Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a Phase I/II multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of rituximab, bortezomib, and lenalidomide in the first-line or second-line treatment of patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The combination of lenalidomide with bortezomib has not been studied in patients with MCL, but feasibility and tolerability has been demonstrated in patients with multiple myeloma. Thus, almost every 2-drug combination of rituximab, lenalidomide, and bortezomib has been tested, or is being tested. We hypothesize that all three drugs are important in MCL, and therefore propose to combine all 3 agents (rituximab, bortezomib, and lenalidomide) in a schedule that is convenient to lymphoma patients.

Approximately 18 patients may be enrolled in the Phase I portion of the study. Approximately 45 patients are planned for enrollment in Phase II.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

rituximab/bortezomib/lenalidomide

Patients in Phase I \& II to receive treatment with rituximab, bortezomib and lenalidomide in 21-day cycles up to 6 cycles.

Phase I: Cohorts of 3 patients will be enrolled at escalating dose levels to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Doses may be de-escalated if necessary.

Phase II: patients will be treated with the MTD determined in Phase I.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. All study participants must be registered into the Mandatory Revlimid Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) Program, and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of the REMS program.
2. Histology: biopsy-proven mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
3. Prior therapy: both newly diagnosed patients and relapsed or refractory patients who have received one prior therapy are eligible. Patients who have previously received high-dose chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell support are eligible.
4. Presence of at least one lymph node evaluable or mass measurable for response.
5. Platelets ≥ 75,000/µL and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/µL within 14 days of study registration (unless the treating physician deems the neutropenia is related to bone marrow involvement, then an ANC of \> 750/mm3 is allowed).
6. Renal function assessed by calculated creatinine clearance between ≥ 30 ml/min and ˂60ml/min by the Cockcroft-Gault method within 14 days of study registration
7. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate transaminase (AST) (SGOT) and alanine transaminase (ALT) (SGOT) ≤ 3 x ULN
8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance of 0, 1, or 2.
9. Recovery from any previous treatment therapy.
10. Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must adhere to the scheduled pregnancy testing required in the Revlimid REMS® program, must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL within 10-14 days prior and again within 24 hours of starting lenalidomide for Cycle 1 (prescriptions must be filled within 7 days as required by Revlimid REMS Program) and must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin two acceptable methods of birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method at the same time, at least 28 days before she starts taking lenalidomide. FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a successful vasectomy.
11. All study participants must be registered into the mandatory Revlimid REMS® program, and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of Revlimid REMS® program.
12. Ability to understand and willingness to voluntarily sign a written informed consent document before performance of any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the subject at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patient has \>1.5 x ULN total bilirubin.
2. Peripheral neuropathy ≥ CTCAE grade 2.
3. Relapsed or refractory patients who have received more than one prior therapy.
4. Pregnant or breastfeeding females. (Lactating females must agree not to breastfeed while taking lenalidomide.)

14. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or chronic hepatitis A, B, or C. Patients who are HIV positive or who are positive for chronic hepatitis A, B, or C will be excluded due to increased risk for bone marrow suppression and other toxicities.
