A Phase II Study of Lenalidomide (REVLIMID®) in Combination With Rituximab for Patients With CD5+/CD20+ Hematologic Malignancies Who Relapse or Progress After Rituximab
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Lenalidomide and Rituximab for Lymphocytic Leukemia and Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Completed, enrolled 29 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the use of Rituximab in combination with Revlimid in the treatment of refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). Revlimid® is a drug that changes the immune system and it may also get in the way with the growth of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. Therefore, in theory, it may reduce or prevent the growth of cancer cells. Revlimid® is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of specific types of Myelodysplasia syndrome (MDS) and Multiple Myeloma, two different types of blood cancer. It is currently being tested in a variety of cancer conditions. In this case it is considered experimental.

Timeline
Interventions
Lenalidomide was administered orally with escalating doses on 28-days cycles. The first cycle was administered with a starting dose of 2.5 mg daily on days 1-7, 5mg on days 8-14 and 10 mg on days 15-21, followed by seven days off. On cycle 2 and beyond lenalidomide was administered at 20 mg daily on days 1-21.
Rituximab was administered at 375 mg/m\^2 intravenously on a weekly basis for the first cycle starting on day 15. Subsequent rituximab doses were administered on day one of cycle 2 and beyond, every 4 weeks. Doses were repeated on 28-day cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, but were planned for 12 cycles.
