About this trial

This phase II trial investigates how well brentuximab vedotin and bendamustine work in treating patients with follicular lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Brentuximab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, brentuximab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as bendamustine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This trial is being done to determine if the combination of brentuximab vedotin plus bendamustine is safe and to determine the effectiveness of the combination.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histologically or cytologically confirmed relapsed or refractory follicular CD30+ non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (included in this category are follicular grade I, II, IIIa). CD30 positivity > 1% (tumor cells or surrounding peripheral microenvironment)

Patients must have measurable disease by computed tomography (CT) or positron emission tomography (PET) scan, with one or more sites of disease >= 1.5 cm in longest dimension

Relapsed or refractory disease after at least 1 prior regimen, defined using the 2014 Lugano classification

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%)

Disqualifiers

Herbal therapy (1 week washout required)

Treatment with any other investigational agent within 3 weeks prior to cycle 1, day 1.

Prior therapy with bendamustine or a bendamustine-containing regimens with progression within 6 months of receiving treatment

Intranasal, inhaled, topical or local steroid injections (e.g., intra-articular injection); steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions; systemic corticosteroid at physiologic doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent may be enrolled

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Complete response (CR) rate

Will be assessed per 2014 Lugano criteria and Lymphoma Response to Immunomodulatory Therapy Criteria (LYRIC) criteria. Will be summarized with 95% confidence intervals.

Time frame
Up to 2 years
2

Best overall response rate (ORR)

Will be assessed by complete response + partial response per 2014 Lugano criteria and LYRIC criteria.

Time frame
Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Duration of response

Will be summarized descriptively using the Kaplan-Meier estimate.

Time frame
From time of initial response assessment demonstrating at least partial response until disease response assessment that demonstrates progressive disease, assessed up to 2 years
2

Time to response

Will be summarized descriptively using the Kaplan-Meier estimate.

Time frame
From registration to first disease response assessment that demonstrates at least partial response, assessed up to 2 years
3

Progression-free survival

Disease relapse/progression will be defined according to the 2014 International Harmonization Project (IHP) criteria. Will be summarized descriptively using the Kaplan-Meier estimate.

Time frame
From registration until death, relapse/progression, receipt of anti-lymphoma therapy, or last follow-up, whichever comes first, assessed up to 2 years
4

Overall survival

Will be summarized descriptively using the Kaplan-Meier estimate.

Time frame
From registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 2 years
