Relapsed Follicular Lymphoma

Brief summary

This is a phase 2, two-arm, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the safety and efficacy of 2 VELCADE-containing regimens. Patients will be treated with either a combination of VELCADE, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (VELCADE-R-CAP) or a combination of VELCADE, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, and prednisone (VELCADE-R-CP) based on investigator preference. Following completion of the treatment period, patients will receive maintenance therapy with rituximab up to a maximum of 2 years.

Inclusion criteria

* Male or female patient 18 years of age or older * Pathological diagnosis of follicular lymphoma (any grade) or marginal zone lymphoma. Patients with transformed follicular lymphoma are eligible, provided there has previously been pathologic documentation of follicular lymphoma. * Documented relapse or progression following prior antineoplastic therapy * At least 1 measurable tumor mass that is greater than 1.5 cm in the long axis and greater than 1.0 cm in the short axis that has not been previously irradiated, or has grown since previous irradiation * No clinically significant evidence of active central nervous system lymphoma * Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ≥50 (equivalent to Eastern Cooperative Group Oncology Group \[ECOG\] status ≤2)

Exclusion criteria

* Diagnosed or treated for a malignancy other than Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) within 2 years of first dose, or who were previously diagnosed with a malignancy other than NHL and have any radiographic or biochemical marker evidence of malignancy. Patients with prostate cancer who were treated with definitive radiotherapy who have a serum prostate-specific antigen \<1 ng/mL are not excluded. Patients are not excluded if they have had basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that was completely resected, or any in situ malignancy that was adequately treated. * Received any of the following treatments or procedures outside of the specified timeframes: * Prior treatment with VELCADE * Prior treatment with a cumulative dose of doxorubicin of more than 100 mg/m2, if assigned to Arm A (VELCADE-R-CAP) * Antineoplastic (including unconjugated therapeutic antibodies and toxin immunoconjugates), experimental, or radiation therapy within 3 weeks before Day 1 of Cycle 1 * Nitrosoureas within 6 weeks before Day 1 of Cycle 1 * Radioimmunoconjugates within 10 weeks before Day 1 of Cycle 1 * Autologous stem cell transplant within 3 months before Day 1 of Cycle 1, or prior allogeneic stem cell transplant at any time * Major surgery within 2 weeks before Day 1 of Cycle 1

For a participant who had not progressed/relapsed or died, PFS was censored at the last response assessment that was stable disease (failure to attain complete response/partial response or PD or better).

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Patients With Complete Response (CR)

Disappearance of all evidence of disease assessed by computed tomography (CT) and PET (position-emission tomography) according to the revised International Working Group (IWG) Criteria.

Time frame: 30 weeks

Population: Response evaluable: measurable disease at baseline, completed first scheduled response evaluation, or do not complete first scheduled response evaluation due to progressive disease (PD) or death.

Secondary

Duration of Response

Time (in months) from the first documentation of a response (CR or partial response \[PR\]) to the date of first documentation of progressive disease or relapse from complete response. CR is defined as disappearance of all evidence of disease assessed by CT or PET; PR is defined as regression of measurable disease and no new sites assessed by CT or PET according to the revised International Working Group (IWG) Criteria.

Time frame: 2 years

Population: Responders: CR + PR (Not done for VELCADE R-CAP, only 5 responders)
