Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a phase II, multicenter study to determine the efficacy and safety of first-line lenalidomide plus rituximab therapy in patients with mantle cell lymphoma who have received no prior systemic therapy.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

Induction Phase (week 1 - 48):
  • Lenalidomide will be given at 20 mg/day for days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle for 12 cycles. If no excess toxicity is observed the dose will be increased to 25 mg/day.

  • Rituximab will be administered at 375 mg/m2 per dose for a total of 9 doses. The first 4 doses will be administered weekly starting on day 1 of lenalidomide (e.g. days 1, 8, 15 and 22). Subsequent rituximab doses will be administered for one dose each at weeks 12, 20, 28, 36 and 44.

Maintenance Phase (week 49 - progression of disease):
  • Lenalidomide will be given at 15 mg/day for days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle.

  • Rituximab at 375 mg/m2 per dose will be administered for one dose every 8 weeks, starting at week 52.

Response Assessment

  • Year 1-2: Conventional restaging CT scan (or MRI) with IV contrast every 3 months from cycle 1 day 1 of the study.

  • Year 3 onwards: Conventional restaging CT scan (or MRI) with IV contrast every 6 months until progression.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Response Rate [30 months]

      The primary endpoint of overall response rate will be estimated and a 95% confidence interval will be estimated via binomial proportions.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Progression-free Survival [10 years]

      PFS will be defined as the time from first treatment day until objective or symptomatic progression or death.

    2. Overall Survival [10 years]

      Overall survival will be defined as the time from first treatment day until death.

    3. Time to Next Treatment [10 years]

      Median amount of time (in months) from start of study treatment to next treatment

    4. Safety as Measured by Number of Subjects Who Experience an Adverse Event While on Study Treatment [10 years]

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

FCBP must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE SAME TIME, at least 28 days before she starts taking lenalidomide. FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a successful vasectomy.
