About this study

Official title: Iceland Screens Treats or Prevents Multiple Myeloma (iStopMM): A Nationwide Phase 2 Trial of Patients With Smoldering and Active Multiple Myeloma (MM)

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of treating patients with intermediate risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) with combinational therapy with dexamethasone and lenalidomide (Rd) and patients with high risk SMM with combinational therapy with Rd and carfilzomib.

Read the detailed description

This is an open label, single center, phase II study assessing the efficacy of treating patients with intermediate-risk smoldering myeloma (SMM) with combinational therapy with dexamethasone and lenalidomide and treating patients with high risk SMM and active multiple myeloma (MM) with combinational therapy with dexamethasone, lenalidomide and carfilzomib. Patients that are eligible for this study are participants in the IstopMM study (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03327597) that are diagnosed with intermediate or high-risk SMM or active MM.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of MRD negativity

    Minimal residual disease (MRD) as determined VDJ sequencing

    Measured: 36 months after study enrollment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression free survival

    Rates of progression free survival with progression being determined by IMWG response criteria

    Measured: Up until 3 years after treatment

  2. Overall survival

    Overall survival as determened by the Icelandic National Cause of Death Registry

    Measured: Up until 3 years after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in people with Multiple Myeloma and Smoldering Multiple Myeloma, run by Landspitali University Hospital at 1 site in Iceland.

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 24 inclusion and 16 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Iceland. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Rate of MRD negativity (time frame: 36 months after study enrollment). 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 16 Aug 2019.
