About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multi-Center Phase 2 Trial of Denosumab in the Treatment of Relapsed or Plateau-Phase Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this study is to determine if denosumab is effective in the treatment of relapsed or plateau-phase multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

Patients who have relapsed myeloma have failed treatment regimens and have had disease progression following their last treatment regimen. Despite newer salvage therapies, their treatment options are limited and may include best supportive care and investigational therapy. Patients with plateau-phase myeloma have a stabilized serum M-protein level without further tumor regression despite continued treatment. Recent evidence suggests that their prognosis might improve with further reduction in serum M-protein or prolongation of time to disease progression (TTP). These patients are candidates for investigational agents that could further reduce tumor burden or increase TTP.

What participants receive

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

  • DENOSUMABDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete Response or Partial Response Based on M-Protein Assessments Only

    Complete response or partial response based on serum M-Protein assessments. Complete response is defined as absence of original M-protein in serum by immunofixation, and partial response is defined as ≥ 50% reduction from baseline in serum M-protein, both maintained for a minimum of 6 weeks.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Complete Response, Partial Response or Minimal Response Based on M-Protein Assessments Only

    Complete response, partial response or minimal response based on serum M-protein assessments. Complete and partial responses are as defined for the primary outcome measure. Minimal response is defined as 25 to 49% reduction from baseline in serum M-protein level, maintained for a minimum of 6 weeks.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

  2. Complete Response Based on M-Protein Assessments Only

    Complete response based on M-protein assessments, as defined for the primary outcome measure.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing DENOSUMAB in people with Relapsed or Plateau-Phase Multiple Myeloma, run by Amgen.

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 4 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 15 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Jan 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Complete Response or Partial Response Based on M-Protein Assessments Only (time frame: Up to 18 months). 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 NCT00259740, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Mar 2017.
