Trial summary

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving bortezomib after an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant may stop the growth of any cancer cells that remain after transplant. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Bortezomib During Maintenance Phase After High Dose Melphalan and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Multiple Myeloma

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving bortezomib after an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant may stop the growth of any cancer cells that remain after transplant.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib in treating patients with multiple myeloma who have undergone an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib during maintenance phase after high-dose melphalan and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma.
  • Determine the safety and tolerability of bortezomib in these patients.

Secondary

  • Determine the overall response rate, complete response rate, and response duration in patients treated with bortezomib at the MTD.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-finding study.

Patients receive bortezomib IV on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Treatment repeats every 21 or 28 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive de-escalating doses of bortezomib (at varying dosing schedules) 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. At least 6 patients are treated at the MTD.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 24 patients will be accrued for this study.

    Dose of Bortezomib* Level 1: 1.3 mg/m2 on Day 1, 4, 8, 11 - Every 21 days; Level 2: 1.3 mg/m2 on Day 1, 4, 8, 11 - Every 28 days; Level 3: 1.0 mg/m2 on Day 1, 8, 15 - Every 28 days; Level 4: 1.0 mg/m2 on Day 1, 8, 15 - Every 35 days

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BortezomibExperimentalBortezomib is administered as a 5 second IV bolus on days 1, 4, 8,11 or 1,8 and 15 of a 21-35 days cycle (Depending on the Dosing schedule). The dosage will be calculated based on actual weight of the patient unless the actual weight is greater than 40% above the ideal body weight. In this instance the dosage will be based on the adjusted ideal body weight. The Adjusted IBW (kg) = IBW + 0.25 x (actual body weight - IBW). The dosage will be adjusted based on the safety and toxicity profile, until a MTD is determined.
Receives: Drug: bortezomib

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing bortezomib in people with Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by Barbara Ann Karmanos 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 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 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?

Maximum tolerated dose (time frame: At course 8). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Nov 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
