Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well giving vorinostat, cladribine, and rituximab together works in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), or B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) that has returned after a period of improvement. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cladribine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving vorinostat together with cladribine and rituximab may kill more cancer cells.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. Determine objective response rates of the SCR regimen (vorinostat, cladribine, and rituximab) in B-cell malignancies.

  2. Determine the tolerability and toxicities of the SCR regimen.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. Evaluate progression free survival in patients treated with SCR. II. Estimate event free survival for patients treated with SCR. III. Determine the contribution (if any) of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation/histone deacetylation to disease progression and/or response to SCR combination chemotherapy.

  2. Perform scientific correlates to determine if SCR treatment a) is associated with global and gene specific changes in transcription of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)s and micro ribonucleic acid (MiRNA)s b) is acting as an inhibitor of DNA methylation c) is activating or silencing specific genes or miRNAs.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive vorinostat orally (PO) on days 1-14, cladribine intravenously (IV) over 2 hours on days 1-5, and rituximab IV on day 3 (weekly for the first course). Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years and then every 6 months thereafter.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Objective Response Rate [2 years]

      ORR defined as the percentage of patients who achieved a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR). Assessed per the revised Cheson criteria. Response definitions per revised International Working Group Response Criteria. 95% confidence interval will be provided. Definitions: Complete response (CR) = disappearance of all evidence of disease; Partial response (PR) = regression of measurable disease and no new sites.

    2. Toxicities as Assessed Using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0 [6 months]

      Toxicity is determined percentage of patients that experienced an adverse event (AE) grade 3 or higher during the time frame, assessed using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Grade refers to the severity of the AE increasing from Grade 1 to 5. Generally, Grade 1 = Mild; Grade 2 = Moderate; Grade 3 = Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 = Life-threatening consequences; Grade 5 = Death related to AE.

    3. Tolerability of Treatment [6 months]

      Tolerability is determined to be the percentage of patients who completed the full duration of treatment (all 6 cycles) regardless of adverse event status. % tolerability shows the rate of patients that tolerated the treatment for the full duration.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Progression-free Survival [Up to 5 years]

      Time from treatment start until disease progression or death. Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. A logrank test will be used to compare progression-free survival between Group I and Group II. A p-value less that 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.

    2. Event-free Survival [Up to 5 years]

      Time from treatment start until disease progression, death, or discontinuation of treatment for adverse event (toxicity) Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. A logrank test will be used to compare progression-free survival between Group I and Group II. A p-value less that 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.

    3. Contribution (if Any) of DNA Methylation/Histone Deacetylation [Up to 2 years]

      Determine the contribution (if any) of DNA methylation/histone deacetylation to disease progression and/or response to SCR combination chemotherapy. Outcome not evaluated due to technical challenges collecting the data, and lack of budget and personnel to complete the analysis.

    4. Scientific Correlates [Baseline]

      Perform scientific correlates to determine if SCR treatment a) is associated with global and gene specific changes in transcription of mRNAs and MiRNAs b) is acting as an inhibitor of DNA methylation c) is activating or silencing specific genes or miRNAs. Outcome not evaluated due to technical challenges collecting the data, and lack of budget and personnel to complete the analysis.

    6. Secondary Outcome
    Title Contribution (if Any) of DNA Methylation/Histone Deacetylation
    Description Determine the contribution (if any) of DNA methylation/histone deacetylation to disease progression and/or response to SCR combination chemotherapy. Outcome not evaluated due to technical challenges collecting the data, and lack of budget and personnel to complete the analysis.
    Time Frame Up to 2 years

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Data not collected and the outcome will never be analyzed.
    Arm/Group Title Previously Untreated Relapsed
    Arm/Group Description Patients enrolled with untreated, newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) [Group I]. Patients receive 400 mg vorinostat PO on days 1-14, 5 mg/m^2 cladribine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, and 375 mg/m^2 rituximab IV on day 3 (weekly for the first course). Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with relapsed disease including indolent Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (NHL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) [Group II]. Patients receive 400 mg vorinostat PO on days 1-14, 5 mg/m^2 cladribine IV over 2 hours on days 1-5, and 375 mg/m^2 rituximab IV on day 3 (weekly for the first course). Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

    7. Secondary Outcome
    Title Scientific Correlates
    Description Perform scientific correlates to determine if SCR treatment a) is associated with global and gene specific changes in transcription of mRNAs and MiRNAs b) is acting as an inhibitor of DNA methylation c) is activating or silencing specific genes or miRNAs. Outcome not evaluated due to technical challenges collecting the data, and lack of budget and personnel to complete the analysis.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Up to 25 weeks (6 cycles X 28 days + 1 week after last cycle. Toxicities and adverse experiences will be assessed at each visit using the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0. Adverse events evaluated and recorded using the NCI CTCAE, Version 4.0 for 1 week after last cycle.
    Adverse Event Reporting Description For reporting purposes here, Grade 4 will be considered to be serious adverse event (SAE). Events assessed at each visit during the study (every other week for Cycle 1, then monthly for Cycles 2 to 6)
