About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Sunitinib (SU11248) in Multiple Myeloma

This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with relapsed multiple myeloma. Sunitinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the number of responses in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma treated with sunitinib (sunitinib malate).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the toxicity of sunitinib malate in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.

II. To assess time to progression after initial response to sunitinib malate.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily on days 1-42. Treatment repeats every 42 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3-6 months for up to 3 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Confirmed Responses (Complete Response [CR], Very Good Partial Response [VGPR], or Partial Response [PR])

    A confirmed response is defined as a patient who has achieved response and maintained it on two consecutive evaluations at least 2 weeks apart.

    A Complete Response (CR) is defined as the complete disappearance of an M-protein and fewer than 5% bone marrow plasmacytosis.

    A Hematologic Very good partial response (VGPR) is defined as having a ≥ 90% reduction of M-protein from serum, a Urine M-spike to be ≤ 100 mg/24 hours, and a disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas.

    A Partial Response (PR) is defined as having a 50-89% reduction in the level of the serum monoclonal protein, a reduction in 24-hour urinary light chain excretion either by ≥90% or to <200 mg, and a ≥ 50% reduction in size of soft tissue plasmacytoma.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks from the first initiation of therapy up to 72 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Event-free Survival

    The distribution of progression-free survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: Time from registration to progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  2. Duration of Response

    The distribution of duration of response will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: From the documentation of response until the date of progression

  3. Toxicity

    Assessed per National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0. Included are the toxicities at least possibly related to the study drug.

    Measured: From the time of first treatment to up to 30 days after the last day of study drug treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sunitinib malate in people with Refractory Multiple Myeloma and Stage I Multiple Myeloma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 22 inclusion and 19 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 28 May 2014. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Mar 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?

The Number of Confirmed Responses (Complete Response [CR], Very Good Partial Response [VGPR], or Partial Response [PR]) (time frame: Every 6 weeks from the first initiation of therapy up to 72 weeks). 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 28 May 2014.
