About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Melphalan+Bortezomib as a Conditioning Regimen for Autologous and Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplants in Multiple Myeloma After Cytoreductive Therapy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Bortezomib when added to standard chemotherapy medicine(s) for treatment of Multiple Myeloma.

Read the detailed description

The primary objectives of this study are:

  • To determine the 2 year-progression free survival in multiple myeloma with an allogeneic transplant using a conditioning regimen of melphalan + fludarabine + Bortezomib in patients < 60 years of age and available HLA-matched donor and compare it with the 2 year-progression-free-survival after an autologous stem cell transplant with melphalan+Bortezomib conditioning in patients < 60 years.
  • To determine the 2 year-progression free survival in multiple myeloma with an autologous stem cell transplant using a conditioning regimen of melphalan + Bortezomib. for patients > 60 years of age and patients < 60 years of age who decline allogeneic stem cell transplant.

The secondary objectives of this study are:

  • To determine the overall survival in multiple myeloma with autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplants using the above conditioning regimens
  • To determine the response rates in multiple myeloma using the above regimens.
  • To determine minimal residual disease status using allele specific oligonucleotides (ASO-PCR) by PCR and flow-cytometry for multiple myeloma cells.
  • To correlate minimal residual disease status with 2 year progression free survival and overall survival.
  • To determine the incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in multiple myeloma with allogeneic stem cell transplant using the above conditioning regimen.
  • To examine quality of life in patients treated with allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplants using the above conditioning regimen.

  • MelphalanDrug

    Also called Alkeran(R)

    AUTOLOGOUS ARM: Day -4 and Day -3 Melphalan 100 mg/m^2/day IV over 30 minutes. ALLOGENEIC ARM: Day -4, Day -3 Melphalan 70 mg/m^2/day IV over 30 minutes.

  • Autologous Stem Cell TransplantProcedure or surgery

    Autologous Stem Cell Transplant: Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Rescue. Stem cell mobilization with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) at a dose of 10 μg/kg/day as per institutional standards. CD34+ peripheral blood stem cells will be collected following the administration of G-CSF as per institutional standards. Day 0 Infusion of autologous stem cells.

  • FludarabineDrug

    Also called Fludara(R)

    Days -6,-5,-4,-3 Fludarabine 30 mg/m^2/day IV

  • Allogeneic Stem Cell TransplantProcedure or surgery

    Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant: Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Rescue. Day 0 Infusion of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells. For the allogeneic matched-related donors peripheral blood stem cells will be harvested with GCSF mobilization and infused fresh to the recipients. Allogeneic donor stem cells may also be cryopreserved if they cannot be infused fresh.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS: Number of participants, per treatment arm with progression free survival at time of analysis. Survival time will be measured from the date of transplant to the date of progression, death or the last follow-up, whichever comes first. Progressive Disease (PD): Increase of ≥ 25% from lowest response value in any one or more of the following: Serum M-component and/or; Urine M-component and/or; Only in patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels; the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels. The absolute increase must be > 10 mg/dL; Bone marrow plasma cell percentage; absolute percentage ≥ 10%; Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas or definite increase in the size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas; Development of hypercalcemia that can be attributed solely to the plasma cell proliferative disorder.

    Measured: End of 2 year, post transplant follow-up

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Survival (OS) Rate

    Overall survival in participants with multiple myeloma treated with Bortezomib (Velcade®) containing conditioning regimen and autologous as well as allogeneic transplantation.

    Measured: End of 2 year, post transplant follow-up

  2. Molecular Complete Response (CR) Rates in Patients With Multiple Myeloma

    Complete Response according to International Myeloma Working Group uniform response criteria. CR: Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine and disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and < 5% plasma cells in bone marrow.

    Measured: End of 2 year, post transplant follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bortezomib, Melphalan and Autologous Stem Cell Transplant in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 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 12 inclusion and 20 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 18 Sep 2019. 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 12 Oct 2018). 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?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: End of 2 year, post transplant follow-up). 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 18 Sep 2019.
