Trial Outcomes & Findings for Fenretinide and Rituximab in Treating Patients With B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NCT NCT00288067)

NCT ID: NCT00288067

Last Updated: 2014-10-06

Results Overview

A group of 3 patients would start treatment ast the dose of 900mg/m\^2 BID, and if none of the 3 experienced a DLT, another 3 would then be treated at that dose. Dose Limiting Toxicity was defined as any related toxicity of grade 4 or 5 on or before the completion of 4 weeks of therapy. Per response evaluation criteria 1999 Cheson Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma (CHESON99) for target lesions assessed by either CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR): Complete disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable disease; Complete Response Unconfirmed (CRU): Complete disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable disease, with the exception of all residual nodal masses \>1.5cm in Greatest Transverse Diameter (GTD) reduced by 75% in Sum of the Product of the greatest Diameters (SPD); Partial Response (PR): 50% decrease in the SPD.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Number of participants that experienced a dose-limiting toxicity

Population: 7 participants were analyzed in the Rituximab Naive arm and 16 participants were analyzed in the Rituximab Pre Treated Arm.

A group of 3 patients would start treatment ast the dose of 900mg/m\^2 BID, and if none of the 3 experienced a DLT, another 3 would then be treated at that dose. Dose Limiting Toxicity was defined as any related toxicity of grade 4 or 5 on or before the completion of 4 weeks of therapy.

Safety, in Terms of Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) of 2 Daily Doses of Single Agent Fenretinide (Phase I)
0 participants

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 7 years

Population: No subjects in Phase 1 met the DLT, therefore Phase II was conducted at 900mg/m2. Of the 32 subjects, 4 subjects were not evaluable for disease response (2 subjects in Phase 1 and 2 subjects in Phase 2).

The trial was stratified into rituximab-naïve and rituximab pre-treated patients, and the target response rates for these groups were expected to be 30% and 10%, respectively. The numbers reported below are subjects who achieved a response of partial response or better.
