About this study

Official title: A Phase II Clinical Trial of PXD101 in Patients With Advanced Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this open-label, non-randomized trial is to assess the safety and effectiveness of PXD101, both alone and in combination with dexamethasone, in patients with advanced multiple myeloma. PXD101 is a new, potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. Various members of this class of drugs have shown activity in preclinical studies and in initial clinical trials of multiple myeloma and lymphoma. Furthermore, HDAC inhibitors, including PXD101, have been shown to sensitize myeloma cells to the killing effect of other chemotherapeutic agents, including dexamethasone, a well-established agent in relapsing myeloma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PXD101 and Dexamethasone in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Valerio Therapeutics at 10 sites in 4 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 17 inclusion and 12 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 8 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, Norway, United Kingdom, Denmark. 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?

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.

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 8 Jul 2015.
