  Purpose

Patients with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the ocular adnexae (MLOA) will be eligible for treatment with doxycycline (part A: clinico-pathological study); patients with other types of ocular lymphoma, inflammatory lesions or those ineligible/unwilling for treatment with doxycycline can participate in the only pathologic study (part B).

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
 Drug: doxycycline (tetracycline)
 Phase 2

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Clinico-pathological Phase II Study With Translational Elements to Investigate the Possible Infective Causes of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma of the Ocular Adnexae With Particular Reference to Chlamydia Species and the Effects of MALT Lymphoma Treatment With Tetracycline

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • response rates [ Time Frame: at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 12 months and 24 months from start of doxycycline ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 54
Study Start Date: September 2006
Study Completion Date: May 2012
Primary Completion Date: December 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: doxycycline
doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 3 weeks
 Drug: doxycycline (tetracycline)
doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 3 weeks

Detailed Description:

Patients with suspected lymphoma of the ocular adnexae will undergo a diagnostic biopsy in the usual way. If lymphoma is confirmed the patient will undergo a full staging evaluation and entry into either part A or B of the study will then be considered as follows:

  • clinico-pathological (part A) for patients with MALT lymphoma of the ocular adnexae (MLOA) and eligible for treatment with Doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 3 weeks ; or
  • pathology only (part B) for patients with other types of ocular lymphoma, inflammatory lesions or those ineligible/unwilling for treatment with doxycycline.
  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age 18 years or over
  2. Histologically confirmed marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of MALT-type
  3. Lymphoma localised to the ocular adnexae (conjunctiva, lacrimal gland, orbit soft tissue, clinical stage IEA) following a CT scan of neck, thorax, abdomen and pelvis, bone marrow aspirate/trephine, full blood count and biochemical profile
  4. No previous treatment, excepting RT for localised lymphoma of the contralateral eye
  5. At least one measurable lesion
  6. No systemic antibiotic therapy in the last three months
  7. No other malignancy in the previous 5 years apart from appropriately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
  8. In women with reproductive potential a willingness to use contraception from entry into the study for a period of 3 months
  9. Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant or lactating women
  2. Known allergy to tetracycline
  3. Patients unwilling to comply with the requirements of follow-up as defined by this protocol
  4. Myasthenia gravis (tetracycline can exacerbate muscle weakness)
  5. Systemic lupus erythematous (tetracycline can exacerbate the condition)
  6. Patients with large or rapidly enlarging tumours requiring immediate radiotherapy
