Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Amplimexon (imexon for injection) is effective in the treatment of indolent and aggressive lymphomas that have progressed after treatment with standard therapies.
Detailed description
A phase II exploratory trial of imexon in lymphoma is justified by: (1) the observation of clinical activity (partial response to the drug observed in phase I testing in a subject with refractory indolent lymphoma); (2) the finding that imexon prevents the development of human immunoblastic lymphoma in SCID mice; (3) the finding that lymphoma cell lines are killed by readily achievable doses; and (4) translational studies implicating the importance of the redox state of the cancer cell. The dose and schedule chosen (1000 mg/m2 daily X 5 days every 3 weeks) is based on tolerability and subject acceptance in prior AmpliMed phase I studies. The planned correlative studies should help to identify potential biomarkers for response to imexon and provide further insight into potential mechanisms of imexon action hypothesized from results of prior laboratory studies.

Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DRUG | Imexon | Amplimexon will be administered daily on Days 1-5 of 21-day treatment cycles as an intravenous infusion over a time course of 60 minutes. Subjects will receive 17 cycles of therapy for a total of one year on treatment. The Amplimexon starting dose for each subject in this study is 1000 mg/m² on each treatment day. Dose may be reduced by 25% for toxicity; after 2 dose reductions, subjects must be withdrawn from treatment. |
