Experimental
Experimental
Phase I
Phase II
The phase I portion of the study is a standard dose-escalation schemed designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cladribine in the combination of bortezomib, cladribine, and rituximab therapy. The MTD is defined as the dose level in which ≤1 out of 6 patients have dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 5,12, 19, 26 for 1st cycle, then day 5 of cladribine for next 5 cycles and then every 2 months maintenance dose. Cladribine 3-5 mg/m2 days 1-5 for 6 cycles. Bortezomib 1.6 mg/m2 sub Q days 12,19,26 for 3 cycle, then every 2 weeks maintenance dose until toxicity or progression.
The phase II portion of the study is a two-arm, single-stage design with no interim analysis. One arm will accrue newly diagnosed patients, and one arm will accrue relapsed patients. In each arm, the progression-free survival rate at 2 years will be used as the primary endpoint for determining whether the treatment is sufficiently active in each arm. No comparisons will be made between the arms. Rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 5,12,19,26 for 1st cycles, then day 5 montly for next 5 cycles, then every 2 months maintenance dose. Cladribine 3-5 mg/m2 days for 6 cycles (dose determined from phase I). Bortezomib 1.6 mg/m2 weekly on day 12,19,26 for 3 cycles then every 2 weeks as maintenance dose until toxicity or progression.
