Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the use total marrow irradiation (TMI) as a sole preparation for the first autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHSCT) followed by high-dose melphalan used prior to second autoHSCT is safe and effective in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Double Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation With Sequential Use of Total Marrow Irradiation and High-dose Melphalan in Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the use total marrow irradiation (TMI) as a sole preparation for the first autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHSCT) followed by high-dose melphalan used prior to second autoHSCT is safe and effective in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).

Read the detailed description

AutoHSCT is a standard treatment of patients with MM. According to soem clinical evidence double autoHSCT provides survival advantage compared to a single procedure. Most frequently used conditioning regimen consists pf high doses of melphalan (HD-MEL). In some studies it was used in combination with total body irradiation (TBI), which, however was associated with significant toxicity. In our center the standard procedure includes TBI as a single treatment at 1st autoHSCT and HD-Mel at 2nd autoHSCT.

As in MM malignant plasma cells are localized almost exclusively in bone marrow there is rationale to limit irradiation to bones. For this purpose in the current study we substitute TBI with TMI. Additional boosts are provided for active sites of disease based on PET/CT imaging. Our intention is to minimize toxicity while maintaining the treatment efficacy.

What participants receive

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

  • Total marrow irradiationRadiation

    Mobilization of stem cells with the use of cytarabine 1.6 g/m2 followed by filgrastim 480 ug/d. Conditioning for the 1st autoHSCT: total marrow irradiation 4 Gy on days -3,-2,-1 (total 12 Gy). Conditioning for 2nd autoHSCT performed 3-4 months after the 1st one: melphalan 100 mg/m2 on days -2,-3 (total 200 mg/m2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Total marrow irradiation in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Center and Institute of Oncology, Gliwice at 1 site in Poland.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Aug 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 Poland. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sebastian Giebel, MD (0048322788523, sgiebel@io.gliwice.pl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival (time frame: three 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 NCT01665014, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Aug 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
