Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects new combinations of treatment will have this disease. New promising treatment strategies will be added to this study as they are available to be compared against the standard treatment.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Lymphoma	Drug: Ibrutinib Drug: Rituximab Drug: Gemcitabine Drug: Dexamethasone Drug: Cisplatin Drug: Mesna Drug: Cyclophosphamide Drug: Etoposide Drug: G-CSF Drug: Selinexor	Phase 2

Detailed Description

This research is being done to try to find new combinations of treatment that may be better for treating patients with this disease. It is not clear however if these treatments can offer better results than standard treatment.

The study uses a "pick the winner" design to facilitate efficient screening of novel combination treatment regimens and select those meeting pre-specified criteria for testing in the phase III setting. All novel treatment options will be compared against the standard treatment for this disease: rituximab plus gemcitabine, dexemthasone, and cisplatin (R-GDP).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure overall response rate [2 years]
To determine the overall response rate (complete and partial response) to novel combination therapy in patients with relapsed and refractory aggressive B cell lymphoma

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number and severity of adverse events [2 years]
To evaluate the tolerability and toxicity of novel combinations. Adverse events will be monitored on an ongoing basis by the central office and their frequencies reported annually at investigators' meetings. Safety and tolerability will be reviewed in the first six patients assigned to ibrutinib plus R-GDP as part of a safety run-in. Ibrutinib dose will be reduced for subjects subsequently enrolled if necessary
Transplantation rate [2 years]
A non-inferiority analysis of transplantation rate will be conducted with 10% non-inferiority margin. The one-sided 80% asymptotic confidence limit of the difference in transplantation rate will be calculated between treatment and control arms.
Stem cell collection rate [2 years]
Stem cell collection rate defined as collection of ≥ 2 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg.
Event free Survival Rate [2 years]
• Event free survival (EFS) at one year defined as time from study entry to any treatment failure including disease progression, or discontinuation of treatment for any reason
Overall Survival [2 years]

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:

16 Years to 65 Years

Sexes Eligible for Study:

All

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients with histologic diagnosis for one of the following histologies according to the World Health Organization: documented at initial diagnosis or at relapse:
Diffuse large cell lymphoma, B-cell (includes primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, T-cell rich B-cell lymphoma);
Previous indolent lymphoma (follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, including extranodal MALT lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma) with transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma at most recent relapse (biopsy proof of transformation is mandatory);
Unclassifiable B-cell lymphoma with indeterminate features between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma.
Biopsy proof of disease at initial diagnosis is mandatory. A repeat biopsy in primary refractory disease is preferred but not mandatory to confirm progressive disease. A biopsy at relapse is preferred but not mandatory. Participating centres must designate a local reference expert pathologist who will confirm the diagnosis for the patients enrolled at that centre.
Patients must be CD20+ in order to be eligible for the study.

Prior FDG-PET scan, if done at baseline, must be positive (known FDG-avid lymphoma)
Patients with de novo aggressive B-cell lymphoma must have relapsed or progressed, or have refractory disease, after 1 prior line of therapy (R-CHOP chemotherapy or equivalent). Patients with histological transformation from low grade lymphoma may have had up to 3 prior treatment regimens. Patients with transformed low grade lymphoma treated with a non-anthracycline regimen may be enrolled at investigator discretion.
Patient age is ≥16 years. Patients older than 65 years of age are not recommended for this study.
ECOG performance status of 0, 1 or 2.
Patient must be considered fit for intensive chemotherapy and ASCT, and an appropriate candidate to receive second-line salvage chemotherapy and ASCT.

Women of child bearing potential and men who are sexually active must be practicing a highly effective method of birth control during and after the study consistent with local regulations regarding the use of birth control methods for subjects participating in clinical trials. Men must agree to not donate sperm during and after the study. These restrictions apply for 12 months (1 year) after the last dose of study drug.

Women of childbearing potential must have a pregnancy test taken (either by serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [B-hCG]) or urine) and proven negative within 14 days prior to randomization. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are ineligible for this study.

Patient consent must be appropriately obtained in accordance with applicable local and regulatory requirements. Each patient must sign a consent form prior to enrollment in the trial to document their willingness to participate.

Patients must be accessible for treatment and follow up. Patients randomized on this trial must be treated and followed at the participating centre. This implies there must be reasonable geographical limits (for example: 1 ½ hour's driving distance) placed on patients being considered for this trial. Investigators must assure themselves the patients randomized on this trial will be available for complete documentation of the treatment, response assessment, adverse events, and follow-up.

In accordance with CCTG policy, protocol treatment is to begin within 5 working days of patient randomization.

Exclusion Criteria:
