Who may be able to join

  • Patients with myeloma who had relapsed after one prior treatment and who have demonstrated resistance to their last treatment, who are candidate to receive Velcade and had normal PT and PTT, will be evaluated for inclusion in the present study.

Who cannot join

About this study

To evaluate changes in coagulation (blood clotting) factors and platelet function in multiple myeloma participants undergoing VELCADE treatment for the first time.

Read the detailed description

Cardiovascular complications during the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma are not uncommon, (10%) and the frequency clearly increases with the use of regimens containing thalidomide in combination with glucocorticosteroids or chemotherapy especially adriamycin. Even with prophylactic anticoagulation, DVT still occurs in 10% of such patients. The use of full anticoagulation raises considerable concern of bleeding especially during the post chemotherapy thrombocytopenic period. We observed no thromboembolic episodes when Velcade was added to thalidomide and adriamycin containing chemotherapy.

Therefore, we would like to investigate this protective antithrombotic effect of VELCADE in a malignancy associated with a hypercoagulable state in a group of 10 patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • VelcadeDrug

    Except for the two PCR-based genotyping assays, which will be conducted only on baseline samples, tests will be assessed at baseline, 1-3 hours after the first dose of Velcade day 1 and on day 11 of the first cycle of Velcade.

    The platelet Aggregation Test will be done only if Platelet count is 100 000.

VelcadeExperimentalTreatment on this study will last 2 cycles. Each cycle consists of 3 weeks, or 21 days. After you have gone off study, you will be followed every three months for approximately 2 years. Each cycle will consist of 3 weeks (21 days) according to the schedule below. DRUG ROUTE DOSE DAYS Velcade IV 1.3 mg/m2 1,4,8, and 11 This 21-day period will be considered one treatment cycle; Cycle 2 would commence on Day 22 (Cycle 2, Day 1). Patients may continue to receive treatment every 21 days, provided there is no evidence of disease progression or no unacceptable toxicity for a two cycles.

What is being measured

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

  1. Antithrombotic Effect of VELCADE in a Malignancy Associated With a Hypercoagulable State in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma.

    Goal is to evaluate changes in coagulation (blood clotting) in refractory/relapsing multiple myeloma patients during VELCADE treatment.

    Before and during treatment, participant will undergo routine tests/procedures following the Myeloma Institute's guidelines (physical exams, blood, urine, and bone tests, and bone marrow aspirates and biopsies) and will also receive a series of coagulation tests before treatment and after 1st and 3rd doses of each cycle.

    Response measured as: complete, partial, or minimal response, no change, progressive disease, or relapse from complete response.

    Measured: 60 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Velcade in people with MULTIPLE MYELOMA, run by University of Arkansas 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 1 inclusion and 6 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 12 Aug 2011. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Aug 2011). 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?

Antithrombotic Effect of VELCADE in a Malignancy Associated With a Hypercoagulable State in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma. (time frame: 60 days). 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 NCT00569868, 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 12 Aug 2011.
