About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of PTK787/ZK 222584, a Novel, Oral Angiogenesis Inhibitor as Post Transplant Maintenance Therapy in Patients With Multiple Myeloma Following High Dose Chemotherapy and Autologous Stem Cell Transplant

The purpose of this study it to evaluate the efficacy of PTK787/ZK 222584, in inducing at least a 50% reduction in paraprotein in patients with multiple myeloma whose paraprotein levels are < 5 g/dL following high dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).

To evaluate the efficacy of PTK787/ZK 222584, in inducing at least a 50% reduction in paraprotein in patients with multiple myeloma whose paraprotein levels are < 5 g/dL following high dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT).

To assess the time to progression and disease free survival of patients treated with PTK787/ZK 222584.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PTK787/ZK 222584ExperimentalInitially patients will receive a dose of 500mg (2, 250mg tablets) in the morning and 250mg (1, 250mg tablet) in the afternoon for 2 weeks (cycle 1, days 1-14), then 500mg (2, 250mg tablets) bid for 2 weeks (cycle 1, days 15-28) and finally 750mg (3, 250mg tablets) in the morning and 500mg (2, 250mg tablets) in the afternoon for the remainder of treatment duration (cycle 2, day 1 and onwards). Each 28 days of drug administration will constitute one cycle of therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detectable Paraprotein Level (IgG or IgA)at ≤5 g/dL Who Show a 50% Reduction (Complete Response + Partial Response) in Their Paraprotein After Starting Treatment With the Study Drug

    Measured: Day 90

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Progression

    Time to progression is from the start of treatment until the first date that criteria for progressive disease (PD) are met.

    • 25% increase in the level of the serum monoclonal paraprotein, which must also be an absolute increase of at least 0.5 g/dL and confirmed by at lease 1 repeated investigation.
    • 25% increase in the 24 hr urinary light chain excretion, which must also be an absolute increase of at least 200 mg/ 24 hr and confirmed by at least 1 repeated investigation.
    • 35% increase in plasma cells in a bone marrow aspirate or on trephine biopsy, which must also be an absolute increase of at least 10%.
    • Increase in the size of existing bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas
    • New lytic bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas or definite increase in the size of residual bone lesions (development of a compression fracture does not exclude continued response and may not indicate progression).
    • Hypercalcemia - corrected serum calcium > 11.5 mg/dL

    Measured: Until the patient progresses or expires (up to 457 days)

  2. Safety and Tolerability of PTK787/ZK 222584

    Number of Grade 3/4 adverse events per the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria v 3.0.

    Measured: 30 days after treatment ends [median of 15 cycles (11-32)]

  3. Disease Free Survival

    Measured: Until the patient expires

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PTK787/ZK 222584 in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 1 site in United States.

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 15 inclusion and 26 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2014. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Sep 2014). 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?

Detectable Paraprotein Level (IgG or IgA)at ≤5 g/dL Who Show a 50% Reduction (Complete Response + Partial Response) in Their Paraprotein After Starting Treatment With the Study Drug (time frame: Day 90). 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 17 Sep 2014.
