Temsirolimus, Rituximab and DHAP for relapsed and refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

A phase II trial to evaluate the safety, feasibility and efficacy of a salvage therapy consisting of the mTOR inhibitor Temsirolimus (Torisel™) added to the standard therapy of Rituximab and DHAP for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large cell B-Cell lymphoma – the STORM trial - STORM

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The STORM-trial consists of two parts. In the part I (dose escalation of Temsirolimus) the primary objective is to establish a maximum tolerated dose of Temsirolimus in combination with Rituximab and DHAP. In the part II (full target dose) the primary objective is to evaluate the ORR in patients with relapsed DLBCL. ;Secondary Objective: The STORM-trial consists of two parts. In the part I (dose escalation of Temsirolimus) the secondary objective is to prove ability to mobilize stem cells in patients scheduled to high dose therapy. In the part II (full target dose) the secondary objective is to evaluate PFS, OS and Toxicity.;Primary end point(s): Part I (dose escalation of Temsirolimus): establish a maximum tolerated dose of Temsirolimus in combination with Rituximab and DHAP. part II (full target dose): ORR in patients with relapsed DLBCL. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Part I: 4 cohorts, 6 patients will be included in each dose level, administering up to a maximum of 4 cycles 25 mg, 50 mg, 75mg or 100mg Temsirolimus in combination with Rituximab and DHAP. Part II: Active treatment with Temsirolimus in combination with R-DHAP for 2 to 4 cycles will last approximately to a maximum of 12 weeks. Patients will be followed for disease progression and or death and initiation of subsequent therapy for DLBCL for at least 2 years (if no event occurs) up to a maximum of 5 years.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Part I: Stem cell mobilization Part II: PFS, OS and Toxicity;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Part I: Stem cell mobilization is recommended after the second treatment cycle with G-CSF starting on day 5. Part II: Active treatment with Temsirolimus in combination with R-DHAP for 2 to 4 cycles will last approximately to a maximum of 12 weeks. Patients will be followed for disease progression and or death and initiation of subsequent therapy for DLBCL for at least 2 years (if no event occurs) up to a maximum of 5 years.
