About this study

Official title: Risk-Adapted Intravenous Melphalan With Stem Cell Transplant and Adjuvant Bortezomib and Dexamethasone for Recently Diagnosed Untreated Patients With Systemic Light-Chain (AL) Amyloidosis

The purpose of this study in patients needing treatment for AL amyloidosis is to see how well treatment with IV melphalan works and then, if some clonal plasma cells are still present about 2 to 3 months after melphalan treatment, to see how well treatment with bortezomib and dexamethasone works to reduce the rest of the clonal plasma cell disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hematologic and Organ Response

    patients will be assessed for hematologic response (the response of the clonal plasma cell disease). If the plasma cell disease persists, then they will receive 6 cycles of adjuvant therapy with bortezomib and dexamethasone; patients with peripheral neuropathy will receive dexamethasone alone because of the risk of neuropathy associated with bortezomib. Symptomatic organ involvement with amyloid as defined below. Patients must have symptomatic involvement of no more than 2 of the following 4 visceral organ-systems: kidneys, liver/GI, peripheral/autonomic nervous system, and heart.

    Measured: 2-3 months post transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bortezomib and dexamethasone 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 10 Aug 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 10 Aug 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?

Hematologic and Organ Response (time frame: 2-3 months post transplant). 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 10 Aug 2016.
