Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and best dose of a new drug, PCI-32765, when given with two other drugs to treat patients with NHL that has come back.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain types of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that have come back after treatment. They must weigh at least 40 kg, be fairly active (ECOG <=2), and agree to use birth control if they can have children. People who've had other cancers recently, serious illnesses, or major surgery aren't eligible. Also excluded are those with HIV/HBV/HCV infections, severe heart disease, or poor kidney/liver/blood function.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a combination of treatments: the BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 with rituximab and bendamustine hydrochloride in patients whose lymphoma has returned. It aims to find the safest dose that works best by blocking cancer cell growth enzymes and attacking cancer cells directly.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to infusion such as fever or chills; low blood counts leading to increased infection risk; liver problems; fatigue; digestive issues like nausea or constipation; muscle and bone pain; and potential heart rhythm problems.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) as determined by the incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 when given in combination with rituximab and bendamustine hydrochloride
Secondary outcome measures
Correlation of PGx with response and toxicity
Duration of response
Frequency, severity, and relatedness of adverse events

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (enzyme inhibitor, chemo, monoclonal antibody)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 PO QD on days 1-28. Patients also receive rituximab IV on day 1 and bendamustine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1-2. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may continue receiving BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 PO in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the enrollment limit for this research endeavor?

"At this time, recruitment for this experiment has been closed. Initially posted on December 7th 2011 and last modified June 27th 2022, the study is no longer actively seeking participants. If you are still looking for studies to join, there are currently 2,720 trials related to Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia and 599 involving BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 that require involvement."

Answered by AI

Has the Food and Drug Administration accepted PCI-32765 as a BTK inhibitor?

"The safety of BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 was assessed to be a 1 as this is an early stage trial, so there are only scant datasets confirming both its efficacy and safety."

Answered by AI

Is the registration process still ongoing for this experiment?

"This trial is not currently accepting recruits. It was initially published on December 7th 2011 and last modified June 27 2022. However, there are over 2500 studies for waldenstrom macroglobulinemia and nearly 600 trials testing BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 that presently need participants."

Answered by AI

What is the usual purpose of taking BTK inhibitor PCI-32765?

"PCI-32765, a BTK inhibitor commonly used to treat dlbcl, can also be prescribed for other malignancies such as b-cell lymphomas and polyangium. Additionally, this medication has been found to have some benefit in terms of amino acid supplementation."

Answered by AI

Are there any historical accounts of BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 in scientific research?

"At present, there are 599 active clinical trials researching BTK inhibitor PCI-32765. Out of those studies, 111 have progressed to Phase 3 testing. Ascoli Piceno in Provincia is the base for multiple studies however this treatment is being tested at 25413 different locations worldwide."
