  • An adequate autologous graft defined as a cryopreserved PBSC graft containing at least 4.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg patient weight; if prior to enrollment it is known that a patient will be on the auto-allo arm (i.e., a consenting, eligible HLA-matched sibling donor is available), the required autograft must contain at least 2.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg patient weight; the graft may not be CD34+ selected or otherwise manipulated to remove tumor or other cells; the graft can be collected at the transplanting institution or by a referring center; for patients without an HLA-matched sibling donor, the autograft must be stored so that there are two products each containing at least 2 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg patient weight

Who cannot join

  • Never advanced beyond Stage I MM since diagnosis
  • Non-secretory MM (absence of a monoclonal protein [M protein] in serum as measured by electrophoresis and immunofixation and the absence of Bence Jones protein in the urine defined by use of conventional electrophoresis and immunofixation techniques)
  • Plasma cell leukemia
  • Karnofsky performance score less than 70%, unless approved by the Medical Monitor or one of the Protocol Chairs
  • Uncontrolled hypertension
  • Uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections (currently taking medication and progression of clinical symptoms)
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Prior malignancies except resected basal cell carcinoma or treated cervical carcinoma in situ; cancer treated with curative intent less than 5 years previously will not be allowed unless approved by the Medical Monitor or one of the Protocol Chairs; cancer treated with curative intent more than 5 years previously will be allowed
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Seropositive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
  • Unwilling to use contraceptive techniques during and for 12 months following treatment
  • Prior allograft or prior autograft
  • Received mid-intensity melphalan (more than 50 mg IV) as part of prior therapy
  • Prior organ transplant requiring immunosuppressive therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Autologous bone marrow transplantation and Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Tehran University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

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 11 inclusion and 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2012. 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 Iran. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Contact Ardeshir Ghavamzadeh, MD (84902635 ext. +98-21, ghavamza@sina.tums.ac.ir), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Survival and Progressive Free Survival in both two arms (time frame: 1 year). 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 4 Jun 2012.
