About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of PTK787/ZK222584 in Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not cancer cells in the body are affected by PTK and whether it affects the growth of these cells.

Read the detailed description

Patients will take PTK orally once a day for the duration of their time on the study. Each cycle of chemotherapy will last for 4 weeks.

Measurement of vital signs will be done weekly during the first month of treatment.

Physical exam, vital signs, blood work, a quality of life assessment, and x-ray or MRI wil be performed every 4 weeks.

Patients will remain on the study until their disease fails to respond to treatment or there are intolerable side effects. Typically treatment is performed for 12 weeks and up to one year in patients that are stable and responding.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the effectiveness of PTK in treating patients with relapsed or refractory myeloma

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To evaluate the progression free survival of patients treated with PTK

  2. to investigate the safety of PTK in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PTK787/ZK222584 in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Dana-Farber 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?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 21 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 21 Dec 2007. 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?

To determine the effectiveness of PTK in treating patients with relapsed or refractory myeloma. 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 21 Dec 2007.
