No increase in the size or number of lytic bone lesions (development of a compression fracture does not exclude response).

About this study

Official title: An Evaluation of Bortezomib (VelcadeR ) Followed by High-Dose Melphalan and Bortezomib (VelcadeR) as Conditioning Regimen for Tandem Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplants in Patients With Primary Refractory Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Leukemia

The primary objectives of this study are to:

  • To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib in combination with high-dose melphalan as a conditioning regimen.
  • To determine the safety, tolerability, and response rates of bortezomib given in combination with high-dose melphalan, as a conditioning regimen, for tandem transplants in patients with primary refractory multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia.

The secondary objectives of this study are to:

  • To determine gene expression profiles (pharmacogenomics) and perform RTPCR for Fanconi anemia pathway genes, prior to and after treatment with bortezomib, in patients with primary refractory multiple myeloma and plasma cell leukemia and correlate profiles with responses to treatment.
  • To determine the time to disease progression and overall survival in patients with primary refractory multiple myeloma and plasma cell leukemia treated with bortezomib followed by tandem autologous transplantation
  • To determine the response rates of 2 cycles of bortezomib in patients with primary refractory multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia
Read the detailed description

Patients with primary refractory multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia either newly diagnosed or previously treated will receive 2-cycles of standard dose bortezomib followed by high-dose melphalan and bortezomib as a conditioning regimen prior to a tandem autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). Following treatment with two cycles of standard dose bortezomib, sequential cohorts of patients will be given escalating bortezomib doses combined with standard and constant conditioning regimen doses of melphalan. Once the MTD of bortezomib is reached, that dose will be administered in combination with melphalan as conditioning prior to PBSCT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bortezomib, Melphalan and PBSCT in people with Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Leukemia, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research 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?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 18 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 6 Mar 2017. 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 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 24 Oct 2013). 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?

Overall Survival (OS) (time frame: 40 months post transplant). 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 6 Mar 2017.
