About this study

Official title: Two Cycles of Pad Combination (Ps-341/Bortezomib, Adriamycin, and Dexamethasone) Followed by Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients

Based the proven efficacy and the ability to induce rapid response of various combinations of bortezomib including PAD combination in refractory and newly diagnosed patients with Multiple Myeloma, the investigators intend to investigate the efficacy of 2 cycles of PAD combination (Ps-341/Bortezomib, Adriamycin, and Dexamethasone) and to examine the feasibility of harvesting G-CSF mobilized PBSC and performing early AHCT after 2 cycles of PAD.

Read the detailed description

1.PAD combination chemotherapy

  • Bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 will be given by intravenous bolus injection on days 1, 4, 8, 11 of each cycle. Oral or intravenous dexamethasone 40 mg will be administered on days 1-4 and 8-11 with doxorubicin 9 mg/m2 by intravenous bolus on days 1-4 of each cycle. The cycle will be repeated every 3 weeks. A total of 2 cycles is planed before AHCT.
  • For mobilization, G-CSF 10ug/kg/d alone will be given by subcutaneous injection from day 12 of the second PAD cycle until completion of harvesting.

Melphalan 100 mg/m2/day will be administered on day -3 and day -2 for high-dose chemotherapy.

-Maintenance :Thalidomide 100 - 200 mg/d for 2 years

What participants receive

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

    Also called -vincristine, -doxorubicin, -dexamethasone

    • Doxorubicin 9 mg/m2/d iv on D 1-4

VAD produces partial response (PR) in about 50% patients, with complete response (CR) observed in 5%-10% patients (Kyle et al, 2004).

What is being measured

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

  1. response rates and toxicities.

    To investigate the effectiveness of bortezomib, doxorubicin and dexamethasone (PAD) combination therapy in the treatment of previously untreated patients with multiple myeloma who are eligible for autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT). The effectiveness will be evaluated in terms of response, response rates, and toxicities.

    Measured: 2.5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. hematologic recovery

    To evaluate the feasibility of harvesting peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) and performing AHCT after 2 cycles of PAD in newly diagnosed MM. Cell counts of harvested PBSC and hematologic recovery after AHCT will be monitored

    Measured: 2.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PAD combination in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Cooperative Study Group A for Hematology at 1 site in South 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 6 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 10 Jun 2011. 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 South Korea. 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?

response rates and toxicities. (time frame: 2.5 years). 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 10 Jun 2011.
