About this study

Official title: Velcade®, Thalidomide, Dexamethasone (VTD) Induction Therapy Followed By Melphalan, Prednisone, Thalidomide (MPT) Maintenance As a First Line Treatment For The Patients With Multiple Myeloma Who Are Non-Transplant Candidates

Multiple Myeloma is a incurable disease. Recently developed targeted therapy gave new hope for the patients with multiple myeloma. Velcade in combination with other agents are currently in trials for the newly diagnosed patient, we designed sequential treatment with VTD and MPT for the patients who are not transplant candidates. This would be expected to result in maximal tumor control, and thus, in maximal survival benefit, equivalent to high dose therapy with autologous transplantation in younger population

Read the detailed description

The two effective and non-cross resistant regimens, VTD and MPT, will be applied sequentially to the patients with multiple myeloma who are not transplant candidates. This would be expected to result in maximal tumor control, and thus, in maximal survival benefit, equivalent to high dose therapy with autologous transplantation in younger population

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Velcade 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 12 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 May 2008. 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?

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?

Response rate of VTD induction Therapy (time frame: 2008-02-01). 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 NCT00320476, 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 6 May 2008.
