About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Trial of Combination CCI-779 (Temsirolimus) and Bortezomib (Velcade) in Relapsed and/or Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety of CCI-779 (Temsirolimus) and bortezomib (Velcade), and the highest dose of this drug that can be given to people safely. We will also be looking at how the combination of the two drugs may work against multiple myeloma. CCI-779 (Temsirolimus) is a drug that appears to stop myeloma cells from growing.

Read the detailed description
  • Since we are looking for the highest dose of CCI-779 (Temsirolimus) given in combination with bortezomib (Velcade) that can be given to people without causing the most serious or unmanageable side effects, not everyone who participates in this study will be receiving the same amount of either drug.
  • During the study treatment, participants will be given some medications to decrease the chance they they will have an allergic reaction to CCI-779 (Temsirolimus). After these drugs are given, participants will be receive bortezomib (Velcade) by injection followed by an injection of CCI-779 (Temsirolimus). These drugs wil be given once a week for four weeks (on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22). On the fifth week (Day 29), participants will be given only CCI-779 along with the drugs to decrease the chance of an allergic reaction.
  • The cycle will last 35 days and will occur twice before the doctor evaluates for response. The cycles will be repeated for up to 8 cycles as long as the participant does not have any severe or unmanageable side effects and the disease is responding to treatment.
  • While receiving study treatment, participants will be seen at the clinic at the start of each cycle for the following: complete physical examination, blood work, urine collection, x-ray of bones (if study doctor deems necessary) and an electrocardiogram (prior to treatment and at the end of treatment)
  • A bone skeletal survey will be performed at the end of treatment to measure the size of the participants tumors.
  • After 8 cycles of treatment or if the participant has ended treatment, more tests will be performed. A physical exam, blood work, urine collection, skeletal survey, electrocardiogram, bone marrow biopsy and aspirate will be performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing CCI-779 and Bortezomib in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 3 sites 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 5 inclusion and 10 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 11 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 3 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 May 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Toxicity. Number of Patients With Specific Toxicities Are Reported. (time frame: 10 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00483262, 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 11 Nov 2013.
