NCT00142116

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the percentage of people who can attain remission and the length of time such responses to therapy are sustained, as well as the side effects that might result from rituximab and thalidomide in people with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Objective Response Rate

    Response determinations were made using modified consensus panel criteria from the Third International Workshop on WM, and response rates were determined on an evaluable basis. A complete response was defined as having resolution of all symptoms, normalization of serum IgM levels with complete disappearance of IgM paraprotein by immunofixation, and resolution of any adenopathy or splenomegaly. Patients achieving a partial response and a minor response were defined as achieving a more than or equal to 50% and more than or equal to 25% reduction in serum IgM levels, respectively. Patients with stable disease were defined as having less than 25% change in serum IgM levels, in the absence of new or increasing adenopathy or splenomegaly and/or other progressive signs or symptoms of WM. Progressive disease was defined as a greater than 25% increase in serum IgM level occurred from the lowest attained response value or progression of clinically significant disease-related symptom(s).

    3 years

  • Time to Progression

    Time to disease progression (TTP) was calculated from the start of therapy using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    49.1 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • To Identify the Mechanism(s) of Action for Combined Thalidomide and Rituximab Activity.

    3 years

Study Arms (1)

Thalidomide and Rituximab

EXPERIMENTAL

Thalidomide 200mg orally once a day for 14 weeks if that dosage is tolerated well, it will be increased to 400mg for up to 50 weeks Rituximab Given intravenously once weekly for 4 weeks beginning the second week of study treatment. If tolerated well, this may be repeated 8 weeks later.
