About this study

Official title: Bortezomib + Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Doxil) + Dexamethasone Followed by Thalidomide + Dexamethasone or Bortezomib + Thalidomide + Dexamethasone for Patients With Symptomatic Untreated High-Risk or Primary Resistant Multiple Myeloma

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Giving bortezomib together with doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome and dexamethasone followed by thalidomide, dexamethasone, and bortezomib may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving bortezomib together with doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome and dexamethasone followed by thalidomide and dexamethasone with or without bortezomib works in treating patients with multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the efficacy and safety of bortezomib, pegylated doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome, and dexamethasone followed by thalidomide and dexamethasone with or without bortezomib in patients with symptomatic high-risk or primary resistant multiple myeloma.

OUTLINE: Patients receive BDD comprising bortezomib IV on days 1, 4, 8, and 11; pegylated doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome IV over 60-90 minutes on day 4; and oral dexamethasone on day 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients achieving response to BDD receive oral thalidomide on days 1-28 and oral dexamethasone on days 1-4, 9-12, and 17-20. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients experiencing stable or progressive disease on BDD receive oral thalidomide on days 1-28; oral dexamethasone on days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 17-21; and bortezomib IV on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Combination therapyExperimentalCombination therapy with bortezomib, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and dexamethasone (BDD) followed by either thalidomide and dexamethasone (TD) or bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with symptomatic untreated high-risk or primary resistant multiple myeloma. Three cycles of BDD will be administered. Patients who respond after three cycles will receive two cycles of TD. Patients with stable or progressive disease after three cycles of BDD receive two cycles of bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone. If at any point during the study a patient achieves a complete response (CR), the patient will be given the option to discontinue treatment on-study.
Receives: Drug: bortezomib; Drug: dexamethasone; Drug: pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride; Drug: thalidomide

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease Response

    The response of myeloma to BDDTD will be assessed by standard electrophoretic and immunofixation tests of blood and urine for a monoclonal protein (M protein), and bone marrow aspirate and biopsy. These tests will be performed at enrollment and at the conclusion of therapy.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bortezomib, dexamethasone and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride in people with Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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?

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 22 Jan 2016. 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 22 Jan 2016). 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?

Disease Response (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00458705, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Jan 2016.
