Everolimus and Lenalidomide in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin Lymphoma

September 28, 2020 updated by: Mayo Clinic

A Phase I/II Clinical Trial of the mTor Inhibitor RAD001 (Everolimus) in Combination With Lenalidomide (Revlimid) for Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoid Malignancy

RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Giving everolimus together with lenalidomide may be an effective treatment for lymphoma.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving everolimus and lenalidomide together and to see how well they work in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin lymphoma.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I.Phase I: To establish the maximum tolerated dose of EVEROLIMUS and lenalidomide in subjects with relapsed/refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or Hodgkin Lymphoma.

II. Phase II: To assess tumor response to EVEROLIMUS and lenalidomide in subjects with relapsed/refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or Hodgkin Lymphoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate overall survival, progression-free survival, duration of response, and time to treatment failure of subjects receiving EVEROLIMUS and lenalidomide.

II. To describe the adverse event profile (using CTCAE CTEP Version 4.0) of EVEROLIMUS and lenalidomide.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral everolimus once daily and oral lenalidomide once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Patients Reporting Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) (Phase I)
Time Frame: After one 28 day cycle
The number of dose-limiting toxic events (DLT) for this combination of drug treatment will determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) in subsequent phases of this study. The following events were defined as a DLT: a grade 4+ Neutropenia or platelet count decrease, a grade 4 infection, or any grade 3+ non-hematologic event as assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) CTEP Version 4.0. Here, the number of patients reporting a DLT are reported
After one 28 day cycle
Best Response to Dose Level 0
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
Patients were assessed using the Cheson et al. Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma (Cheson, et al 2007). A Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all evidence of disease, no palpable nodules and bone marrow cleared on biopsy. A Partial Response (PR) was defined as regression of measureable disease and no new sites, with a 50% decrease in sum of the products of dimension (SPD) of nodal masses, and no increase in spleen or liver size. Patients with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia were eligible to be evaluated as a Minor Response (MR) in which a reduction between 25% and 50% of serum monoclonal IgM was observed. A Progression (PD) was defined as having any new lesions or a 50% increase in the SPD of any previously involved nodes. A Stable Disease (SD) is the absence of any of the previously defined responses.
Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure

Survival time is defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause. The distribution of survival time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.
Up to 5 years
Progression-Free Survival For All Eligible Patients

Duration of Response for All Eligible Patients
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
Duration of response is defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved an objective response as the date at which the patient's earliest objective status is first noted to be either a CR or PR to the earliest date progression is documented.
Up to 5 years
Time to Treatment Failure for All Eligible Patients
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
Time to treatment failure is defined to be the time from registration to the date at which the patient is removed from treatment due to progression, adverse events, or refusal. The distribution of time to treatment failure will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.
Up to 5 years
