Status:
Completed
Trial end date:
2017-03-22
Target enrollment:
0
Participant gender:
All
Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies how well buparlisib works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement or has not responded to previous treatment. Buparlisib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

- NOTE: the highly effective contraception is defined as either:

- True abstinence: when this is in line with the preferred and usual

ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are
not acceptable methods of contraception

- Sterilization: have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or
without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks ago; in case
of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman
has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment

- Male partner sterilization (with the appropriate post-vasectomy
documentation of the absence of sperm in the ejaculate); for female
subjects on the study, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole
partner for that patient

- Use of a combination of any two of the following (a+b):

allowed

- Uncontrolled infection

- Average baseline of >= 4 stools per day

- Therapy with myelosuppressive chemotherapy or biologic therapy < 21 days prior to
registration unless the patient has recovered from the nadir of the previous treatment

(excluding monoclonal antibodies) =< 5 effective half-lives prior to registration or
who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy

- Received wide field radiotherapy =< 28 days or limited field radiation for palliation

of prednisone per day if they are being given for disorders other than lymphoma such
as rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica or adrenal insufficiency, or asthma

- Persistent toxicities >= grade 2 from prior chemotherapy or biological therapy
regardless of interval since last treatment

- Active cardiac disease including any of the following:
