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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female subject 18 years of age or older
  • Pathological diagnosis of follicular lymphoma (any grade)
  • Documented relapse or progression following prior antineoplastic therapy
  • Have received 4 or more prior doses of rituximab
  • At least 1 measurable tumor mass (>1.5 cm in the long axis and >1.0 cm in the short axis that has not been previously irradiated, or has grown since previous irradiation
  • No clinically significant central nervous system lymphoma
  • Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ≥50 (equivalent to Eastern Cooperative Group Oncology Group [ECOG] status ≤2

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosed or treated for a malignancy other than non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) within 2 years of first dose, or who were previously diagnosed with a malignancy other than NHL and have any radiographic or biochemical marker evidence of malignancy. Subjects with prostate cancer who were treated with definitive radiotherapy and have a serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) <1 ng/mL are not excluded. Subjects are also not excluded if they have had basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that was completely resected, or any in situ malignancy that was adequately treated.
  • Prior treatment with VELCADE® or bendamustine
  • Antineoplastic (including unconjugated therapeutic antibodies and toxin immunoconjugates), experimental, or radiation therapy within 3 weeks before Day 1 of Cycle 1
  • Nitrosoureas within 6 weeks before Day 1 of Cycle 1
  • Radioimmunoconjugates within 10 weeks before Day 1 of Cycle 1
  • Autologous stem cell transplant within 3 months before Day 1 of Cycle 1, or prior allogeneic stem cell transplant at any time
  • Major surgery within 2 weeks before Day 1 of Cycle 1
  • Platelet transfusion within 7 days of Day 1 of Cycle 1 (applies to subjects enrolled in the dose escalation phase only. This does not apply to subjects enrolled in phase 2 of the study).
  • Ongoing therapy with corticosteroids. Prednisone ≤15 mg per day or its equivalent is allowed.

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
Number of Participants With Complete Response
Time Frame: 12 weeks after the last subject completes their end of treatment visit.
Response is assessed by investigator according to International Working Group (IWG) criteria. Complete response requires disappearance of all evidence of disease.
12 weeks after the last subject completes their end of treatment visit.

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
Number of Participants With Overall Response (Complete and Partial Response)
Time Frame: 12 weeks after the last subject completes their end of treatment visit
Response is assessed by investigator according to International Working Group (IWG) criteria. Complete response requires disappearance of all evidence of disease. Partial response requires regression of measurable disease and no new sites.
12 weeks after the last subject completes their end of treatment visit

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
