Venetoclax, Carmustine, Etoposide, Cytarabine, and Melphalan Before Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
United States19 participantsStarted 2018-09-10
Plain-language summary
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax when given together with carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan before stem cell transplant in treating participants with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as venetoclax, carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant helps kill any cancer cells that are in the body and helps make room in the patient?s bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Subjects must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of non-Hodgkin?s lymphoma that has relapsed, or is refractory, after upfront induction therapy. Excluded histologies are T-cell lymphomas, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. All other histologies are eligible that include but not limited to: diffuse-large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma (grades I, II, and III), marginal zone lymphoma, transformed indolent lymphoma, grey zone lymphoma, and undifferentiated B-cell lymphoma. Patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) who are at high risk of relapse can be enrolled in sustained partial response (PR) after induction chemotherapy (PR1)
* Expected survival of more than six months
* Karnofsky performance status \>= 80%
* Within 1 week prior to initiation of treatment: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \< 3 x upper limits of normal (ULN) unless due to disease
* Within 1 week prior to initiation of treatment: Total bilirubin \< 2 x ULN unless due to disease
* Within 1 week prior to initiation of treatment: Calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 30 ml/min
* Within 1 week prior to initiation of treatment: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 500 cells/mm\^3
* Within 1 week prior to initiation of treatment: Platelet count \> 50 mm\^3
* Left ventricular ejection fraction \>= 40%
* Diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide …
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
