Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies how well obinutuzumab works as maintenance treatment in patients with central nervous system lymphoma who have achieved the disappearance of all signs of cancer in response to treatment (complete response) or a decrease in the size of a tumor, or in the extent of cancer in the body, in response to treatment (partial response). Immunotherapy with obinutuzumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: Cognitive Assessment
  • Biological: Obinutuzumab
  • Other: Quality-of-Life Assessment
Phase 2

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
  1. To determine the effect of maintenance obinutuzumab on duration of response (partial response [PR] or complete response [CR]) in patients with CD20+ B-cell primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) who attain PR or CR to first-line treatment with high-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To evaluate overall survival after PR or CR (overall survival [OS]-PRCR). II. To evaluate neurocognitive function, quality of life, and neuroimaging as indicators of neurotoxicity.

  2. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) will be calculated.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I (MAINTENANCE THERAPY): Patients receive obinutuzumab intravenously (IV) on days 1 and 2 for the first cycle, and on day 1 for the subsequent cycles. Cycles repeat every 60 days for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II (OBSERVATION): Patients undergo observation for a total of 2 years.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) duration [From the date of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after completion of first-line treatment which confirms PR or CR, to disease progression or death, assessed up to 2 years]

      PR or CR duration will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier product limit estimates and compared between patients with maintenance versus without obinutuzumab maintenance using the log-rank test. In addition, the Cox proportional hazard model will be used to estimate hazard ratios.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall survival (OS) after CR [From the date of brain MRI after completion of first-line treatment which confirms PR or CR, to death, assessed up to 2 years]

      OS after PR or CR will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier product limit estimates and compared between patients with maintenance versus without obinutuzumab maintenance using the log-rank test. In addition, the Cox proportional hazard model will be used to estimate hazard ratios.

    2. Neurocognitive function [Up to 2 years]

      Will be measured by the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised, and Grooved Pegboard Test. Longitudinal data of neurocognitive function will be analyzed using a linear mixed model and toxicity indicators will be assessed using a chi-square or exact test.

    3. Quality of life (QOL) [Up to 2 years]

      Will be measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-30 and Brain Cancer Module-20. Longitudinal data of QOL will be analyzed using a linear mixed model and toxicity indicators will be assessed using a chi-square or exact test.

    4. Progression free survival (PFS) [From the start date of first-line primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) treatment to disease progression or death, assessed up to 2 years]

      PFS will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier product limit estimates and compared between patients with obinutuzumab maintenance versus without maintenance using the log-rank test. Longitudinal data of neurocognitive function and QOL will be analyzed using a linear mixed model and toxicity indicators will be assessed using a chi-square or exact test.

    5. Overall survival [From the start date of first-line PCNSL treatment to death, assessed up to 2 years]

      OS will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier product limit estimates and compared between patients with obinutuzumab maintenance versus without maintenance using the log-rank test. Longitudinal data of neurocognitive function and QOL will be analyzed using a linear mixed model and toxicity indicators will be assessed using a chi-square or exact test.

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    18 Years and Older
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    All
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    Inclusion Criteria:
    • CD20+ B-cell primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) confirmed at the time of diagnosis by histology, cytology, or immunocytochemistry from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF); diagnosis must be documented by pathology report

    • Must have undergone first-line treatment with a high-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy regimen with or without brain radiotherapy; high-dose methotrexate is defined as >= 3 grams/m^2; methotrexate dose reduction for creatinine clearance < 100 ml/min is permitted

    • Must be within 75 days of completion of first-line treatment regimen; must have achieved objective response (PR or CR/unconfirmed complete response [CRu]) to first-line treatment

    • Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) documenting objective response must be obtained within 30 days of study enrollment

    • If CSF was positive for lymphoma cells at diagnosis or during first-line treatment and/or a slit lamp examination was positive at diagnosis or during first-line treatment, then the CSF and vitreal studies must have been repeated and must have indicated CR; Note: CR requires complete disappearance of all enhancing abnormalities on gadolinium-enhanced MRI; if CSF was positive for lymphoma cells at diagnosis or during first-line treatment and/or slit lamp examination was positive at diagnosis or during first-line treatment, then the CSF and vitreal studies must have been repeated and must have indicated CR; for CRu, some patients will have a small but persistent enhancing abnormality on MRI related to biopsy or focal hemorrhage; it is often difficult to ascertain whether this represents a residual nidus of tumor or scar tissue; if the abnormality does not change or slowly involutes without therapy and corticosteroids, it is reasonable to categorize as a CRu; at the time CR/CRu is determined, the patient should not have used corticosteroids for at least two weeks
