Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
MK-8808 Combination Therapy
Arm Description
Participants received MK-8808 375 mg/m^2 intravenously (IV) + cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m^2 IV + vincristine 1.4 mg/m^2 IV (maximum dose of 2 mg IV) on Day 1 each cycle, plus prednisolone 40 mg/m^2, orally on Days 1 to 5 of each cycle for a maximum of 8 cycles. Participants receiving clinical benefit could remain on MK-8808 375 mg/m^2 IV starting 8 weeks after last dose of combination therapy, every 2 months for up to 2 years.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Number of Participants Experiencing Clinical and Laboratory Adverse Events (AEs) During MK-8808/CVP Combination Therapy
An adverse event is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body whether or not considered related to the study treatment.
Number of Participants Experiencing Clinical and Laboratory AEs During MK-8808 Maintenance Therapy
An adverse event is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body whether or not considered related to the study treatment.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Plasma Levels of MK-8808 When Used in Combination With CVP
Cmax is a measure of the maximum concentration of the drug in the plasma as measured using plasma samples taken over specified time points.
Cmax of Plasma Levels of MK-8808 During Single Agent Maintenance Therapy
Cmax is a measure of the maximum amount of drug in the plasma over time using samples taken at specified time points.
Lowest Concentration (Ctrough) of Plasma Levels of MK-8808 When Used in Combination With CVP
Ctrough is a measure of the lowest level of drug in the plasma over time, using plasma samples collected at specified time points.
Ctrough of Plasma Levels of MK-8808 When Used as Single Agent Maintenance
Ctrough is a measure of the lowest level of drug in the plasma over time, using plasma samples collected at specified time points.
Clinical Response of Tumor to MK-8808/CVP Combination Therapy
The response of the tumor to MK-8808/CVP combination therapy was radiographically assessed using Response Criteria Evaluation in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Response categories of partial response (PR), complete resonse (CR), and uncomfirmed (CRu) central review.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of MK-8808 in combination with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisolone (CVP), and as a single agent, for participants with B-lymphocyte antigen cluster of differentiation 20 (CD20)-positive follicular lymphoma who have had no prior chemotherapy. The primary study hypothesis is that MK-8808 will be safe and well tolerated in combination with CVP and as a single agent.
Detailed Description
The study was terminated early by the Sponsor due to business reasons. All participants were discontinued from MK-8808 + CVP, but could continue to receive maintenance therapy with MabThera™ (rituximab) per standard of care.
