About this study

Official title: Impact of First Autologous Transplant on Minimal Residual Disease Markers in Previously Untreated Myeloma Undergoing Initial Treatment With Velcade Based Therapy

The purpose of this study is to study the MRD status after VELCADE based induction therapy (VELCADE, lenalidomide, dexamethasone or VELCADE, liposomal doxorubicin, dexamethasone) in patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma and study the impact of HDC and ASCT on MRD status post-transplant. Our hypothesis is that MRD-status will continue to increase significantly at 3 months post-transplant and will validate that HDC and ASCT needs to be performed even when patients have achieved major response after induction therapy with novel agents.

Being tested
VELCADE, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone, DVT prophylaxis, Bisphosphonates

What is being measured

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

  1. The Percent of Patients With Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Status Changing to Negative at Day 100 (Post-AHCT), Among Patients With MRD Positive at the End of Induction (EOI).

    Patients were treated with induction therapy (VRD) followed by autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (AHCT). MRD status of a patient with at least partial response was evaluated at the end of induction (EOI) and day 100 (post-AHCT). MRD of a patient is measured by seven-color flow cytometry.

    Measured: 6-months post ASCT

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Progression Free Survival by MRD Status at Day 100.

    Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

    Measured: up to 7 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing VELCADE, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at 2 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 25 inclusion and 13 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 15 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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 28 Jun 2017). 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?

The Percent of Patients With Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Status Changing to Negative at Day 100 (Post-AHCT), Among Patients With MRD Positive at the End of Induction (EOI). (time frame: 6-months post ASCT). 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 15 May 2018.
