Everolimus and Lenalidomide in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin Lymphoma

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2020-02-13
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Giving everolimus together with lenalidomide may be an effective treatment for lymphoma.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving everolimus and lenalidomide together and to see how well they work in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin lymphoma.

• Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Mayo Clinic
• Treatments: Everolimus; Lenalidomide; Sirolimus; Thalidomide

• Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 50 IU/ml within 10-14 days prior to and again within 24 hours of starting lenalidomide and must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE SAME TIME, at least 28 days before she starts taking lenalidomide, during study treatment and for 8 weeks after the last dose of RAD001 (FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing)

• Men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a FCBP even if they have had a successful vasectomy (All patients must be counseled at a minimum of every 28 days about pregnancy precautions and risks of fetal exposure)

• Provide informed written consent

• Willingness to return to Mayo Clinic enrolling institution for follow-up

• Patient is willing to provide blood samples for research purposes

• Recovered from acute side effects of prior myelosuppressive chemotherapy or biological therapy

• All study participants must be registered into the mandatory RevAssist program, and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of RevAssist

Exclusion

• Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens

• Active other malignancy, excepting non-melanotic skin cancer or carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix (If there is a history of prior malignancy, they must not be receiving other specific treatment (other than hormonal therapy) for their cancer)

• Any of the following because this study involves an agent that has known genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects; Nursing women; Men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception throughout the study and for 8 weeks after the last dose of study drug (NOTE: If barrier contraceptives are being used, these must be continued throughout the trial by both sexes; hormonal contraceptives are not acceptable as a sole method of contraception)

• Patients who have received prior treatment with both an mTOR inhibitor (sirolimus, temsirolimus, everolimus) and lenalidomide who did not have a response to either when used as single agents

• Patients with a known allergic reaction to thalidomide, RAD001 (everolimus) or other rapamycins (sirolimus, temsirolimus) or their excipients to the point where either agent should not be given again

• The development of erythema nodosum if characterized by a desquamating rash while taking thalidomide or similar drugs
