Trial Outcomes & Findings for Trial of VELCADE and Rituxan as Front-line Tx for Low-grade NHL (NCT NCT00369707)

NCT ID: NCT00369707

Last Updated: 2019-09-06

Results Overview

The primary objective of this study is to assess the overall response rate. Overall response rate at this time point will be defined as complete response \[CR\] plus partial response \[PR\]) after 3 cycles of bortezomib/rituximab induction therapy for patients with previously untreated low-grade, B-cell NHL. Complete response requires complete disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and disappearance of all disease-related symptoms if present before therapy, and normalization of those biochemical abnormalities (e.g., lactate dehydrogenase \[LDH\]) definitely assignable to NHL. There must also be complete disappearance of lymphoma involvement in the bone marrow (if initially present). Partial response (PR) requires 50% decrease in SPD of the six largest dominant nodes or nodal masses and no increase in the size of the other nodes, liver, or spleen.

Participant Flow

The study opened for accrual on August 8, 2006 with an accrual goal of up to 43 patients. The study was designed to enroll 15 patients initially to do an interim efficacy assessment. Accrual was suspended on November 14 2007 for this analysis and reopened on December 20, 2007. The study was closed on August 10, 2012 after 42 patients were enrolled.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 2 months for up to 12 months then every 6 months for 2 years and annually for 1 year

Population: Data was not collected or analyzed for duration of response.

The duration of overall response is measured from the time measurement criteria are met for complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (whichever is first recorded)until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented. Complete response requires complete disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and disappearance of all disease-related symptoms if present before therapy, and normalization of those biochemical abnormalities (e.g., lactate dehydrogenase \[LDH\]) definitely assignable to NHL. There must also be complete disappearance of lymphoma involvement in the bone marrow (if initially present). Partial response (PR) requires 50% decrease in SPD of the six largest dominant nodes or nodal masses and no increase in the size of the other nodes, liver, or spleen. Progressive disease (PD) requires the appearance of any new lesion or increase by \> 50% in the size of previously involved sites.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 of each cycle and at the completion of cycles 1 and 3, during treatment up to 12 months

Assess the safety and tolerance of bortezomib/rituximab as induction and maintenance therapy. Data will be collected for grade 3 and grade 4 adverse events experienced by patients that are determined to be at least possibly related to at least one study drug. Toxicity data for bortezomib/rituximab will be collected on day 1 of every cycle (1 cycle = 35 days) for up to 7 cycles during treatment according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Toxicity Criteria for adverse events version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0). In general adverse events (AEs) will be graded according to the following: Grade 1 Mild AE Grade 2 Moderate AE Grade 3 Severe AE Grade 4 Life-threatening or disabling AE Grade 5 Death related to AE

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At the start of treatment and at Median follow up for all patients was 50 months (range 12-78 months) and on intent to treat, PFS and OS for all patients is reported at 4 years.

Correlation of tumor burden according to Groupe D'Etude des Lymphomes Follicularies (GELF) with recently developed Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI) prognostic index. All patients enrolled in the study were required to have high tumor burden (HTB) as defined by GELF, where HTB is defined as representing higher risk disease and poorer outcomes than low tumor burden (LTB). Patients were put into low risk or high risk FLIPI groups. Low risk group with a score of 0-2 and high risk group with a score of 3-5. A FLIPI score of 0 to 1 = "low risk" with a 10 year overall survival of 70%. A score of 2= "intermediate risk" with a 10 year overall survival of 50%. Finally, a score of ≥ 3 is considered "high risk" with a 10 year overall survival of 35%. Data was collected in connection with high or low risk FLIPI and Progression Free Survival (PFS) or Overall Survival (OS) and is reported as percentage patient with high/low risk that are progression free or alive.
