A Multicenter Phase II Evaluation Of ONTAK (DENILEUKINDIFTITOX) In Patients With Low Or Intermediate Grade-B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Who Have Been Treated Previously With A Monoclonal Antibody Or Who Are Not Candidates For Monoclonal Antibody Therapy
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy of denileukin diftitox in patients with stages I-IV
low- or intermediate-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. II. Determine the safety of this
drug in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive denileukin diftitox IV over 30-60
minutes on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity. Patients may receive up to 2 additional courses after achieving
complete response. Patients are followed every 3 months until they have progressed or for 2
years from date of termination.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 58 patients (29 with low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL)
and 29 with intermediate-grade NHL) will be accrued for this study within 12 months. The
study may be stopped after accrual of 20 patients (10 with low-grade NHL and 10 with
intermediate-grade NHL) if observed response rate is less than 1 in 10 for each stratum.
Inclusion Criteria
DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Histologically confirmed low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
(NHL) Working Formulation classification: Small lymphocytic lymphoma Follicular lymphoma
(small cleaved or mixed small and large cell) REAL classification: B-cell chronic
lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic Lymphoplasmacytoid Marginal zone/MALT Follicular
small or mixed small and large cell OR Histologically confirmed intermediate-grade B-cell
NHL Working Formulation classification: Follicular large cell Diffuse small cleaved cell
Diffuse mixed small and large cell Diffuse large cell REAL classification: Mantle cell
Diffuse small cell Marginal zone/MALT Large B-cell Lymphoplasmacytoid Stage I, II, III, or
IV disease No cutaneous T-cell lymphoma or other T-cell NHL Bidimensionally measurable
disease Unidimensionally measurable disease allowed for mediastinal lymphoma only if
outside previously irradiated field or there is evidence of progression Received prior
monoclonal antibody therapy OR ineligible for monoclonal antibody therapy A new
classification scheme for adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been adopted by PDQ. The
terminology of "indolent" or "aggressive" lymphoma will replace the former terminology of
"low", "intermediate", or "high" grade lymphoma. However, this protocol uses the former
terminology.
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS: Age: 18 and over Performance status: ECOG 0-2 Life expectancy:
Not specified Hematopoietic: Absolute neutrophil count at least 1,000/mm3 Platelet count
at least 50,000/mm3 Hemoglobin at least 8 g/dL Hepatic: Bilirubin no greater than 1.5
times upper limit of normal (ULN) AST and ALT no greater than 1.5 times ULN Albumin at
least 3.0 g/dL No chronic hepatitis Renal: Creatinine less than 1.8 mg/dL Cardiovascular:
No New York Heart Association class III or IV heart disease No poorly controlled
hypertension Other: Not pregnant or nursing Negative pregnancy test Fertile patients must
use effective contraception HIV negative No serious concurrent illness or active infection
requiring parenteral antibiotics that would preclude study No known hypersensitivity to
study drug or its components, including diphtheria toxin, interleukin-2, or excipients No
other malignancy within the past 5 years except resected basal or squamous cell skin
cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix (prostate cancer in situ or breast cancer in
situ within the past 5 years is allowed if patients are in complete remission with no
active disease, have stable tumor markers for at least 3 months, and have a life
expectancy of at least 2 years)
PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY: Biologic therapy: See Disease Characteristics Prior bone marrow
transplantation allowed No prior denileukin diftitox or DAB486 IL-2 No concurrent
immunotherapy Chemotherapy: No concurrent chemotherapy Endocrine therapy: No concurrent
hormonal anticancer therapy Radiotherapy: See Disease Characteristics At least 4 weeks
since prior radiotherapy No prior radiotherapy to sole site of disease unless evidence of
progression No concurrent radiotherapy Surgery: Not specified Other: At least 1 month
since prior investigational agent No other concurrent experimental medications, including
approved drugs tested in an investigational setting
