Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether iopofosine I 131 is more effective than the combination Rituximab-Cyclophosphamide-Dexamethasone (R-CD). The main question the study aims to answer is:

  • Does iopofosine I 131 work better than R-CD when looking at the length of time during and after the treatment that a patient lives with WM but it does not get worse.

Participants will:

  • Be randomly assigned to received either iopofosine I 131 or R-CD.
  • If assigned to iopofosine I 131, have it administered via infusion 2 times each cycle for a total of 2 cycles (each cycle is about 3 months long).
  • If assigned to R-CD, it will be administered for up to six cycles, and each cycle is 3-weeks long
  • Visit the clinic once every 3 weeks for checkups and testing.
  • Report any side effects or new medications.
Read the detailed description

This study designed to demonstrate superiority of progression free survival (PFS) of iopofosine I 131 in comparison to Rituximab-Cyclophosphamide-Dexamethasone (R-CD) in patients with WM who are relapsed or refractory to a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi). It will also determine the antitumor activity of iopofosine I 131 as compared to R-CD through assessment of major response rate, overall response rate, and rates of very good partial response and complete response.

Up to 219 evaluable patients will be enrolled.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(20)

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.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

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.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

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.

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.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

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.

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 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.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Superiority of progression free survival (PFS)

    A survival analysis will be performed comparing treatment arms using the Cox Proportional Hazard model to determine the hazard ratio, corresponding 95% CI, and p-value to determine superiority between iopofosine I 131 and R-CD.

    Time frame: From baseline randomization through study completion of progressive disease, or death due to any reason (whichever status is recorded first).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Major response rate (MRR)

    Proportion of participants with CR, VGPR, or PR determined from the modified IWWM-11 response criteria. Corresponding 95% CO using the Clopper-Pearson method will be reported.

    Time frame: Day 1 of Cycle 1 of dosing through the start of new antineoplastic treatment or early termination, whichever occurs first.

  2. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Proportion of participants with CR, VGPR, PR, or MR determined from the modified IWWM-11 response criteria. Corresponding 95% CO using the Clopper-Pearson method will be reported.

    Time frame: Day 1 of Cycle 1 of dosing until start of new antineoplastic treatment or early termination, whichever occurs first.

  3. VGPR/CR rates

    Proportion of participants with VGPR or CR determined from the modified IWWM-11 response criteria. The corresponding 95% CI using the Clopper-Pearson method will be reported for each treatment group

    Time frame: Day 1 of Cycle 1 of dosing until the start of new antineoplastic treatment or early termination, whichever occurs first.

  4. Number of adverse events related to trial medications (iopofosine I 131 or R-CD)

    Adverse events are graded per NCI CTCAE v5.0

    Time frame: Assessed throughout the study through 1 year following completion of treatment.

Other outcomes

  1. Overall survival (OS)

    The Kaplan-Meier method, including descriptive statistics, median OS, and corresponding median OS 95% CI, will be used to characterize OS rates for both treatment groups

    Time frame: From randomization until death from any cause or study closure (5 years after last patient first dose).

  2. Duration of response (DOR)

    The KM method, including descriptive statistics, median DOR, and corresponding median DOR 95% CI, will be used for analysis of DOR for both treatment groups.

    Time frame: Time from the first documentation of response to the subsequent date of the first occurrence of PD or death due to any reason, or until study closure (5 years after last patient first dose).
