About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Geriatric Assessments in Senior Adults With Multiple Myeloma

This study will evaluate the prevalence of geriatric syndromes in older adults with multiple myeloma, examine relationships between baseline geriatrics syndromes and initial treatment selection, and examine risk of functional decline.

Relationship between baseline geriatric questionnaires and initial treatment selection in older adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Feasibility of subjects completing the CARG geriatric assessments at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.

Comorbidities or dependence in IADLs at baseline predict decline in functional status at 6 months of follow-up in older adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

What is being measured

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

  1. The relationship between initial treatment recommendation and baseline questionnaires assessment

    The physician caring for the patient will be asked to identify his/her initial treatment recommendations. This includes whether the patient is, in his/her assessment, a candidate for high dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. It will also include whether a 2-drug or 3-drug regimen is recommended initially.

    Measured: At baseline visit

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Changes in questionnaires from baseline to 6 months

    Logistic regression analyses, adjusted odds ratios (ORs) based on model will be given with 95% CIs. All analyses will use two-tailed significance levels of 0.05 and will be conducted with statistical software SAS 9.2. Geriatric assessment variables will be analyzed as continuous or ordinal variables as indicated. Candidate variables will include: demographic data (including age, gender, race), disease data (stage, cytogenetic abnormalities), or geriatric assessment variables (comorbidity, functional status, physical function, psychological state, nutrition, social support and social activity). Analyses will be performed for the outcomes of treatment selection (transplant vs non-transplant) and increased dependence in IADLs

    Measured: Through 6 months of follow-up

  2. Completion of the questionnaires at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.

    Feasibility of subjects completing questionnaires is defined as 90% of consenting subjects completing the baseline geriatric assessment battery, and 80% of consenting subjects completing follow-up assessments at 3 and 6 months.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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 5 inclusion and 2 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 20 Nov 2015. 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.

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?

The relationship between initial treatment recommendation and baseline questionnaires assessment (time frame: At baseline visit). 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 20 Nov 2015.
