Overview
Brief Summary
This Phase Ib/II, open-label, multicenter trial is designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of dulanermin when combined with rituximab in subjects with follicular, CD20+, B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) that has progressed following a response of ≥ 6 months duration to a prior rituximab-containing therapy. The multicenter, international, randomized Phase II part of this study will commence only after the safety and available pharmacokinetic data from the Phase Ib part of the study have been evaluated by the Sponsor and have been provided to participating investigators and the FDA.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Phase Ib: Number of Participants With a Dose-limiting Toxicity
Time Frame: The DLT assessment window was defined as the duration required to complete two full cycles of treatment with dulanermin (2 * 21 days) and four doses of rituximab (usually through Day 28).
A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as a National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v3.0 Grade ≥ 3 hematologic or major organ toxicity that was related to study drug (i.e., dulanermin). Although a patient may have experienced a DLT at any time during the study, only events that occurred within the DLT assessment window were considered for dose-escalation decisions and determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events by Severity Grade
Time Frame: From Baseline through Study Termination (up to a maximum of approximately 13 months for phase Ib and up to approximately 33 months for phase II)
Safety was assessed through summaries of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs); AEs were graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 3.0, according to the following guidelines: Grade 1 (Mild); Grade 2 (Moderate); Grade 3 (Severe); Grade 4 (Life-threatening or disabling) and Grade 5 (Death related to AE).
Phase II: Objective Response as Assessed by the Independent Review Facility (IRF)
Time Frame: From Baseline through Study Termination (up to approximately 33 months)
Objective response was defined as a confirmed or unconfirmed complete response (CR, CRu) or partial response (PR) assessed on the basis of clinical, radiographic (computed tomography (CT) scans of the neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis and inguinal region), and pathologic (i.e., bone marrow) criteria and according to the modified International Working Group (IWG) criteria. All radiographic and clinical data for the evaluation of objective response were submitted to an IRF for blinded and impartial assessment. Patients without a post-baseline tumor assessment were considered non-responders.
Vital Signs: Change From Baseline in Diastolic and Systolic Blood Pressure at Treatment Termination Visit
Time Frame: Baseline and Treatment Termination visit (8 weeks for Rituximab arm and 12 weeks for combination and Dulanermin arms)
Blood pressure was measured at baseline and throughout the study. Change from baseline was calculated using the patient's last recorded measurement at the completion of treatment visit - baseline measurement.
Vital Signs: Change From Baseline in Heart Rate at Treatment Termination Visit
Time Frame: Baseline and Treatment Termination visit (8 weeks for Rituximab arm and 12 weeks for combination and Dulanermin arms)
Heart rate was measured at baseline and throughout the study. Change from baseline was calculated using the patient's last recorded measurement at the completion of treatment visit - baseline measurement.
Vital Signs: Change From Baseline in Body Temperature at Treatment Termination Visit
Time Frame: Baseline and Treatment Termination visit (8 weeks for Rituximab arm and 12 weeks for combination and Dulanermin arms)
Body temperature was measured at baseline and throughout the study. Change from baseline was calculated using the patients last recorded measurement at the completion of treatment visit - baseline measurement.
Number of Participants With a Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormality
Time Frame: Baseline and Treatment Termination visit (8 weeks for Rituximab arm and 12 weeks for combination and Dulanermin arms).
Laboratory Parameters were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE). A clinically significant abnormality was defined as a Grade 3 (severe) or Grade 4 (very severe, life threatening, or disabling) laboratory toxicity according to the NCI CTCAE v3.0.
Mean Serum Concentration of Dulanermin
Time Frame: Blood samples were taken 0.5, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 24 hours after the start of the infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1.
The dulanermin serum concentration was measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
