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 will be a single center, open-labeled, single arm, phase-II pilot study. The treatment and the response evaluation phase will last from the time of enrollment up to 21 months (evaluation will be carried out every 3 months in the first 9 months and every 6 months from Month 9 to Month 21). The maintenance and follow-up phase to assess for progression of disease will last from 21 months to 45 months after enrollment (evaluation will be carried out every 12 months). The total study duration will be 4 years after the last patient starts study medication.

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
Overall response
Time Frame: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.
Overall response is composed by biochemical, lymph node and symptom response, is the primary outcome of this study. According to the CDCN response criteria, an overall CR (complete response) requires a complete biochemical, lymph node, and symptomatic response; and overall PR (partial response) requires nothing less than a PR across all categories, but not meeting criteria for CR; an overall SD (stable disease) requires no PD (progression disease) in any of the categories and not meeting the criteria for CR or PR; an overall PD occurs when any category has a PD.
12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.

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
Time to initial response
Time Frame: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.
defined as the time to achieve the first PR or CR. This outcome can be further divided into time to initial overall response, time to initial symptomatic response, time to initial biochemical response, time to initial lymph node response
12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.
Time to best response
Time Frame: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.
defined as the time to achieve the best response (either PR or CR). This outcome can be further divided into time to best overall response, time to best symptomatic response, time to best biochemical response, time to best lymph node response;
12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.
defined as the time to disease PD
12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.
Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.

Change in PHQ-9 score
Time Frame: From Day 1 of the BCD treatment until 12 months after the treatment
PHQ-9 score (Patient Health Questionnaire scale-9) is a nine-item self-administered instrument to assess depressive symptoms which incorporates the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition) classification for major depressive disorder. Each item is scored 0 - 3, which results in a range of scores between 0 and 27. PHQ-9 scores are interpreted as follows: (1) score <5, no depression; (2) score 5 - 9, mild depression; (3) score 10 - 14, moderate depression; (4) score 15 - 19, moderately severe depression; and (5) score 20 - 27,severe depression.
From Day 1 of the BCD treatment until 12 months after the treatment
Change in hemoglobin level

hemoglobin with g/L as unit of measure
From baseline until 12 months after the treatment
Change in IL-6 (interleukin-6)
Time Frame: From baseline until 12 months after the treatment
IL-6 level with pg/ml as unit of measure
From baseline until 12 months after the treatment
Change in CRP
Time Frame: From baseline until 12 months after the treatment
CRP (c-reactive protein) level with mg/L as unit of measure
From baseline until 12 months after the treatment
Change in ESR
Time Frame: From baseline until 12 months after the treatment
ESR (eerythrocyte sedimentation rate) level with mm/h as unit of measure
From baseline until 12 months after the treatment
Change in IgG level
Time Frame: From baseline until 12 months after the treatment
IgG (immunoglobin G) level with g/L as unit of measure
From baseline until 12 months after the treatment
Change in MCD-related overall symptom score
Time Frame: From baseline until 12 months after the treatment
Change of MCD symptom scores. MCD symptom score (MCD disease related overall symptom score) is a 34-item score based on NCI-CTCAE (V4.0) adverse events. Each item is scored 0-5, which results in a range of scores between 0 and 170. More scores indicate more severe disease activity.
From baseline until 12 months after the treatment
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 ( ≥1 grade)
Time Frame: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (patients with grades ≥1 would be included)
