E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of HuMax-CD4 in patients with MF or SS who are refractory or intolerant to treatment with Targretin® and one other standard therapy. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives are to explore safety and relief of symptoms and characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of HuMax-CD4 in patients with MF or SS who are refractory or intolerant to treatment with Targretin® and one other standard therapy. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1) A biopsy compatible with the diagnosis of MF or SS with a CD4 positive phenotype within 6 months of study entry 2) MF stage IB to IVB (highest stage ever) or SS 3) Refractory to or intolerant to at least two prior therapies, one being Targretin® (or combinations hereof), and the other being the current standard therapy at each institution. Stage 1 patients are only required to be refractory or intolerant to at least one prior current standard therapy
• Refractory is defined as: - resistance to therapy due to lack of response (defined as failure to obtain at least a 50% reduction in the disease for at least 6 months) - progression of disease (defined as worsening of the disease by 25% or more compared to pre-treatment status) during therapy or within three months after cessation of therapy
• Intolerance to prior therapy is defined as: - Discontinuation of therapy due to side effects/toxicity of the therapy. Patients who are intolerant to a therapy and who have had a clinically meaningful response (defined as greater than a 50% reduction in disease) should not be enrolled until disease progression is documented (defined as worsening of the disease by 25% or more compared to the nadir after treatment was discontinued due to intolerance). Side effects/toxicity of Targretin therapy which qualify for the intolerance criteria are isolated hypertriglyceridemia or combined hypertriglyceridemia/hypercholesterolemia despite concomitant administration of anti-lipemic therapy, defined as: a) Isolated hypertriglyceridemia defined as Triglycerides > 400 mg/d b) Combined hypertriglyceridemia/hypercholesterolemia for non-diabetic patients Triglycerides > 200 mg/dL plus LDL cholesterol > 160 mg/dL or Triglycerides> 200 mg/dL plus HDL cholesterol < 40 mg/dL c) Combined hypertriglyceridemia/hypercholesterolemia in diabetic patients (type I and II): Triglycerides > 150 mg/dL plus LDL cholesterol > 130 mg/dL or Triglycerides > 150 mg/dL plus HDL cholesterol < 40 mg/dL Other side effects/toxicities of Targretin, which qualify for the intolerance criteria: d) ALT > 3 times upper limit of normal e) AST > 3 times upper limit of normal f) Bilirubin > 3 times upper limit of normal g) NCI grade 3 leucopenia h) Uncorrectable hypothyroidism i) Drug related dermatitis
• Ineligibility (as part of the intolerance criteria) to treatment with Targretin® despite administration of anti-lipemic therapy or due to concurrent medical conditions, such as: - Isolated hypertriglyceridemia or combined hypertriglyceridemia/hypercholesterolemia, defined as: a) Isolated hypertriglyceridemia defined as Triglycerides> 400 mg/dL b) Combined hypertriglyceridemia/hypercholesterolemia in non-diabetic patients defined as Triglycerides > 200 mg/dL plus LDL cholesterol > 160 mg/dL or Triglycerides> 200 mg/dL plus HDL cholesterol < 40 mg/dL c) Combined hypertriglyceridemia/hypercholesterolemia in diabetic patients (Type I and II): Triglycerides > 150 mg/dL plus LDL cholesterol > 130 mg/dL or Triglycerides > 150 mg/dL plus HDL cholesterol < 40 mg/dL - Prior pancreatitis - Recurrent biliary colic - Known hypersensitivity to retinoids - Incapability to swallow Targretin capsules
4. WHO performance status 0, 1 or 2 5. Age ≥ 18 years 6. Following receipt of verbal and written information about the study, the patient must provide signed consent before any study related activity is carried out
