Trial summary

This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of panobinostat and carfilzomib in treating participants with multiple myeloma that has come back or that isn't responding to treatment. Carfilzomib keeps cancer cells from repairing themselves. If the cancer cells cannot repair themselves, they may die. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase 1/1b Study of the Efficacy and Safety of the Combination of Panobinostat + Carfilzomib in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Myeloma

This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of panobinostat and carfilzomib in treating participants with multiple myeloma that has come back or that isn't responding to treatment. Carfilzomib keeps cancer cells from repairing themselves. If the cancer cells cannot repair themselves, they may die. Panobinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving panobinostat and carfilzomib may work better in treating participants with multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the maximum recommended dose (MRD) of the combination of carfilzomib and panobinostat in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). (Phase I) II. To determine the overall response rate (stable disease [SD], minimal response [MR], partial response [PR], very good partial response [VGPR], near complete response/complete response [nCR/CR] of the combination. (Phase Ib)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the overall response rate (ORR), stable disease (SD), minimal response (MR), partial response (PR), very good partial response (VGPR), near complete response/complete response (nCR/CR). (Phase I) II. To determine the time to progression (TTP). (Phase I and Ib) III. To determine the progression free survival (PFS). (Phase I and Ib) IV. To determine the time to best response. (Phase I and Ib) V. To determine time to next therapy. (Phase I and Ib) VI. To determine duration of response. (Phase I and Ib) VII. To determine the overall response rate (SD, MR, PR, VGPR, nCR/CR) of the combination. (Phase Ib) VIII. To assess the safety of the combination. (Phase Ib)

OUTLINE: This is a phase I and Ib dose escalation study.

Participants receive carfilzomib intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 and panobinostat orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12 of each course. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 8 courses, participants may continue carfilzomib IV on days 1, 2, 15, and 16, and panobinostat PO on days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12 of each course. If the disease becomes worse, participants can receive carfilzomib on the original dosing schedule (days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each course).

After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 30 days.

Receives: Drug: Carfilzomib; Drug: Panobinostat

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the drug combination

    Measured: At 28 days

  2. Incidence of adverse events per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0

    Measured: Up to 8 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time to progression

    Will use Kaplan-Meier methods appropriate for survival analysis.

    Measured: 30 days after the last dose is given

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Carfilzomib and Panobinostat in people with Non-Secretory Plasma Cell Myeloma and Plasmacytosis, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer 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 8 inclusion and 11 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 29 Sep 2023. 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 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.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the drug combination (time frame: At 28 days). 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 29 Sep 2023.
