Lenalidomide Plus Rituximab for Recurrent/Refractory CNS and Intraocular Lymphoma

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Recurrent/Refractory CNS, Intraocular Lymphoma

In brief

This is a Phase I study, which means that the goal is to see if the study treatment is safe. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of Lenalidomide at different dose levels, and to test the safety of Lenalidomide alone or in combination with Rituximab (also known as Rituxan®).

You may qualify if…

• Ability to give written informed consent and willingness to comply with the requirements of the protocol
• Age eighteen years or older
• Tumors must be CD20+ on prior pathologic analysis
• All prospective participants must have an Ommaya reservoir (or equivalent ventricular access device) inserted as part of their standard clinical care prior to initiation of study treatment.
• No concurrent methotrexate, thiotepa, cytarabine, or investigational agents
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,500 (growth factors permitted)
• Platelets >50,000 (platelet transfusion allowed)
• Total bilirubin </= 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
• aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT)) </= 3 x ULN.
• Stable dose of glucocorticoids pre-therapy. If patients are receiving dexamethasone, the dose of dexamethasone should not increase during the 96 hours prior to initiation of therapy.
• Renal function assessed by calculated creatinine clearance. Patients must have calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) >/= 60ml/min by Cockcroft-Gault formula or 24 hour urine demonstrating CrCl >/= 60ml/min .
• Females of childbearing potential (FCBPs)† must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 25 Milli-International Units per millilitre (mIU/mL) within 10 - 14 days and again within 24 hours prior to receiving lenalidomide for Cycle 1 and must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE SAME TIME, at least 28 days before she starts taking lenalidomide. FCBPs must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing and for 28 days after receiving their last dose of lenalidomide.
• Men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a successful vasectomy.
• Able to take aspirin (81 or 325 mg) daily as prophylactic anticoagulation (patients intolerant to aspirin may use warfarin or low molecular weight heparin).
• All study participants must be registered into the mandatory RevAssist® program, and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of RevAssist®.

You may not qualify if…

• Intraventricular chemotherapy or radiation therapy within 4 days of starting treatment
• Intravenous rituximab within 30 days of starting treatment
• Persistent neurotoxicity from intraventricular methotrexate, cytarabine, thiotepa
• Anticipated survival of less than 1 month
• Pregnant women and women of child-bearing potential who are not using an effective method of birth control.
• Known hypersensitivity to thalidomide or lenalidomide
• The development of erythema nodosum if characterized by a desquamating rash while taking thalidomide or similar drugs.
• Known seropositive for or active viral infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV). Patients who are seropositive because of hepatitis B virus vaccine are eligible.
• Contraindication to aspirin. If unable to take aspirin, contraindication to warfarin or low molecular weight heparin.
