What is being measured

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

  1. Phase I: MTD of Bendamustine When Combined With Bortezomib and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin.

    In the first phase, MTD of bendamustine was determined in combination with bortezomib and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin to gain a better idea of safe dosing before proceeding with the second phase to assess efficacy. Assuming myelosuppression being a dose-limiting effect that could have been overcome with growth factor support, MTD of the combination with myeloid growth factor support was also tested.

    Measured: From C1D1 up to a maximum of 7 months or until death

  2. Phase II : Overall Response Rate

    Overall response rate (CR+PR) of bendamustine in association with bortezomib and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin was assessed in patients with relapsed or refractory Multiple Myeloma. Per modified International Myeloma Working Group criteria: Complete Response (CR) : Negative for monoclonal protein by immunofixation on the serum and urine, and Disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas, and <5% plasma cells in bone marrow ; PR : 50% or more reduction in serum M-protein and 90% or more reduction in urine M-protein or to <200 mg/24hours or a 50% or more reduction in free light chain level ; Overall Response (OR) = CR +PR.

    Measured: From C1D1 up to a maximum of 52 months or until death

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Phase I & Phase II : Toxicity of Treatment Regimen

    Toxicity profile (for all patients) were presented by rate of overall toxicity and rates of grade 3 or 4 toxicities analyzed separately and combined.

    Measured: From C1D1 until death or up to a maximum of 54 months

  2. Phase II : Time to Progression

    The time from the start of treatment (i.e., first dose) of MM patients treated with bendamustine, bortezomib and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin to disease progression, with disease progression and death due to disease progression as events and deaths due to causes other than progression as censored. Censoring date will be the last disease evaluation date for patient without progression/death or date of death due to other diseases for patients' deaths due to other causes.Per modified International Myeloma Working Group criteria: Progressive disease (PD) is reported if any one of the following criteria is met:

    Increase of 25% or more in serum or urine M-protein from baseline;Serum M-protein and/or the absolute increase must be ≥0.5 g/dL;Urine M-protein and/or absolute increase must be ≥200 mg/24 hours ; 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 hyperc.

    Measured: From C1D1 up to a maximum of 54 months or until death

  3. Phase II: Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    The time from the start of treatment of MM patients treated with bendamustine, bortezomib and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. to disease progression or death (regardless of cause of death), whichever comes first. Censoring date will be the last disease evaluation date.Per modified International Myeloma Working Group criteria: Progressive disease (PD) is reported if any one of the following criteria is met:

    Increase of 25% or more in serum or urine M-protein from baseline;Serum M-protein and/or the absolute increase must be ≥0.5 g/dL;Urine M-protein and/or absolute increase must be ≥200 mg/24 hours ; 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 hyperc.

    Measured: From C1D1 up to a maximum of 54 months until death

  4. Phase II: Duration of Survival

    Duration of MM patients treated with bendamustine, bortezomib and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. from first date of at least partial response to the time of progression or death due to disease progression as events, with disease progression and death due to disease progression as events and deaths due to causes other than progression as censored. Censoring date will be the last disease evaluation date or date of death due to other causes as appropriate.

    Measured: From C1D1 up to a maximum of 52 months

  5. Phase II: Overall Survival

    The time from the start of treatment to death from any cause with last date known alive as censoring date.

    Measured: From C1D1 up to a maximum of 54 months or until death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Bendamustine, Doxorubicin and Bortezomib in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Sherif Farag, MB, BS at 7 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 4 inclusion and 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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 6 Oct 2023). 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?

Phase I: MTD of Bendamustine When Combined With Bortezomib and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin. (time frame: From C1D1 up to a maximum of 7 months or until death). 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 6 Oct 2023.
