About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Double Arms, Prospective Phase 4 Study to Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Combination Therapy of PAD Versus VCD Treatment in Previously Untreated Subjects With Multiple Myeloma.

A multicenter, double arms, prospective randomized controlled phase 4 study. Approximately 50 previously untreated subjects with multiple myeloma will be enrolled. The study will consist of 6 phases, screening, treatment and follow-up.

Read the detailed description

Screening

At the screening visit, informed consent will be obtained from all subjects who are deemed potentially eligible for enrollment in the study, according to the protocol-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Treatment

Eligible patients are randomly assigned to receive either treatment PAD or VCD. All eligible subjects will be evaluated after 4 cycles treatment. According to the assessment of researchers and the willingness of patients to decide whether to autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT). Suitable for transplant patients will accept hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Not suitable for transplant patients will continue accept treatment for 8 cycles. The patients who accept more than 4 cycles treatment will receive efficacy evaluation.

Follow-up

All patients will receive 12 months of follow-up after the treatment period. Follow-up at 4, 6, 8 and 12 month after the treatment period respectively. Subjects who have disease progression or accept other resistance myeloma therapy during the 12 months of follow-up phase will stop assessed about the study and start followed up only for survival status every 6 months through telephone interviews or to research center follow-up. All patients will accept the follow-up for survival until last case patient who complete follow-up.

Safety will be evaluated throughout the study by assessment of adverse events (AEs), physical examination, vital signs and clinical laboratory findings.

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete Response Rate

    Measured: Up to cycle 4 (with 28 days per cycle).

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Safety

    Safety evaluations will be based on scheduled clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram or cardiac ultrasonography (when appropriate), vital signs, physical examination and number of adverse events.

    Measured: At baseline, on day 1 of each cycle, and after 4, 6, 12 and 18 months of follow-up.

  2. Overall Response Rate

    Overall response rate included Complete Response (CR), Very good partial response (VGPR) and PR, before the new treatment, two consecutive evaluations are in line with defined criteria in order to confirm the efficacy evaluation.

    Measured: At baseline, on day 28 of each cycle for 4 cycles.

  3. Time To Response

    Measured: At baseline, on day 28 of each cycle for 4 cycles.

  4. 1-year Survival Rate

    Measured: At baseline, on day 28 of each cycle, and after 4, 6, 12 and 18 months of follow-up.

  5. Overall Survival

    Measured: At baseline, on day 28 of each cycle, and after 4, 6, 12 and 18 months of follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing PAD, VCD and ASCT in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Peking University People's Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 8 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jin Lu, PhD (onco_velcade123@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete Response Rate (time frame: Up to cycle 4 (with 28 days per cycle).). 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 6 Jun 2013.
