Who may be able to join

  • Eligible participants must have been previously diagnosed using standard criteria and have received no more than 2 prior regimens for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
  • Participant must be defined as Relapsed or Refractory Disease by one of the following criteria prior to enrollment: Relapsed Disease after high-dose therapy (autologous stem cell transplantation) as part of the first-line line treatment program. These patients may have received a maximum of 1 previous regimen, Refractory Disease or Relapsed Disease after > 1 prior therapy for multiple myeloma.

Show all 9Show fewer
  • ALT and AST < 2.5 x the ULN ( < 5 x ULN for patients with liver involvement)
  • INR < 1.5 or a PT/PTT within normal limits. Patients receiving anti-coagulation treatment with an agent such as warfarin or heparin may be allowed to participate. For patients on warfarin, the INR should be measured prior to initiation of sorafenib and monitored at least weekly, or as defined by the local standard of care, until INR is stable.
  • Patients must have measurable or evaluable disease. In patients with disease limited to bone and bone marrow, serial paraprotein measurements are acceptable for evaluable disease.

Who cannot join

  • Pulmonary hemorrhage/bleeding event > CTCAE Grade 2 within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug.
  • Any other hemorrhage/bleeding event > CTCAE Grade 3 within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug.
  • Known brain metastasis. Patients with neurological symptoms must undergo CT scan/MRI of the brain to exclude brain metastasis.
  • Patients with other medical conditions that would potentially interfere with their participation in this trial.
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Patients with other active malignancies, or history of treatment for other invasive cancers, within 3 years of study entry.
  • Patients with previous evidence of hypersensitivity to sorafenib, bortezomib, boron, or mannitol.
  • Women who are pregnant or lactating are ineligible. All patients of childbearing potential are required to use adequate methods of contraception while receiving study treatment, and for at least 2 weeks after the last dose of sorafenib.

  • Evidence of POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes) syndrome.
  • Cardiac disease: Congestive heart failure > class II NYHA (see Appendix D.) Patients must not have unstable angina (anginal symptoms at rest), new onset angina (began within the last 3 months), or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months.

About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Trial of Sorafenib and Weekly Bortezomib in the Treatment of Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This is a single-arm Phase I/II study of sorafenib and bortezomib with dose optimization in initial patients. The initial patients on the dose-finding portion of this study will be enrolled through a single institution. Following establishment of the Phase II dose the study will open enrollment throughout the Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI) Oncology Research Consortium.

The purpose of this study is to develop the combination of bortezomib (which is proven to be clinically active in patients with multiple myeloma) with sorafenib (a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis). This regimen will be developed in a schedule that is convenient for patients, and that is as minimally toxic to patients as possible.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective:

To evaluate the efficacy of sorafenib with weekly bortezomib, as measured by objective response rate and progression-free survival in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Secondary Objective:

To evaluate the feasibility and toxicity of sorafenib with weekly bortezomib in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

InterventionExperimentalThe trial was designed as a single-arm Phase I/II study of sorafenib and bortezomib with dose optimization in initial patients. Phase I consisted of cohorts of 3 patients at each of three dose levels. Patients received bortezomib (Dose Level 1 - 1.3 mg/m2; Dose Level 2 - 1.6 mg/m2) by IV bolus on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 5-week cycle with continuous oral dosing of sorafenib at 200 mg twice daily. Dose level 3 was planned as bortezomib 1.6 mg/m2 IV bolus on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 with sorafenib 400 mg by mouth twice daily throughout each 5-week cycle.
Receives: Drug: Bortezomib; Drug: Sorafenib

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR), the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment

    The percentage of patients who experience an objective benefit from treatment, determined by the treating physician after reviewing key laboratory values from blood and urine.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Bortezomib and Sorafenib in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 2 sites 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 9 inclusion and 15 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 27 Feb 2013. 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. 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 27 Feb 2013). 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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR), the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment (time frame: 24 months). 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 27 Feb 2013.
