Safety & Efficacy Study of AT-101 in Combination w/ Rituximab in Previously Untreated Grade I-II Follicular Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Information source: Ascenta Therapeutics
Information obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov on June 20, 2008
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Follicular Lymphoma

Intervention: AT-101 (Drug); Rituximab (Drug)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: Active, not recruiting

Sponsored by: Ascenta Therapeutics

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Lance Leopold, MD, Study Director, Affiliation: Ascenta Therapeutics, Inc.

Summary

This is a phase II clinical trial in patients who have not received systemic treatment for follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The study combines rituximab, an approved drug for this disease, with AT-101, an experimental drug. The hypothesis is that by adding AT-101 to the rituximab regimen, improvement to patients' response to the treatment will be observed verses rituximab alone.

Clinical Details

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicenter, Phase II Study of AT-101 in Combination With Rituximab in Patients With Untreated, Grade I-II, Follicular Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Study design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Assess the 8-week overall response rate of AT-101 in combination with rituximab.

Secondary outcome:

Assess the complete response rate, duration of response, and progression free survival of AT-101 in combination with rituximab.

Confirm the safety of AT-101 in combination with rituximab.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically confirmed, previously untreated Grade I-II follicular B-cell

non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (stage I, II, III and IV). Patients may have received radiation therapy to one lymph node region; Stage I or II patients must have relapsed after prior radiation therapy to be eligible;

- Patients with any FLIPI score may participate. Patients with FLIPI scores 3-5 may be

enrolled with asymptomatic disease, or without worsening disease or disease related-symptoms; however patients with FLIPI scores of 0-2 must have evidence of worsening disease;

- ECOG performance status 0-1;

- Measurable disease;

- Adequate hematological function as indicated by:

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1,000/µL; +Hemoglobin >8

g/dL (It is acceptable to transfuse PRBC to achieve this criterion);

- Platelet count >50 x 109/L.

- Adequate hepatic and renal function as indicated by:

- Serum creatinine ≤2. 0 mg/dL;

- Serum albumin ≥2. 5 g/dL;

- Total bilirubin ≤1. 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN);

- Serum AST and ALT ≤1. 5 x ULN.

- Able to swallow and retain oral medication

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who have severe lymphoma-related symptoms requiring a rapid response to

therapy (e. g., requirement for cytoreduction due to advanced disease or organ compromise, respiratory compromise because of large effusions or airway obstruction, bowel obstruction, ureteral obstruction, and chylous ascites);

- Active symptomatic fungal, bacterial and/or viral infection including, but not limited

to active HIV or viral hepatitis (A, B or C);

- History of hepatitis B infection;

- Any B-cell, T-cell or transformed lymphoma other than histologically confirmed

follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma;

- Central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, CNS or leptomeningeal involvement by lymphoma

(treated or in remission), HIV-related lymphoma, or patients with symptoms suggesting HIV infection;
