About this study

Official title: A Phase 1a/1b Multicenter, Single-Arm, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation Study to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose, Safety, and Preliminary Activity of Oral ACY-241 Alone and in Combination With Pomalidomide and Low-Dose Dexamethasone in Patients With Relapsed or Relapsed-and-Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This is a phase 1a/1b, multicenter, single-arm, open-label, dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and evaluate the safety and preliminary antitumor activity of ACY-241 for oral administration as monotherapy and in combination therapy with orally administered pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone in eligible patients with relapsed or relapsed-and-refractory multiple myeloma (MM).

Read the detailed description

During phase 1a, patients will receive 1 cycle of ACY-241 monotherapy. Patients who complete the ACY-241 monotherapy cycle without a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and are clinically stable may continue to phase 1b combination therapy, beginning with Cycle 2. During phase 1b, patients will receive ACY 241 in combination with pomalidomide and low dose dexamethasone at the currently approved pomalidomide dose and schedule. Each cohort of patients in phase 1a and phase 1b will consist of at least 3 patients. The first patient enrolled in each cohort of phase 1a will be observed for 1 week before enrollment of subsequent patients in the cohort. Patients who withdraw consent before entering phase 1b will be replaced. (Replacement patients must complete phase 1a prior to continuing to phase 1b.) Patients who experience a DLT or other unacceptable toxicity in Cycle 1 of phase 1a monotherapy or Cycle 2, the first cycle of phase 1b combination therapy, will be removed from study treatment. An assessment of the safety of treatment will be completed by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) prior to dose-escalation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ACY-241, Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Celgene at 17 sites in 5 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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States, France, Spain, Germany, Greece. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of efficacy). 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 of ACY-241 as monotherapy as assessed by dose limiting toxicities (time frame: Cycle 1 (28 days)). 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 9 Jul 2024.
