A Study of Durvalumab in Combination With R-CHOP or Lenalidomide Plus R-CHOP in Previously Untreated High-Risk Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Condition: Lymphoma, Large B-Cell, Diffuse
MeSH terms: Lymphoma; Lymphoma, B-Cell; Lymphoma, Large B-Cell, Diffuse
Intervention: Durvalumab; Rituximab; Doxorubicin; Vincristine; Cyclophosphamide; Prednisone; Lenalidomide
Intervention description: Durvalumab was supplied in single use vials as a liquid solution containing 500 mg (nominal) of durvalumab at a concentration of 50 mg/mL to be infused by intravenous (IV) injection.
Day 1 of each treatment cycle (Induction Period and Consolidation Period) started with the administration of IV durvalumab followed by a 2-hour observation period post infusion.; Subsequent to durvalumab infusion, rituximab was administered by IV. Rituximab administration could be split over 2 consecutive days according to local clinical practice. Rapid infusion of rituximab was not allowed in this clinical study.; A component of the CHOP therapy administered by IV. CHOP therapy was administered following rituximab.; A component of the CHOP therapy administered by IV. CHOP therapy was administered following rituximab.; A component of the CHOP therapy administered by IV. CHOP therapy was administered following rituximab.; Prednisone was administered as an IV infusion or by mouth (PO) on Day 1, followed by PO administration on Days 2-5 of each cycle.
Prednisone could be given prior to other drugs of the CHOP therapy. It was administered after lenalidomide dosing in the R2-CHOP treatment arm.; Lenalidomide was administered orally in capsule form on Days 1-14 of the DUR+R2-CHOP treatment arm only.

Summary:

      This Phase 2, two-arm, open-label study is designed to evaluate the safety, clinical
      activity, and predictive biomarkers of durvalumab in combination with R-CHOP or R2-CHOP,
      followed by durvalumab consolidation therapy in previously untreated subjects with high-risk
      diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Induction treatment with R-CHOP (± lenalidomide) will
      last for a total of up to 6 to 8 treatment cycles (21 day cycles), and the total time on
      study treatment, including durvalumab consolidation, will last up to 12 months.

      On 05-Sep-2017, the US FDA has issued a Partial Clinical Hold on this study resulting in the
      discontinuation of enrollment into Arm B (Durvalumab + Lenalidomide + R-CHOP). After the US
      FDA Partial Clinical Hold, new eligible participants have been enrolled in Arm A (Durvalumab
      + R-CHOP).
