About this study

Official title: A Phase II Single Arm Study of VELCADE and DOXIL (PLD) in Patients With Relapsed Multiple Myeloma Previously Treated With VELCADE

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and bortezomib in the treatment of patients with relapsed multiple myeloma who had been previously treated with bortezomib. Multiple myeloma is a cancer that begins in plasma cells, a type of white blood cell. These cells are part of the immune system, which helps protect the body from germs and other harmful substances. In time, myeloma cells collect in the bone marrow and in the solid parts of bone. Multiple myeloma treatment may include stem cell transplantation, however, not all patients with multiple myeloma are candidates for stem cell transplantation and many patients who receive transplants relapse. As a result, additional first and later-line therapeutic options are needed for patients who are not candidates for transplantation, or whose disease relapses after transplantation or other therapies. Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in combination with bortezomib is approved for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have not previously received bortezomib and have received at least one prior therapy. The combined use of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and bortezomib in this study is designed to evaluate the overall response rate and safety in patients with multiple myeloma who have been previously treated with bortezomib.

Read the detailed description

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall response rate to DOXIL/VELCADE treatment in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma previously treated with VELCADE. Overall response rate is defined as the proportion of patients achieving either a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to treatment according to the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) criteria. This is a single arm (all patients will receive the same drug combination and dose), multi-center (many study sites), open label (the patient and the physician know the drug treatment being received) of approximately 60 patients with multiple myeloma whose disease has progressed after initial response to VELCADE-based therapy. During each 21-day treatment cycle, patients will receive VELCADE by intravenous bolus on 4 designated days, and DOXIL by intravenous infusion on one designated day. Treatment will continue until disease progression, or the occurrence of unacceptable treatment-related toxicity or up to a total of 8 cycles of therapy. Drug doses may be delayed or dropped as needed to allow for platelet transfusions or other treatment requirements. Patients responding to treatment at study end may be evaluated for continued treatment for as long as treatment can be tolerated and they continue to respond. After discontinuation of all study drugs, patients who have not had disease progression will be followed for 6 months after receiving the last dose of study drug. The primary endpoint is overall response rate as defined by the proportion of patients achieving either a complete response or a partial response. Response will be assessed at each cycle. Safety will be monitored throughout the study by physical examination, clinical laboratory testing, and the incidence and severity of reported adverse events. Overall safety will be summarized at study-end.

During each 21-day treatment cycle, patients will receive bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 by intravenous bolus on Days 1, 4, 8 and 11 and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin 30 mg/m2 by intravenous infusion on Day 4.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint is the overall response rate defined as the partial or complete response to treatment according to EBMT criteria. Overall response will be assessed at each treatment cycle up to 8 cycles.

    Measured: Assessed at each 21-day treatment cycle up to 8 cycles and over 6 months following discontinuation of all study drugs.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary endpoints include time to disease progression (treatment start to disease progression or death due to progression); best response assessed by the investigator; duration of response; and overall survival (treatment start to death by any cause).

    Measured: Day 1, Cycle 1 throughout treatment cycles and follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bortezomib; pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

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 6 inclusion and 7 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 primary endpoint is the overall response rate defined as the partial or complete response to treatment according to EBMT criteria. Overall response will be assessed at each treatment cycle up to 8 cycles. (time frame: Assessed at each 21-day treatment cycle up to 8 cycles and over 6 months following discontinuation of all study drugs.). 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 6 Apr 2015.
