About this study

Official title: Phase 1b Single Arm, Open Label, Multi-Center Study of Fluphenazine HCl Monotherapy in Relapsed or Relapsed-and-Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of fluphenazine in patients with advanced multiple myeloma. The study will also describe the efficacy of this drug.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, dose-escalating, Phase 1b trial in patients with relapsed or relapsed-and-refractory multiple myeloma. Patients will be dosed on Days 1 and 8 of each 21 day cycle.

This study will be conducted in two parts. In Part 1, the MTD determining portion of the study, patients will be enrolled in cohorts of 3 patients at each dose level. At least 3 patients will complete 21 days at each dose level and will be evaluated for safety and tolerability before additional patients are treated at higher doses. Doses will be increased following a modified Fibonacci scheme.

In Part 2, twelve additional patients will be enrolled at the MTD determined in Part 1 (or the dose for the highest dose cohort completed if the MTD has not been reached) to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of this dose regimen.

Serum fluphenazine pharmacokinetic studies will be performed during the first cycle of the therapy in all Part 1 and Part 2 consenting patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Fluphenazine HClDrug

    Also called Prolixin

    Fluphenazine HCl will be administered intravenously. To quickly reach and maintain the target bone marrow concentration for 18 hours, the study drug will be administered using 3 bolus injections (0, 6, and 12 hours). Fluphenazine will be dose-escalated according to a modified Fibonacci scheme, terminating in 40% increments. Treatments will be administered on days 1 and 8 of every 21 day cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tolerability of fluphenazine.

    Measured: 21 day treatment cycle(s)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in serum and urine M-protein or free light chain concentrations determined using protein electrophoresis.

    Measured: 21 day treatment cycle(s)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Fluphenazine HCl in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Immune Control at 3 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 15 inclusion and 15 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Stephen Roth, Ph.D. (610-941-2972, sroth@immunecontrol.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tolerability of fluphenazine. (time frame: 21 day treatment cycle(s)). 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 13 Jan 2009.
