Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of lenalidomide and ipilimumab after stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic or lymphoid malignancies. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide with ipilimumab may be a better treatment for hematologic or lymphoid malignancies.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To assess the safety of lenalidomide in combination with ipilimumab in autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. Overall response rate. II. Overall survival, progression-free survival. III. Cumulative incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with the competing risk of relapse in allogeneic transplant patients.
OUTLINE:

Patients receive lenalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 of courses 1, 3, 5 and 7. Beginning 1-3 days after the last dose of lenalidomide patients receive one dose of ipilimumab intravenously (IV) over 90 minutes of courses 2, 4, 6 and 8. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Treatment (lenalidomide and ipilimumab)

Patients receive lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21 of courses 1, 3, 5 and 7. Beginning 1-3 days after the last dose of lenalidomide patients receive one dose of ipilimumab IV over 90 minutes of courses 2, 4, 6 and 8. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Toxicity rate [Up to 30 days following the last dose of study drugs]

      Graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria. The toxicity rate will be estimated in each arm along with a corresponding 95% credible interval. Toxicity will also be summarized by arm, type, and grade.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Response rate [112 days]

      The response rate at the end of four cycles will be estimated with a 95% confidence interval.

    2. Overall response rate [Up to 36 months]

      The overall response rate will be estimated with a 95% confidence interval.

    3. Overall survival [Up to 36 months]

      Kaplan-Meier survival curves will be used to estimate overall survival. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis will be used to model the association between overall survival and disease and demographic covariates of interest, including data from the correlative cytokine, immune, and pharmacokinetic studies.

    4. Progression-free survival [Up to 36 months]

      Kaplan-Meier survival curves will be used to estimate progression-free survival. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis will be used to model the association between overall survival and disease and demographic covariates of interest, including data from the correlative cytokine, immune, and pharmacokinetic studies.

    5. Cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease [Up to 30 days following the last dose of study drugs]

      The method of Gooley et al will be used to estimate the cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease with the competing risk of relapse in allogeneic transplant patients.

    6. Cumulative incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease [Up to 36 months]

      The method of Gooley et al will be used to estimate the cumulative incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease with the competing risk of relapse in allogeneic transplant patients.

    7. Incidence of other organ toxicity [Up to 36 months]

      Graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria.

    8. Incidence of secondary immune-based disease [Up to 36 months]

      Secondary immune-based diseases include arthritis, lupus, and thyroid dysfunction.
