Buparlisib in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2017-03-22
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well buparlisib works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement or has not responded to previous treatment. Buparlisib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

• Phase: Early Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Mayo Clinic
• Collaborator: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

• Use of a combination of any two of the following (a+b):

1. Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS)

2. Barrier methods of contraception: condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/vaginal suppository

• Oral contraception, injected or implanted hormonal methods are not allowed

• Uncontrolled infection

• Average baseline of >= 4 stools per day

• Therapy with myelosuppressive chemotherapy or biologic therapy < 21 days prior to registration unless the patient has recovered from the nadir of the previous treatment to a level that meets the inclusion eligibility criteria of this protocol

• Patients who have received any continuous or intermittent small molecule therapeutics (excluding monoclonal antibodies) =< 5 effective half-lives prior to registration or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy
