About this study

Official title: A Dose Escalation of Zarnestra (R115777) Combined With Velcade® (PS-341) in Patients With Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

In Phase I, patients will receive a combination of PS-341 (Velcade) and R115777 (Zarnestra) to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT). Once DLT is determined, patients in Phase II will be receive the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) to complete 8 cycles of therapy. Treatment will continue if there is evidence of continued response for 8 cycles. Patients will receive follow up to include normal laboratory evaluations at least every 3 months and a skeletal survey will be performed at least every 6 months.

Read the detailed description

In Phase I, patients will receive intravenous PS-341 (Velcade) and 3 different dose levels of oral R115777 (Zarnestra). Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) will be determined over a period of one cycle and dose escalation to the next level will not occur until all patients projected at each level complete one cycle of therapy. Once DLT is determined, patients in Phase I and all patients enrolled for the phase II component will be treated at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) to complete 8 cycles of therapy. Treatment will continue beyond 8 cycles if there is evidence of continued response. The study regimen will consist of two weeks of treatment followed by one week off for a total cycle duration of three weeks. If disease stabilization occurs (noted on 2 consecutive cycles) after the standard 8 cycles are given, treatment will be discontinued.

Patients are to be monitored for adverse events throughout the treatment phases and for a minimum of 30 days after their last dose of drugs. Follow up will include history and physical exam with laboratory evaluation at least every 3 months. Laboratories will include CMP, CBC, SPEP, UPEP, and quantitative immunoglobulins. A skeletal survey will be performed at least every 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing PS-341 and R11577 in people with Multiple Myeloma, 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 17 inclusion and 23 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Initial Principal Investigator left Moffitt). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) (time frame: Average of 6 months). The study lists 4 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 25 Nov 2013.
