What participants receive

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

  • SyB L-0501Drug

    The administration of SyB L-0501 at 90 mg/m^2/day by 60-minute intravenous infusion for 2 consecutive days followed by 26 days of monitoring. This is considered to be one cycle and may be repeated up to 6 times. Dose reduction or discontinuation is permitted from the second cycle as necessary according to adverse events and the results of monitoring during the previous cycle.

    Measured: up to around 44 weeks

  5. Time to Treatment Failure (TTF)

    Using the registration date as the start date, TTF with relapse/recurrence or progression, death regardless of the cause, and early discontinuation of treatment as events are to be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier estimator and the 50% point according to the Greenwood's formula and 95% confidence interval are to be calculated.

    Measured: up to around 44 weeks

  6. Duration of Response (DOR)

    From initial response (PR or higher), DOR with relapse/recurrence or progression, and death, regardless of cause, as events, are to be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier estimator and the 50% point according to the Greenwood's formula and 95% confidence interval are to be calculated.

    Measured: up to around 44 weeks

  7. Overall Survival (OS)

    Using the registration date as the start date, OS with death, regardless of the cause, as events, are to be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier estimator and the 50% point according to the Greenwood's formula and 95% confidence interval are to be calculated.

    Measured: up to around 44 weeks

  8. Adverse Events

    All adverse events occurring during the administration of the investigational product are to be examined for safety by cross tabulation lists and tables of incidence from the viewpoint of relationship with the drug, disease severity and medicine treated group.

    Measured: up to around 44 weeks

  9. Number of Subjects With Abnormality (Grade ≥3) in Laboratory Test Values

    Abnormalities in laboratory test values in overall study period were analyzed. Severity of abnormalities were evaluated using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). grade 1 : mild, grade 2 : moderate, grade 3 : severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening grade, 4 : life threatening or disabling grade, 5 : death related to adverse event

    Measured: up to around 44 weeks

  10. Number of Abnormalities (Grade ≥3) in Laboratory Test Values

    Abnormalities in laboratory test values in overall study period were analyzed. Severity of abnormalities were evaluated using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). grade 1 : mild, grade 2 : moderate, grade 3 : severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening grade, 4 : life threatening or disabling grade, 5 : death related to adverse event

    Measured: up to around 44 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SyB L-0501 in people with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma, run by SymBio Pharmaceuticals at 14 sites in Japan.

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 32 inclusion and 21 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 6 Feb 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Japan. 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 9 Jan 2015). 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?

Response Rate [Stringent CR (sCR)+Complete Response (CR)+Very Good PR (VGPR)+Partial Response (PR)]Based on International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Criteria (time frame: up to around 44 weeks). 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 6 Feb 2015.
