Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well bortezomib and vorinostat work in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) after patients' own stem cell (autologous) transplant. Bortezomib and vorinostat in the laboratory may stop the growth of lymphoma cells and make them more likely to die by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving bortezomib together with vorinostat after an autologous stem cell transplant may thus kill lymphoma cells that remain after transplant.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess toxicities of combining vorinostat and bortezomib as maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) for NHL.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Ability to complete planned therapy.

II. Time to disease progression, event-free survival.

III. Overall survival.

OUTLINE:

All patients receive carmustine intravenously (IV) over 3 hours on day -7; cytarabine IV twice daily (BID) over 3 hours and etoposide IV BID over 2 hours on days -6 to -3; and melphalan IV over 30 minutes on day -2. Only patients with history of cluster of differentiation (CD)20+ NHL receive additional rituximab IV on days -19 and -12. Patients undergo ASCT on day 0. Patients then receive bortezomib IV on days 2 and 8, and vorinostat orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-14. Treatment with bortezomib and vorinostat repeats for total of 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for at least 2 years.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Toxicity of Vorinostat Bortezomib Maintenance Therapy After Autologous Transplant	Number of patients on maintenance therapy post-transplant who experienced grade 3 or higher toxicity per NCI-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 3. The first three months of bortezomib and vorinostat therapy will be used as the time period to evaluate toxicity for stopping rules of the study. Toxicity that meets stopping rules will be determined based on the number of patients that are withdrawn from study for significant toxicity (grade IV, non-hematological, non-metabolic, non-peripheral neuropathy).	3 months after start of maintenance therapy
Secondary	Median Time to Disease Progression	median days from transplant to relapse/progression	time post ASCT to progression
Secondary	Ability to Complete Planned 12 Cycles of Maintenance Therapy	Number of patients who completed all 12 cycles of maintenance therapy.	Approximately 12 months following start of maintenance therapy
Secondary	Overall Survival	Number of patients alive who received maintenance therapy	6.64 Years Post-Transplant
Secondary	Event-free Survival	Number of patients alive without disease progression/relapse	6.64 Years Post-Transplant
