About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-Label, Safety and Efficacy Study of High Dose Melphalan Hydrochloride for Injection for Myeloablative Conditioning in Multiple Myeloma Patients Undergoing Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection works to treat multiple myeloma. It will also learn about the safety of high dose Melphalan HCl for Injection. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection deplete bone marrow activity which results in a better outcome of patients'own stem cell (blood-forming cell) transplantation? What medical problems do participants have when taking high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection? How fast is the high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection cleared out from blood?

Read more

Participants will:

  • Take high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection for 2 days
  • Have stem cell transplantation one day after treatment
  • Stay in the hospital for at least 10days and visit the clinic once every week for the first month after transplantation and every month after for checkups and tests.
Read the detailed description

Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a standard of care in transplant-eligible MM patients which has been demonstrated with a better complete remission rate (CR) and with longer survival. High-dose melphalan (200 mg/m2) has been the most commonly used conditioning regimen for ASCT in MM. EVOMELA (melphalan HCl for Injection) stabilized with Captisol, a specially modified cyclodextrin, has been believed to have better solubility and stability upon reconstitution which result in decreased toxicity, increased convenience and flexibility of administration without comprising efficacious data. Melphalan HCl for Injection has been approved by NMPA as a standard conditioning drug for ASCT in MM patients. The current study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and PK profile for high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection as a myeloablative conditioning regimen in Chinese symptomatic transplant-eligible MM patients.

    To record the percentage of patients who achieve myeloablation which is defined as absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <0.5 × 109/L, absolute lymphocyte count [ALC] <0.1 × 109/L, or platelet count <20,000/mm3 in 2 consecutive daily assessments.

    Measured: 95±5 days after ASCT

  2. Time to achieveing myeloablation

    To record the time, in days, from the date of first dose of High-dose Melphalan HCL for Injection to the date of myoloablation which is defined as absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <0.5 × 109/L, absolute lymphocyte count [ALC] <0.1 × 109/L, or platelet count <20,000/mm3 in 2 consecutive daily assessments.

    Measured: 95±5 days after ASCT

  4. Time to achieving platelet engraftment

    To record the time, in days, from the date of Auto-HSCT to the date when untransfused platelet measurement >20,000/mm3 in 3 consecutive daily assessments.

    Measured: 95±5 days after ASCT

  5. Incidence of Treatment-related Motality (TRM)

    To characterize the safety, tolerability of High-dose Melphalan HCL for Myeloablation in MM Patients With Auto-HSC Transplantation by recording the incidence of death without relapse or progression of the disease.

    Measured: 95±5 days after ASCT

  6. Incidence and severity of AEs and SAEs, including changes in laboratory values

    To characterize the safety, tolerability of High-dose Melphalan HCL for Injection for Myeloablation in MM Patients With Auto-HSC Transplantation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Melphalan Hydrochloride for Injection in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by CASI Pharmaceuticals (China) Co., Ltd. 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 10 inclusion and 19 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 23 May 2024. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Rate of patients achieveing myeloablation (time frame: 95±5 days after ASCT). The study lists 6 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 May 2024.
