What is being measured

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

  1. Complete Response (CR) Rate [Based on the Modified Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) Criteria]

    The proportion of subjects evaluated as CR was calculated.

    CR (modified SWOG) requires all of the followings:

    1. Decline in serum myeloma protein by ≥75% to ≤25 g/L
    2. Reduction in 24 h urinary protein by ≥90% to ≤200 mg/24 h
    3. No increase in skeletal destruction
    4. Serum calcium within normal range
    5. No blood transfusion required in the previous 3 months

    Measured: Up to 36 weeks

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. CR Rate [Based on the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Criteria]

    The proportion of subjects evaluated as CR [strict CR (sCR) + CR] was calculated.

    sCR (IMWG): CR as defined below plus Normal FLC ratio and absence of clonal cells in bone marrow by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence

    CR (IMWG): Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine and disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and <5% plasma cells in bone marrow

    Measured: Up to 36 weeks

  2. Response Rate (Based on the IMWG Criteria)

    The proportion of subjects evaluated as response [sCR + CR + very good partial response (VGPR) + Partial Response (PR)] was calculated.

    VGPR (IMWG): Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or 90% or greater reduction in serum M-protein plus urine M-protein level <100mg per 24 h

    PR (IMWG): ≥50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24 h urinary M-protein by ≥90% or to <200mg per 24 h

    Measured: Up to 36 weeks

  3. CR Rate Based on the (Bladé) Criteria

    The proportion of subjects evaluated as CR was calculated.

    CR (Bladé) requires all of the followings:

    1. Absence of the original monoclonal paraprotein in serum and urine by immunofixation, maintained for a minimum of 6 weeks. The presence of oligoclonal bands consistent with oligoclonal immune reconstitution does not exclude CR.
    2. <5% plasma cells in a bone marrow aspirate and also on trephine bone biopsy, if biopsy is performed. If absence of monoclonal protein is sustained for 6 weeks it is not necessary to repeat the bone marrow, except in patients with non-secretory myeloma where the marrow examination must be repeated after an interval of at least 6 weeks to confirm CR.
    3. No increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions (development of a compression fracture does not exclude response)
    4. Disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas

    Measured: Up to 36 weeks

  4. Response Rate (Based on the Bladé Criteria)

    The proportion of subjects evaluated as response (CR + PR) was calculated.

    PR (Bladé) requires 1. or all of the others:

    1. Some, but not all, of the criteria for CR are fulfilled
    2. ≥50% reduction in the level of the serum monoclonal paraprotein, maintained for a minimum of 6 weeks.
    3. Reduction in 24 h urinary light chain excretion either by ≥90% or to <200 mg, maintained for a minimum of 6 weeks.
    4. For patients with non-secretory myeloma only, ≥50% reduction in plasma cells in a bone marrow aspirate and on trephine biopsy, if biopsy is performed, maintained for a minimum of 6 weeks.
    5. ≥50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas (by radiography or clinical examination).
    6. No increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions (development of a compression fracture does not exclude response).

    Measured: Up to 36 weeks

  5. Response Rate (Based on the Modified SWOG Criteria)

    The proportion of subjects evaluated as response (CR + PR) was calculated.

    PR (SWOG) requires the followings:

    1. Decline in myeloma protein of ≥25%-<74% in serum myeloma protein
    2. Reduction in 24h urinary myeloma protein of ≥25%-<89%
    3. No increase in skeletal destruction
    4. Serum calcium within normal range

    Measured: Up to 36 weeks

  6. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is the period from patient registration to either the date of recurrence, exacerbation, progression or death.

    Recurrence, exacerbation, progression were assessed from serum M-protein, urine M-protein, serum free light chain (FLC), the percentage of marrow plasma cells, disappearance of clonal plasma cells, plasma cell tumor in soft tissue, and bone lesion.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  7. Time to Treatment Failure (TTF)

    TTF is the period from patient registration to either the date of recurrence, exacerbation, progression, death or discontinuation of treatment.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  8. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR is the period from the date of achieving CR or PR to either the date of recurrence, exacerbation, progression or death.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  9. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is the period from the date of patient registration to the date of death.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  10. Number of Subjects With Adverse Event, Related Adverse Event, Serious Adverse Event, and Related Serious Adverse Event

    Adverse events were evaluated using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.02, Japan Clinical Oncology Group/Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JCOG/JSCO) version, and were encoded using Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA).

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  11. Number of Adverse Events, Related Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, and Related Serious Adverse Events

    Adverse events were evaluated using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.02, Japan Clinical Oncology Group/Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JCOG/JSCO) version, and were encoded using Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA).

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  12. Number of Subjects With Abnormality (Grade ≥3) in Laboratory Test Values

    Abnormalities in laboratory test values in overall study period were analyzed. Severity of abnormalities were evaluated using CTCAE.

    grade 1 : mild

    grade 2 : moderate

    grade 3 : severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening

    grade 4 : life threatening or disabling

    grade 5 : death related to AE

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  13. Number of Abnormalities (Grade ≥3) in Laboratory Test Values

    Abnormalities in laboratory test values in overall study period were analyzed. Severity of abnormalities were evaluated using CTCAE.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SyB L-0501 and prednisolone in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by SymBio Pharmaceuticals at 3 sites in Japan.

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 9 inclusion and 21 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 18 Mar 2013. 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 Japan. 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 18 Mar 2013). 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?

Complete Response (CR) Rate [Based on the Modified Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) Criteria] (time frame: Up to 36 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 18 Mar 2013.
