E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the antitumor efficacy, as determined by the objective response rate (ORR) of
single-agent brentuximab vedotin 1.8 mg/kg administered intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks,
in patients with relapsed or refractory classical HL who are considered to be not suitable for
SCT or multiagent chemotherapy |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To determine the duration of tumor control, including the duration of response (DOR),
progression-free survival (PFS), and complete remission (CR) rate by independent review
facility (IRF) assessment after treatment with brentuximab vedotin
To determine the proportion of patients who receive hematopoietic SCT, either autologous
stem cell transplantation (ASCT) or allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) after
treatment with brentuximab vedotin
To determine overall survival (OS) after treatment with brentuximab vedotin
To assess the safety and tolerability of brentuximab vedotin in this patient population
To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of brentuximab vedotin
To determine the immunogenicity of brentuximab vedotin |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or female patients 18 years or older.
2. A diagnosis of relapsed or refractory classical HL, confirmed by biopsy if clinically feasible on the basis of local pathology review.
3. A history of at least 1 prior systemic chemotherapeutic regimen.
4. Not suitable for SCT or multiagent chemotherapy
5. Bidimensional measurable disease, of at least 1.5 cm, as documented by radiographic technique (spiral CT scan preferred), per IWG Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma.
6. Patients must have completed any prior immunotherapy (eg, rituximab) or radioisotopic therapy at least 12 weeks before the first dose of brentuximab vedotin in the absence of clear disease progression.
7. Patient has recovered to Grade 1 or lower toxicity related to radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy unless evidence of toxicity is due to underlying HL. If toxicity is related to underlying HL, Grade 2 or lower toxicity is acceptable.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Previous treatment with brentuximab vedotin.
2. Previously received an ASCT or alloSCT.
3. Female patients who are lactating and breastfeeding or have a positive serum or urine
pregnancy test during the Screening period or a positive serum or urine pregnancy
test on Day 1 before first dose of study drug.
4. Any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator’s opinion,
potentially interfere with the completion of treatment according to this protocol.
5. Treatment with any investigational products within 4 weeks before the first dose of
study drug.
6. Any of the following cardiovascular conditions or values within 6 months before the
first dose of study drug:
- New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart failure
- Myocardial infarction within 6 months before the first dose of study drug
- Evidence of current uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions, including
clinically relevant cardiac arrhythmias, congestive heart failure (CHF),
angina, or electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or active
conduction system abnormalities
7. History of another primary malignancy that has not been in remission for at least
3 years. (The following are exempt from the 3-year limit: nonmelanoma skin
cancer, curatively treated localized prostate cancer, and cervical carcinoma in situ on
biopsy or a squamous intraepithelial lesion on PAP smear.)
8. Any active uncontrolled systemic viral, bacterial, or fungal infection.
9. Any antimicrobial, antiviral, or antifungal therapy within 1 week prior to the first
dose of brentuximab vedotin (routine prophylaxis is acceptable).
10. Known cerebral/meningeal disease, including signs or symptoms suggestive of PML,
or any history of PML.
11. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
12. Known hepatitis B surface antigen positive, or known or suspected active hepatitis C
infection.
13. Grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy.
14. Current therapy with other systemic antineoplastic or investigational agents.
15. Therapy with corticosteroids at higher than or equal to 20 mg/day of prednisone
equivalent within 1 week before administration of the first dose of brentuximab
vedotin.
16. Patients with a known hypersensitivity to recombinant proteins, murine proteins, or
any excipient contained in the drug formulation.
17. Patients with dementia or an altered mental state that would preclude the
understanding and rendering of informed consent. |
