Study of Rituximab and Bendamustine With or Without Brentuximab Vedotin for CD30 Positive Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

September 13, 2018 updated by: Seagen Inc.

A Randomized, Open Label, Phase 2 Study of Rituximab and Bendamustine With or Without Brentuximab Vedotin for Relapsed or Refractory CD30-Positive Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter, Phase 2 clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brentuximab vedotin in combination with rituximab and bendamustine for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory CD30-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after failure of second-line salvage therapy or as second-line treatment in patients ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 manner to receive rituximab plus bendamustine with or without brentuximab vedotin. Patients who respond to combination treatment containing brentuximab vedotin and do not experience excessive toxicity may receive additional single-agent brentuximab vedotin following combination treatment, for up to an additional 10 cycles (up to 16 total cycles of treatment).

ORR is defined as the percentage of patients who achieve a Complete Response (CR) (including Complete Metabolic Response (CMR)) or Partial Response (PR) (including Partial Metabolic Response (PMR)) as best response to combination therapy on study
Approximately 1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Up to 11.8 months
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to disease progression/relapse, receipt of subsequent lymphoma chemotherapy other than the components of the study treatment regimen, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Up to 11.8 months
Complete Remission (CR) Rate
Time Frame: Approximately 1 year
CRR is the proportion of patients who achieve CR (including Complete Metabolic Response (CMR)) as best response to combination therapy on study.
Approximately 1 year
Duration of Response (DOR)
Time Frame: Up to 10.5 months
DOR is defined as the time from first observation of response to disease progression/relapse, receipt of subsequent lymphoma chemotherapy other than the components of the study treatment regimen, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Up to 10.5 months
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to 1.5 years
OS is defined as the time randomization to death from any cause
Up to 1.5 years
Number and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Approximately 1 year
All AEs are included in the summaries, unless treatment-emergent is specified.
Approximately 1 year
