Study of Tipifarnib in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma

Overview

About this study

This Phase II studyis designed to investigate the antitumor activity in terms of objective response rate (ORR) of tipifarnib in 18 subjects with advanced Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL). The total number of patients could be extended to 30 pending on the degree of response observed at an interim analysis. Tipifarnib will be administered until disease progression then followed approximately every 12 weeks for survival until either death or 12 months after accrual of the last study subject, whichever occurs first.
