What participants receive

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

  • CarfilzomibDrug

    Also called PR-171, PR171, Kyprolis® (carfilzomib) for Injection

    Carfilzomib administered as a 30-minute intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 of each 28-day cycle. On Days 1 and 2 of Cycle 1, all participants received carfilzomib at 20 mg/m².

  • CyclophosphamideDrug

    Cyclophosphamide administered orally (PO) at the dose of 300 mg/m² on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle.

  • DexamethasoneDrug

    Dexamethasone administered PO or IV at 40 mg on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 28-day cycle.

Carfilzomib, Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone (CCd)ExperimentalParticipants received carfilzomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone for up to eight 28-day cycles, or until progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or death.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    The MTD is defined as the highest carfilzomib dose at which fewer than 33% of participants experience a treatment-related dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first 28-day cycle. The number of participants who experienced a DLT is reported.

    Dose-limiting toxicities are defined as any of the following carfilzomib-related adverse events:

    Nonhematologic:

    • ≥ Grade 3 non-hematological toxicity
    • ≥ Grade 3 acute kidney injury (creatinine > 3 × baseline or > 4.0 mg/dL) lasting > 72 hours

    Hematologic:

    • Grade 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] < 0.5 × 10^9/L) lasting for > 7 days
    • Febrile neutropenia (ANC < 1.0 × 10^9/L with a fever ≥ 38.3ºC) of any duration
    • Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (< 25 × 10^9/L) that persists for > 14 days, despite holding treatment
    • Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia associated with > Grade 1 bleeding

    Measured: First cycle treatment over 28-days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Participants were evaluated for disease response and progression by the investigator according to the International Myeloma Working Group-Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC). Disease response and progression assessments included serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP), urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP), serum immunofixation, serum free light chain (SFLC), bone marrow sample (including fluorescent in situ hybridization [FISH]), plasmacytoma evaluation, and skeletal survey. Overall response rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a best response of stringent complete response, complete response, very good partial response (VGPR), or partial response.

    Measured: Disease response was assessed at the end of each cycle and 30 days after the last treatment; maximum treatment duration was 32 weeks.

  2. Time To Response (TTR)

    Time to response is defined as months from treatment start to first documentation of response of partial response or better. Summary of time to response includes confirmed responders of PR or better only.

    Measured: Disease response was assessed at the end of each cycle and 30 days after the last treatment; maximum treatment duration was 32 weeks.

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Adverse events (AEs) were graded according to the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 4.03 and using the following scale:

    Grade 1 = Mild, Grade 3 = Moderate; Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life-threatening; Grade 5 = Fatal.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until 30 days after last dose; median duration of treatment was 31 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Carfilzomib, Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Amgen at 9 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 12 inclusion and 9 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 30 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Oct 2016). 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 Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: First cycle treatment over 28-days). 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 30 May 2017.
