About this study

Official title: Bortezomib and Vorinostat as Maintenance Therapy After Autologous Stem Cell Transplant for Multiple Myeloma

This phase II trial studies the side effects of giving bortezomib together with vorinostat and to see how well it works in treating patients with multiple myeloma who have undergone autologous stem cell transplant. Bortezomib and vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving bortezomib together with vorinostat after an autologous stem cell transplant may stop the growth of any cancer cells that remain after transplant.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate the toxicity of the use of vorinostat and bortezomib as maintenance therapy after autologous transplant.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate the median time to disease progression.

II. Evaluate survival.

OUTLINE: Patients receive bortezomib intravenously (IV) on days 2 and 5 and vorinostat orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

Being tested
Bortezomib, Vorinostat

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Treatment (enzyme inhibitor therapy)ExperimentalPatients receive bortezomib IV on days 2 and 5 and vorinostat PO QD on days 1-14. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Receives: Drug: Bortezomib; Drug: Vorinostat

What is being measured

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

  1. Toxicity as Assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v3.0

    The first three months of therapy will be used as the time period in which toxicity will be evaluated and stopping rules for unacceptable toxicity will be implemented. Rules for stopping the study will be based on the rate of withdrawal due to significant toxicity (grade IV, non-hematological, non-metabolic, nonperipheral neuropathy).

    Measured: The first three months of therapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Disease Progression in Patients Who Progressed

    Patients will be followed for initial response to therapy and for progression of disease. Response criteria will be scored according to International Myeloma Working Group uniform response criteria.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Survival for All Patients

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Median Follow-up Survival for All Patients

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bortezomib and Vorinostat in people with DS Stage I Plasma Cell Myeloma and DS Stage II Plasma Cell Myeloma, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center 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 6 inclusion and 27 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 9 May 2017. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Toxicity as Assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v3.0 (time frame: The first three months of therapy). 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 9 May 2017.
