About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Trial of Cyclophosphamide, Carfilzomib, Thalidomide and Dexamethasone (CYCLONE) in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Active Multiple Myeloma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving combination chemotherapy together with carfilzomib and thalidomide may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of carfilzomib when given together with cyclophosphamide, thalidomide, and dexamethasone in treating patients with newly diagnosed active multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To establish the maximum tolerated dose of carfilzomib given in combination with oral cyclophosphamide and thalidomide and dexamethasone. (Phase I) II. In newly diagnosed myeloma to evaluate the response rate (CR, nCR, and VGPR) to carfilzomib given in combination with oral cyclophosphamide and thalidomide and dexamethasone after four 28 day cycles. (Phase II)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the overall response rate (CR, nCR, PR) after 4, 8, 12 cycles. II. Determine the duration of progression-free and overall survival for patients receiving this regimen.

III. To evaluate the incidence of toxicities for this regimen. IV. To evaluate the ability to successfully collect peripheral blood stem cells following four months of combination therapy.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose escalation study of carfilzomib followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive carfilzomib IV on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16; oral cyclophosphamide on days 1, 8, and 15; oral dexamethasone on days 1, 8, 15, and 22; and oral thalidomide on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 3 months, then every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months for up to 3 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (Phase I)

    To establish the maximum tolerated dose of carfilzomib given in combination with oral cyclophosphamide and thalidomide and dexamethasone.

    For this protocol, dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) will be defined as an adverse event attributed (definitely, probably, possibly) in the first or second cycle for patients enrolled to Dose Levels -1 and 0 and in the first cycle only for patients enrolled to Dose Levels 1 and 2.

    We are reporting the number of DLTs

    Measured: From baseline to end of active treatment, up to 12 28-day cycles.

  2. Percentage of Patients Who Have at Least a Confirmed Very Good Partial Response (Phase II)

    The proportion of patients who have at least a confirmed very good partial response will be calculated by taking the number of patients with a very good partial response or a complete response divided by the total number of patients.

    A complete response is defined as:

    • Negative immunofixation of the serum and urine
    • If at on study, only the measurable non-bone marrow parameter was FLC, normalization of FLC ratio
    • < 5% plasma cells in bone marrow
    • Disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas

    A very good partial response is defined as:

    • Serum and urine M-component detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or
    • If at on study, serum measurable, ≥ 90% or greater reduction in serum Mcomponent
    • Urine M-component <100 mg per 24 hour

    Measured: Following the first 4 cycles of treatment (28 day cycles)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Progression-free Survival (Phase II)

    PFS was defined as the time from registration to progression or death due to any cause. Progression was defined as any one or more of the following:

    • Increase of 25% from lowest confirmed response in: Serum M-component (absolute increase must be ≥ 0.5 g/dl)c Urine M-component (absolute increase must be ≥ 200 mg/24 hour) If at on study, only the measurable non-bone marrow parameter was FLC, the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels (absolute increase must be >10 mg/dl) Bone marrow plasma cell percentage (absolute % must be 10%)d 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 (corrected serum calcium >11.5 mg/dl) that can be attributed solely to the plasma cell proliferative disorder

    Measured: From baseline to progression or death up to 3 years

  2. Time to Treatment Failure

    The time from the date of registration to the date at which the patient is removed from treatment due to progression, adverse events, or refusal. If the patient is considered to be a major treatment violation or is taken off study as a non-protocol failure, the patient will be censored on the date they were removed from treatment. The distribution of time to treatment failure will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier

    Measured: From baseline to end of active treatment

  3. Stem Cell Collection and Engraftment (Phase II)

    For patients going on to stem cell collection, the total number of CD34 positive cells collected per collection, days to platelets over 20,000 without transfusion and ANC over 1000 will be recorded. If a patient fails to collect adequate stem cells for transplant, this will be recorded as such. The number of patients with successful stem cell mobilization are reported.

    Measured: Following the first 4 courses of treatment

  4. Complete Response (Phase II)

    In patients continuing beyond 4 cycles the ability to induce complete response will be evaluated at completion of planned therapy.

    Measured: Following the first 4 courses of treatment

  5. Survival Time (Phase II)

    Survival time is defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause. The distribution of survival time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier

    Measured: From baseline to death

  6. Progression Free Survival (12 Month)

    Progression-free survival time is defined as the time from registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression. If a patient dies without a documentation of disease progression the patient will be considered to have had disease progression at the time of their death. If the patient is declared to be a major treatment violation, the patient will be censored on the date the treatment violation was declared to have occurred. In the case of a patient starting treatment and then never returning for any evaluations, the patient will be censored for progression 1 day post-registration. This is reported as the percentage of patients alive and progression free at the 12 month mark.

    Measured: 12 months

  7. Progession Free Survival (24 Month)

    Progression-free survival time is defined as the time from registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression. If a patient dies without a documentation of disease progression the patient will be considered to have had disease progression at the time of their death. If the patient is declared to be a major treatment violation, the patient will be censored on the date the treatment violation was declared to have occurred. In the case of a patient starting treatment and then never returning for any evaluations, the patient will be censored for progression 1 day post-registration. This is reported as the percentage of patients alive and progression free at the 24 month mark.

    Measured: 24 months

  8. Overall Survival (12 Month)

    12 Month Overall survival is defined as the proportion of patients to still be alive after 12 months.

    Measured: From baseline to death

  9. Overall Survival (24 Month)

    24 Month Overall survival is defined as the proportion of patients to still be alive after 24 months.

    Measured: From baseline to death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing carfilzomib, cyclophosphamide and thalidomide in people with Multiple Myeloma and Stage I Multiple Myeloma, run by Mayo Clinic at 3 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 18 inclusion and 17 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 12 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 23 Sep 2016). 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (Phase I) (time frame: From baseline to end of active treatment, up to 12 28-day cycles.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Dec 2017.
