About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane®) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase II trial studies how well paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has returned or did not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy (overall response rate) of single agent nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) (paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the adverse events associated with use of single agent nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

II. To evaluate overall survival, time to progression, and duration of response among patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma undergoing treatment with single agent nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3-6 months for up to 3 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Patients Who Have a Confirmed Partial Response or Better

    A confirmed partial response or better will be considered synonymous with "success" and is defined to be a stringent complete response (sCR = complete response (CR) + Normal serum FLC ratio + Absence of clonal cells in bone marrow), CR (= Negative immunofixation of the serum and urine + <5%plasma cells in bone marrow + Disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas + normalization of FLC ratio), very good partial response (VGPR = partial response (PR) + Serum and urine M-component detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis ), or PR (≥ 50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-h urinary M-protein by ≥ 90% or to <200 mg per 24 h) noted as the objective status on two consecutive evaluations. The percentage of successes (confirmed PR or better) will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients times 100. Confirmed PR or better will be evaluated using all cycles of treatment.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Survival Time

    Survival time is defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause. The distribution of survival time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: Time from registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  2. Progression Free Survival at 3 Months

    The distribution of time to progression will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier and the 3 month progression-free rate (percentage) will be provided. Progression is defined as:

    Any one or more of the following: Increase of 25% from lowest value in:

    • Serum M-component (absolute increase must be ≥ 0.5 g/dl
    • Serum M-component increase ≥ 1 g/dl, if lowest M component was ≥ 5 g/dl
    • Urine M-component (absolute increase must be ≥ 200 mg/24 h)
    • If at on study, the only measurable non-bone marrow parameter was free light chain (FLC), the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels (absolute increase must be >10 mg/dl)
    • Bone marrow plasma cell percentage (absolute % must be ≥10%) Or any one or more of the following felt related to the underlying clonal plasma cell proliferative disorder
    • Development of new soft tissue plasmacytomas or bone lesions
    • Hypercalcemia (≥11.5 mg/dl)
    • Decrease in hemoglobin of ≥2 g/dl
    • Serum creatinine level ≥2 mg/dl

    Measured: Time from registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression, assessed up to 3 years

  3. Duration of Response of All Evaluable Patients Who Have Achieved a Partial Response or Better

    Duration of response is defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved a partial response or better (stringent complete response (sCR = complete response (CR) + Normal serum FLC ratio + Absence of clonal cells in bone marrow), CR (= Negative immunofixation of the serum and urine + <5%plasma cells in bone marrow + Disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas + normalization of FLC ratio), very good partial response (VGPR = partial response (PR) + Serum and urine M-component detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis ), or PR (≥ 50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-h urinary M-protein by ≥ 90% or to <200 mg per 24 h) ) as the date at which the patients earliest best objective status is first noted to be at least a partial response or better to the earliest date of progression is documented. The distribution of duration of response will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: Date at which the patient's earliest best objective status is first noted to be at least a partial response or better to the earliest date progression is documented, assessed up to 3 years

  4. Incidence of Toxicity as Assessed by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0

    Toxicity is defined as a grade 3 or higher adverse events that is classified as either possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment. The assignment of attribution to study treatment and grade (or degree of severity) of the adverse event are classified using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns. Additionally, the relationship of the adverse event(s) to the study treatment will be taken into consideration. The percentage of patients with a maximum grade 3 or higher adverse event at least possibly related to the study treatment are reported below.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  5. Overall Response Rate

    Overall response rate (percentage) is defined as the percentage of patients with a partial response (PR) or better. A PR or better will be considered synonymous with "success" and is defined to be a stringent complete response (sCR = complete response (CR) + Normal serum FLC ratio + Absence of clonal cells in bone marrow), CR (= Negative immunofixation of the serum and urine + <5%plasma cells in bone marrow + Disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas + normalization of FLC ratio), very good partial response (VGPR = PR + Serum and urine M-component detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis ), or PR (≥ 50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-h urinary M-protein by ≥ 90% or to <200 mg per 24 h) noted as the objective status. The percentage of successes (PR or better) will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients times 100. PR or better will be evaluated using all cycles of treatment.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel Albumin-Stabilized Nanoparticle Formulation and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Refractory Plasma Cell Myeloma, run by Mayo Clinic 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 15 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 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 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Sep 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Patients Who Have a Confirmed Partial Response or Better (time frame: Up to 3 years). 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 16 Oct 2017.
