About this study

Official title: Clinical and Sociodemographic Characterization of Multiple Myeloma Patients With Symptomatic Relapse and/or Refractory Disease in Portugal: an Observational, Multicenter Study

The main aim of this study is to see how people with MM respond to previous or current treatment.

Participants will be treated according to their clinic's standard practice. Each participant will fill out a study questionnaire during a routine doctor visit. Information collected from past medical records will also be used.

Read the detailed description

This is a non- interventional, retrospective epidemiological study of participants with MM. The study will characterize MM participants with symptomatic relapse and/or refractory (R/R) disease.

The study will enroll approximately 151 participants. The study will have a retrospective data collection referring to previous 5 years from participants' records and medical charts regarding diagnosis, disease activity, treatment patterns, and healthcare resources while quality of life (QoL) will be obtained from European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ)-C30 and EORTC QLQ-MY20 questionnaires. All participants will be enrolled in one observational group.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in Portugal. The overall time to participate in this study is limited to completion of a questionnaire at the time of joining the study.

    Clinical variables will include age (at diagnosis); MM type; international staging system (ISS) disease stage; Revised-ISS (R-ISS) disease stage; SliMCRAB signs at time of diagnosis: plasma cell bone marrow infiltration greater than or equal to (>=) 60 percent (%), serum free light chain (FLC) ratio >=100, >1 focal lesion visible on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with 5 millimeter (mm) or greater, increased blood calcium, renal failure, anemia, bone lesions: one or more osteolytic lesion on standard radiograph, computed tomography (CT) or Positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT); cytogenetic abnormalities at time of diagnosis (t[4;14], t[11;14], t[14;16], t[14;20], t[6;14], trisomies, d[17p], g[1q]/ others); risk according to cytogenetic profile at diagnosis (mSMART v2 and mSMART v3); previous relapses (before the latest); stem cell transplant (yes/no); eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG: 0-4) on diagnosis.

    Measured: Day 1

  3. Number of MM Participants Categorized by Clinical Variables at Last R/R Episode

    Clinical variables include date of latest symptomatic relapse and/or refractory episode; ISS disease stage, CRAB signs; other clinical variables (plasmacytomas: medullary or extramedullary, diffuse osteopenia, fractures, neurological symptoms, infections, lactate dehydrogenase levels, paraprotein levels, free light chain levels); concomitant diseases (diabetes, neuropathy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, liver failure, psychiatric and/or neurological disorders, any other secondary disorders); cytogenetic abnormalities at diagnosis; risk according to cytogenetic profile at relapse; treatment started after latest symptomatic relapse and/or refractory episode.

    Measured: Day 1

  4. Number of Participants Categorized by Current Treatment

    Type of treatment will include therapeutic group.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants Categorized by Sociodemographic Characteristics at the Latest Symptomatic R/R Episode per Type of Treatment

    Sociodemographic variables will include age (in years), sex (male or female), BMI, area of residence (rural or urban), educational level (illiterate, no studies (can only read/write), primary studies, secondary studies, or university studies), cohabitation (lives alone, lives with the family, lives alone with help from a caregiver, daily, 2-3 times/week, permanent or night-time), degree of dependence (independent, dependent grade I - requires help to perform IADL at least once a day, dependent grade II - needs help to perform IADLs 2 or 3 times a day or dependent grade III - needs help to perform IADLs several times a day), need for financial assistance (yes/no), smoking habit (yes/no), alcohol use (yes/no).

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Number of MM Participants Categorized by Clinical Variables at Latest Symptomatic R/R Episode per Type of MM

    Clinical variables will include- date of latest symptomatic R/R episode; SLiMCRAB signs at latest symptomatic R/R episode: plasma cell bone marrow infiltration >=60 %, serum FLC ratio >=100, >1 focal lesion visible on MRI with 5 mm or greater, increased blood calcium, renal failure, anemia, bone lesions: one or more osteolytic lesion on standard radiograph, CT or PET-CT; other clinical variables at latest symptomatic R/R episode include- plasmacytomas (medullary/extramedullary); diffuse osteopenia; fractures; neurological symptoms (MM related); infections; lactose dehydrogenase (LDH); paraprotein levels (gram per liter [g/L]) (serum and urine) free light chain levels (g/L) (serum and urine).

    Measured: Day 1

  3. Number of Participants Categorized by Relevant Variables that are not Currently Collected in Clinical Record and Could Influence in the Disease Management at Relapse

    New relevant variables will include factors mentioned by the participant as relevant to the disease management (example, family support, employment status); type of transportation used to receive treatment; mean cost in Euros per month with transportation to receive treatment, mean of hospital visits per month since last treatment was initiated, mean scheduled and non-scheduled participant's visits to the hospital, days of hospitalization, and specialists consulted; consultations, days of hospitalization, medical appointments and specialists consulted by type of treatment.

    Measured: Day 1

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 MM Participants Categorized by Sociodemographic Variables (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 4 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 23 Oct 2023.
