About this study

Official title: Phase III Study of Single Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation Followed by Maintenance Therapy as Front-line Treatment for Myeloma

The clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of single autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with standard conditioning of melphalan 200 mg/m2 followed by thalidomide maintenance in patients with newly-diagnosed myeloma after receiving 4-6 cycles of induction chemotherapy consisting of vincristin,adriamycin and dexamethasone (VAD) or thalidomide/dexamethasone between 18 to 65 years.

Read the detailed description

This is an open label clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of single autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. All patients will receive 4-6 cycles of induction therapy which includes VAD chemotherapy (vincristin, adriamycin and dexamethasone) or thalidomide/dexamethasone. After peripheral hematopoietic stem cell mobilization and apheresis, patients will receive a standard conditioning with melphalan 200mg/m2 followed by thalidomide maintenance therapy at 100-200mg orally daily starting from D+60 till disease progression or untolerable toxicity.

What participants receive

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

  • Single ASCT with Thalidomide maintenanceProcedure or surgery

    Single ASCT with Thalidomide maintenance:

    1. Single Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation: conditioning with Melphalan 200mg/m2 (iv)
    2. Thalidomide maintenance: starting from D60 after transplantation at 100-200mg daily (Oral)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Single ASCT with Thalidomide maintenance in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2016. 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 China. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

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?

response rate: CR/nCR/VGPR (time frame: 6 months after auto-PBSCT). 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 NCT00892346, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 10 May 2016.
