About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase III Study to Compare Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone (VMP) With High Dose Melphalan Followed by Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone (VRD) Consolidation and Lenalidomide Maintenance in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

Study phase: phase III

Study objective:

Read more
  • Comparison of Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone (VMP) with High Dose Melphalan followed autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT)
  • Comparison of Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone(VRD) as consolidation versus no consolidation
  • Comparison of single versus tandem high dose Melphalan with ASCT

Patient population: Patients with symptomatic multiple myeloma,previously untreated, ISS stages 1-3, age 18-65 years inclusive

Study design: Prospective, multicenter, intergroup, randomized

Duration of treatment: Expected duration of induction, stem cell collection and intensification is 6 - 9 months. Consolidation with VRD will last 2 months Maintenance therapy with Lenalidomide will be given until relapse. All patients will be followed until 10 years after registration.

Being tested
Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone (VMP), 1 or 2 cycle(s) HDM (High Dose Melphalan), 2 cycles of Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone (VRD)
Keywords
Multiple Myeloma (Kahler's disease)
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    • Prednisone _ 60 mg/m² _ p.o. _ days 1-4
  • 1 or 2 cycle(s) HDM (High Dose Melphalan)Drug

    • Melphalan _ 100 mg/m² _ i.v. rapid infusion _ -3, -2*

    *Patients with renal insufficiency 100 mg/m2 only at day -3

    If a patient is randomized to receive 2 x HDM a second course of High Dose Melphalan may be administered between 2 and 3 months after the first course when the patient achieved at least PR.

R1: 4 cycles Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone (VMP)Active comparatorAll patients randomized to VMP treatment, will be treated with Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone(VMP, 4 cycles) and will start intensification with VMP between 4 and 6 weeks after stem cell collection.
Receives: Drug: Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone (VMP)
R1: 1 (2) cycle(s) HDMExperimentalAll patients randomized to intensification with High Dose Melphalan will start intensification with HDM (in hospitals with a policy of double intensification, patients will be randomized between VMP, 1 HDM and 2 HDM) between 4 and 6 weeks after stem cell collection.
Receives: Drug: 1 or 2 cycle(s) HDM (High Dose Melphalan)
R2: noneNo interventionNo consolidation, patients will continue to Lenalidomide maintenance.
R2: 2 cycles of VRDExperimentalIn patients randomized to consolidation treatment, 2 cycles of Bortezomib, Lenalidomide,Dexamethasone (VRD) will start at 8 weeks after the end of the last course of VMP or HDM.
Receives: Drug: 2 cycles of Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone (VRD)

What is being measured

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

  1. For all registered patients: progression free survival (PFS) as defined by time from registration to progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first).

    For all registered patients: progression free survival (PFS) as defined by time from registration to progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first).

    Measured: end of trial (last patient last visit)

  2. For all patients included in R1; PFS as defined by time from randomization R1 to progression or death from any cause whichever comes first

    For all patients included in R1; PFS as defined by time from randomization R1 to progression or death from any cause whichever comes first

    Measured: end of trial (last patient last visit)

  3. For all patients included in R2; PFS as defined by time from randomization R2 to progression or death from any cause whichever comes first

    For all patients included in R2; PFS as defined by time from randomization R2 to progression or death from any cause whichever comes first

    Measured: end of trial (last patient last visit)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall survival measured from the time of registration /randomization R1/ randomization R2. Patients still alive or lost to follow up are censored at the date they were last known to be alive.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone (VMP), 1 or 2 cycle(s) HDM (High Dose Melphalan) and 2 cycles of Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone (VRD) in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Stichting Hemato-Oncologie voor Volwassenen Nederland at 208 sites in 16 countries.

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 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 208 sites in Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Belgium and 11 more countries. 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 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?

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?

For all registered patients: progression free survival (PFS) as defined by time from registration to progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first). (time frame: end of trial (last patient last visit)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01208766, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 Jan 2026.
