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

Who may be able to join

  • Males and females ≥ at 18 the time of signing the informed consent document.
  • Documented diagnosis of multiple myeloma and receiving thalidomide containing therapy or initiating thalidomide-containing therapy.
  • Subjects must agree to temporally discontinue all antimyeloma therapies other than the study drug (thalidomide) at least 7 days prior to the PK phase (Day 1) and through post study procedures on Day 6.
  • All Females of Child Bearing Potential (FCBP) and male subjects must be counseled about pregnancy precautions and risks of fetal exposure.
  • Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must:

  • Either commit to true abstinence from heterosexual contact (which must be reviewed on a monthly basis) or agree to use, and be able to comply with, effective contraception without interruption, 28 days prior to starting study drug, during the study therapy (including dose interruptions), and for 28 days after discontinuation of study therapy.
  • All other females must had either a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy at least 6 months before screening (proper documentation required) OR been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e. who has not had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months). For this study, in subjects who are postmenopausal, estradiol level must be <30 pg/mL and plasma FSH must be >40 IU/L at screening.
  • Males (including those who have had a vasectomy):

  • All subjects must also be counseled against sharing thalidomide and donating blood during and within 4 weeks of discontinuing thalidomide therapy

Who cannot join

  • Any significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from participating in the study (according to the Thalidomide product/prescribing information).
  • Any condition including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study (according to the Thalidomide product information).
  • Any condition that confounds the ability to interpret data from the study (includes conditions that may affect the absorption of thalidomide, such as gastric bypass surgery, colon resection, etc.).
  • Pregnant or lactating females.
  • Any surgical or medical conditions that might significantly alter the absorption of study drug, such as gastrectomy, gastroenterostomy, bowel resection, pancreatic injury, or pancreatitis. (Cholecystecomy and appendectomy are permissible.)
  • Use of antimyeloma agents (other than thalidomide) or investigational agents within 7 days before the start of the PK phase.
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Prior history of allergic reactions to thalidomide, thalidomide excipients (as referenced in the IB), or to related drugs (ie, lenalidomide).
  • Prior history of malignancies, other than multiple myeloma, unless the subject has been free of the disease for >= 3 years (from the time of signing the ICD). Exceptions include the following:
  • Basal cell carcinoma of the skin
  • Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
  • Carcinoma in situ of the cervix
  • Carcinoma in situ of the breast
  • Incidental histological finding of prostate cancer (TNM stage of T1a or T1b)

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Thalidomide Following Multiple Oral Dosing in Subjects With Multiple Myeloma

Objective of this study is to characterize the steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) of thalidomide when given orally as monotherapy to subjects with multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, PK study in multiple myeloma subjects who are currently receiving thalidomide-containing therapy or are newly diagnosed. The study will consist of a screening phase, a baseline phase, a PK phase with a 5-day period of thalidomide treatment (200 mg/day), and an end-of-study evaluation on Day 6. Subjects will have frequent blood samples drawn for PK assessments on Days 5 and 6 in an inpatient setting.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Thalidomide Celgene™ in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Celgene at 7 sites in 2 countries.

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 12 inclusion and 14 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 12 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in France, United Kingdom. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Pharmacokinetic parameters for plasma thalidomide: Tmax Cmax AUC t1/2 CL/F V/F (time frame: predose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 24 hours postdose). 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 NCT01937442, 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 12 Nov 2019.
