Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well giving rituximab and dexamethasone together works in treating patients with low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving rituximab together with dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate clinical response rate (RR) at 3 and 6 months. II. To estimate Grade 2-4 -infusion-related toxicity.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate laboratory parameters and correlate with clinical response including: antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity and effector cell phenotype analysis at baseline, 4 weeks and three months.

II. To evaluate laboratory parameters and correlate with clinical response including: soluble cluster of differentiation (CD)20 fragments or CD20-containing membrane fragments at baseline, 4 weeks, and 3 months.

III. To evaluate laboratory parameters and correlate with clinical response including: phenotype analysis of CD16 and CD32 on natural killer (NK) cells.

IV. To evaluate laboratory parameters and correlate with clinical response including: rituximab pharmacokinetic studies at baseline, 4 weeks and 3 months.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive dexamethasone intravenously (IV) and rituximab IV once weekly. Treatment continues for 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 and 6 months.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Clinical RR Response rates will be assessed separately among previously treated or refractory patients and those previously untreated. Baseline, and at 3 and 6 months after completion of treatment No
Primary Rate of Grade II-IV and Grade III-IV infusion-related toxicity The following symptoms will be specifically sought after and reported as events following each infusion: allergic reaction, arrhythmia, hyper-or hypotension, fever, rigors, chills, urticaria, nausea, vomiting, headache, and infection. Symptoms will be graded based on National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 3.0. Weekly during treatment Yes
Secondary Progression-free survival At 3 and 6 months No
