Clinical Trial Summary

Nowadays there is no randomized trials for comparison the effectiveness and tolerability of different conditioning regimens.

Bendamustine is a unique chemotherapeutic agent that combines alkylating action of nitrogen mustard and the activity of purine antimetabolite. Bendamustine has shown its effectiveness for the treatment of patients with chronic lymphoproliferative diseases such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia and several indolent lymphomas. The literature also presents evidence of the effectiveness bendamustine in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma who received multiple lines of prior chemotherapy, including high dose chemotherapy and transplantation of peripheral hematopoietic stem cells. There are also data of using bendamustine as a part of conditioning regimen.

In this context, it was planned a study for evaluation the safety and effectiveness of the BeEAC (bendamustine, etoposide, cytarabine, cyclophosphamide) conditioning regimen prior to autologous transplantation of peripheral hematopoietic stem cells for the treatment of relapsed/refractory malignant lymphomas.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events The primary safety analysis will be based on subjects who experienced toxicities as defined by CTCAE criteria. Safety will be assessed by quantifying the toxicities and grades experienced by subjects who have received BeEAC including serious adverse events (SAEs).
Adverse experiences will be graded and recorded throughout the study and during the follow-up period according to NCI CTCAE 4.03. Toxicities will be characterized in terms regarding seriousness, causality, toxicity grading and action taking with regard to trial treatment (Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events).
From admission till discharge from the hospital (approximately 30 days)
Secondary Overall Survival 2 years
Secondary Progression-Free Survival 2 years
Secondary Retrospective Comparison of Overall Survival between Carmustine, Etoposide, Cytarabine, Melphalan (BEAM), Cyclophosphamide, Carmustine, Etoposide(CBV) and BeEAC conditioning regimens The analysis will be based on comparison of overall survival between different conditioning regimens 2 years
Secondary Retrospective Comparison of Progression-Free Survival between Carmustine, Etoposide, Cytarabine, Melphalan (BEAM), Cyclophosphamide, Carmustine, Etoposide(CBV) and BeEAC conditioning regimens The analysis will be based on comparison of Progression-Free survival between different conditioning regimens 2 years
