A Phase I-II Trial of Brentuximab Vedotin Plus Rituximab as Frontline Therapy for Patients With CD30+ and/or EBV+ Lymphomas
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety of brentuximab vedotin and rituximab in patients with lymphoid
malignancies that are cluster of differentiation (CD) 30 positive (+) and/or Epstein-Barr
virus (EBV)+, and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination.
(Phase I) II. To evaluate the efficacy, as measured by response rates, of brentuximab
vedotin and rituximab in patients with lymphoid malignancies that are CD30+ and/or EBV+.
(Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To further evaluate the frequency and severity of toxicity. (Phase II) II. To further
evaluate the clinical efficacy of the combination of brentuximab vedotin and rituximab, as
measured by progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) at one year after the
end of treatment. (Phase II) III. To determine the effects of the combination of brentuximab
vedotin and rituximab on markers of EBV activation and proliferation. (Phase II) IV. Further
evaluate efficacy as measured by time to cytotoxic chemotherapy. (Phase II) V. Further
evaluate efficacy as measured by observed rates of graft rejection. (Phase II)
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine whether and to what extent CD30 expression predicts for response and
outcome.
II. To determine whether and to what extent expression of EBV markers predicts for response
and outcome.
III. To determine whether changes in serum levels of EBV correlate with response and
subsequent loss of response to therapy.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of brentuximab vedotin followed by a phase
II study.
INDUCTION: Patients receive brentuximab vedotin intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes once
weekly for 3 weeks and rituximab IV once weekly for 4 weeks. Patients unable to achieve
complete remission (CR) may receive additional optional consolidation therapy identical to
induction therapy.
MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients receive brentuximab vedotin IV once every 3 weeks and
rituximab IV once every 6 weeks. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 1 year in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year, and
then every 6 months for 2 years.
Interventional
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
For Phase I: Determine the Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) of brentuximab vedotin and rituximab in combination
The DLT of brentuximab vedotin and rituximab in combination will be assessed at baseline and each week during the first 21 days (1 cycle=21 days).
