About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-Label, Multicenter, Dose-Escalation and Expansion Study of Venetoclax in Combination With Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This was an open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of venetoclax combined with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) who received at least 1 prior line of therapy with documented evidence of progression during or after the participant's last treatment regimen. The study was designed to consist of 2 parts: Part 1 (dose escalation) and Part 2 (dose expansion). For Part 2 the participants were to be divided into 2 cohorts, participants positive for t(11;14) translocation and participants negative for t(11;14) translocation.

Read the detailed description

Following communication of the results of the primary progression-free survival (PFS) analysis from the Phase 3 BELLINI study (Study M14-031; NCT02755597), the company-sponsored MM studies were placed on partial clinical hold (PCH) in March 2019 by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration and enrollment was halted. The sponsor did not pursue release of the PCH for this study; therefore, enrollment was not re-opened. In accordance with the terms of the PCH, participants who were deriving clinical benefit were allowed to continue to receive treatment. One participant was still active in Part 1 of the study when the sponsor decided not to pursue release of the PCH (in January 2020) and, therefore, continued to receive treatment and have regular assessments until disease progression. The study was discontinued when the last participant completed study treatment. No participants were enrolled in Part 2 of the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either reasonable possibility or no reasonable possibility. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug. For more details on adverse events please see the Adverse Event section.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until 30 days following last dose of study drug (up to 70 weeks)

  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants experiencing a stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), or partial response (PR) using the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) 2016 criteria for disease response and progression. CR= negative immunofixation of serum and urine and disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas, and < 5% plasma cells in bone marrow; sCR= CR + normal serum free light chain (FLC) ratio and absence of clonal cells in bone marrow; VGPR= serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis or ≥ 90% reduction in serum M-protein level + urine M-protein level < 100 mg per 24 hours; PR= ≥ 50% reduction of serum M-protein and reduction in 24-hour urinary M-protein by ≥ 90% or to < 200 mg per 24 hours.

    Measured: Approximately 15 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the number of days from the date of first dose of any study drug to the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. All disease progression was to be included regardless of whether the event occurred during or after the participant was taking any study drug.

    Measured: Approximately 20 months

  2. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR for a given participant is defined as the number of days from the date of that participant's first documented response (Partial Response [PR] or better) to the date of first documented disease progression (PD) or death due to multiple myeloma (MM), whichever occurs first. If the participant with a documented response did not have an event of PD and the participant had not died due to MM, the participant's data was to be censored.

    Measured: Approximately 15 months

  3. Time-to-progression (TTP)

    TTP for a given participant is defined as the number of days from the date of first dose to the date of first documented disease progression (PD) or death due to multiple myeloma (MM), whichever occurs first. If the participant did not have an event of PD and the participant had not died due to MM, the participant's data was to be censored.

    Measured: Approximately 15 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Venetoclax, Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by AbbVie at 11 sites in 3 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 14 inclusion and 5 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 30 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States, Spain, United Kingdom. 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 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 30 Jun 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 Participants With Adverse Events (time frame: From first dose of study drug until 30 days following last dose of study drug (up to 70 weeks)). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03567616, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2021.
