Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
-
Determine the maximum tolerated dose and toxicity of gemcitabine, vinorelbine, and doxorubicin HCl liposome in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma.
-
Determine the complete and partial response rates of patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study.
Phase I:
- Patients receive vinorelbine IV over 6-10 minutes, gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes, and doxorubicin HCl liposome IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment continues every 21 days for 2-6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Patients who respond to treatment after 2 or more courses may stop protocol therapy to undergo peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of vinorelbine, gemcitabine, and doxorubicin HCl liposome until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, additional patients are accrued to receive treatment with gemcitabine, vinorelbine, and doxorubicin HCl liposome at the recommended phase II dose.
Phase II:
-
Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups.
-
Group 1: Patients who have not undergone prior transplantation receive vinorelbine, gemcitabine, and doxorubicin HCl liposome as in phase I.
-
Group 2: Patients who have undergone prior transplantation receive lower doses of vinorelbine, gemcitabine, and doxorubicin HCl liposome as in group 1.
Patients are followed every 6 months for 2 years and then annually for 6 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 3-100 patients (3-42 for phase I and 20-58 for phase II [29 per group]) will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
