Study summary

Primary

  • Determine the efficacy of pralatrexate with concurrent vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation when administered to patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL)

Secondary

  • Determine the safety of pralatrexate with concurrent vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation when administered to patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL
  • Determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of pralatrexate when administered with vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation
Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2, single arm, non-randomized, open-label, multi-center study designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of pralatrexate when administered with vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation to patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL.

Pralatrexate will be given over 3-5 minutes intravenously (IV), which means through a vein. If pralatrexate is tolerated well, the patient will receive IV injections of pralatrexate every week for 6 weeks, followed by 1 week without receiving pralatrexate. These 7 week cycles will be repeated depending on response and tolerability.

  • Active uncontrolled infection, underlying medical condition including unstable cardiac disease, or other serious illness that would impair the ability of the patient to receive protocol treatment.
  • Major surgery within 2 weeks of study entry.
  • Receipt of any conventional chemotherapy or radiation therapy (RT) within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to study treatment or planned use during the course of the study.
  • Receipt of corticosteroids within 7 days of study treatment, unless patient has been taking a continuous dose of no more than 10 mg/day of prednisone for at least 1 month.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Response Rate Per Independent Central Review

    Patient response to treatment was determined by independent central review using International Workshop Criteria (IWC). Results present the best overall response. The initial response assessment was scheduled at week 7 (prior to Cycle 2) and then prior to every even-numbered cycle (every 14 weeks) for up to two years after first dose.

    Time frame: Response was assessed at 7 weeks (prior to Cycle 2) and then prior to every other even-numbered cycle (every 14 weeks) until disease progression or death for up to 2 years after initial dose

Secondary outcomes

  1. Duration of Response Per Independent Central Review

    Calculated only for those pts with an objective response. Pts receiving subsequent therapy (including transplant) before progressive disease (PD) was documented were censored at date of last response assessment obtained prior to subsequent therapy, with a note indicating censoring occurrence \& reason. Pts who withdrew consent to participate in the study prior to PD were censored at the date of their last evaluable assessment of response. Pts who withdrew from treatment prior to PD or initiation of subsequent therapy without withdrawing consent were followed for disease status when possible.

    Time frame: Measured from the first day of documented response, assessed at prior to every other even-numbered cycle (every 14 weeks) until disease progression or death for up to 2 years after initial dose

  2. Progression-free Survival Per Independent Central Review

    Patients (pts) with subsequent therapy prior to PD were censored at date of last response assessment prior to subsequent therapy. Pts who were alive without PD were censored at the date of last assessment of first dose. Pts who withdrew consent to participate in the study prior to PD were censored at the date of their last disease assessment or treatment day 1. Pts who withdrew consent from treatment prior to PD without withdrawing consent for follow-up were followed for disease status \& survival. Pts who did not have response assessments after baseline were censored at treatment day 1.

    Time frame: Calculated as the number of days from treatment day 1 to the date of disease progression or death, regardless of cause for up to 2 years after initial dose

  3. Overall Survival Per Independent Central Review

    Calculated as date of death - date of enrollment +1, estimated using the product-limit estimator. Pts who had not died (no record of death) or were lost to follow-up were censored at the date of last contact. Pts who withdrew consent to participate in the study including consent to be followed, were censored on the date of withdrawal. Pts who withdrew from treatment without withdrawing consent were followed for survival status whenever possible.

    Time frame: Assessed every 14 weeks while on treatment, and after disease progression no less frequently than every 6 months for up to 2 years after first dose.

Adverse events

Collected over All adverse events (AEs) were captured from the first dose of pralatrexate through 30 days after the last study treatment. From 31 days after the last dose of pralatrexate, pralatrexate-related AEs were recorded until the start of subsequent therapy.. Non-serious events are listed at a 5% frequency threshold.
