About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Improvement of Quality of Life in Multiple Myeloma Patients Treated With Velcade (Bortezomib) IV: Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Study

This observational study will observe the degree of the quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma before and after bortezomib administration by using EORTC-QLQ C30 (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core30) and EQ-5D (EuroQol-5 Dimensions). Both tools are validated research instruments used to measure the quality of life in cancer patients and consequently will provide fundamental data regarding the quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma by analyzing factors that affect the quality of life.

Read the detailed description

Many clinical studies for the treatment of multiple myeloma have been conducted in Korea, but none of them have evaluated the improvement in the quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma. Most study variables used to evaluate the quality of life of patients with multiple myeloma are subjective and limited. This study will observe the degree of change in the quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma before and after bortezomib administration by using EORTC-C30 (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core30) and EQ-5D (EuroQol-5 Dimensions), validated research instruments used to measure the quality of life in cancer patients and consequently will provide fundamental data regarding the quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma.. Observational Study - No investigational drug administered

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Relationship between the primary outcome and the complete remission (CR) rate

    Measured: Before the first, after the fourth and at the last IV cycle of bortezomib

  2. Relationship between the primary outcome and the overall response rate

    Measured: Before the first, after the fourth and at the last IV cycle of bortezomib

  3. Relationship between the primary outcome and the time to response

    Measured: Before the first, after the fourth and at the last IV cycle of bortezomib

  4. Adverse events

    Measured: Every 3 week cycle

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma, run by Janssen Korea, Ltd., Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 23 Dec 2014. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 change in the quality of life as measured by EORTC QLQ-C30 and EQ-5D before and after the administration of bortezomib (time frame: Before the first, after the fourth and at the last IV cycle of bortezomib). 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 23 Dec 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
