About this study

Official title: VLX1570 and Low-Dose Dexamethasone in Relapsed or Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma: A Clinical and Correlative Phase 1/2 Study

This is a phase 1/2 single arm study to determine the safety and efficacy of VLX1570 IV infusion administered with low dose dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 1/2, open label study to determine the safety and efficacy of VLX1570 intravenous (IV) infusion administered with low dose dexamethasone on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16 of a 28-day cycle in patients with confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma with relapsed or relapsed and refractory disease (RRMM).

The phase 1 trial design follows an Initial Accelerated Titration design followed by a traditional "3+3" cohort design to establish maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RPTD) for the phase 2 portion of the study. It is anticipated that patients will receive 6 treatment cycles. In the absence of unacceptable toxicity and disease progression, patients have the option of continuing treatment beyond 6 cycles, if the investigator determines that the patient may benefit further from it.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of VLX1570 with low dose dexamethasone

    Measured: Duration of treatment (expected avg. 6 months) and up to 30 days following the last dose/off-study

  2. Clinical benefit rate (minimal response or better) in patients associated with administration of VLX1570 with low dose dexamethasone

    Measured: From date of first dose until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Frequency and severity of adverse events associated with the combination of VLX1570 and low dose dexamethasone

    Measured: Duration of treatment (expected avg. 6 months) and up to 30 days following the last dose/off-study

  2. Pharmacokinetic profile of VLX1570 following IV infusion

    PK parameters include Cmax, Tmax, AUC, half-life, clearance

    Measured: 48 hours post dose

  3. Investigate Objective Response per International Myeloma Working Group criteria at any dose of VLX1570 with low dose dexamethasone.

    SPEP/UPEP, IFE, SFLC

    Measured: Pre-dose cycle 1, 2 and cycles on new dose, and in cycle 5 (or at time of CR or PD).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing VLX1570 and dexamethasone in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Vivolux AB at 1 site 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 20 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 combined 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.

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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Dose limiting tox is observed. Study put on full clinical hold.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of VLX1570 with low dose dexamethasone (time frame: Duration of treatment (expected avg. 6 months) and up to 30 days following the last dose/off-study). The study lists 2 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 11 May 2018.
