About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Trial of Combination Plerixafor (AMD3100) and Bortezomib in Relapsed or Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety of plerixafor and bortezomib, and the highest dose that can be given to people safely. Plerixafor appears to stop myeloma cells from attaching to bone marrow and has been used in other phase I studies for mobilization of stem cells for patients with myeloma and lymphoma. We have shown that the combination of plerixafor and bortezomib is very effective in killing myeloma cells in the laboratory more than the effect of each drug alone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plerixafor Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) [Phase I]

    The MTD plerixafor in combination with bortezomib is determined by the number of patients who experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). See subsequent primary outcome measure for the DLT definition. The MTD is defined as highest dose level at which fewer than one-third of patients experience a DLT. The MTD was reached at dose level 5B. The maximum tolerated dose of plerixafor was given on days 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 13 of 21 each cycle.

    Measured: Participants were assessed every 3 weeks while on study; The observation period for MTD evaluation was the first 21 days of treatment.

  2. Bortezomib Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) [Phase I]

    The MTD plerixafor in combination with bortezomib is determined by the number of patients who experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). See subsequent primary outcome measure for the DLT definition. The MTD is defined as highest dose level at which fewer than one-third of patients experience a DLT. The MTD was reached at dose level 5B. The maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib was given on days 3, 6, 10, 13 of 21 each cycle.

    Measured: Participants were assessed every 3 weeks while on study; The observation period for MTD evaluation was the first 21 days of treatment.

  3. Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) [Phase I]

    A DLT was defined as (a) grade 3 or greater non-hematologic toxicity, considered by the investigator to be related to plerixafor or bortezomib, with the exception of nausea, vomiting or diarrhea unless receiving maximal medical therapy, (b) grade 4 hematologic toxicity defined as: thrombocytopenia with platelets <10,000 on more than one occasion within first cycle despite transfusion. Grade 4 neutropenia must occur for more than 5 days and/or result in neutropenic fever with elevated temperature (defined as > 101 degrees F). (c) inability to receive Day 1 dose for Cycle 2 due to toxicity. All adverse events were graded according to the CTEP Common Toxicity Criteria (CTCAE v.3.0).

    Measured: Participants were assessed every 3 weeks while on study; The observation period for MTD evaluation was the first 21 days of treatment.

  4. Response Rate of Plerixafor, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone in Relapsed or Relapsed/ Refractory Multiple Myeloma (ORR) [Phase I and Phase II]

    Overall response was established based on International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria with 6 potential categories: Complete Response (CR) which is a complete disappearance of monoclonal paraprotein based on negative immunofixation on the serum M-component and urine M-component and no evidence of myeloma in bone marrow, Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) defined as serum and urine M-component detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or ≥90% reduction in serum M-component plus urine M-component <100 mg per 24 hours, Partial Response (PR) ≥50% reduction in serum M-component or ≥90% reduction urine M-component or urine M-component <200 mg per 24 hours, Minimal Response (MR) ≥25% reduction in serum or urine M-component, Stable Disease (SD) defined as failure to meet any response criteria, and Progressive Disease (PD) ≥ 25% increase from lowest value reported in serum M-component (absolute ≥0.5 g/dL) and/or urine M-component (absolute ≥200 mg/24 hours).

    Measured: Disease was assessed for response every cycle on treatment. The maximum number of cycles received was 25.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to Progression (TTP) [Phase II]

    TTP estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the time from registration to progression based on IMWG criteria or date last known progression-free for those who have not progressed. [Durie BG et al. Leukemia. 2006] Progression (PD): ≥ 25% increase from lowest value reported in serum M-component (absolute increase ≥0.5 g/dL) and/or urine M-component (absolute increase ≥200 mg/24 hours); if appropriate, a ≥25% increase above the lowest level in the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels (absolute increase >10 mg/dL); If none of these are measurable then ≥25% increase in bone marrow plasma cell percentage above the lowest response level (absolute ≥10%); Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas OR increase in size of existing

    Measured: DIsease was assessed to document progression every cycle on treatment and post-treatment every 12 weeks until progression.

  2. Duration of Response (DOR) [Phase II]

    DOR is defined as the time from response to disease progression or death, or date last known progression-free and alive for those who have not progressed or died. DOR was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: DIsease was assessed to document response every cycle on treatment and post-treatment every 12 weeks until progression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Plerixafor, bortezomib and Dexamethasone in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 5 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 5 inclusion and 8 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 2 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Sep 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?

Plerixafor Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) [Phase I] (time frame: Participants were assessed every 3 weeks while on study; The observation period for MTD evaluation was the first 21 days of treatment.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00903968, 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 2 Jun 2020.
