Trial summary

The investigators hypothesize that conformal radiation will allow the administration of higher doses of external beam radiation to marrow based malignancies than total body irradiation (TBI)without increasing the toxicity to normal tissues beyond that induced by TBI. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Dose Escalation Study of Total Marrow Irradiation (TMI) and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (MM)

The investigators hypothesize that conformal radiation will allow the administration of higher doses of external beam radiation to marrow based malignancies than total body irradiation (TBI)without increasing the toxicity to normal tissues beyond that induced by TBI. Further,the investigators hypothesize that this will result in an improvement in disease response and disease control for patients with multiple myeloma. This is a dose escalation study of TMI with the primary objective of determining the maximum tolerated dose of TMI when followed by aHSCT in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

What participants receive

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

  • Total Marrow IrradiationRadiation

    Also called TMI

    Total Marrow Irradiation delivered by chemotherapy delivered to cohorts of patients in a dose escalation. The initial cohort will receive 14 Gy. If tolerated subsequent cohorts will receive an additional 2 Gy until the maximum tolerated dose or 28 Gy is reached.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose of TMI when followed by aHSCT in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma

    Measured: 30 days from the time of aSCT

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The frequency and timing of engraftment following TMI and aHSCT

    Measured: within 30 days of aHSCT

  2. The early morbidity and mortality associated with TMI and aHSCT

    Measured: 30 days from aHSCT

  3. The intermediate morbidity and mortality associated with TMI and aHSCT

    Measured: 100 days from aHSCT

  4. The late morbidity of TMI

    Measured: Beyond 6 months after transplantaton

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Total Marrow Irradiation in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Ottawa Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in Canada.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2015. 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 Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the maximum tolerated dose of TMI when followed by aHSCT in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (time frame: 30 days from the time of aSCT). 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 Jul 2015.
