About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Vaccine Therapy for Multiple Myeloma Utilizing Idiotype-Pulsed Allogeneic Dendritic Cells

Patients with Multiple myeloma who have undergone non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant will receive 6 vaccinations of donor derived dendritic cells combined with specific protein produced by multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

To evaluate feasibility and safety of vaccination with allogeneic idiotype-pulsed dendritic cells following mixed chimeric allogeneic transplantation for multiple myeloma.

Being tested
Idiotype-pulsed allogeneic dendritic cells
Medical subject headings
Multiple Myeloma

What participants receive

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

  • Idiotype-pulsed allogeneic dendritic cellsBiological

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient will complete 4 vaccinations of monthly interval

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluation of immune response. Immune response analysis will be done on all patients who are enrolled in the study. Patients who completed a minimum of 4 vaccinations will be included in immune response.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Idiotype-pulsed allogeneic dendritic cells in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Stanford University 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 25 Aug 2009. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Patient will complete 4 vaccinations of monthly interval. 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 25 Aug 2009.
