Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Each participant should be included in the study only once. For study sites with a system that allows identification of participants with MM electronically, for example using International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10), this will be the preferred method of participant screening for eligibility. For study sites without such capabilities, participant screening will rely on manual selection of institutional charts or other means. In these cases, every effort should be made to identify every possible eligible participant.

Who may be able to join

  • Provision of written informed consent, for participants who are alive and not lost to follow-up (for participants already deceased or lost follow up, informed consent should have been waived by the corresponding ethics review board [ERB]).
  • Documented diagnosis of MM by the responsible physician between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2016.
  • Absence of any plasma-cell disorder other than MM.
  • Absence of any immunoglobulin-related disorder other than MM.

Who cannot join

None listed.

About this study

Official title: Multiple Myeloma Profile in Brazil: A Retrospective Observational Analysis

The purpose of this study is to present a descriptive analysis of demographic and clinical characteristics of the participants, as well as of the treatment patterns for multiple myeloma (MM) in Brazil.

Read the detailed description

Participants with a diagnosis of MM will be observed in this retrospective study. Data collected for the study will include identification, demographic, baseline data on MM, additional baseline laboratory, initial treatment for MM, subsequent treatment for MM, and outcome.

The study will enroll approximately 1000 participants.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in five geographic regions of Brazil. For each participant, data collection will comprise the longest possible period of time since the diagnosis of MM (within the eligibility window of time, between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2016) and the cut-off date for data collection (December 31, 2016), unless a participant has died or been lost to follow-up before that. The study is planned to last for approximately 24 months since its initiation (initiation defined as the initiation visit for the first site).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Multiple Myeloma (MM) Participants Categorized by Clinical Characteristics

    MM clinical characteristics upon diagnosis were classified by eligibility criteria for transplantation (eligible/not eligible) and included: presence of plasma cells in the bone marrow by biopsy and aspiration, bone or extramedullary biopsy, plasma cells determined by immunohistochemistry (Yes/No/Unknown), plasma cells determined by flow cytometry (Yes/No/Unknown) hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia, and bone lesions features (more than one focal lesion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that is at least 5 mm or greater in size), presence of monoclonal proteins (immunoglobulin (Ig)G, IgG kappa, IgG lambda, IgA, IgA kappa, IgA lambda, kappa only, lambda only, IgD, IgE, IgM, Non-secretory and Unknown), free light chain ratio (serum involved / uninvolved free light chain ratio of 100 or greater, provided the absolute level of the involved light chain is at least 100 mg/L). Only categories with data are reported. Participants were counted multiple times in different categories.

    Measured: From initial diagnosis up to end of follow up treatment or to the retrospective cut-off date within the time of interest (between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2016) [approximately 11.7 years]

  2. Number of Multiple Myeloma (MM) Participants Categorized by Treatment Patterns

    Treatment patterns were collected from institutional charts [included public institution, private institution and both (90% public and 10% private) institutions] of participants in Brazil. The treatment patterns were collected as induction treatment, consolidation treatment, maintenance treatment performed at Baseline (at initial diagnosis) and as a induction treatment, maintenance treatment and type of treatment performed after transplantation, for second to tenth line of treatment. Only categories with data are reported. Participants were counted multiple times in different categories.

    Measured: From initial diagnosis up to end of follow up treatment or to the retrospective cut-off date within the time of interest (between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2016) [approximately 11.7 years]

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival was defined as the time elapsed between the date of diagnosis until death, with censoring of participants who were alive when last seen or who lost to follow up.

    Measured: From the date of diagnosis up to death within the period of interest (between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2016) or up to the end of this study [up to 11.7 years]

  2. Duration of Treatment

    Duration of treatment was defined with respect to selected lines or regimens of interest, considering the time elapsed from each treatment initiation to discontinuation, and censoring participants who lost to follow-up before discontinuation. Duration of treatment was classified by participants eligibility- eligible/not eligible for transplantation. The deaths occurred after treatment initiation to end of study are reported in categories 'Since Diagnosis to Death-Eligible and Not Eligible'.

    Measured: From treatment initiation up to discontinuation of treatment or lost to follow-up, whichever occurs first up to the end of this study (up to 11.7 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma, run by Takeda at 17 sites in Brazil.

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 4 inclusion and 0 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 Feb 2021. 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 Brazil. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Feb 2021). 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 Multiple Myeloma (MM) Participants Categorized by Clinical Characteristics (time frame: From initial diagnosis up to end of follow up treatment or to the retrospective cut-off date within the time of interest (between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2016) [approximately 11.7 years]). 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 8 Feb 2021.
