Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Lenalidomide and CHOEP Primary · 21 days

MTD is defined as the dose level below the lowest dose that induces dose-limiting toxicity in at least one-third of patients (at least 2 of a maximum of 6 new patients) (Phase I) within the first cycle of study treatment.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events Graded According to Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) (Phase I) Primary · Up to 6 cycles of treatment (approximately 5 months)

Non-hematologic toxicities will be evaluated via the ordinal CTC standard toxicity grading. Hematologic toxicity measures of thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and leukopenia will be assessed using continuous variables as the outcome measures (primarily nadir) as well as categorization via CTC standard toxicity grading. Overall toxicity incidence as well as toxicity profiles by dose level and patient will be explored and summarized.

Complete Response Rate (Phase II) Primary · Up to the completion of course 6 (18 weeks)

A success is defined to be an objective status of CR after completion of 6 cycles of treatment. The proportion of successes will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. A 95% confidence interval for the true overall CR rate will be calculated according to the method of Duffy and Santner.

Treatment (Combination Chemotherapy, Lenalidomide)4933 – 64
Overall Response Rate Primary · Up to the completion of course 6 (18 weeks)

The ORR will be estimated by the total number of patients who achieve a PR or CR at the end of six cycles of treatment divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Exact binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true ORR will be calculated.

Treatment (Combination Chemotherapy, Lenalidomide)6954 – 81
Number of Participants With Adverse Events Graded According to CTC (Phase II) Secondary · Up to 1 year

The toxicity profile will be further assessed based on phase II patients. Overall toxicity incidence of maximum tolerated dose level of the Intent to treat (ITT) group of subjects is summarized. 39 subjects were dosed with 10 mg dose of Lenalidamide as the ITT group.

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov

Time frame: Adverse events were collected from time of consent until 30 days post after the last administration of study drug (lenalidomide). For subjects going on to transplant after Len-CHOEP treatment this was approximately 5 months. For subjects going on the the maintenance len treatment instead of transplant upto an additional 1 year of maintenance lenalidomide treatment was allowed. (17 months total). Reporting threshold: 5%. Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.

Sponsor's own description

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with combination chemotherapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for cancer growth. Giving combination chemotherapy with lenalidomide may be a better treatment for peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
