Brief summary

Primary • Determine the efficacy of pralatrexate with concurrent vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation when administered to patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) Secondary * Determine the safety of pralatrexate with concurrent vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation when administered to patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL * Determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of pralatrexate when administered with vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation

Detailed description

This is a Phase 2, single arm, non-randomized, open-label, multi-center study designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of pralatrexate when administered with vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation to patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL. Pralatrexate will be given over 3-5 minutes intravenously (IV), which means through a vein. If pralatrexate is tolerated well, the patient will receive IV injections of pralatrexate every week for 6 weeks, followed by 1 week without receiving pralatrexate. These 7 week cycles will be repeated depending on response and tolerability.

Interventions

Pralatrexate 30 mg/m2 via IV push over 3-5 minutes for 6 weeks in a 7 week cycle.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Patients were enrolled between 24 August 2006 and 14 April 2008 across 25 study sites, 15 sites in the United States (US), 8 in Europe, and 2 in Canada.

Pre-assignment details

Outcome results

Primary

Response Rate Per Independent Central Review

Patient response to treatment was determined by independent central review using International Workshop Criteria (IWC). Results present the best overall response. The initial response assessment was scheduled at week 7 (prior to Cycle 2) and then prior to every even-numbered cycle (every 14 weeks) for up to two years after first dose.

Time frame: Response was assessed at 7 weeks (prior to Cycle 2) and then prior to every other even-numbered cycle (every 14 weeks) until disease progression or death for up to 2 years after initial dose

Population: Analysis was per protocol and was based on number of patients (pts) who responded in the evaluable population. The evaluable population consisted of all pts who received at least one dose of pralatrexate and had an eligible peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) histopathological subtype confirmed by central pathology review.

Population: Analysis was per protocol. Based on the number of responding pts (n=32) in the evaluable population (n=109), as assessed by independent central review protocol.

Patients (pts) with subsequent therapy prior to PD were censored at date of last response assessment prior to subsequent therapy.

Pts who withdrew consent to participate in the study prior to PD were censored at the date of their last disease assessment or treatment day 1.

Time frame: Calculated as the number of days from treatment day 1 to the date of disease progression or death, regardless of cause for up to 2 years after initial dose

Population: Analysis was per protocol, based on the number of patients (pts) who had an event of progressive disease (PD) or death. Pts who did not have an event at the time of data cut-off were censored. Pts were censored for lack of PD, receipt of other anti-cancer therapy before PD, termination of study/follow-up for response, and transplant.
