About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of PS-341 for Patients With High-Risk, Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

This phase II trial studies how well bortezomib works in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the response rate to PS-341 (bortezomib) induction in patients with high risk, newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate progression free survival. II. To explore the response rate of patients who relapse or progress on maintenance and then return to induction schedule.

III. To explore duration of second response.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To explore a possible differential response to PS-341 with previously described adverse prognostic indicators.

II. To explore specific gene expression profiles (GEP) that may predict response to therapy to an agent or combination of agents used in the treatment of newly diagnosed myeloma.

III. To explore specific post-treatment gene expression profiles (GEP) in the patients who have received 4 cycles of therapy and achieved a minimal response or better.

IV. To develop relevant information about the immune system for multiple myeloma patients treated with PS-341.

OUTLINE:

INDUCTION TREATMENT: Patients receive bortezomib intravenously (IV) on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

MAINTENANCE TREATMENT: Patients who complete induction treatment without progressive disease receive bortezomib IV on days 1 and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

REINDUCTION TREATMENT: Patients who progress while on maintenance treatment receive bortezomib IV on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 4 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate on Induction

    Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Myeloma Response Criteria that follows the standard European Group for Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant criteria was used to evaluate patient response and progression. Patients who have complete disappearance of an M-protein and no evidence of myeloma in the bone marrow are considered to have complete response. 42 eligible and treated patients were included in the analysis.

    Measured: participants were evaluated prior to each cycle, up to 8 cycles with a median number of 6 cycles. 1 cycle=21 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response Rate on Maintenance

    ECOG Myeloma Response Criteria that follows the standard European Group for Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant criteria was used to evaluate patient response and progression. Patients who have complete disappearance of an M-protein and no evidence of myeloma in the bone marrow are considered to have complete response. 15 eligible and treated patients were included in the analysis.

    Measured: participants were evaluated prior to each cycle, up to 45 cycles with a median number of 9 cycles. 1 cycle=21 days

  2. Response Rate on Reinduction

    ECOG Myeloma Response Criteria that follows the standard European Group for Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant criteria was used to evaluate patient response and progression. Patients who have complete disappearance of an M-protein and no evidence of myeloma in the bone marrow are considered to have complete response. 7 eligible and treated patients were included in the analysis.

    Measured: participants were evaluated prior to each cycle, up to 23 cycles with a median number of 3 cycles. 1 cycle=21 days

  3. 1-year Progression Free Survival Probability

    Progression-free survival is defined as time from randomization to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Disease progression is defined using the ECOG Myeloma Response Criteria. Kaplan-Meier method is used to estimate the 1-year progression-free survival probability. 42 eligible and treated patients were included in the analysis.

    Measured: Every 3 months if patient is <2 years from study entry, every 6 months if patient is 2-6 years from study entry, no specific requirment if patient is more than 6 years from study entry

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bortezomib and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Stage I Multiple Myeloma and Stage II 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 37 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 2 Jun 2014. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Sep 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 on Induction (time frame: participants were evaluated prior to each cycle, up to 8 cycles with a median number of 6 cycles. 1 cycle=21 days). 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 2 Jun 2014.
