  • Patients has not a currently active malignancy, except non melanoma skin cancer and carcinoma in situ of the cervix. Patients should not be considered to have a currently active second malignancy if they have completed therapy for a prior malignancy and are disease free from prior malignancies for >5 years and are considered by their physicians to be at less then 30% risk of relapse
  • History of allergic reactions related to study drugs.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II, Multi-Center, Open Label Study of Vorinostat Plus Melphalan and Prednisone (ZMP) in Advanced, Refractory Multiple Myeloma Patients

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the association of ZMP is safe and provides benefits in patients with relapsed/refractory MM.

Being tested
Vorinostat

Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • VorinostatDrug

    Patients will start induction treatment with a standard dose of MP and escalating doses of Vorinostat:

    • Melphalan 0.18 mg/Kg for 4 days; Prednisone 1.5 mg/Kg for 4 days. Each cycle will be repeated every 28 days for a total of 6 courses
    • In the first part of the study, the standard oral MP will be combined with escalating doses of Vorinostat.

    Level -1 Vorinostat = 100 mg daily on days 1-21 Melphalan = 0.18 mg/kg on days 1 - 4 Prednisone = 1.5 mg/kg on days 1 - 4

    Level 0 Vorinostat = 200 mg daily on days 1-21 Melphalan = 0.18 mg/kg on days 1 - 4 Prednisone = 1.5 mg/kg on days 1 - 4

    Level +1 Vorinostat = 300 mg daily on days 1-21 Melphalan = 0.18 mg/kg on days 1 - 4 Prednisone = 1.5 mg/kg on days 1 - 4

    Level +2 Vorinostat = 400 mg daily on days 1-21 Melphalan = 0.18 mg/kg on days 1 - 4 Prednisone = 1.5 mg/kg on days 1 - 4

What is being measured

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

    Measured: 1 year

  3. A significant number of PR or higher (>40%) following the proposed ZMP therapy

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Duration of Progression Free Survival

    Measured: 5 Years

  2. Duration of Overall Survival

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Vorinostat in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Tiziana Marangon at 4 sites in Italy.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Italy. 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 was stopped early (reason given: The Phase I of the study was completed, but Phase 2 has not been activated). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The dose limiting toxicity (DLT)of Vorinostat with MP (time frame: one year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Sep 2017.
