About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Clinical Study of JNJ-26866138 (Bortezomib) in Untreated Multiple Myeloma Patients Who Are Not Candidates for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)

The purpose of the study in Phase I is to select the recommended dose of bortezomib in combination with melphalan and prednisolone in Japanese participants. In Phase II, to assess the effectiveness and safety of the recommended dose of bortezomib (selected in the phase I portion).

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (both physician and participant know the intervention), non-randomized (participants are not assigned by chance), multi-center study in untreated multiple myeloma participants who were not candidates for hematopoietic stem cell transplant. This study consists of two parts: Phase I and Phase II. In Phase I, a total of 18 participants will be enrolled ie, 6 patients per dose level (0.7, 1.0 and 1.3 mg/m2) to determine the recommended dose of bortezomib. In Phase II, additional 83 participants will be enrolled. Safety evaluations will include assessment of adverse events, clinical laboratory test, specifically hematological toxicities.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity During the Phase I (Cycle 1)

    Dose limiting toxicity defined as an adverse event or adverse drug reaction experienced by the participants during 6 weeks of treatment Cycle 1

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Number of Participants With Overall Response (Complete Response [CR] + Partial Response [PR]) - Phase I and II

    Response is evaluated as per the criteria for evaluating disease response and progression in patients with multiple myeloma treated by high-dose therapy and haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (Blade et al. 1998). CR: disappearance of the original monoclonal protein from the blood and urine and <5% plasma cells in the bone marrow on at least 2 determinations for a minimum of 6 weeks; no increase in the size or number of lytic bone lesions; disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas for at least 6 weeks. PR: ≥50% reduction in the level of serum monoclonal protein for at least 2 determinations 6 weeks apart; If present, reduction in 24-hour urinary light chain excretion by either ≥90% or to <200 mg for at least 2 determinations 6 weeks apart; ≥50% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas for at least 6 weeks; no increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions

    Measured: 54 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Bortezomib (JNJ-26866138 Alone) - Phase I

    Cmax of bortezomib following intravenous administration of JNJ-26866138 at dose of 0.7, 1.0, and 1.3 mg/m2 on Cycle 1/Day 25 (JNJ-26866138 alone)

    Measured: Day 25 of Cycle 1

  2. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Bortezomib (JNJ-26866138 in Combination With Melphalan and Prednisolone) - Phase I

    Cmax of bortezomib following intravenous administration of JNJ-26866138 at dose of 0.7, 1.0, and 1.3 mg/m2 on Cycle 2/Day 4 (combination with melphalan and prednisolone)

    Measured: Day 4 of Cycle 2

  3. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Melphalan - Phase I

    Cmax of melphalan at dose of 9 mg/m2 on Cycle 2/Day 4

    Measured: Day 4 of Cycle 2

  4. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Prednisolone - Phase I

    Cmax of Prednisolone at dose of 60 mg/m2 on Cycle 2/Day 4

    Measured: Day 4 of Cycle 2

  5. Median Time to First Response - Phase II

    Time to first response is the duartion of time required to achieve first response to treatment

    Measured: up to 54 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-26866138 0.7 mg/m2, JNJ-26866138 1.0 mg/m2 and JNJ-26866138 1.3 mg/m2 in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K. at 28 sites in Japan.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in Japan. 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 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.

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 Dec 2013). 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?

Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity During the Phase I (Cycle 1) (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 2 Dec 2013.
