About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Bortezomib (Velcade) After Allogenic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell or Bone Marrow Transplantation for Patients With Multiple Myeloma

Primary Objective:

  1. To determine the antimyeloma effect of bortezomib after allogeneic transplantation for patients with multiple myeloma.

Secondary Objective

  1. To determine the toxicity profile of bortezomib in patients with multiple myeloma undergoing allogeneic progenitor cell transplantation.
Read the detailed description

Bortezomib (velcade) is a new drug that works by blocking a structure in the cells called proteasome. This proteasome acts like a system that eliminates abnormal or old proteins from the cells. Cancer cells may be sensitive to drugs like bortezomib (velcade), because tumor cells have more abnormal proteins than normal cells. Bortezomib (velcade) enters the tumor cells and affects the way they divide. When cancer cells cannot divide, they die.

You will have blood (about 2 tablespoons) and bone marrow testing done about every 2-3 months to determine your response and tolerance to treatment. To collect a bone marrow sample, an area of the hip or chest bone is numbed with anesthetic and a small amount of bone marrow is withdrawn through a large needle.

You will receive bortezomib (velcade) as an infusion into a vein over 5-10 minutes twice a week for 2 weeks. You will then rest for 10 to 17 days. This 21-28 day period makes up 1 cycle. You will complete up to a total of 4 cycles. Courses 2 and 3 might be given under supervision of your local physician however the principal investigator will do necessary treatment dose adjustments and new set of treatment orders will be provided to your physician. Treatment evaluations will be under the supervision of the principal investigator.

You will have a physical exam and routine blood tests (about 2 tablespoons) before each dose of bortezomib (velcade). Blood (about 2 tablespoons) and urine tests to determine response to treatment will be performed once a month, as well as blood tests to look at side effects of treatment, will be performed at least once a week and more frequently if medically necessary.

You will be taken off study if the disease gets worse or intolerable side effects occur. You will be called every 3 months for at least 1 year after the last dose of bortezomib (velcade) to see how you are doing.

This is an investigational study. Bortezomib (velcade) is commercially available and indicated for the treatment of myeloma. A total of 28 patients will participate in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with Complete Response (CR)

    Response rate (CR), evaluated within 6 weeks of beginning treatment, assessed using The European Group for Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant/International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry (EBMT/IBMTR) response criteria of Complete Response (CR), Minimal Response (MR), No Change (NC), or Progressive Disease (PD).

    Measured: 6 weeks from beginning treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bortezomib in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 5 inclusion and 2 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 15 Sep 2011. 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 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?

Number of Participants with Complete Response (CR) (time frame: 6 weeks from beginning treatment). 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 Sep 2011.
