Objectives

Primary

  1. Evaluation of the efficacy and tolerability of everolimus in patients with relapsed or therapy-resistant mantle cell lymphoma.

Secondary

  1. Evaluation of the efficacy of everolimus to induce molecular remission in patients treated with this regimen.
  2. Investigation of immunoglobulin heavy chain variable gene somatic hypermutations (Ig-VH) in classical mantle cell lymphoma as compared to blastoid mantle cell lymphoma, in particular in regard to their frequency, mutation distribution pattern (antigen selected vs. at random), and the individually involved Ig-VH families.
  3. Evaluation of a putative impact of Ig-VH on clinical outcome.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

Inclusion criteria:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed relapsed or chemotherapy/immunotherapy-resistant mantle cell lymphoma
    • No more than 3 lines of prior systemic treatment


  • At least one measurable lesion ≥ 15 mm in its greatest transverse diameter by CT scan


Exclusion criteria:

  • Presence or history of CNS disease (either CNS lymphoma or lymphomatous meningeosis)


  • Newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma


  • Patients suitable for intensive treatment (e.g., hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin hydrochloride and dexamethasone with high-dose methotrexate and cytarabine [HyperCVAD])


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Exclusion criteria:

  • Prior radiation where the indicator lesion(s) are in the irradiated field
  • Prior organ transplantation
  • Participation in another clinical trial within 30 days prior to study entry
  • Concurrent anticancer drugs/treatments or experimental medications
  • Other concurrent investigational therapy

Patient Characteristics:

Inclusion criteria:

  • WHO performance status ≤ 2
  • Creatinine clearance ≥ 30mL/min
  • Bilirubin ≤ 2 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2 times ULN
  • AST and ALT ≤ 2 times ULN
  • Neutrophils ≥ 1,500/mm³ (≥ 1,000/mm³ with marrow infiltration)
  • Thrombocytes ≥ 100,000/mm³ (≥ 75,000/mm³ in case of bone marrow infiltration)
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for 12 months after study participation

Exclusion criteria:

  • Prior or concurrent hematological malignancies
    • Patients with prior solid organ tumors that required no treatment over the last 5 years and are currently free of disease are eligible
  • Cardiovascular disease including any of the following:
    • NYHA class III or IV congestive heart failure
    • Unstable angina pectoris
    • Significant arrhythmia or arrhythmia requiring chronic treatment
    • Myocardial infarction in the last 3 months
  • Serious underlying medical condition which could impair the ability of the patient to participate in the trial including any of the following:
    • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
    • Gastric ulcers
    • Active autoimmune disease
    • Ongoing infection (e.g., HIV or hepatitis)

Secondary Outcome(s)

Adverse reactions
Time to progression
Response duration
Time to treatment failure
Molecular response (PCR status after courses 3 and 6) in patients who test PCR-positive at baseline

Outline

This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral everolimus once daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Bone marrow and peripheral blood samples are collected periodically and analyzed for molecular response by PCR. Molecular studies are also performed on DNA level formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually for 3 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
