| Main Objective: The first phase (Phase 1) of the study is to find the maximum safe dose (maximum Tolerated Dose) of thiotepa which is safe to give in combination with ifosphamide, etoposide and rituximab in patients with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL). The second phase (Phase 2) is to look at how effective the combinastion of drugs are in treating (PCNSL). We will assess this by determining the Overall response rate (Complete Response (CR) + Complete Response: unconfirmed (CRu) + Partial Response (PR)) after 2 cycles of TIER treatment, as assessed by the ‘International Workshop to Standardise Baseline Evaluation and Response Criteria for Primary CNS Lymphoma'. ;Secondary Objective: To determine: The Toxicity of the TIER treatment using common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 4 The Complete response rate after 2 cycles of TIER The 2 year progression free survival (PFS) The 2 year event free survival (EFS) The 2 year overall survival (OS) The proportion of patients proceeding to high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplant (HDT-ASCT) The rate of successful stem cell harvest for patients proceeding to transplant Exploratory Outcome Measures Analysing the MRI scans to look for MRI-based prognostic and response parameters Analysing the Pathobiological features of relapsed/refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma cases ;Primary end point(s): Phase I Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of thiotepa in combination with ifosphamide, etoposide and rituximab (TIER) Phase II Overall response rate (Complete Response (CR) + Complete Response: unconfirmed (CRu) + Partial Response (PR)) after 2 cycles of TIER treatment, as assessed by the International Workshop to Standardise Baseline Evaluation and Response Criteria for Primary CNS Lymphoma ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The phase I outcome will be measured after the required number of patients have completed 1 cycle of TIER treatment as per the 3+3 des | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Toxicity of TIER using common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 4 • Complete response rate after 2 cycles of TIER • 2 year progression free survival (PFS) • 2 year event free survival (EFS) • 2 year overall survival (OS) • Rate of successful stem cell harvest • Proportion of patients proceeding to high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplant (HDT-ASCT) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Analysis will be predominantly descriptive, with p-values given where appropriate for information only •The number and proportion of patients experiencing toxicity, will be reported with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) •The number of patients achieving complete response as assessed by the International Workshop to Standardise Baseline Evaluation and Response Criteria for PCNSL after 2 cycles of TIER will be reported as a proportion of the total number of patients registered •Time to event outcomes will be assessed using the method of Kaplan and Meier with point estimates presented at 6, 12 and 24 months with 95% CIs and median survival time •The rate of successful stem cell harvest and proportion of patients proceeding to HDT-ASCT will be reported with 95% CIs | — |
