About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Trial of Combination of Lenalidomide (Revlimid, LEN) and Autologous Mature Dendritic Cells Pulsed With α-galactosyl Ceramide (α-GalCer; KRN7000) in Myeloma

This is a single arm open label trial to test the tolerability of the combination of monocyte derived DCs loaded with KRN7000 (DC-KRN7000) and Lenalidomide (LEN) in patients with asymptomatic myeloma. Phase I component of the study will evaluate the optimal dose of LEN, with particular emphasis on safety. After an interim analysis of these data, a single dose level will be chosen for phase II component in additional patients.

Conditions

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LenalidomideDrug

    Also called Revlimid, LEN

    10 mg/day in cohort 1, and 25 mg/day in cohort 2. LEN is administered orally in standard 21 day cycles starting one week before each DC injection and ending 14 days after each DC injection. All patients will receive a total of three cycles of LEN.

  • Monocyte derived DCs loaded with KRN7000Biological

    Also called α-galactosyl-ceramide, α-GalCer

    10 million DCs injected intravenously

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lenalidomide and Monocyte derived DCs loaded with KRN7000 in people with Myeloma, run by Yale University 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 18 inclusion and 11 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 21 Jun 2016. 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 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.

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 Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: upon completion 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 NCT00698776, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Jun 2016.
