Trial Outcomes & Findings for Aza-SAHA-GBM With AutoSCT for Refractory Lymphoma (NCT NCT01983969)

NCT ID: NCT01983969

Last Updated: 2020-01-27

Results Overview

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of azacitidine based on DLT was defined as any Grade 4 nonhematologic and noninfectious toxicity or any grade 3 mucositis or skin toxicity lasting \> 3 days at peak severity. For dose finding, the continunal reassessment method was used with a target DLT probability per cohort of 25%. Azacitidine doses were chosen adaptively for sucessive cohorts with a minimum size of 2 patients. Toxicity scoring followed the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria, version 3.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Enrollment up to 100 days post transplant.

EFS is defined as the time from transplantation to either relapse, second tumors, or death, whichever occurred first, or last contact. EFS was analzyed by the individual disease groups rather than the cohort dose levels.
