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

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Follicular B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Refractory
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02594163
Lead Sponsor
Seagen Inc.
Brief Summary

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).

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).

  12. Intolerable toxicity to prior rituximab therapy.
  13. Current therapy with other investigational agents.
  14. Lung disease unrelated to underlying malignancy.
  15. History of a stroke or transient ischemic attack, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or cardiac symptoms within 6 months prior to the first dose of treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Approximately 1 year

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

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free Survival (PFS)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.

Complete Remission (CR) RateApproximately 1 year

CRR is the proportion of patients who achieve CR (including Complete Metabolic Response (CMR)) as best response to combination therapy on study.

Duration of Response (DOR)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.

Overall Survival (OS)Up to 1.5 years

OS is defined as the time randomization to death from any cause

Number and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs)Approximately 1 year

All AEs are included in the summaries, unless treatment-emergent is specified.
