Trial summary

RATIONALE: Paricalcitol may cause multiple myeloma cells to look more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly. Paricalcitol may also stop the growth of the cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Zoledronate may delay or prevent bone metastases in patients with multiple myeloma.

About this study

Official title: An Open Label Dose Escalation Study of Intravenous Paricalcitol (ZEMPLAR™) [19-NOR-1 ALPHA, 25 - (OH)D] With Zoledronic Acid (Zometa™) in Patients With Multiple Myeloma

RATIONALE: Paricalcitol may cause multiple myeloma cells to look more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly. Paricalcitol may also stop the growth of the cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Zoledronate may delay or prevent bone metastases in patients with multiple myeloma. Giving paricalcitol together with zoledronate may be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma or other plasma cell disorders.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of paricalcitol when given with zoledronate in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma or other plasma cell disorders.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of paricalcitol when used with zoledronate in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma or other plasma cell disorders.

Secondary

  • Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the antimyeloma activity of paricalcitol in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-escalation study of paricalcitol.

Patients receive paricalcitol IV over 15 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 and zoledronate IV over 15 minutes on day 22. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of paricalcitol until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing paricalcitol and zoledronic acid in people with Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by Roswell Park 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?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2013. 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 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.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Withdrawn due to low accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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.

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 1 Feb 2013.
