About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in Patients With Primary Plasma Cell Leukemia

This is an open label, multicenter, exploratory, single arm, two-stage study aiming to explore efficacy and safety of lenalidomide and dexamethasone combination (LD) as first line therapy in previously untreated patients with primary Plasma Cell leukemia (PPCL).

Read the detailed description

The primary endpoint was response rate according to International Uniform Criteria; secondary endpoints were: i) time to progression (TTP), progression free survival (PFS, and overall survival (OS); ii) percentage of eligible PPCL patients able to mobilize and collect peripheral blood stem cells after LD treatment; iii) percentage of eligible PPCL patients able to undergo autologous or allogeneic stem cells transplantation after LD treatment; iv) serious/severe adverse event (SAEs) rate.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lenalidomide, dexamethasoneDrug

    Also called Revlimid

    Enrolled patients received lenalidomide at a dose of 25 mg/d for 21 days and oral dexamethasone at a dose of 40 mg on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 for each 28-day cycle. After 4 cycles, responding patients not eligible for SCT continued until 8 cycles of full-dose LD, if tolerated, followed by a maintenance dose of single agent lenalidomide equal to 10 mg/d on days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle.

    Patients responding after 4 cycles and eligible for SCT proceeded according to single Centre transplant policy. Patients not responding after 4 cycles or progressing during this treatment were considered off-study.

  2. Complete remission rate

    IMWG

    Measured: 4 months

  3. At least Very good partial remission rate

    IMWG

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression free survival

    Median follow-up

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Overall survival

    Median follow-up

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Percentage of patients able to perform stem cell transplantation

    Number of eligible patients reaching stem cell transplantation procedure

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Safety

    Number of severe/serious adverse events

    Measured: 4-8 months, according to protocol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lenalidomide, dexamethasone in people with Primary Plasma Cell Leukemia, run by IRCCS Centro di Riferimento Oncologico della Basilicata at 1 site in Italy.

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 13 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 14 Mar 2012. 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 Italy. 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 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?

Overall response rate (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 3 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 14 Mar 2012.
