Study of Bortezomib (Velcade) in Combination With Dexamethasone to Treat Patients With Relapsed Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Phase 2
Terminated
- Conditions
- Hodgkin Disease
- Registration Number
- NCT00148018
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Cologne
- Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate wether bortezomib and dexamethasone are active in patients with relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Detailed Description
The proteasome-inhibitor bortezomib (Velcade) shows promising activity in various human lymphoma cell line. In addition, several studies in heavily pretreated patients with lymphoma showed also promising results.
