Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium contains a radioactive substance that kill cancer cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Dose Escalation Study Assessing the Toxicity and Efficacy of 153-Samarium-EDTMP in Place of TBI in the Conditioning Regimen for PBSCT for Patients With Multiple Myeloma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium contains a radioactive substance that kill cancer cells. Peripheral blood stem cell transplant using stem cells from the patient may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy and radioactive drugs used to kill cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium when given together with high-dose melphalan in treating patients with multiple myeloma undergoing stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To find the maximum tolerated dose of samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium when given with fixed high-dose melphalan as a conditioning regimen for autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma. (Phase I)
  • To assess the response rates of this regimen in these patients. (Phase II)

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium followed by a phase II study.

  • Phase I: Patients receive samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium IV once between days -14 and -10. Patients also receive melphalan IV on day -1. Patients undergo peripheral blood stem cell transplantation on day 0. Patients receive sargramostim (GM-CSF) subcutaneously once daily beginning on day 6 and continuing until blood counts recover.
  • Phase II: Patients receive samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium at the MTD determined in phase I .

Blood samples are collected periodically to determine clearance of samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium and bone marrow dosimetry.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing sargramostim, melphalan and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in people with Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by Mayo Clinic.

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 8 inclusion and 12 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 16 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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 toxicity incidents (Phase I). 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?
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 16 May 2011.
