About this study

Official title: Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation For The Treatment Of High Risk Multiple Myeloma With Reduced Toxicity Myeloablative Conditioning Regimen

Standard therapy for multiple myeloma (MM) usually includes an autologous bone marrow stem cell transplant - a procedure where the patient is treated with high dose chemotherapy and then their own (autologous) stem cells are transplanted back into their body. Patients with multiple myeloma and high risk genes, always relapse after an autologous transplant and often die within two years from the time of their transplant. A different type of transplant allogeneic) using donor cells, may work better for high-risk Multiple Myeloma, because the donor cells may help kill the lymphoid cancer cells.

This study will investigate if a matched donor stem cell transplant using a newer, reduced toxicity, chemotherapy (Flu-Bu4) is a feasible option for patients with high risk, Multiple Myeloma.

Being tested
Fludarabine/Busulfan x 4 days, stem cell transplant
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • Fludarabine/Busulfan x 4 daysDrug

    • Fludarabine: 40 mg/m2/day in NS, administered IV over 30 minutes on days -5, -4, -3, and -2 pre-transplant.
    • Busulfan: 3.2 mg/kg IV daily in NS over 4 hours on days -5, -4, -3, and -2.

    The Fludarabine shall be administered prior to the Busulfan each day.

  • stem cell transplantProcedure or surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. The Percentage of Patients Alive 1 Year Post Transplant

    The primary objective is overall survival, one year from the time of transplant.

    Measured: 1 Year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The Percentage of Patients Free From Progression at 1 Year

    One of the secondary outcomes that will be measured is progression free survival at 1 Year.

    Progressive Disease (PD) is defined as a >25% increase in serum monoclonal paraprotein, a >25% increase in 24-hour urinary light chain excretion, a >25% increase in plasma cells in bone marrow aspirate, an increase in the size or the development of new bone lesions/soft tissue plasmacytomas, or the development of hypercalcemia.

    Measured: 1 Year

  2. Percentage of Patients With Treatment Related Mortality (TRM)

    Measured: 100 days, one-year

  3. Percentage of Patients With Acute and Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)

    Incidence of acute (Stage II-IV and Stage III-IV) and chronic GVHD (any stage) were analyzed.

    Acute GVHD Grading:

    Stage II - Skin, 25-50% BSA (Body Surface Area); Liver, 3.1-6mg/dl bilirubin; Gut, 1000-1500ml/day diarrhea Stage III - Skin, generalized erythroderma; Liver, 6.1-15mg/dl bilirubin; Gut, >1500ml/day diarrhea Stage IV - Skin, bullae; Liver, >15mg/dl bilirubin; Gut, pain +/- ileus

    Measured: 100 days, 2 years

  4. Non Relapse Mortality (NRM) at 1 Year and 3 yearsThe Percentage of Deaths Not Attributable to Disease Relapse or Progression

    Non relapse mortality, defined as the percentage of deaths not attributable to disease relapse or progression at 1 year and at 3 years.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fludarabine/Busulfan x 4 days and stem cell transplant in people with Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Leukemia, run by University of Michigan Rogel 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?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 5 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 4 Apr 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 11 Dec 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?

The Percentage of Patients Alive 1 Year Post Transplant (time frame: 1 Year). 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 4 Apr 2016.
