About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of ABT-888 in Combination With Bortezomib and Dexamethasone in Patients With Relapsed Refractory Myeloma

The combination of PARP inhibitor (ABT-888) with a proteasome inhibitors (bortezomib) have demonstrated significant anti-myeloma effects in preclinical lab and animal studies. The goal of this phase I trial is to evaluate in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma the safety, toxicity profile and tolerability of ABT-888 (Veliparib) administered on a schedule including twice daily oral dosing for 14 days followed by 1 week rest in combination with standard dosing of Bortezomib.

Read the detailed description

This is a dose-finding / dose escalation phase I trial of ABT-888 (Veliparib) in combination with Bortezomib and Dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. ABT-888 is given orally (PO) twice daily (every 12 hours) for 14 days in a 21 days cycle.

First dose to be given within 1 hour of Bortezomib on day 1. Planned starting dose is 20 mg PO every 12 hours. Starting dose escalation is planned until an MTD is reached.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ABT-888.

    Study follows a modified dose escalation scheme with a 3+3 design (3 to 6 patients per dose level or cohort). Only the ABT-888 dose will be escalated with a maximum dose of ABT-888 of 100 mg PO BID. If >1 out 6 patients at any dose level suffer dose limiting toxicity, then dose escalation is stopped, and this dose is declared as MTD. 3 additional patients will be entered at the next lowest dose level. The recommended phase 2 dose is defined as the dose level with ≤ 1 out of 6 patients experiencing DLTs at the highest dose level below the MTD.

    Measured: 21 Day Cycle

  2. Identify the Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) of ABT-888

    All adverse events, including DLTs, are graded according to the NCI CTCAE, v4.0. A DLT is defined as any grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity, or any grade 4 hematologic toxicity, considered by the investigator to be related to the study drugs and occurring during Days 1-22 of Cycle 1.

    Measured: 21 Day Cycle

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Activity Objective - Preliminary assessment of the anti-tumor activity of ABT-888

    Response to study drugs is assessed at the end of each cycle according to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria.

    Measured: 21 day cycle

  2. Exploratory Objective - Preliminary assessment of potential biomarkers

    Gene expression profiling is performed at baseline and compared between responders versus non-responders in order to identify a "treatment response signature". 2.5 mg of RNA will be extracted from plasma cells sorted from pre-treatment (D1, cycle 1) (n=20) and post-treatment (D11, cycle 1) (n=20) bone marrow aspirates collected from patients treated in the extension cohort. cRNAs will be hybridized onto the U133 Plus 2.0 gene chips and raw data files acquired using Affymetrix Microarray Suite version 5.1 software and analyzed with the Partek Genomics Suite v6.4.

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Exploratory Objective - Determine in vivo the effect of ABT-888 on PARP inhibitors.

    Poly-ADP-ribose (PAR) levels are measured in sorted CD138+ plasma cells from pre-ABT-888 treatment on day 1 cycle1, as well as post ABT-888 treatment (within 4-6 hours) on days 4 and 11. PAR levels will be measured by standardized ELISA assays (HT PARP in vivo Pharmacodynamic Assay II™, Trevigen).

    Measured: 24 Months

  4. Determine invivo the effects of Bortezomib on the plasma cells DNA genes expression and function

    Gene expression profiling is performed at baseline prior to treatment with bortezomib and on days 4 and 11 post bortezomib treatment. 2.5 mg of RNA will be extracted from plasma cells sorted from bone marrow aspirates collected from patients treated on trial. cRNAs will be hybridized onto the U133 Plus 2.0 gene chips and raw data files acquired using Affymetrix Microarray Suite version 5.1 software and analyzed with the Partek Genomics Suite v6.4.

    Measured: 24 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ABT-888/Bortezomib in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by AHS Cancer Control Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 6 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 25 Sep 2017. 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 Canada. 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?

Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ABT-888. (time frame: 21 Day Cycle). 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 25 Sep 2017.
