  • Patient has signed informed consent.
  • Unless a female patient is post-menopausal or surgically sterilized, must be willing to use an acceptable method of birth control (hormonal contraceptive, intrauterine device, diaphragm, with spermicide, condom with spermicide, or abstinence) for the duration of the study.
  • Male patient must agree to use an acceptable method for contraception for the duration of the study.

  • Grade > or equal to 2 motor or sensory neuropathy as defined by the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI CTC):
  • Grade 2: Either mild objective weakness or objective sensory loss/parasthesia (including tingling) that interferes with function, but not interfering with ADLs.
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Grade 3: Objective weakness or sensory loss/parasthesia interfering with ADLs.
  • Grade 4: Paralysis or permanent sensory loss that interferes with function.
  • Myocardial infarction within 6 months of enrollment or New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure, uncontrolled angina, severe uncontrolled arrhythmias, or electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia.
  • For any patients whose lifetime cumulative doxorubicin dose exceeds 400 mg/m(2), patients with LVEF < or equal to 35% by MUGA are excluded. In other patients, MUGA is not required but if performed, LVEF must be > or equal to 35%.
  • Concurrent administration of liposomal doxorubicin, melphalan, and bortezomib (single or two drug combinations of these are permissable).
  • Less than 3 weeks since most recent chemotherapy or concurrent chemotherapy.
  • Use of corticosteroids (>10 mg prednisone/day or equivalent).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Liposomal Doxorubicin/Melphalan/Bortezomib in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 13 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2015. 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 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?

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?

--To evaluate the safety and tolerability of four dose levels of liposomal doxorubicin, melphalan, and bortezomib in patients with relapsed/refractory MM and to identify a maximum tolerated dose of this combination. (time frame: 6 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 4 Mar 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
