About this study

Official title: Bortezomib With Dexamethasone as the First-line Treatment for Immunoglobulin Light Chain(AL) Amyloidosis

Although the use of bortezomib has reported efficacy in amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis, the role of bortezomib with dexamethasone (BD) in the first-line treatment of patients with AL amyloidosis should be determined. In this study, the investigators evaluated the efficacy and safety of BD as the first-line treatment of patients with AL amyloidosis.

Read the detailed description

This study included patients with newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis who were treated with a BD regimen in Jinling hospital. The AL amyloidosis diagnosis was confirmed by renal biopsy, and the assessment of organ involvement were based on consensus criteria. The clinical and laboratory data were collected at the beginning of each cycle and every 3 months thereafter. The initial BD regimen included bortezomib (1.3 mg/m2 i.v.) and dexamethasone (40 mg i.v.) twice weekly for 2 weeks (days 1, 4, 8, and 11), which was followed by a 10-day rest period (days 12-21). The investigators evaluated the efficacy and safety of BD as the first-line treatment of patients with AL amyloidosis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Amyloidosis, run by Zhi-Hong Liu, M.D..

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 6 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 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Hematologic response rate (time frame: 3 months). 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 Jun 2015.
