NCT01780662

Brief Summary

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of brentuximab vedotin when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and to see how well they work in treating younger patients with Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned or does not respond to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as brentuximab vedotin, may find cancer cells and help kill them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving brentuximab vedotin together with gemcitabine hydrochloride may kill more cancer cells.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) for Brentuximab Vedotin

    MTD was determined as the maximum dose at which fewer than one-third of patients experience Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) as assessed by National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE v 4.0 during Cycle 1 of therapy. Gemcitabine was administered on days 1 and 8 of a 21 day cycle at a fixed dose. Brentuximab vedotin was investigated at a starting dose of 1.4 mg/kg administered on day 1 and escalated if tolerated.

    During cycle 1 of protocol therapy (21 days)

  • Adverse Events Graded According to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0

    The number of eligible patients assigned to receive brentuximab vedotin in combination with gemcitabine that experienced CTC Version 4, grade 3 or higher adverse events during Phase 1 and Phase 2.

    13 months from first dose

  • The Number of Patients With Relapsed or Refractory HL Who Achieved Complete Response (CR)

    The number of patients who experienced complete Response (CR) within the first four cycles. By modern response criteria, those with partial response (PR) or stable disease with all target lesions with Deauville scores \<=3 after cycle 4 are also considered as CR. Patients were assessed after treatment with four cycles of gemcitabine with brentuximab vedotin. CR was only reported for Dose level 2 across both phases of study.

    After 4 cycles (21 days per cycle) of protocol therapy

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • The Number of Patients Who Had Disease Response Assessed by Deauville Scales Among Those in Phase I With Dose Level 2.

    Up to 13 months from first dose

  • Percentage of Patients Who Achieved Overall Response (OR) as Measured by Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR)

    After 4 cycles (21 days per cycle) of protocol therapy

  • The Number of Patients Who Had Successful Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) Collection

    From 1 to 5 cycles

  • Plasma Level of Thymus and Activation-Regulated Chemokine (TARC)

    From baseline to time prior to cycle 2

  • Correlation Between Micro Ribonucleic Acid (miRNA) and Disease Response to Protocol Treatment

    From the end of first dose to the end of last dose (Up to 13 Months)

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (brentuximab vedotin, gemcitabine hydrochloride)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive brentuximab vedotin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 100 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 15 more courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with CR after any course may go off protocol therapy for stem cell transplant.
