About this study

Official title: Thalidomide, Cyclophosphamide, Oral Idarubicin and Dexamethasone (T-CID) as Induction Therapy and a Randomized Trial of Thalidomide vs Thalidomide Plus Oral Idarubicin as Maintenance Therapy in Patients With Multiple Myeloma

Background: In some studies, thalidomide in combination with chemotherapy has been shown to be effective in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM). In this study, the researchers have chosen a regimen which can be administered on an outpatient basis.

Induction therapy: To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of thalidomide, cyclophosphamide, oral idarubicin and dexamethasone (T-CID) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Maintenance therapy: Randomized trial to compare efficacy and toxicity of thalidomide and thalidomide plus oral idarubicin as maintenance therapy in patients with at least stable disease after T-CID.

Read the detailed description

Background: In some studies, thalidomide in combination with chemotherapy has been shown to be effective in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM). In this study, the researchers have chosen a regimen which can be administered on an outpatient basis.

After 3-8 cycles of T-CID patients with at least stable disease will be randomized to receive thalidomide or thalidomide plus oral idarubicin as maintenance therapy for at least one year or until progression.

Being tested
thalidomide, idarubicin

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Induction therapy: response rate, overall survival, death rate

  2. Maintenance therapy: progression-free survival, overall survival, number of patients discontinuing therapy due to toxicity

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Induction therapy: number of patients discontinuing therapy due to toxicity, number of patients experiencing toxicity grade 3 or 4

  2. Maintenance therapy: dose intensity, number of patients experiencing toxicity grade 3 or 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing thalidomide and idarubicin in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by University Hospital, Bonn at 1 site in Germany.

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 10 inclusion and 15 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2010. 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Axel Glasmacher, MD (+49-228-287-15507, glasmacher@uni-bonn.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Induction therapy: response rate, overall survival, death rate. 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 2 Feb 2010.
