About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Depsipeptide in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Drugs used in chemotherapy such as FR901228 use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of FR901228 in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of depsipeptide in patients with refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma (MM).

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive FR901228 (depsipeptide) IV over 4 hours on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve a stable plateau (stable paraprotein levels or urine protein excretion over 3 consecutive determinations at least 4 weeks apart) may receive maintenance therapy comprising FR901228 IV on days 1 and 15, with courses repeating every 28 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 21-50 patients will be accrued for this study within 5-12.5 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response rate (complete response [CR] or partial response [PR])

    Measured: Up to 8 years

  2. Event free survival

    Measured: Up to 8 years

Secondary outcomes (2)

    Measured: Up to 8 years

  2. Immunochemistry parameters

    This analysis will be descriptive and will compare patterns of gene and phenotype expression pre and post therapy.

    Measured: Up to 8 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Romidepsin and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with DS Stage II Plasma Cell Myeloma and DS Stage III Plasma Cell 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 18 inclusion and 10 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 17 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 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?

Response rate (complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) (time frame: Up to 8 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Mar 2015.
