Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell NeoplasmPhase 2NCT00054158
Combination Chemotherapy and Thalidomide in Treating Patients With Stage I, Stage II, or Stage III Multiple Myeloma
A Phase 2 study testing dexamethasone, doxorubicin hydrochloride and thalidomide in people with Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Combining chemotherapy with thalidomide may kill more cancer cells. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase II Study of VAD (Vincristine, Adriamycin, Dexamethasone) Plus Thalidomide (Low Dose) as Frontline Therapy for Newly Diagnosed Patients With Multiple Myeloma (MM)
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Combining chemotherapy with thalidomide may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and thalidomide in treating patients who have newly diagnosed stage I, stage II, or stage III multiple myeloma.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the overall response rate in patients with newly diagnosed stage I, II, or III multiple myeloma treated with vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone, and low-dose thalidomide.
- Determine the ability to collect peripheral blood stem cells in patients after treatment with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label, nonrandomized study.
Patients receive vincristine IV and doxorubicin IV continuously on days 1-4 and oral dexamethasone on days 1-4, 9-12, and 17-20. Patients also receive low-dose oral thalidomide daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 4-6 courses in the absence of disease progression.
Patients are followed until disease progression or bone marrow transplantation.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 17-37 patients will be accrued for this study.
- Being tested
- dexamethasone, doxorubicin hydrochloride, thalidomide, vincristine sulfate

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing dexamethasone, doxorubicin hydrochloride and thalidomide in people with Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute 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?
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 3 Oct 2022. 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.
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 3 Oct 2022.
