Trial summary

RATIONALE: Everolimus 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.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of RAD001 in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

RATIONALE: Everolimus 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.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well everolimus works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To assess the response rate in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma treated with everolimus.

Secondary

  • To evaluate the toxicity of everolimus in patients with multiple myeloma.
  • To study the tumor cells and blood from patients entering this trial for laboratory correlates.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral everolimus once daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo bone marrow aspirate, biopsy, and blood sample collections periodically. Samples are assessed for the following: cyclin D1, phospho-AKT, phospho-p70 S6 kinase, and phospho-S6 by western blot; checkpoint regulators PTEN, p53, pRB, and p27 by immunoblotting; p53, Rb, p16, PTEN, p27, and cyclin D1 by DNA analysis; caspases 3 and 9 by immunoblotting and Annexin/PI by flow cytometry; unknown molecular markers by protein profiling; and microvessel density.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3-6 months for up to 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing everolimus, DNA analysis and protein analysis 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?

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 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?

Confirmed response (complete response, very good partial response, partial response, or minimal response) of serum and urine monoclonal protein. 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.
