Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: community sample

Who may be able to join

  • Voluntary written informed consent before performance of any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the subject at any time without prejudice to future medical care.
  • Prior diagnosis of multiple myeloma based on standard criteria (Durie 1986)
  • Received consecutive, prior treatment for MM with a regimen consisting of at least 16 consecutive weeks of bortezomib or 16 consecutive weeks of thalidomide prior to the Day of Assessment
  • The 16 weeks of consecutive treatment must have included at least one of the following doses and schedules:
  • Bortezomib: ≥ 1.0 mg/m² dosed 3 or more times per each 4-week period
  • Thalidomide: ≥ 50 mg/day dosed daily
Show all 9Show fewer
  • The qualifying regimen may include both bortezomib and thalidomide. However, the above inclusion requirements need only be satisfied by either one of the agents.
  • Age ≥18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form
  • Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements

Who cannot join

  • Plasma cell dyscrasia with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein (M-protein) and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome (Bardwick 1980)
  • Plasma cell leukemia
  • Primary amyloidosis
  • Vitamin D level assessment occurring within the 12 months preceding the Day of Assessment
  • Vitamin D non-dietary oral supplementation > 1200 IU per day for > 30 total days within the 12 month period preceding the Day of Assessment
  • Serious medical or psychiatric illness likely to interfere with participation in this clinical study.
  • Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form
  • Any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study.

About this study

Official title: Correlation Between Serum Vitamin D Levels and the Incidence of Peripheral Neuropathy Among Multiple Myeloma Patients Who Have Previously Received Treatment With Bortezomib or Thalidomide

This is a prospective study investigating the relationship between vitamin D and peripheral neuropathy (PN) among multiple myeloma (MM) patients treated with either bortezomib or thalidomide. The study consists of a screening period of up to 14 days, followed by a single assessment visit to evaluate vitamin D levels, incidence and severity of PN, neuropathic pain, and markers of depression. Patient charts will also be utilized to assess the frequency of skeletal-related events.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 10% of myeloma patients present at diagnosis with clinical neuropathy although studies reveal as many as 1/3 may have abnormal electrophysiological examinations. Baseline neuropathic abnormal findings are exacerbated by many myeloma treatments, especially bortezomib, thalidomide, and to a lesser extent lenalidomide. Several studies suggest that vitamin D supplementation may help reduce the symptoms of neuropathy.In this prospective study, we will investigate the relationship between vitamin D and PN among MM patients treated with either bortezomib or thalidomide. The study consists of a screening period of up to 14 days, followed by a single assessment visit to evaluate vitamin D levels, incidence and severity of PN, neuropathic pain, and markers of depression. Patient charts will also be utilized to assess the frequency of skeletal-related events.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum vitamin D levels

    Correlation of serum vitamin D levels to the incidence and severity of anti-myeloma treatment-induced PN/ neuropathic pain among MM patients previously exposed to bortezomib and/or thalidomide

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Skeletal related event

    Correlation between vitamin D levels and skeletal-related events (pathologic fracture, spinal cord compression or collapse, or surgery or radiotherapy to bone) among MM patients

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma and Peripheral Neuropathy, run by Oncotherapeutics at 3 sites 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 9 inclusion and 8 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 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Serum vitamin D levels (time frame: Day 1). 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 5 Mar 2018.
