About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Open Label Study of SL-401 in Combination With Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone in Relapsed or Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

A Phase 1/2, Open Label Study of SL-401 in Combination with Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone In Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Read the detailed description

This study is a phase 1/2 multicenter, open-label study of SL-401 (tagraxofusp-erzs) in combination with standard doses of pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM). The study will be conducted in 2 phases: Phase 1 is the dose-escalation phase to determine the maximum tested dose (MTD) of SL-401 in combination with standard doses of pomalidomide and dexamethasone. In Phase 1, each evaluated SL-401 dose level will incorporate an initial "Run-in Cycle" (i.e. cycle 1) of single agent SL-401 in at least 3 patients; following the Run-in Cycle, patients who have not experienced a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) will receive combination SL-401/pomalidomide and dexamethasone in cycles 2 and beyond. All patients in Phase 2 will receive 1 cycle of SL-401 monotherapy in cycle 1, followed by combination of SL-401/pomalidomide/dexamethasone in cycle 2 and beyond. The dose of SL-401 will be the MTD of SL-401 or MTD given in combination with pomalidomide/dexamethasone determined during Phase 1.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With Dose-limiting Toxicities and Treatment-emergent Adverse Events

    To evaluate the safety of single agent SL-401 in an initial run-in cycle in patients with multiple myeloma

    Measured: For a 28-day cycle, Cycle 1

  2. Number of Patients With Treatment-related Adverse Events

    To evaluate the safety of single agent SL-401 in an initial run-in cycle in patients with multiple myeloma

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  3. Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation of Study Drug

    To evaluate the safety of single agent SL-401 in an initial run-in cycle in patients with multiple myeloma (MM)

    Measured: Up to 12 Months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Response Rate

    Overall response rate is defined as complete response + very good partial response + partial response and clinical benefit rate (CR + VGPR + PR + minimal response [MR]) based on International Myeloma Working Group-defined response criteria and the duration of response (DOR) in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients.

    Measured: Up to 12 Months

  2. Progression-free Survival

    Per International Myeloma Working Group Response Criteria, progression/progressive disease is defined as increase of >25% from lowest response value in any 1 of the following: serum M-component (the absolute increase must be >0.5 g/dL)4 and/or urine M-component (the absolute increase must be >200 mg/24 h) and/or; only in patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein, the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels. The absolute increase must be >10 mg/dL; only in patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein and without measurable disease by FLC levels; bone marrow plasma cell percentage (absolute % must be ≥10%); definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas or definite increase in the size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas; development of hypercalcemia (corrected serum calcium >11.5 mg/dL) that can be attributed solely to the plasma cell proliferative disorder.

    Measured: Up to 12 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing SL-401 7 µg/kg/day and SL-401 9 µg/kg/day in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. at 3 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 25 inclusion and 18 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 17 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Nov 2023). 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 Patients With Dose-limiting Toxicities and Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (time frame: For a 28-day cycle, Cycle 1). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02661022, which also lists 40 linked publications.

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 17 Apr 2024.
