About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Phase I Study of the Safety of and Efficacy of RAD001 in Combination With Lenalidomide in the Treatment of Subjects With Relapsed and Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this research study is to determine the highest dose of lenalidomide and RAD001 that can be given without causing too many serious side effects. Another goal of this research study is to look at how the participants cancer may respond to the study treatment. Additionally, we wish to learn more about how the body breaks down and gets rid of the study drugs. We will also try to find substances in the blood (biomarkers) that may help predict how myeloma will respond to study treatment.

Read the detailed description
  • Researchers are looking for the highest doses of RAD001 and lenalidomide used in combination that can be given safely so small groups of people will be enrolled in steps in this trial. The first group will be given a certain dose of RAD001 and a certain dose of lenalidomide. If they have few or manageable side effects, the next small group of people will be enrolled with a higher dose of RAD001 and/or a higher dose of lenalidomide. This will continue until the highest dose of the drugs used is determined.
  • Study treatment will be given in 28 day cycles. Both RAD001 and lenalidomide are pills that are taken orally. Both drugs will be started on the same day. RAD001 will be taken either every other day or every day for the first 3 weeks (days 1-21) of each 28-day cycle. Lenalidomide will be taken daily for the first 3 weeks (days 1-21) of each cycle.
  • Participants will come to the clinic weekly during the first cycle to monitor side effects. The following will be performed at these clinic visits: physical examination, medical history update, questionnaires, and blood work.
  • On cycles 2-8, participants will come to the clinic on Day 1 of each cycle. The following will be performed at this clinic visit: physical examination, medical history update, questionnaire, and blood word.
  • At the end of cycle 8, a skeletal survey, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy will be performed to check response to study treatment.
  • Participants may continue to receive RAD001 and lenalidomide beyond 8 cycles if their cancer does not get worse and they do not have unacceptable side effects.

What participants receive

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

  • RAD001Drug

    Dose levels will change: Taken orally either every other day for the first three weeks of each cycle or taken every day for the first three weeks of each cycle.

  • lenalidomideDrug

    Dose level will vary: taken orally 30-60 minutes after taking RAD001 every day for the first three weeks of each cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the safety of RAD001 when given in combination with lenalidomide and to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) as well as a recommended Phase 2 dose for the combination in this patient population.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To evaluate the response to the combination of RAD001 and lenalidomide in subjects with multiple myeloma.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. To determine the pharmacokinetics of RAD001 and lenalidomide.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. To identify possible surrogate markers to better define mechanisms of action for the combination of the two drugs.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RAD001 and lenalidomide in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Massachusetts General Hospital at 5 sites 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 9 inclusion and 25 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 11 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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?

To evaluate the safety of RAD001 when given in combination with lenalidomide and to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) as well as a recommended Phase 2 dose for the combination in this patient population. (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT00729638, 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 11 Aug 2014.
