The study consists in three parts. In Part A (induction phase I) patients will be treated with Chlorambucil 6 mg/m2 daily p.o for 42 consecutive days (weeks 1-6) in combination with intravenous Rituxi...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Histologically proven diagnosis of CD20-positive marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of MALT type either de novo, or relapsed following local therapy (including surgery, radiotherapy and antibiotics for H. pylori-positive gastric lymphoma) arisen at any extranodal site 1.1 The following patients with gastric MALT Lymphoma can be entered:
- H. pylori-negative cases, either de novo (non pre-treated) or at relapse following local therapy (i.e., surgery, radiotherapy or antibiotics).
- H. pylori-positive cases at diagnosis, who failed antibiotic therapy, including
- Patients with clinical (endoscopic) and histological evidence of disease progression at any time post H. pylori eradication
- Stable disease with persistent lymphoma at ≥ 1 year post H. pylori eradication
- Relapse (without H. pylori re-infection), after a remission
- Patients who failed either first line antibiotics or further local treatment (surgery or radiotherapy) 1.2 Similar consideration may be applied to patients with ocular adnexal lymphoma treated with antibiotics.
- Measurable or evaluable disease. Measurable disease in at least two perpendicular dimensions on an imaging scan is defined as: lymph node or nodal mass bi-dimensional measurement with \> 1.5 cm in longest transverse diameter or the short diameter must measure \> 10 mm regardless of the longest transverse diameter.
- Any stage (Ann Arbor I-IV) (see Appendix A)
- Age ≥ 18
- Life expectancy of at least 1 year
- ECOG performance status 0-2 (see Appendix B)
- Adequate bone marrow function (WBC \>3.0x109/L, ANC \>1.5x109/L, PLT \>100x109/L), unless due to lymphoma involvement
- Adequate kidney (serum creatinine \<1,5x upper normal) and liver function (ASAT/ALAT \<2,5 upper normal, total bilirubin \<2,5x upper normal), unless due to lymphoma involvement
- For women of childbearing potential only: negative serum pregnancy test done within 7 days prior to study drugs administration or within 14 days if with a confirmatory urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first study drugs administration
- Fertile male or female patients of childbearing potential and their partners must use two forms of contraception during the study and for at least 12 months after the last dose of subcutaneous rituximab.
- For appropriate methods of contraception considered acceptable, see Appendix C. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner are participating in this study and for 12 months after study participation, the patient should inform the treating physician immediately.
- Female patients of childbearing potential are defined as follows:
- Pre-menopausal women (patients with regular menstruation, patients after menarche with amenorrhea or irregular cycles, patients using a contraceptive method that precludes withdrawal bleeding
- Women who have had tubal ligation
- Female patients may be considered to NOT be of childbearing potential for the following reasons:
- The patient has undergone total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or bilateral oophorectomy
- The patient is medically confirmed to be menopausal (no menstrual period) for 24 consecutive months
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
Exclusion
- Evidence of histologic transformation to a high grade lymphoma
- Prior diagnosis of neoplasm within 5 years, except cervical intraepithelial neoplasia type 1 (CIN1) or localized non-melanomatous skin cancer
- Prior chemotherapy
- Prior immunotherapy with any anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody
- Prior radiotherapy in the last 6 weeks
- Use of corticosteroids during the last 28 days, unless prednisone chronically administered at a dose \<20 mg/day for indications other than lymphoma or lymphoma-related symptoms
- Evidence of clinically significant cardiac disease, as defined by history of symptomatic ventricular arrhythmias, congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction within 12 months before study entry
- Evidence of symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) disease
- Evidence of active opportunistic infections
- Known HIV infection
- Positive serology for Hepatitis B (HB) defined as a positive test for HBsAg. In addition, if negative for HBsAg but HBcAb positive (regardless of HBsAb status), a HBV DNA test will be performed and if positive the subject will be excluded
- Positive serology for hepatitis C (HC) defined as a positive test for HCAb, confirmed by HC RIBA immunoblot assay on the same sample.
- Pregnant or lactating status
- Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial
- Fertile men or women of childbearing potential who do not agree to use a highly effective measure of contraception (such as oral contraceptives, intrauterine device or barrier method of contraception in conjunction with spermicidal jelly or surgically sterile) throughout the study and for at least 12 months after the last dose of subcutaneous rituximab
