What is being measured

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

  1. Overall response

    Overall response is composed by biochemical, lymph node and symptom response, is the primary outcome of this study. According to the CDCN response criteria, an overall CR (complete response) requires a complete biochemical, lymph node, and symptomatic response; and overall PR (partial response) requires nothing less than a PR across all categories, but not meeting criteria for CR; an overall SD (stable disease) requires no PD (progression disease) in any of the categories and not meeting the criteria for CR or PR; an overall PD occurs when any category has a PD.

    Measured: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Time to initial response

    defined as the time to achieve the first PR or CR. This outcome can be further divided into time to initial overall response, time to initial symptomatic response, time to initial biochemical response, time to initial lymph node response

    Measured: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.

  2. Time to best response

    defined as the time to achieve the best response (either PR or CR). This outcome can be further divided into time to best overall response, time to best symptomatic response, time to best biochemical response, time to best lymph node response;

    Measured: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    defined as the time to disease PD

    Measured: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    defined as the time to patients' death

    Measured: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.

  5. Change in PHQ-9 score

    PHQ-9 score (Patient Health Questionnaire scale-9) is a nine-item self-administered instrument to assess depressive symptoms which incorporates the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition) classification for major depressive disorder. Each item is scored 0 - 3, which results in a range of scores between 0 and 27. PHQ-9 scores are interpreted as follows: (1) score <5, no depression; (2) score 5 - 9, mild depression; (3) score 10 - 14, moderate depression; (4) score 15 - 19, moderately severe depression; and (5) score 20 - 27,severe depression.

    Measured: From Day 1 of the BCD treatment until 12 months after the treatment

  6. Change in hemoglobin level

    hemoglobin with g/L as unit of measure

    Measured: From baseline until 12 months after the treatment

  7. Change in IL-6 (interleukin-6)

    IL-6 level with pg/ml as unit of measure

    Measured: From baseline until 12 months after the treatment

  8. Change in CRP

    CRP (c-reactive protein) level with mg/L as unit of measure

    Measured: From baseline until 12 months after the treatment

  9. Change in ESR

    ESR (eerythrocyte sedimentation rate) level with mm/h as unit of measure

    Measured: From baseline until 12 months after the treatment

  10. Change in IgG level

    IgG (immunoglobin G) level with g/L as unit of measure

    Measured: From baseline until 12 months after the treatment

  11. Change in MCD-related overall symptom score

    Change of MCD symptom scores. MCD symptom score (MCD disease related overall symptom score) is a 34-item score based on NCI-CTCAE (V4.0) adverse events. Each item is scored 0-5, which results in a range of scores between 0 and 170. More scores indicate more severe disease activity.

    Measured: From baseline until 12 months after the treatment

  12. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 ( ≥1 grade)

    Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (patients with grades ≥1 would be included)

    Measured: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.

  13. Number of participants with treatment-related serious adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 ( ≥3 grade)

    Number of participants with treatment-related serious adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (patients with grades ≥3 would be included)

    Measured: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bortezomib, Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethason in people with Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman's Disease, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall response (time frame: 12 months after the last patient begins study treatment.). 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 NCT03982771, 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 12 Jun 2019.
