Condition(s) targeted: Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma; Relapsed Lymphoma; Refractory Lymphoma; Low-Grade Lymphoma; Intermediate-Grade Lymphoma
Intervention: gallium nitrate (Drug)
Phase: Phase 2
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: Genta Incorporated
Summary
Eligible patients will have low- or intermediate-grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) that has
progressed after standard chemotherapy. Patients will receive gallium nitrate 300 mg/m2/day
by continuous IV infusion for 7 consecutive days using a portable infusion pump.
Hospitalization is not required. Stable or responding patients will receive additional
gallium nitrate infusions every 3 weeks until the time of disease progression, for a maximum
total of 8 infusions, or 2 cycles after complete remission has been documented.
Clinical Details
Official title: A Phase II Multicenter Study of Gallium Nitrate in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Study design: Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Detailed description:
This study seeks to define the role of gallium nitrate in a specific population of patients
who are expected to have received prior therapy. Preliminary clinical studies have
suggested substantial evidence of antitumor activity in patients with relapsed or refractory
non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma treated with gallium nitrate.
