Trial summary

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as arsenic trioxide and melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

About this study

Official title: Phase I Clinical Trial of Dose Escalated Bortezomib + ATO (Arsenic Trioxide) + Melphalan as a Conditioning Regimen for Multiple Myeloma

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as arsenic trioxide and melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving high-dose combination chemotherapy together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with arsenic trioxide and melphalan in treating patients undergoing an autologous stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Evaluate toxicity of a conditioning treatment regimen comprising bortezomib, arsenic trioxide, and melphalan.

Secondary

  • Evaluate response and overall survival.
  • Determine what correlative laboratory and clinical parameters, if any, are associated with efficacy (e.g., serum arsenic trioxide intracellular glutathione depletion, gene profiling of myeloma cells).

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of bortezomib.

  • Conditioning regimen: Bortezomib will be given on days -6, -4, and -2, arsenic trioxide will be given on days -6, -5, -4, -3, and -2 (total of 5 doses), and melphalan will be given on day -2.
  • Stem cell infusion: On day 0 a minimum of autologous 2 x 10^6 CD34 cells/kg will be infused by central catheter.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically for at least 5 years.

Being tested
Arsenic trioxide, Bortezomib, Melphalan, Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Keywords
stage I multiple myeloma, stage II multiple myeloma, stage III multiple myeloma

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Arsenic trioxideDrug

    Also called ATO (As2O3)

    Arsenic Trioxide will be given on day -6, -5, -4,-3,-2 (total of 5 doses). The dose of Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is 0.25 mg/m2.

  • BortezomibDrug

    Also called Velcade, PS-341

    Bortezomib will be given on day -6, -4, -2 (total 3 doses) beginning at a dose of 0.8 mg/m2 each day of therapy.

  • MelphalanDrug

    Also called L-PAM, L-phenylalanine mustard, L-sarcolysin, Alkeran

    Melphalan will be given at 200 mg/m2 on day -2 (1 dose only)

  • Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantationBiological

    On day 0 a minimal of 2 x 106 CD 34 cells/kg will be infused by central catheter according to institutional standards.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Arsenic trioxide, Bortezomib and Melphalan in people with Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by University of Miami 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 20 inclusion and 14 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Dec 2016. 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 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.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Evaluate toxicity of the conditioning treatment regimen. (time frame: 3 ¼ years). 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 15 Dec 2016.
