About this study

Official title: PS-341 (Bortezomib, Velcade®), Adriamycin and Dexamethasone (PAD) Combination Therapy Followed by Thalidomide With Dexamethasone (Thal/Dex) for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Prospective multicenter phase 2 study using PAD and Thal/Dex combination sequentially.

Read the detailed description

Although the overall survival was improved with the introduction of high dose therapy with autologous hematopoetic stem cell transplantation,it remains as a incurable disease. Most patients ultimately relapse. Recenlty, targeted therapy using novel agents, such as bortezomib and thalidomide, shows the possibility of improved in this situation. Among them, PAD (Velcade, Adriamycin,Dexamethasone) showed highest response rate. PAD does not show any cross resiatance with another effective combination, thalidomide plus dexamethasone.

We desined prospective multicenter phase 2 study using these combination sequentially.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Response rate of PAD induction Therapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response rate of PAD followed by Thal/Dex maintenance

  2. Progression free survival and Overall survival of PAD/Thal-Dex.

  3. To evaluate toxicities of PAD/Thal-Dex

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Velcade, Thalidomide and Adriamycin in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Korean Multiple Myeloma Working Party at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2006. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jae Hoon Lee, M.D. (82-32-460-2186, jhlee@gilhospital.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response rate of PAD induction Therapy. 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 27 Apr 2006.
