Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is for patients with lymphoproliferative malignancies that have progressed after receiving a previous treatment (relapsed) or are no longer responding to treatment (refractory). To be in this study, patients must have certain types of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), or B-cell lymphoma, including Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.

This study is being done to find doses of the combination of pralatrexate and gemcitabine with vitamin B12 and folic acid that can be safely given to patients with these types of lymphoma and explore the effectiveness of the treatment.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Objective Responses Assessed by International Workshop Criteria (IWC) [Assessed every 8 weeks (+/- 1 week) for Phase II and no less than every 3 cycles for Phase I]

      Number of participants who achieved an objective response. Objective response was defined as a tumor response assessment of either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) and was determined only for patients with measurable disease at baseline. A tumor response assessment reported by IWC without PET was used for any analyses in cases where an IWC+PET evaluation was not done.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Duration of Response [Response assessments were performed no less than every 3 cycles in the Phase 1 part of the study and every 8 weeks (± 1 week) in the Phase 2a part of the study]

      Duration of response was defined as the number of days between the date of first tumor response assessment of objective response to the time of the first tumor response assessment of progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause (date of first PD assessment or death - date of first objective response assessment + 1)

    2. Progression-free Survival (PFS) Time [Response assessments were performed no less than every 3 cycles in the Phase 1 part of the study and every 8 weeks (± 1 week) in the Phase 2a part of the study]

      PFS time was calculated as the number of days from study day 1 to the date of PD or death, regardless of cause (date of PD or death - study day 1 + 1).

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details Patients were enrolled between May 2007 and July 2010 across 16 study sites, all in the United States.
    Pre-assignment Detail 12 patients were enrolled but not treated. Of these, 9 patients had events after enrollment that rendered them ineligible; 2 patients had progressive disease (PD); 1 patient withdrew consent. Since they were never dosed, these 12 patients were not included in efficacy or safety assessments.
