About this study

Official title: Reduced-Intensity Allogeneic HSC Transplantation From HLA-Matched Related and Unrelated Donors for Patients With Multiple Myeloma - A Multi-Center Trial

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of giving reduced-intensity conditioning followed by donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) and how well it works in treating patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and melphalan, and total-body irradiation (TBI) before a donor PBSCT helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving mycophenolate mofetil and cyclosporine after transplant may stop this from happening.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of this approach by determining the 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

II. To evaluate day 100 non-relapse mortality.

III. To determine the incidences of grades II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and chronic extensive GVHD.

OUTLINE:

PREPARATIVE REGIMEN: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days -5 to -3 and intermediate-dose melphalan IV over 15-20 minutes on day -2. Patients also undergo low-dose TBI on day 0.

TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo allogeneic PBSCT on day 0.

IMMUNOSUPPRESSION: Patients receive cyclosporine orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days -3 to 80 with taper to day 180 (related donors) or on days -3 to 100 with taper to day 180 (unrelated donors). Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil PO BID on days 0-27 (related donors) or thrice daily (TID) on days 0-40 with taper to day 96 (unrelated donors).

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, and then annually thereafter for 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. PFS

    PFS will be calculated for all patients from the date of transplant until the time of progression, relapse, death, or the date the patient was last known to be in remission. Progressive disease is defined as greater than 25% increase in serum or urine M proteins compared to best response status after autologous transplant and/or appearance of new lytic bone lesions or plasmocytomas.

    Measured: At 1 year post-transplant

  2. Non-relapse Mortality

    Early NRM will be monitored in a sequential fashion.

    Measured: At day 100

  3. Incidence of Acute GVHD (Grades III-IV)

    Number of patients with Grade III-IV acute GVHD post-transplant. Severe GVHD will be monitored in a sequential fashion.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  4. Incidence of Chronic (Extensive) GVHD

    Number of subjects with chronic extensive GVHD post-transplant. Severe GVHD will be monitored in a sequential fashion.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. OS

    Number of subjects surviving. OS will be estimated by the method of Kaplan and Meier. Confidence intervals will be estimated.

    Measured: At 6 months and then every year thereafter, up to 5 years

  2. Engraftment

    Number of subjects who engrafted post-transplant. Engraftment will be monitored in a sequential fashion.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Relapse Rate

    Number of subjects who relapsed after achieving CR post-transplant. Relapse rate will be summarized using cumulative incidence estimates.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  4. Response Rate

    Number of subjects who achieved CR post-transplant. Response rate will be summarized using cumulative incidence estimates.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing fludarabine phosphate, melphalan and total-body irradiation in people with Refractory Multiple Myeloma, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 2 sites in 2 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 10 inclusion and 29 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 16 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States, Italy. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 16 Oct 2017). 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?

PFS (time frame: At 1 year post-transplant). 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 16 Oct 2017.
