About this study
Official title: A Post Approval Commitment Study for Pharmacokinetic Analysis and Providing Expanded Access to Bortezomib (Velcade) for Patients With Multiple Myeloma Who Have Received at Least Two Previous Lines of Therapy and Are Refractory to or Have Relapsed After Their Last Therapy for Multiple Myeloma in Taiwan
The purpose of this post marketing study is to determine the plasma concentration of bortezomib (unchanged drug) to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK - the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) properties in the Taiwanese population. It will also provide expanded access (expanded access, sometimes called "compassionate use," is the use of an investigational drug outside of a clinical trial to treat a participant with a serious or immediately life-threatening disease or condition who has no comparable or satisfactory alternative treatment options) to bortezomib for the same group of participants with multiple myeloma (cancer of the types of cells normally found in bone marrow).
Read the detailed description
This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single-arm, multi-center (conducted in more than 1 center) study to assess the PK of bortezomib and to provide expanded access to bortezomib for 14 Taiwanese participants with multiple myeloma who have received at least 2 previous lines of therapy (medicine or medical care given to a participant for a disease or condition) and are refractory (not responding to treatment) to or have relapsed (the return of a medical problem) after their last therapy. Eligible participants will receive bortezomib 1.3 milligram (mg) per meter square (m^2) on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of each 3-week cycle for up to 8 cycles. Blood samples for PK assessment will be collected on specified time points of Day 1, Day 8, and Day 11 of Cycle 1. Efficacy of the participants will primarily be evaluated by recording 'response to treatment' and 'Karnofsky Performance Status'. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Number of Participants With Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) Score at Baseline
The KPS Index allows participants to be classified as per their functional impairment (abnormal function). This can be used to compare effectiveness of different therapies (medicine or medical care given to a participant for a disease or condition) and to assess the prognosis (outlook, probable outcomes) in individual participants. KPS was recorded on an 11-point scale (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100.) where '0=Dead' and '100=Normal, no complaints, no evidence of disease'.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this post marketing study is to determine the plasma concentration of bortezomib (unchanged drug) to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK - the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) properties in the Taiwanese population. It will also provide expanded access (expanded access, sometimes called "compassionate use," is the use of an investigational drug outside of a clinical trial to treat a participant with a serious or immediately life-threatening disease or condition who has no comparable or satisfactory alternative treatment options) to bortezomib for the same group of participants with multiple myeloma (cancer of the types of cells normally found in bone marrow).
Detailed description
This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single-arm, multi-center (conducted in more than 1 center) study to assess the PK of bortezomib and to provide expanded access to bortezomib for 14 Taiwanese participants with multiple myeloma who have received at least 2 previous lines of therapy (medicine or medical care given to a participant for a disease or condition) and are refractory (not responding to treatment) to or have relapsed (the return of a medical problem) after their last therapy. Eligible participants will receive bortezomib 1.3 milligram (mg) per meter square (m^2) on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of each 3-week cycle for up to 8 cycles. Blood samples for PK assessment will be collected on specified time points of Day 1, Day 8, and Day 11 of Cycle 1. Efficacy of the participants will primarily be evaluated by recording 'response to treatment' and 'Karnofsky Performance Status'. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Number of Participants With Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) Score at Baseline
Time frame: Baseline
The KPS Index allows participants to be classified as per their functional impairment (abnormal function). This can be used to compare effectiveness of different therapies (medicine or medical care given to a participant for a disease or condition) and to assess the prognosis (outlook, probable outcomes) in individual participants. KPS was recorded on an 11-point scale (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100.) where '0=Dead' and '100=Normal, no complaints, no evidence of disease'. The lower the Karnofsky score, the worse the survival for most serious illnesses.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Bortezomib in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Johnson & Johnson Taiwan Ltd.
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 5 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 16 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 16 May 2013). 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?
Number of Participants With Response to Treatment at Day 1 of Cycle 5 (time frame: Day 1 of Cycle 5). The study lists 29 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 16 May 2013.
