About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Phase 2 Study of BHQ880, an Anti-Dickkopf1 (DKK1) Monoclonal Antibody (mAb), in Patients With Untreated Multiple Myeloma and Renal Insufficiency

The study will evaluate the effects of BHQ880 in patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma and renal insufficiency who are not considered candidates for bisphosphonate therapy. The primary objective of the study will be to evaluate the effect of BHQ880 in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone, compared to placebo administered with the combination on the time to first Skeletal Related Event (SRE) on study.

What is being measured

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

  1. effect of BHQ880 compared with placebo on time to first Skeletal Related Event (SRE) in patients with untreated multiple myeloma and renal insufficiency in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone

    Time to first SRE from randomization

    Measured: 18-month median time to first SRE assumed for the placebo arm

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. safety and tolerability of BHQ880 in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone

    Number of patients with adverse events/serious adverse events, abnormal clinical laboratory values, and the assessment of immunogenicity

    Measured: From screening through month 17

  2. Characterize the PharmacoKinetics (PK) profiles of BHQ880 and bortezomib

    Determine the pharmacokinetic parameters for BHQ880 and bortezomib (Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-tlast, t1/2, and accumulation ratio of BHQ880).

    Measured: At screening and weeks 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 11, 13, 16, 25 and 34

  3. Evaluate the effect of BHQ880 on bone metabolism

    1. Change in bone mineral density, measured by dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), from randomization to 12 and 18 months; 2) Change in bone strength, measured by quantitative computed tomography (qCT), from randomization to 3 and 6 months

    Measured: At screening and at months 3, 6, 12, and 18

  4. Determine the antimyeloma effect of BHQ880 compared to placebo when used in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone.

    1. The overall response rate (partial response plus complete response); 2) Progression-free survival following initiation of BHQ880

    Measured: From the first dose of study medication through month 17

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BHQ880, bortezomib and dexamethasone in people with Multiple Myeloma and Renal Insufficiency, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 8 sites in 3 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 17 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United Kingdom, United States, Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

effect of BHQ880 compared with placebo on time to first Skeletal Related Event (SRE) in patients with untreated multiple myeloma and renal insufficiency in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone (time frame: 18-month median time to first SRE assumed for the placebo arm). 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 17 Dec 2020.
