About this study

Autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation is now considered standard therapy in patients (< 65 ans) with multiple myeloma. The Intergroupe Francophone du Myelome conducted a randomised trial of the treatment of multiple myeloma with high dose chemotherapy followed by either one or two successive autologous stem cell transplantation. The probabilities of event-free-survival and overall survival were doubled with a double transplant. The benefits were greatest among patients who had not had a very good partial response to the first transplant.

The aim of this multicenter randomised trial in previously untreated patients with multiple myelome (stage II, III DS)is to assess the optimal timing of a second autologous stem-cell transplant.After a first-line therapy with thalidomide-dexamethasone followed by a PBSC collection, patients are randomly assigned to receive two autologous PBSC transplants (arm A)or one autologous PBSC transplant followed by a consolidation therapy with thalidomide-dexamethasone (arm B). Patients included in the arm B will receive a second transplant in case of disease progression on consolidation therapy, or in case of relapse in responders.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing autologous PBSC transplant in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Centre National de Greffe de Moelle Osseuse at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 27 Jan 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 Tunisia. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Overall survival (from randomistion) of the 2 groups at 5 years. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00207805, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Jan 2009.
