  Purpose

This phase II clinical trial is studying how well selumetinib works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Selumetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.


Condition Intervention Phase
Recurrent Adult Diffuse Large Cell Lymphoma
Drug: selumetinib
Other: diagnostic laboratory biomarker analysis
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 Single-Arm Phase II Clinical Trial With the Novel MEK Inhibitor AZD-6244 for the Treatment of MCT-1 Related Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Overall response rate (complete response and partial response) in patients treated with selumetinib [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Estimates of the response rate based on best response [complete response (CR), and partial response (PR)] and the tumor control rate [CR, PR, and stable disease (SD)] will be provided together with the exact two-sided 95% confidence intervals.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Duration of response [ Time Frame: From the documented beginning of response (CR or PR) to the time of relapse, assessed up to 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The Kaplan-Meier procedure will be used to characterize the survivorship function. Median time-to-events and the corresponding two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be provided for each of these variables.

  • Overall survival [ Time Frame: The date of study entry to the date of death, assessed up to 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: The time from entry onto study until lymphoma progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The Kaplan-Meier procedure will be used to characterize the survivorship function. Median time-to-events and the corresponding two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be provided for each of these variables.

  • Time to treatment failure [ Time Frame: From the time from study entry to any treatment failure, assessed up to 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    The descriptions and grading scales found in the CTEP Version 4 of the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) will be utilized for AE reporting.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the overall response rate (combined complete remission [CR] and partial remission [PR]) of AZD6244 hyd-sulfate anti-MEK (selumetinib) therapy for patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of MEK inhibitor therapy. II. To determine the progression-free survival, time to treatment failure, duration of response, and overall survival with AZD6244 hyd-sulfate therapy.

III. To examine biomarkers through down-regulation of pERK and several relevant target substrates (e.g., MCT-1, MNK, ELK, c-MYC, and HIF-1alpha) in peripheral blood studies.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive selumetinib orally (PO) twice daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo blood sample and tumor tissue collection at baseline and at day 15 of course 1 for biomarker studies.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 3 years.
