NCT02405078

Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies tumor-specific markers (clonotype), blood tests, and positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in predicting treatment response at different times during chemotherapy in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients during chemotherapy may help doctors learn more about the effects of treatment on cells and may help doctors determine whether patients are responding to treatment. PET/CT scan procedures are done at the same time with the same machine and the combined scans give more detailed pictures of areas inside the body than either scan gives by itself and may help doctors find out how well treatment is working.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Response to therapy

    Defined as demonstrating the chemotherapy-sensitiveness for curative autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) based on fludeoxyglucose F 18 FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) results. Non-responders will be classified as having equivocal active disease with a positive biopsy for confirmation and unequivocal active disease in a previously biopsy-confirmed site of disease. Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients. The concordance rate between the interim PET/CT scans and the final FDG PET/CT scan, and its 95% confidence interval, will be reported. The change in drug of choice (DoC) and metabolic profile tests will be explored using mixed effect linear regression models.

    Up to 42 days

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Response rate (RR)

    Up to 18 months

  • Progression-free survival

    Up to 18 months

  • Overall survival (OS)

    Up to 18 months

Study Arms (1)

Diagnostic (PET/CT, clonotype, metabolic profile)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive standard salvage chemotherapy as determined by the treating physician. Patients undergo FDG PET/CT scans at baseline (between days -21 to 0), on day 4 after completion of first high-dose chemotherapy, on day 21 after completion of the first course of chemotherapy, and on day 42 after the end of the second course of chemotherapy. Blood samples are also collected for tumor-specific clonotype and metabolic profile at baseline (days -5 to 0) and on days 4, 8, 21, and 42.

  • CT scans showing involvement of 1 or more clearly demarcated lesions with a long axis \> 1.5 cm and short axis \>= 1.0 cm
  • Baseline FDG-PET/CT scans must demonstrate at least one hypermetabolic lesion as defined by the Deauville criteria localizing to CT-defined anatomical tumor sites
  • Suitable candidate for therapy with standard salvage chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) as determined by the treating physician
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2
  • Life expectancy of \>= 12 weeks as estimated by the treating physician
  • Negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) test (women of childbearing potential only)
  • Hemoglobin \>= 8.5 g/dL
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1500/mm\^3
  • Platelet count \>= 75,000/mm\^3
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =\< 5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) for cases involving liver metastasis and =\< 3 x institutional ULN for all other cases
  • Bilirubin =\< 2 x ULN (unless related to lymphoma) or =\< 5 x ULN for subjects with documented or suspected Gilbert's disease
  • +1 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the interpretation of study results or subject safety including non-malignant FDG avid diseases such as sarcoidosis or other granulomatous disease
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
  • Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study where they are receiving non-standard salvage chemotherapy, (i.e., concurrent enrollment is allowable if the patient is receiving standard salvage chemotherapy and research imaging is allowed)
  • Any chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic, or investigational therapy for treatment of lymphoma within 14 days prior to treatment
  • Symptomatic congestive heart failure
