About this study

Official title: Phase 1b/3 Multicenter Study of Oprozomib, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Primary Refractory or Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma Subjects

The purpose of the Phase 1 part of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and assess the safety, tolerability and activity of oprozomib in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in adults with primary refractory or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.

The purpose of the Phase 3 part of the study is to compare the efficacy for adults with primary refractory or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who are randomized to either oprozomib or placebo in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone.

Read the detailed description

This was a phase 1b/3, multicenter study composed of 2 parts: part 1 was a phase 1b, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion component and part 2 was to have been a phase 3, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized component. Part 2 was not conducted.

The Phase 1 dose-escalation portion of the study followed a standard 3 + 3 dose-escalation design. For each of the 2 schedules, groups of 3 to 6 patients were enrolled. The starting doses of oprozomib were 150 and 210 mg in the 5/14 and 2/7 schedules, respectively. The starting dose of pomalidomide was 4 mg in both schedules. As long as < 33% of patients experienced a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in a given cohort, the dose of oprozomib was escalated in 30-mg increments for successive cohorts.

Once the recommended dose and schedule for the expansion phase had been selected, additional participants were enrolled in the dose expansion portion of part 1 to continue the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the regimen and determine the recommended phase 3 dose. Enrollment was halted during the dose expansion phase and part 2 was not conducted.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    DLTs were assessed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03, defined as any of the following treatment-related events occurring within 4 weeks after the first dose of therapy:

    Any grade ≥ 3 nonhematologic toxicity, except: Grade 3 asymptomatic electrolyte abnormalities or hypophosphatemia for < 24 hours; Grade 3 nausea, vomiting or diarrhea unless for > 3 days despite optimal supportive care; Grade 3 fatigue for < 14 days; Grade ≥ 3 hyperglycemia or toxicity attributed to dexamethasone and Grade ≥ 3 rash attributed to pomalidomide.

    Hematologic toxicities:

    • Grade 4 neutropenia: Absolute neutrophil count < 0.5 × 10^9/L for ≥ 7 days despite adequate growth factor support; febrile neutropenia
    • Thrombocytopenia: Grade 4 for ≥ 7 days, or Grade 4 for < 7 days with grade 2 clinically significant bleeding or < 10,000 platelets requiring transfusion, or Grade 3 with clinically significant bleeding or requiring platelet transfusion.

    Measured: Cycle 1, 28 days

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Adverse events (AEs) were graded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.03 and according to the following: Grade 1 = mild AE, Grade 2 = Moderate AE, Grade 3 = a severe AE, Grade 4 = life-threatening AE, and Grade 5 = death due to AE.

    A serious AE is an event that met 1 or more of the following criteria:

    • Death
    • Life-threatening experience
    • Required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization
    • Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity
    • A congenital anomaly birth defect in the offspring of an exposed female subject or offspring of a female partner of a male subject
    • Important medical events that, based upon appropriate medical judgment, jeopardized the participant and may have required medical or surgical intervention to prevent an outcome listed above.

    Treatment-related AEs (TRAE) are those considered related to at least 1 study drug by the investigator.

    Measured: From first dose of any study drug up to 30 days after the last dose; median duration of treatment was 7.6, 28.0, 32.1, 46.3, and 17.4 weeks in each treatment group, respectively.

  3. Number of Participants With Post-Baseline Grade 3 or 4 Laboratory Toxicities

    Laboratory abnormalities were graded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 4.03).

    Full chemistry panel included sodium, potassium, calcium, alkaline phosphatase, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinine, chloride, bicarbonate, glucose, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), phosphorous, and magnesium.

    Complete blood count (CBC) with differential included hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cell (WBC) count with complete manual or automated differential (total neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils; reported as absolute counts), red blood cell (RBC) count, and platelet count.

    Measured: Cycles 1 and 2 days 1, 5, 15, and 19 and days 3 and 8 of cycle 1, and day 1 of each cycle from cycle 3 thereafter until the end of treatment; median duration of treatment was 7.6, 28.0, 32.1, 46.3, and 17.4 weeks in each treatment group, respectively.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of partial response (PR), very good PR (VGPR), complete response (CR), or stringent CR (sCR) based on the International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria.

    PR: ≥ 50% reduction of serum M-protein and ≥90% reduction in urine M-protein or to < 200 mg/24 hrs, or a ≥50% decrease in the difference between involved and uninvolved free light chain levels (dFLC). A ≥ 50% decrease in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas present at baseline.

    VGPR: Serum and urine M-protein detectable by immunofixation but not electrophoresis or ≥ 90% decrease in serum M-protein with urine M-protein <100 mg/24 hrs. If disease measurable only by serum FLC (SFLC), ≥ 90% decrease in dFLC.

    CR: No immunofixation on serum and urine, disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas and <5% plasma cells in bone marrow (BM). Normal SFLC ratio if disease measurable only by SFLC.

    sCR: As for CR, and absence of clonal plasma cells in BM.

    Measured: Disease response was assessed every 4 weeks for the first 18 months and then every 8 weeks for the remainder of study treatment; median duration of treatment was 7.6, 28.0, 32.1, 46.3, and 17.4 weeks in each treatment group, respectively.

  2. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    Clinical benefit rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of minimal response (MR) per modified European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation criteria, or PR, VGPR, CR, or sCR as determined by the investigator according to the International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC).

    MR:

    • ≥ 25% but < 49% reduction in serum M-protein and a 50 - 89% reduction in 24-hour urinary M-protein, which still exceeds 200 mg per 24 hours
    • If the serum and urine M-protein were not measurable, a decrease of 25 - 49% in the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels was required in place of the M-protein criteria.
    • For patients with nonsecretory myeloma only, 25 - 49% reduction in plasma cells in a bone marrow aspirate and on trephine biopsy, if biopsy is performed
    • 25 - 49% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas (by radiography or clinical examination)

    Measured: Disease response was assessed every 4 weeks for the first 18 months and then every 8 weeks for the remainder of study treatment; median duration of treatment was 7.6, 28.0, 32.1, 46.3, and 17.4 weeks in each treatment group, respectively.

  3. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Oprozomib

    Oprozomib plasma concentrations were determined using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry.

    Measured: Cycle 1 day 1 at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 24 hours postdose. Cycle 2 day 1 at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours postdose.

  4. Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Oprozomib

    Oprozomib plasma concentrations were determined using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry.

    Measured: Cycle 1 day 1 at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 24 hours postdose. Cycle 2 day 1 at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours postdose.

  5. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast) of Oprozomib

    Oprozomib plasma concentrations were determined using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry.

    The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) was estimated using the linear trapezoidal method.

    Measured: Cycle 1 day 1 at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 24 hours postdose. Cycle 2 day 1 at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours postdose.

  6. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Time Infinity (AUCinf) of Oprozomib

    Oprozomib plasma concentrations were determined using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry.

    The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time infinity (AUCinf), estimated as the sum of AUClast and Clast/λz, where Clast is the last predicted concentration and λz is the first-order terminal rate constant estimated via linear regression of the terminal log-linear decay phase.

    Measured: Cycle 1 day 1 at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 24 hours postdose. Cycle 2 day 1 at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours postdose.

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 11 inclusion and 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States. 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 27 Apr 2021). 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 Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Cycle 1, 28 days). The study lists 3 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 27 Apr 2021.
