Trial summary

This study will investigate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of Mircera in adult anemic patients with multiple myeloma. In the first stage of the study, patients will be randomized to receive subcutaneous injections of Mircera once every 3 weeks, at doses of 2.0, 3.5 or 5.0 micrograms/kg. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Open Label, Randomized, Exploratory Study to Investigate the Hemoglobin Dose-response, the Safety and the Pharmacokinetic Profile Following Subcutaneous Administration of Mircera Once Every Three Weeks to Anemic Patients With Multiple Myeloma

This study will investigate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of Mircera in adult anemic patients with multiple myeloma. In the first stage of the study, patients will be randomized to receive subcutaneous injections of Mircera once every 3 weeks, at doses of 2.0, 3.5 or 5.0 micrograms/kg. Following the administration of 2 doses, an evaluation of hemoglobin increase will be made at week 6. In the second stage, further groups of patients will receive additional doses of Mircera,at doses of 1.0, 6.5 or 8.0 micrograms/kg, depending on efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic considerations.The anticipated time on treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing C.E.R.A. in people with Anemia, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 5 sites in 2 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 1 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Poland, Czechia. 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 combined 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.

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?

Hemoglobin level, and change from baseline, at week 6. 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 1 Mar 2018.
