About this study

Official title: A Single-arm, Open-label, Phase 2 Clinical Trial Evaluating Disease Response Following Treatment With Intravenous BHQ880, a Fully Human, Anti-Dickkopf1 (DKK1) Neutralizing Antibody in Previously Untreated Patients With High-risk, Smoldering Multiple Myeloma

This study will assess the antimyeloma effects of BHQ880A in patients with smoldering multiple myeloma with high risk of progression to active multiple myeloma. BHQ880 will be administered every 28 days in previously untreated patients. Disease assessments will be performed monthly and effects on bone metabolism will be assessed by measurement of serum and urine bone biomarkers, changes in BMD , and QCT with FEA. Additionally, the PK profile of BHQ880 as a single agent and following multiple doses will be obtained.

Receives: Drug: BHQ880

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall response rate (Complete Response + Partial Response + Minimal Response) of patients achieving an objective response (defined according to the IMWG uniform response criteria by the Frequency of response of serum or urine M-protein to BHQ880A

    Measured: at 6 month

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Safety and tolerability of BHQ880 in patients with smoldering multiple myeloma by assessing AEs, SAEs, clinical laboratory values

    Measured: From start of study until disease progression

  2. Characterize the PK profile of BHQ880 as a single agent administered monthly by assessing BHQ880 levels in plasma

    Measured: Throughout the study until disease progression

  3. Evaluate the effect of BHQ880 on bone metabolism by assessing serum and urine bone biomarkers

    Measured: Throughout the study until disease progression

  4. Evaluate the effect of BHQ880 on bone mineral density by DXA scan and QCT

    Measured: 6 months and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BHQ880 in people with Smoldering Multiple Myeloma, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 13 sites in 3 countries.

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 8 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 17 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States, Germany, France. 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?

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?

Overall response rate (Complete Response + Partial Response + Minimal Response) of patients achieving an objective response (defined according to the IMWG uniform response criteria by the Frequency of response of serum or urine M-protein to BHQ880A (time frame: at 6 month). 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 17 Dec 2020.
