About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Flavopiridol in Patients With Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of flavopiridol in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the response rate in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma treated with flavopiridol.

II. Determine the disease-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

III. Correlate disease response with t(11;14)(q13;q32) rearrangement, p16 methylation status, and BCRP expression in patients treated with this drug.

IV. Correlate disease response and drug treatment with cell cycle status and effects on apoptosis and apoptosis regulatory proteins in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive flavopiridol IV over 1 hour on days 1-3. Courses repeat every 21 days for up to 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 12 months, patients achieving at least a partial response may continue treatment in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 6 months for 1 year.

Treatment (flavopiridol)ExperimentalPatients receive flavopiridol IV over 1 hour on days 1-3.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Confirmed response (CR, VGPR, or PR) defined as a patient who has achieved response and maintained it on two consecutive evaluations at least 4 weeks apart.

    Ninety percent confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated assuming a binomial distribution.

    Measured: First 3 months of treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall survival time

    The distribution of survival time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: Time from registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 1 year

  2. Time to disease progression

    The distribution of time to progression will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: Time from registration to documentation of disease progression, assessed up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing alvocidib in people with Refractory Multiple Myeloma and Stage I Multiple Myeloma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 35 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Confirmed response (CR, VGPR, or PR) defined as a patient who has achieved response and maintained it on two consecutive evaluations at least 4 weeks apart. (time frame: First 3 months of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 16 Jan 2013.
