Conditions

Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is determine the optimal dose and schedule of Fusilev to prevent or reduce Mucositis in patients with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma receiving Folotyn treatment.

Detailed description

This is an open label, uncontrolled, nonrandomized, multicenter, dose finding, Phase 1 study primarily to determine the optimal dose and schedule of Fusilev to prevent or reduce Folotyn-related Grade 3 or higher oral Mucositis.

Interventions

Fusilev will be administered by IV push (3-5 minutes) at a dose of 5 mg/m2. Fusilev administration, QID or BID will start 24 ± 3 hours after Folotyn administration depending on the dose cohort.

A cycle of Folotyn treatment is 7 weeks, 6 weeks of treatment followed by 1 week of rest.

Inclusion criteria

* At least 18 years of age * Patients with relapsed or refractory NHL who are eligible for Folotyn treatment. Patient has histologically/cytologically confirmed, measurable (lesion or node ≥ 2 cm by computed tomography \[CT\] * Progressive disease or persistent disease after at least 1 prior treatment * ECOG performance status ≤ 2 * Adequate hematological, hepatic, and renal function

Exclusion criteria

* Active concurrent malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix) * Congestive heart failure * Uncontrolled hypertension * Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive diagnosis * Active uncontrolled infection, underlying medical condition, or other serious illness that would impair the ability of the patient to receive protocol treatment * Major surgery within 14 days of enrollment * Pregnant or breast-feeding women * Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases or lesions for which treatment is required.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Optimal dose and schedule of Fusilev to prevent or reduce mucositisUp to 8 weeksThe patient will be seen in the clinic for an oral mucositis assessment at baseline. During the 6 weeks of Folotyn treatment, oral mucositis assessment will be performed weekly prior to each Folotyn dose and again on Day 4 (prior to the Fusilev dose when applicable) by a qualified health care professional. Patients will complete an Oral Mucositis Daily Questionnaire (OMQD) starting at Day 1 of Week 1 and ending at the End of Treatment Visit.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Impact of Fusilev on Folotyn related Oral Mucositis7 weeksTo determine the impact of Fusilev on the number of Folotyn-related dose modifications secondary to oral mucositis To determine the impact of Fusilev on the frequency of Folotyn-related oral mucositis To determine the impact of Fusilev on the number of Folotyn doses delivered
Relationship between Fusilev use and oral mucositis7 weeksTo determine the relationship between Fusilev use and oral mucositis as a function of the pretreatment homocysteine (HCY) and methylmalonic acid (MMA) levels

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Response Rate (ORR)Up to 24 monthsTo determine overall response rate (ORR) of Folotyn in relapsed or refractory Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma other than PTCL
