Pivotal Phase II Multicenter Study of Vincristine Sulfate Liposomes Injection in Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma That is Refractory or Relapsed After Second-Line Combination Chemotherapy Revised Title Per 03/01 SR Pivotal Phase II Multicenter Study of Vincristine Sulfate Liposomes Injection in Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma That is Refractory to or Relapsed After Second-Line Combination Chemotherapy


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the complete and partial tumor responses in patients with aggressive
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is refractory to or relapsed after second-line combination
chemotherapy treated with vincristine sulfate liposomes injection.

- Determine the toxicity of this treatment regimen in these patients.

- Determine the duration of response, time to progression, and survival in patients
treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive vincristine sulfate liposomes IV over 1 hour. Treatment repeats every 2
weeks for a maximum of 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity.

Patients are followed every 8 weeks until disease progression.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
