Trial summary

Progress in the treatment of myeloma and myeloma bone disease has substantially increased overall survival, but relapse is inevitable and better treatment is needed. The bone microenvironment is tremendously complex, so that targeting single interactions between tumor and bone is unlikely to be effective. Read more about this study

About this study

Progress in the treatment of myeloma and myeloma bone disease has substantially increased overall survival, but relapse is inevitable and better treatment is needed. The bone microenvironment is tremendously complex, so that targeting single interactions between tumor and bone is unlikely to be effective. Treatments need to block centrally important, multifunctional pathways. The investigators data point to a central role of the osteocyte to induce heparanase, a multifunctional mediator of myeloma bone disease. Increased heparanase due to FGF23 may make systemic inhibitors of heparanase less effective in bone than elsewhere. FGF23 neutralizing antibodies have been developed for non-cancer conditions of FGF23 excess, such as chronic kidney disease (Shimada \& Fukamoto, 2012), and could be used in MM alone or in combination with heparanase inhibitors. Complete neutralization of FGF23 has adverse effects, but neutralization of FGF23 excess may be practical, or in the future, suppression of excess FGF23 biosynthesis by osteocytes.

The investigators hope to determine serum FGF23 and heparanase, Dkk1 and plasma klotho levels in patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed myeloma compared to healthy controls with this exploratory study.

Multiple Myeloma PatientsPatients with multiple myeloma will undergo a blood draw and a bone marrow aspirate. Extra bone marrow will be taken for study purposes only.
Healthy subjectsHealthy subjects and multiple myeloma patients will undergo a blood draw

What is being measured

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

  1. Molecular interactions between multiple myeloma and osteocytes

    To determine FGF23 and heparanase, Dkk1 and plasma klotho levels increase in patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed myeloma compared to healthy controls.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Multiple Myeloma osteocytes and tumor staging

    To correlate the FGF23, heparanase, Dkk1 and plasma klotho to tumor staging

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  2. Multiple Myeloma osteocytes and Type I collagen fragments on bone resorption

    To correlate the FGF23, heparanase, Dkk1 and plasma klotho to extent of bone resorption using serum type I collagen fragments ICTP and CTX

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma, run by Attaya Suvannasankha at 2 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 8 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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.

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?

Molecular interactions between multiple myeloma and osteocytes (time frame: Up to 4 years). 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 8 Sep 2023.
