Trial Description

Summary

BBR 2778 is a novel aza-anthracenedione that has activity in experimental tumors and shows reduced potential for cardiotoxicity in animal models. This cytotoxic agent has structural similarities with mitoxantrone as well as general similarities with anthracyclines (such as the tricyclic central quinoid chromophore).

The objectives of this study are to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of BBR2778 to a selection of single agents.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically confirmed aggressive [de novo or transformed] NHL according to REAL/WHO classification.
  • At least one objectively measurable lesion as demonstrated by CT, spiral CT, or MRI and plain radiograph of the chest (chest x-ray, for chest lesions only) that can be followed for response as target lesion.
  • Relapse after 2 or more prior regimens of chemotherapy
  • ECOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2
  • Adequate hematologic, renal and hepatic function
  • LVEF ≥50% determined by MUGA scan

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior treatment with a cumulative dose of doxorubicin or equivalent exceeding 450 mg/m²
  • Prior allogenic stem cell transplant
  • Histological diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma or Mantle cell lymphoma
