About this study

Official title: A Post Authorization Study, Designed to Learn More About the Safety and Efficacy of the Use of VELCADE (Bortezomib) in the Netherlands

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of the treatment of multiple myeloma with bortezomib in daily practice in the Netherlands.

Read the detailed description

Bortezomib has become commercially available in the European Union in May 2004 for the third line treatment of patients with multiple myeloma. The registration was based on two phase II studies while more research was ongoing. Some experience was already gained with the use of this product in the Netherlands by means of a compassionate use program before the initial registration. However, the data available from the use of bortezomib in daily clinical practice is limited. Therefore, there is a need to closely study the use of bortezomib in daily clinical practice. During the course of the study, the registration of bortezomib was extended. In April 2005, bortezomib was registered for second line treatment of multiple myeloma. Consequently, safety and effectiveness data from patients in this line of treatment could be collected in this project as well (arm A). Data of a large phase 3 trial showed that response rates differ between patients treated for multiple myeloma in the second line and patients treated in the third line. Therefore the protocol was amended to compare the response rates in two arms, dependent on the number of previous treatment lines for multiple myeloma: The protocol was also amended to determine the time to progression and response rate in both patients who received thalidomide earlier versus patients who didn't (arm B). ARM A: Patients with relapsed multiple myeloma who have received not more than 1 previous line of treatment and show progression on that therapy; ARM B: Patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least 2 prior lines of treatment and show progression on most recent therapy. This project is a 'post authorization study (PAS)'. This means that only routinely available medical data is collected, with the patients' permission, and no additional interventions or diagnostic procedures should be done specifically for this study. Because the study is observational, dosage, administration and duration of treatment is at discretion of treating physician.

Receives: Drug: bortezomib

What is being measured

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

  1. Response to treatment; determination of response, duration of response, determination of relapse/progression

    Measured: no timepoints are defined, as this is an observational study; data will be collected until three years after last bortezomib administration.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. bortezomib treatment schedule used

    Measured: each cycle

  2. combination therapies for multiple myeloma

    Measured: from start of bortezomib treatment up to 30 days after last bortezomib administration

  3. adverse events

    Measured: from start of bortezomib treatment up to 30 days after last bortezomib administration

  4. overall survival

    Measured: from end of bortezomib treatment up to 3 years after last bortezomib administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma and Hematological Neoplasms, run by Janssen-Cilag B.V. at 44 sites in Netherlands.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 14 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 44 sites in Netherlands. 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.

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 to treatment; determination of response, duration of response, determination of relapse/progression (time frame: no timepoints are defined, as this is an observational study; data will be collected until three years after last bortezomib administration.). 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 14 Jan 2014.
