Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to understand if small proteins found on the surface of myeloma cells (called CXCR4 and CD47) or inside the myeloma cells (Pim kinases, sphingolipids, and pS6) can predict how patients will respond to chemotherapy-treatment and if a small molecule inside the myeloma cells (called Pim… Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to understand if small proteins found on the surface of myeloma cells (called CXCR4 and CD47) or inside the myeloma cells (Pim kinases, sphingolipids, and pS6) can predict how patients will respond to chemotherapy-treatment and if a small molecule inside the myeloma cells (called Pim kinase) can be used as a treatment target for myeloma. A sample from the bone marrow biopsy (a small amount of tissue removed from the body for laboratory testing) and aspirate (a small amount of fluid is removed from the body for laboratory testing) that had been done before the subject entered this study will be provided for research purposes. Based on preliminary data, it is hypothesized that CXCR4, CD47, sphingolipids, and Pim kinases could be used as prognostic/predictive markers and that Pim kinase inhibitors provide a new agent for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Multiple Myeloma subjects with bone marrow aspirate/biopsyAll patients seen at MUSC with a diagnosis of multiple myeloma or possible multiple myeloma who undergo bone marrow aspirate and biopsy will be approached for participation in this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure the expression levels of CXCR4, CD47, and pS6 by flow cytometry in myeloma patient's marrow aspirate

    Our Aim 1 is to perform a corrective study to measure the expression levels of CXCR4, CD47, and pS6 by flow cytometry in myeloma patient's marrow aspirate and correlate their expression level with patients' treatment responses

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine if Pim kinase inhibitors or sphingosine kinase 2 inhibitors will inhibit patients' myeloma cells

    Our aim 2 involves only in vitro cell culture system and in vivo animal models. We will measure the efficacy of Pim kinase inhibitors in inhibiting patients' myeloma cell growth in vitro using cell culture system. We will also determine the efficacy of Pim kinase inhibitors and sphingosine kinase 2 inhibitors in inhibiting tumor growth of patients' myeloma cells in animal models. We will measure the tumor size in animal models. Our Aim 2 does not involve any measurement of human myeloma patients. Therefore, measures of safety, tolerability etc in patients are not applicable.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma, run by Medical University of South Carolina 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 5 Apr 2018. 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.

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?

Measure the expression levels of CXCR4, CD47, and pS6 by flow cytometry in myeloma patient's marrow aspirate (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT01410981, which also lists 2 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 5 Apr 2018.
