Trial summary

RATIONALE: Giving high-dose chemotherapy before an autologous stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. An autologous stem cell transplant may be able to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Study of Outcomes and Toxicity of Busulfex as Part of a High Dose Chemotherapy Preparative Regimen in Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Plasma Cell Myeloma

RATIONALE: Giving high-dose chemotherapy before an autologous stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. An autologous stem cell transplant may be able to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving busulfan together with cyclophosphamide followed by an autologous stem cell transplant works in treating patients with multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To compare relapse-free survival and overall survival of patients with multiple myeloma treated with IV busulfan vs historical control patients treated with oral busulfan when administered with cyclophosphamide as a conditioning regimen prior to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Secondary

  • To compare pulmonary toxicity rates of IV busulfan vs oral busulfan when administered with cyclophosphamide as a conditioning regimen prior to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

OUTLINE: Patients receive high-dose busulfan IV every 6 hours on days -8 to -4 and high-dose cyclophosphamide IV over 4 hours on days -3 and -2. Patients undergo autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on day 0.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relapse-free Survival

    Number of participants without progressive disease at the end of the study period, using the definitions for complete response, partial response and progressive disease from the International Myeloma Working Group .

    Measured: at 6 months

  2. Overall Survival

    Number of patients alive at the end of the study period

    Measured: at 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pulmonary Toxicity

    Toxicity criteria will be assessed and graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) v3.0. Estimated using exact 95% binomial confidence intervals.

    Measured: At 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing busulfan, cyclophosphamide and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in people with Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by Case Comprehensive 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 4 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 24 Jul 2020. 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 2 Apr 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?

Relapse-free Survival (time frame: at 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Jul 2020.
