About this study

Official title: A Phase III Trial of Dexamethasone, Cyclophosphamide, Etoposide, Cisplatin (DCEP) and G-CSF With or Without Thalidomide (NSC #66847) as Salvage Therapy for Patients With Refractory Multiple Myeloma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Thalidomide may stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without thalidomide for multiple myeloma.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with or without thalidomide in treating patients who have refractory multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the overall and progression-free survival and remission rates in patients with refractory multiple myeloma treated with dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, cisplatin, and filgrastim (G-CSF) with or without thalidomide. II. Compare the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of these regimens in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior transplantation (yes vs no), prior treatment failure (resistant vs relapsing), prior treatment regimens (1-2 vs 3-4), and prior thalidomide (no vs some). Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms. Arm I: Patients receive oral dexamethasone daily and cyclophosphamide, etoposide, and cisplatin (DCEP) IV continuously on days 1-4. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily beginning on day 5 and continuing until blood counts recover. Treatment continues every 3-4 weeks for 3 courses. Patients achieving stable disease or better proceed to maintenance chemotherapy with DCEP administered every 8 weeks for 3 additional courses. Arm II: Patients receive chemotherapy with DCEP as in arm I plus oral thalidomide daily. Thalidomide continues with maintenance chemotherapy and then continues after chemotherapy is completed until disease progression. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 320 patients will be accrued for this study within 4 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing filgrastim, cisplatin and cyclophosphamide in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network at 93 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 93 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: poor accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PFS (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005834.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Mar 2015.
