Alvocidib, Fludarabine Phosphate, and Rituximab in Treating Patients With Lymphoproliferative Disorders or Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects, best way to give, and the best dose of alvocidib when given together with fludarabine phosphate and rituximab in treating patients with previously untreated or relapsed lymphoproliferative disorders or mantle cell lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as alvocidib and fludarabine use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
-
To determine a safe and tolerated dose of flavopiridol (alvocidib) in combination with standard dose rituximab and fludarabine (fludarabine phosphate) in patients with indolent B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders and mantle cell lymphoma.
-
To assess the toxicity of the combination regimen of flavopiridol, rituximab and fludarabine in patients with indolent B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders and mantle cell lymphoma.
-
To determine the safety, toxicity and efficacy of administering flavopiridol as a 30-minute bolus followed by 4-hour infusion, in combination with rituximab and fludarabine in patients with indolent B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders and mantle cell lymphoma.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
-
To determine pharmacokinetics of the combination regimen of flavopiridol, rituximab and fludarabine in patients with indolent B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders and mantle cell lymphoma.
-
To determine pharmacodynamics of the combination regimen of flavopiridol, rituximab and fludarabine in patients with indolent B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders and mantle cell lymphoma.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of alvocidib.
Patients receive fludarabine phosphate intravenously (IV) over 15-30 minutes on days 1-5 and rituximab IV over 3-4 hours on day 1. Alvocidib is administered IV over 60 minutes on day 1 in cohort 1; on days 1 and 2 in cohort 2; and on days 1, 2, and 3 in cohort 3. In cohorts 4 and 5, patients receive fludarabine phosphate and rituximab as above and alvocidib IV over 30 minutes and then IV over 4 hours on day 1 of courses 2-6. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 37 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) defined as that dose level beneath the dose at which 2 or more of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity (DLT) [Day 28]
- DLT defined as any grade 3-4 non-hematologic toxicity that does not resolve or decrease to grade 1-2 within 2 weeks, or any grade 4 hematologic toxicity that causes more than a 1 week delay in administration of therapy [Day 28]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Toxicity as determined by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) 2.0 criteria [Up to 6 years]
- Pharmacokinetic data [Up to 6 years]
- Pharmacodynamic data [Up to 6 years]
