Everolimus in Treating Older Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma Previously Treated With First-Line or Second-Line Chemotherapy

December 13, 2012 updated by: Technical University of Munich

Phase II Trial on Efficacy of mTOR Inhibitor RAD001 as Maintenance Therapy for Patients Above 60 Years in Mantle Cell Lymphoma After First and Second Line Chemotherapy

RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well everolimus works in treating older patients with mantle cell lymphoma who received previous first-line or second-line chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the progression-free survival of older patients with mantle cell lymphoma receiving everolimus and who were previously treated with first- or second-line chemotherapy.

Secondary

  • Determine the toxicity and feasibility of treatment with this drug.
  • Determine the efficacy of this drug in these patients.
  • Compare the duration of remission after first- vs second-line chemotherapy.
  • Determine the rate of objective remission.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral everolimus once daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically for 3 years.
