Lopinavir and Ritonavir in Improving Immune Response to Vaccines in Patients With Complete Remission Following A Bone Marrow Transplant for Hodgkin Lymphoma

November 28, 2022 updated by: Mayo Clinic

Lopinavir/Ritonavir as an Immunomodulator to Enhance Vaccine Responsiveness

RATIONALE: HIV protease inhibitors, including Lopinavir/Ritonavir have intrinsic anti-apoptotic properties in addition to their anti-viral effect on HIV. This anti-apoptotic effect may boost the immune system to help the body create a better immune response to vaccines. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial studies giving lopinavir and ritonavir together in improving immune response to vaccines in patients with complete remission following a bone marrow transplant for Hodgkin lymphoma.

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.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Compare TREC positive recent thymic emigrants, and naive CD4+ and CD8+ T cell numbers between treatment groups. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Compare post-vaccination anti-rabies antibody titers between treatment groups. II. Compare post-vaccination cytokine levels, including IL1, IL2, IL4, IL6, IL7, IL8, IL10, IL12, INFgamma, TNFalpha, between treatment groups. III. Compare post-vaccination anti-rabies ELISPOT reaction between treatment groups. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Arm I: Patients receive oral lopinavir and oral ritonavir twice daily for 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Arm II: Patients receive no therapy. All patients then receive a neo-antigen rabies vaccine.

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.
Interventional

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)
