Official title: Dose-finding Study of Lenalidomide as Maintenance Therapy in Multiple Myeloma After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

This study is a Phase I (non-randomized) study evaluating three dose-levels of Lenalidomide in patients after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, accomplished in two institutions (University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf/ University Medical Center Heidelberg).

What participants receive

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

  • Revlimid (Lenalidomide)Drug

    3 pat. will be enrolled on dose level 0. If no DLTs are observed during cycles 1+2 dose will be escalated to the next higher level in the 3 patients. If 1 of 3 pat. experiences DLT at the current dose, then up to 3 more pat. will be accrued at the same level. If none of these 3 additional pat. experience DLT dose will be escalated in subsequent patients. If 1 of these 3 patients experiences DLT, the next lower level will be declared to be MTD and the study will be filled up with patients at this dose level up to 25 pat. overall.

    If 2 or more of 3 pat. or 3 or more of 6 pat. in the same cohort encounter DLT, the MTD has been exceeded and the previous lower dose level will be declared as MTD and the study will be filled up with patients at this level up to 25 pat. overall.

    If DLT is observed in level 0, the next dose level will be -1 for the following cohort of 3 patients. If level 2 is well tolerated without DLT, this level will be claimed as recommended dose for further trials.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximal tolerable dose of lenalidomide after allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma

    Measured: 2 years post-transplantation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Determination of remission status after lenalidomide treatment

    Measured: 2 years post-transplantation

  2. Effect on T-cell/ NK-cell recovery

    Measured: 1 year post-transplantation

  3. Incidence of infectious complications and GvHD

    Measured: 1 year post-transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Revlimid (Lenalidomide) in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf at 2 sites in Germany.

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 16 inclusion and 6 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 13 May 2015. 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 Germany. 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 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?

Maximal tolerable dose of lenalidomide after allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma (time frame: 2 years post-transplantation). 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 NCT00778752, 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 13 May 2015.
