Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Cyclophosphamide, Bortezomib and Dexamethasone (CYBOR-D) in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Active Multiple Myeloma

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

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying giving cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone together with bortezomib to see how well it works in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To evaluate the response rate (complete response [CR], near CR [nCR], and very good partial response) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma treated with bortezomib in combination with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone .

Secondary

  • Determine the overall response rate (partial response, PR, or better) in these patients after 4, 8, and 12 courses of this regimen.
  • Determine the duration of progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  • To evaluate the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  • To evaluate the ability to successfully collect peripheral blood stem cells from these patients after 4 months of this regimen.
  • To evaluate the CR or nCR rate in these patients after 8 and 12 courses of this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral cyclophosphamide on days 1, 8, 15, and 22; bortezomib IV on days 1, 4, 8 , and 11 OR days 1, 8, 15 and 22; and dexamethasone on days 1-4, 9-12, and 17-20 in courses 1 and 2 and days 1, 18, 15, and 22 in all subsequent courses. Courses repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Achieved a Confirmed Responses Defined as a Complete Response (CR), Near CR or Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) After the First 4 Months of Treatment

    Response that was confirmed on 2 consecutive evaluations during the first 4 months of treatment.

    Complete Response(CR): Complete disappearance of M-protein from serum and urine on immunofixation, normalization of Free Light Chain (FLC) ratio and <5% plasma cells in bone marrow.

    near Complete Response (nCR): Patients who meet all criteria for CR except a positive immunofixation will be classified as nCR.

    Very Good Partial Response(VGPR): >=90% reduction in serum M-component; Urine M-Component <100mg per 24hours; <=5% plasma cells in bone marrow.

    Measured: After 4 months of treatment

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from registration to progression or death due to any cause.

    Progression was defined as any one or more of the following:

    An increase of 25% from lowest confirmed response in:

    • Serum M-component (absolute increase >= 0.5g/dl)
    • Urine M-component (absolute increase >= 200mg/24hour
    • Difference between involved and uninvolved Free Light Chain levels (absolute increase >= 10mg/dl)
    • Bone marrow plasma cell percentage (absolute increase of >=10%)
    • Definite development of new bone lesion or soft tissue plasmacytomas

    Measured: up to 5 years

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from registration to death of any cause.

    Measured: From date of registration until death (up to 5 years)

  3. Number of Participants Who Responded to Treatment (Complete Response,CR; Near Complete Response, nCR; Very Good Partial Response, VGPR; or Partial Response, PR) After 4 Cycles

    Response that was confirmed on 2 consecutive evaluations after 8 months of treatment.

    CR, nCR and VGPR as defined in the primary outcome.

    Partial Response(PR): >=50% reduction in serum M-component and/or

    Urine M-Component >=90% reduction or <200mg per 24hours; or >=50% decrease in difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels.

    Measured: 4 cycles

  4. Duration of Response

    Duration of response was calculated from the documentation (date) of first response (CR, nCR, VGPR, or PR) until the date of progression or last follow-up in the subset of patients who responded.

    Measured: Duration of study (up to 12 cycles)

  5. Number of Participants Who Responded to Treatment (CR, nCR, VGPR or PR) After 8 Cycles

    Response that was confirmed on 2 consecutive evaluations after 8 cycles of treatment.

    Criteria for CR, nCR, VGPR and PR are defined in prior outcomes.

    Measured: After 8 cycles of treatment

  6. Number of Participants Who Responded to Treatment (CR, nCR, VGPR or PR) After 12 Cycles

    Response that was confirmed on 2 consecutive evaluations after 12 cycles of treatment.

    Criteria for CR, nCR, VGPR and PR are defined in prior outcomes.

    Measured: After 12 cycles of treatment

  7. Number of Participants With Severe Adverse Events

    Severe adverse events were defined as grade 3 or higher, regardless of attribution to study drugs. Adverse events were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 3.

    Measured: Every cycle during treatment (up to 12 cycles)

  8. Participants Who Successfully Completed Collection of Peripheral Blood Stem Cells for Transplant

    Evaluation of the ability to successfully collect peripheral blood stem cells following four months (cycles) of combination therapy.

    Measured: After 4 cycles of treatment

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 13 inclusion and 17 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 17 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States, Canada. 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 7 Dec 2010). 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?

Number of Participants Who Achieved a Confirmed Responses Defined as a Complete Response (CR), Near CR or Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) After the First 4 Months of Treatment (time frame: After 4 months of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00609167, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 17 May 2011.
