Pixantrone (BBR 2778) Versus Other Chemotherapeutic Agents for Third-line Single Agent Treatment of Patients With Relapsed Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma: A Randomized, Controlled, Phase III Comparative Trial
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating pixantrone, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, rituximab, prednisone and Vinorelbine, Oxalplatin, Ifosfasmide, Etoposide, Mitoxatrone, Gemcitabine or Rituximab for Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin. Completed, enrolled 140 participants across 99 sites in 20 countries.
Detailed Summary
BBR 2778 is a novel aza-anthracenedione that has activity in experimental tumors and shows reduced potential for cardiotoxicity in animal models. This cytotoxic agent has structural similarities with mitoxantrone as well as general similarities with anthracyclines (such as the tricyclic central quinoid chromophore).
