Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to assess the overall response rate of LBH589 in patients with relapsed or refractory Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia. LBH589 is a newly discovered compound that has killed Waldenstrom cells in laboratory studies, however, it is not known if LBH589 will show the same activity in people with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia. This drug has been used in research for the treatment of other types of cancer, such as multiple myeloma.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This phase II study is designed to assess the toxicity profile and the proportion of overall response in patients with relapsed or refractory WM. This will study the effect of single agent LBH589 on response in these patients. Efficacy measures will include both objective clinical measurements and investigator-reported outcomes. Response and time to event analyses will follow the criteria set forth in the International Waldenstrom consortium recommendations. Prior to the start of the study, investigators will assess disease and perform a CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis.

Response will be assessed after 2 cycles. If patients have stable disease or response, then they will continue on therapy until progression or unacceptable toxicity, being assessed every cycle until the sixth cycle and then every 3 months. Patients who show progression after 2 cycles will come off therapy and undergo event monitoring every 3 months. All responses will be assessed by M-protein quantification and immunofixation from serum and IgM monoclonal protein level. In addition, BM biopsies will be done at baseline, at the end of cycle 6 and at the end of all therapy. The protocol was amended because of concerns of toxicity to allow a starting dose of 25 mg; 12/36 (33%) patients were enrolled on the 25 mg dose.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: LBH589

30 mg three days a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays). 1 cycle was 28 days Dose modifications for attributable toxicities allowed for reduction to: 25 mg, 20 mg three times a week every week Or 20 mg three times a week every other week. No dose re-escalation was allowed. The protocol was amended on 6/15/2010 because of concerns of toxicity to allow a starting dose of 25 mg; 12/36 (33%) patients were enrolled on the 25 mg dose.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Response Rate [Assessed after 2nd cycle and then every subsequent cycle for 6 cycles. The median number of completed cycles of therapy was 5 (0- 32). As such observed up to ~32 months.]

      Overall response rate is percentage of participants with complete (CR), very good partial (VGPR), partial (PR), or minimal response (MR) as best response during treatment. CR Disappearance of monoclonal protein by immunofixation No histologic evidence of bone marrow involvement Resolution of any adenopathy/organomegaly (confirmed by CT scan), or signs or symptoms attributable to WM. Second immunofixation required for confirmation. VGPR -At least 90% reduction of serum monoclonal IgM concentration on protein electrophoresis. PR At least 50% reduction of serum monoclonal IgM concentration on protein electrophoresis and at least 50% decrease in adenopathy/organomegaly on physical examination or on CT scan. No new symptoms or signs of active disease. MR At least 25% but less than 50% reduction of serum monoclonal IgM by protein electrophoresis. No new symptoms or signs of active disease.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Median Progression Free Survival [Assessed after 2nd cycle and then every subsequent cycle for 6 cycles and then every 3 months. If taken off treatment at cycle 2 for disease progression, assessed every 3 months. The median (range) follow up from treatment start is 7.7 month (0.9 - 29.7).]

      Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from start of treatment to disease progression or death from any cause as estimated by Kaplan Meier methods. Patients who have not progressed and are alive are censored at the date the patient is known to be progression-free.

    2. Median Time to Progression [Assessed after 2nd cycle and then every subsequent cycle for 6 cycles and then every 3 months. If taken off treatment at cycle 2 for disease progression, assessed every 3 months. The median (range) follow up from treatment start is 7.7 month (0.9 - 29.7).]

      Time to progression (TTP) is defined as the time from start of treatment to progression. Patients who have not progressed are censored at the date the patient is last known to be progression free.

    3. Median Duration of Response [Assessed after 2nd cycle and then every subsequent cycle for 6 cycles and then every 3 months. If taken off treatment at cycle 2 for disease progression, assessed every 3 months. The median (range) follow up from treatment start is 7.7 month (0.9 - 29.7).]

      Duration of response DR is defined as the time from the date of first response after treatment to the date of disease progression Patients who have died for any cause or are alive without progression are censored at the date the patient is last know to be progression-free. Duration of response DR is defined as the time from the date of first response after treatment to the date of disease progression or death for any cause. Patients who are alive without progression are censored at the date the patient is last know to be progression-free.

    4. Number of Participants With Grade 3 and 4 Treatment-Related Thrombocytopenia [Assessed after 2nd cycle, every subsequent cycle for 6 cycles and then every 3 months. Once off-treatment, adverse events will be assessed for 30 days. The median (range) number of completed cycles of therapy was 5 (0- 32). Therefore, up to ~33 months.]

      Grade 3 thrombocytopenia is defined as having 25,000-50,000 /uL platelets Grade 4 thrombocytopenia is defined as having < 25,000 /uL platelets

    5. Acetylated Histone H3 and Overall Response Association [Bone marrow biopsies were obtained at the start of treatment (baseline) and after the 6th cycle.]

      Acetylated-histone-H3 levels were obtained through bone marrow biopsies and measured using established methods. This analysis aimed to analyze the association between overall response and percent change of acetylated histone h3 in samples using a paired t-test.

    Adverse Event Reporting Description Serious AEs (SAE) were defined as events with treatment-attribution of possibly, probably or definitely and grade 3 or higher. All remaining AEs are classified as Other AEs (OAE) including grade 3 or higher events with treatment-attribution of unlikely and unrelated plus all grade 1 and 2 events. Maximum grade toxicity by type was then calculated within SAE and OAE datasets. No further data is available to specify classification of other beyond the general term.
