  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • male or female and at least 18 years-of-age histologically confirmed diagnosis of myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM). This includes patients with agnogenic myeloid metaplasia (also known as idiopathic myelofibrosis) and patients with a preceding history of polycythemia vera or essential thrombocytemia (also known as post-polycytemic myelofibrosis). (see Appendix A) patients with low, intermediate and high risk disease categories (following the Dupriez score) may be included presence of measurable, clinically relevant disease manifestations (especially for low risk patients) ECOG performance status of 0, 1 or 2 life expectancy of at least 3 months Women of childbearing potential must use a medically acceptable form of contraception during the study and must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days of randomization written informed consent

Who cannot join

  • diseases associated with secondary myelofibrosis, such as metastatic carcinoma, lymphoma, myelodysplasia, hairy cell leukemia, mast cell disease, acute leukemia (including M7 disease or acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis) presence of the chromosomal translocation t(9:22) or molecular BCR/ABL rearrangement as detected by RT-PCR in bone marrow or peripheral blood any anti-myelofibrosis drug therapy during the last 4 weeks. This includes chemotherapy, androgens, steroids, thalidomide, hematopoietic growth factors or any other investigational drug patients that have received bisphosphonates in the previous 3 months known allergy or intolerance to bisphosphonates abnormal renal function as evidenced by: a calculated creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min (creatinine clearance (CrCl) is calculated using the Cockcroft and Gault formula) (see Appendix F) corrected serum calcium < 8.0 mg/dL . Corrected serum calcium (mg/dl) = measured calcium (mg/dl) + 0.8[4 - patient serum albumin (g/dl)] patients with nonmalignant conditions which would confound the evaluation of the primary endpoint, impair tolerance of therapy, or prevent compliance to the protocol, including: uncontrolled infections uncontrolled type 2 Diabetes Mellitus diseases with influence on bone metabolism such as Paget's disease or uncontrolled thyroid or parathyroid dysfunction cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, pulmonary and neurologic/psychiatric diseases which would prevent prolonged follow-up current active dental problems including infection of the teeth or jawbone (maxilla or mandibula); dental or fixture trauma, or a current or prior diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the jaw, of exposed bone in the mouth, or of slow healing after dental procedures recent (within 6 weeks) or planned dental or jaw surgery (e.g. extraction, implants) patients with a history of non-compliance to medical regimens and patients who are considered potentially unreliable and/or not cooperative patients treated with any systemic investigational drug within the past 4 weeks or topical investigational drug within the past 7 days pregnant or breast feeding females

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multicentre Phase II Trial of Zoledronic Acid in Patients With Myelofibrosis With Myeloid Metaplasia (MMM)

In this trial, the question is addressed if zoledronic acid (Zometa, Novartis Pharma)could be of clinical benefit for patients with myelofibrosis and myeloid metaplasia (MMM).

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multicentre phase II study in adult patients with documented MMM and requiring therapy for their disease. Patients will be treated every 3 weeks with 4 mg zoledronic acid (Zometa), administered by a 15 min. intravenous infusion. Study duration is 36 weeks (12 infusions). After the study it is recommended to continue treatment until disease progression, or the occurrence of unacceptable treatment-related toxicity.

Objectives of the trial are:

Primary objectives: the effect of monthly infusion of zoledronic acid 4 mg on:

hemoglobin level, spleen size

Secondary objectives the effect of monthly infusion of zoledronic acid 4 mg on: red blood cell transfusion need performance status constitutional symptoms leukocyte count thrombocyte count bone marrow fibrosis serum LDH

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing zoledronic acid in people with Myelofibrosis and Myeloid Metaplasia, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 6 sites in 6 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 9 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Israel and 1 more country. 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?

effect of monthly zoledronic acid infusion on hemoglobin level and spleen size (time frame: 36 weeks). 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 9 Dec 2014.
