Salvage Therapy With High Dose Oral Clarithromycin in Relapsed or Refractory Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma (HD-K)

August 10, 2022 updated by: Andres J. M. Ferreri

Phase II Clinical Trial on the Activity of Salvage Therapy With High Dose Oral Clarithromycin in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma

This is a prospective, phase II study on the activity and tolerability of high dose (2 g/day) oral clarithromycin for the treatment of relapsed or refractory extranodal marginal zone lymphoma.

Detailed Description

A 6-month regimen of oral clarithromycin has been associated with a 35% ORR in patients with relapsed/refractory marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. Responses were more common among patients with conjunctival lymphoma. This could be explained at least in part by the elimination of clarithromycin by tears, suggesting that a higher tumor bioavailability of this antibiotic could result in a higher activity. Thus, a higher dose of clarithromycin could be associated with a higher tumor bioavailability in tissues other than the conjunctiva.
