About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of the IGF-1 Inhibitor Pasireotide Lar in Combination With the m-TOR Inhibitor Everolimus in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Observe the safety/tolerability and effectiveness in terms of response rate and duration of response of the combination pasireotide + everolimus in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple melanoma.

Read the detailed description

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B-cell malignancy of plasma cells. It represents the second most common hematological malignancy, with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma being the most common.In this protocol, we propose a regimen consisting of a novel combination of two agents with a promising preclinical activity, i.e., pasireotide (IGF-1 inhibitor) and everolimus (mTOR inhibitor), exploring the efficacy of this therapy in patients with MM. We propose enrollment after failure to the first two lines of FDA-approved agents, even in patients who did not have high-dose chemotherapy and SCT. In fact, overall survival after SCT has been shown to be identical when "early" SCT is compared to "late" SCT, i.e., administered at the time of relapse. This provides an important opportunity to test our novel therapeutic approach, reserving SCT for relapse. The advantage of the this strategy is that similar overall survival outcomes can be achieved with fewer patients undergoing SCT. Both everolimus and pasireotide have the potential of being clinically effective against myeloma. A phase II trial of the mTOR inhibitor temsirolimus, an analogue of everolimus, produced a response rate of 38% in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The IGF-1 inhibitor pasireotide is a promising agent, because IGF has been recently found to be one of the most important growth signal molecule in myeloma cells. The combination of everolimus and pasireotide should have a synergistic antimyeloma effect because preclinical data invitro have shown that combined inhibition of mTOR inhibition and IGF-1 led to a synergistic increase of cell growth inhibition in multiple myeloma cells and might represent a potential new treatment strategy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary objective

    Initially 12 patients will be enrolled. If there are no responses among these patients with the combination pasireotide + everolimus in the treatment the study will be terminated.

    Measured: 12 patients enrolled

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary objective

    After initial 12 patients enrolled and these patients respond, an additional 25 to 27 patients will be enrolled. We will evaluate efficacy of the combination regimen based primarily on response rate. Progression free-survival and overall survival will also be recorded and analyzed.

    Measured: 25 to 37 patients enrolled

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pasireotide and Everolimus in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Milton S. Hershey Medical Center at 1 site 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 12 inclusion and 15 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Primary objective (time frame: 12 patients enrolled). 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 10 Jan 2013.
