Terms in these criteria, in plain language(13)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Leptomeningeal disease

Cancer that has spread to the leptomeninges, the thin layers covering the brain and spinal cord, and the fluid between them. It is not the same as brain metastases.

Criteria often treat it separately, and many studies leave it out even where treated brain metastases are allowed.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

GVHD (graft-versus-host disease)

After a transplant from a donor, the donor’s immune cells attack the recipient’s body, often the skin, gut or liver.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

  • Experimental
    Cohort 1- Participants 12 to less than 18 years of age

    Participants will receive idelalisib monotherapy (from day 1 to day 21), followed by combination therapy with RICE. Upon enrollment, participants will be assigned to one of the 3 dose levels during idelalisib monotherapy (Dose level 1 = 55 mg/m\^2 twice daily (BID), Dose level 2 = 85 mg/m\^2 BID, Dose level 3 = 125 mg/m\^2 BID) administered as 50 mg, 100 mg or 150 mg tablets as appropriate, or as 10 mg dispersible tablets for oral suspension for participants who cannot swallow tablets. * Day 1: single dose of idelalisib * Day 2 up to Day 21: initiate and continue idelalisib BID dosing * Day 22 for up to 12 months: idelalisib twice per day in combination with RICE. Cycles of RICE will be administered over 5 days every 3 weeks (Day 1: rituximab; Day 3: rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide; Days 4 and 5: ifosfamide, etoposide) starting day 22 (or earlier if there is evidence of clinical progression while on idelalisib monotherapy) for up to 12 months.

    Drug: Idelalisib · Drug: Rituximab · Drug: Ifosfamide · Drug: Carboplatin · Drug: Etoposide

  • Experimental
    Cohort 2- Participants 1 to less than 12 years of age

    Participants will receive one of the 3 doses of idelalisib monotherapy (from day 1 to day 21) followed by combination therapy with RICE. Idelalisib will be administered as as 50 mg, 100 mg or 150 mg tablets as appropriate, or as 10 mg dispersible tablets for oral suspension for participants who cannot swallow tablets. Participants will will be enrolled at dose level 1 once tolerability is demonstrated in the older cohort (Cohort 1). Thereafter, both age cohorts will be dose escalated independently. * Day 1: single dose of idelalisib * Day 2 up to Day 21: initiate and continue idelalisib BID * Day 22 for up to 12 months: idelalisib twice per day in combination with RICE. Cycles of RICE will be administered over 5 days every 3 weeks (Day 1: rituximab; Day 3: rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide; Days 4 and 5: ifosfamide, etoposide) starting day 22 (or earlier if there is evidence of clinical progression while on idelalisib monotherapy) for up to 12 months.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 11, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
