About this study

Official title: Observational Study of Osteoblast Activity in Velcade�(Bortezomib) IV Treated Multiple Myeloma Patients.

The purpose of this study is to measure the markers related to bone metabolism before and after the use of bortezomib injection in patients with multiple myeloma and to evaluate the effect bortezomib injection has on bone disease.

Read the detailed description

Among several symptoms in patients with multiple myeloma, the bone disease is one of the most common symptoms that approximately 80 percent of the patients experience. Multiple myeloma is different from other tumors in that several osteoclast activating factors (OAF) released from multiple myeloma cells resorb bone and, at the same time, activation of osteoblast is inhibited, leading to unbalance of breakdown and formation of bone. Activation of osteoclast and inhibition of osteoblast brings about bone fractures, osteoporosis, hypercalcemia, bone pain and spinal cord compression. Those symptoms are directly related to patients' quality of life. Therefore, they are the important therapeutic targets for multiple myeloma. Various types of bisphosphonate agents are used for the treatment of the bone disease in patients with multiple myeloma. This is a prospective (a study where the participants are identified and then followed forward in time), multi-center, Phase 4, observational study (studies that record specific events occurring without any intervention from the researcher) in order to analyze the change in bone metabolism markers (DKK-1, sRANKL, OPG, sRANKL/OPG,bALP, OC) before and after the use of bortezomib injection by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in serum. The adverse events will be assessed through the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 3.0 (NCI CTCAE V3). The patients will receive bortezomib injection into a vein 1.3 mg/m2 twice a week for 21 days under usual clinical practice.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma, run by Janssen Korea, Ltd., Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 28 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

bone metabolism markers (DKK-1, sRANKL, OPG, sRANKL/OPG,bALP, OC) (time frame: on day 1 at the first cycle, and 12-24 weeks). 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 28 Apr 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
