March 31, 2014 updated by: Janssen-Cilag G.m.b.H

Pilot Study With Bortezomib in Combination With Rituximab Standard Therapy in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma and at Least 2 Previous Therapies

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy (effectiveness) and tolerability (how well a participant can stand a particular medicine or treatment; ability to be used) of bortezomib in combination with rituximab standard therapy (medicine or medical care given to a participant for a disease or condition) in participants with relapsed or refractory (not responding to treatment) follicular lymphoma (a cancer of the lymph nodes [or tissues] in follicle).

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

This is a prospective (study following participants forward in time), open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), multi-center (conducted in more than 1 center), non-randomized (study drug not assigned by chance), single-arm study in participants with relapsed or refractory cluster of differentiation 20 plus (CD-20+) follicular Grade 1 or 2 lymphoma Stage III or IV with at least 2 previous lines of therapy. The study will include 2 phases: a Screening phase and a Treatment phase. The Screening phase will be conducted 2 weeks before the Treatment phase. The Treatment phase will include 3 cycles. The duration of each cycle will be 5 weeks (35 days). After the second cycle, a response will be evaluated. In case of complete response (CR), participants will be followed-up for a period of 1 year. In case of progressive disease (PD), the participant will be excluded from the study, and in case of stable disease (SD) or partial response (PR), an additional cycle of 5 weeks will be applied and a follow-up of 1 year will be performed. In each cycle, participants will receive 1.6 milligram per meter square (mg per m^2) of bortezomib as intravenous (through a vein in the body) infusion (a fluid or a medicine delivered into a vein by way of a needle) on Days 1, 8, 15, 22 of Cycle 1, Days 36, 43, 50 and 57 of Cycle 2 and on Days 71, 78, 85 and 92 of Cycle 3 (if applicable). Cycle 3 will be applicable only in case of SD or PR according to remission criteria after Cycle 2. In Cycles 2 and (if applicable) 3, injection of bortezomib followed by administration of rituximab (in a dose of 375 mg per m^2) will be given as intravenous infusion. If neuropathy (a disturbance in the function of the brain or spinal cord that may affect the nerves and muscles of the body) grade of more than or equal to 2 will occur then a dose of bortezomib will be reduced from 1.6 mg per m^2 to 1.3 mg per m^2 and then to 1.0 mg per m^2. Participants will be analyzed for time to disease progression or relapse, disease free survival, overall survival and remission (when a medical problem gets better or goes away at least for a while) status. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout 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 to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Time to Progression or Relapse
Time Frame: Start of treatment (Day 1 of Cycle 1) up to Month 15
Time to disease progression is defined as the time from start of treatment to the time of first documentation of disease progression.
Start of treatment (Day 1 of Cycle 1) up to Month 15

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
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Bortezomib in Combination With Rituximab
Time Frame: Start of treatment (Day 1 of Cycle 1) up to Month 15
MTD is defined as the dose level combination below the dose level that produces a dose-limiting toxicity. If MTD is not reached, the recommended MTD is the maximum dose that the participants received. Tolerability of bortezomib in combination with rituximab standard therapy will be monitored.
Start of treatment (Day 1 of Cycle 1) up to Month 15
Number of Participants With Remission Status
Time Frame: Start of treatment (Day 1 of Cycle 1) up to Month 15
Participants with complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) separately for each category as well as participants with CR or PR (cumulative, i.e., either CR or PR) or participants with CR, PR or SD (cumulative, i.e., either CR or PR or SD) as best remission status will be reported.
Start of treatment (Day 1 of Cycle 1) up to Month 15
Disease-Free Survival
Time Frame: Start of treatment (Day 1 of Cycle 1) up to Month 15
Disease-free survival is the time until the date of documentation of first progressive disease (PD) or death.
Start of treatment (Day 1 of Cycle 1) up to Month 15
Overall Survival
Time Frame: Start of treatment (Day 1 of Cycle 1) up to Month 15
Overall survival is defined as the time from the start of treatment until death (whatever the cause). Participants still alive will be censored at the moment of last visit or contact.
Start of treatment (Day 1 of Cycle 1) up to Month 15
