Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Randomized Phase II Trial of Maintenance vs Consolidation Bortezomib Therapy Following Aggressive Chemo-Immunotherapy and Autologous Stem Cell Transplant for Previously Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma |
Actual Study Start Date : | June 2006 |
Actual Primary Completion Date : | December 2013 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm A maintenance therapy
Patients receive bortezomib 1.6 mg/m^2 IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 once daily for 4 weeks. There will be a 4 week rest period. One cycle is a total of 8 weeks. A total of 10 cycles of bortezomib will be given in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Drug: bortezomib
Given IV |
Experimental: Arm B consolidation therapy
Patients receive bortezomib 1.3 mg/m^2 IV on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 once daily for 3 weeks. One cycle is a total of 3 weeks. A total of 4 cycles of bortezomib will be given in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

- Progression-free Survival Rate at 18 Months [ Time Frame: At 18 months ]Progression free survival (PFS) rate at 18 months was defined as the proportion of patients that were alive and progression-free 18 months after registration into the study. The Kaplan-Meier method of 18 month progression-free survival was calculated..
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]Overall Survival (OS) was measured from the date of study entry to date of death due to any cause. The median OS with 95% CI was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
- Number of Participants With Complete Response Intensive Chemo-immunotherapy Plus Maintenance or Consolidation Bortezomib [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]
Complete response is:
- Complete disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of target lesions and disappearance of all disease-related symptoms if present prior to therapy and normalization of biochemical abnormalities definitely assignable to NHL
- All lymph nodes and nodal masses must have regressed to normal size (<= 1.5 cm in the greatest transverse diameter (GTD) for nodes > 1.5 cm prior to therapy) or <= 1 cm for nodes that were 1.1-1.5 cm in the GTD prior to therapy or by more than 75% in the sum of the products of the GTD
- The spleen, if enlarged before therapy, must have regressed in size and must not be palpable on physical examination. Any macroscopic nodules in any organs detectable on imaging studies should no longer be present. Other organs enlarged prior to therapy due to involvement of lymphoma must have decreased in size
- If bone marrow was involved by lymphoma prior to treatment, infiltrate must be cleared on repeat bone marrow aspirate
- Number of Participants With Grade 3, 4 or 5 Adverse Event at Least Possibly Related to Treatment. [ Time Frame: Duration of treatment (up to approximately 2 years) ]The National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 3. Grade 1: Mild; Grade 2: Moderate; Grade 3: Severe; Grade 4: Life Threatening; Grade 5: Death.

Documentation of Disease
A. Histologic Documentation:
-
Histologically documented mantle cell lymphoma with co-expression of CD20 (or CD19) and CD5 and lack of CD23 expression by immunophenotyping AND at least one of the following confirmatory tests:
- positive immunostaining for cyclin D1; OR
- the presence of t(11;14) on cytogenetic analysis; OR
- molecular evidence of bcl-1/IgH rearrangement.
- Cases that are CD5-negative and/or CD23-positive will be eligible provided that the histopathology is consistent with mantle cell lymphoma AND positive for cyclin D1, t(11;14), or bcl-1/IgH rearrangement.A tissue block should be submitted to the CALGB Pathology Coordinating Office for central pathology review.
- A diagnosis based on peripheral blood or bone marrow is allowed. If the diagnosis is based only on blood, in addition to the immunophenotype and molecular confirmation above, a peripheral blood smear must be available for central pathology review. If the diagnosis is based on a bone marrow biopsy, the tissue block should be submitted.
- Note: Failure to submit pathology materials within 60 days of patient registration will be considered a major protocol violation.
B. Extent of Disease:
- Stage I-IV. Patients with nodular histology mantle cell lymphoma must have Ann Arbor stage III or IV disease to be eligible. Patients with mantle zone histology will not be eligible because of their relatively favorable prognosis. Patients with other mantle cell histologies are eligible regardless of stage.
- No active CNS disease defined as symptomatic meningeal lymphoma or known CNS parenchymal lymphoma. A lumbar puncture demonstrating mantle cell lymphoma at the time of registration to this study is not an exclusion for study enrollment.
-
-
Prior Treatment:
A. Patients must be previously untreated or have received no more than one prior cycle of chemotherapy and/or rituximab treatment.
B. No prior radiation therapy for mantle cell lymphoma.
C. ≥ 2 weeks since major surgery.
D. ≥ 3 weeks since prior chemotherapy.
- Age Eligibility: Age ≥ 18 years and < 70 years
- Murine Products Hypersensitivity Eligibility: No known hypersensitivity to murine products.
- Use of Systemic Corticosteroids Eligibility: No medical condition requiring chronic use of systemic corticosteroids.
- Eligibility Criteria on HIV Infection: No HIV infection. Patients with a history of intravenous drug abuse or any behavior associated with an increased risk of HIV infection should be tested for exposure to the HIV virus. Patients who test positive or who are known to be infected are not eligible due to an increased risk of infection with this regimen. An HIV test is not required for entry on this protocol, but is required if the patient is perceived to be at risk.
- Non-pregnant and non-nursing: Non-pregnant and non-nursing. Treatment under this protocol would expose an unborn child to significant risks. Women and men of reproductive potential should agree to use an effective means of birth control.
-
HepBSAg or HepC Ab Eligibility: Patients who test positive for HepBSAg or HepC Ab are eligible provided all of the following criteria are met:
A. bilirubin ≤ 2 x upper limit of normal; AND
B. AST ≤ 3 x upper limit of normal; AND
C. liver biopsy demonstrates ≤ grade 2 fibrosis and no cirrhosis.
Hepatitis B surface Ag(+) patients will be treated with lamivudine (3TC) throughout protocol therapy and for 6-12 months thereafter.
- Secondary Malignancy Eligibility: Patients with a "currently active" second malignancy, other than non-melanoma skin cancers are not eligible. This includes Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, since such patents have experienced transient increases in IgM following initiation of rituximab, with the potential for hyperviscosity syndrome requiring plasmapheresis. Patients are not considered to have a "currently active" malignancy if they have completed anti-cancer therapy, and are considered by their physician to be at less than 30% risk of relapse.
-
Initial Required Laboratory Values:
- LVEF by MUGA or ECHO ≥ 45%
- Creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL
- Total Bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL (Unless attributable to Gilbert's Disease)
- u-HCG or serum HCG Negative (If patient of childbearing potential).
