Bendamustine-based Combination Therapy for PCNSL

PCNSL Clinical Trial

Official title: Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Pharmacokinetics of Bendamustine as a Component of Salvage Therapy for Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL)

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot study will i) evaluate the efficacy and the safety of bendamustine-based combination chemotherapy and ii) investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK)of bendamustine in plasma and CSF when given as salvage treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).

Clinical Trial Description

A relatively high proportion of patients diagnosed with primary CNS lymphoma will experience recurrent disease, yet therapy options are limited in salvage therapy. Based on the demonstrated activity and proposed additive mechanisms of the chemotherapeutic agents included in the bendamustine-based combination regimen, the efficacy and safety of R-B(O)AD will be evaluated for treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) primary CNS lymphoma. Evidence from previous preclinical tissue distribution studies and single agent intravenous drug therapy trials in CNS malignancies suggests that bendamustine penetrates brain and tumor tissue, however there are no clinical data available on the PK of bendamustine in the CSF. This study will evaluate the PK of plasma and CSF drug levels through a population based nonlinear mixed-effects model approach in a R/R PCNSL cohort with the goals to define the currently unknown PK profile of bendamustine in the CSF and to further characterize the relationship between plasma and CSF drug levels, and the influence of exposure on response to therapy. ;
