Trial summary

Lytic bone disease continues to be one of the most devastating complications of multiple myeloma (MM) despite recent and dramatic advancements in MM management, and bone lesions persist and can continue to significantly impact a patient's morbidity, even when an individual's myeloma is otherwise under good control.

About this study

Lytic bone disease continues to be one of the most devastating complications of multiple myeloma (MM) despite recent and dramatic advancements in MM management, and bone lesions persist and can continue to significantly impact a patient's morbidity, even when an individual's myeloma is otherwise under good control. To date, no agent has been shown to have a prolonged bone anabolic response in myeloma.

Preliminary studies treating healthy postmenopausal women with a single dose of sotatercept demonstrated a rapid and sustained increase in serum biochemical markers of bone formation and a decrease in markers of bone resorption. Similarly, the murine analog to sotatercept, RAP-011, increases bone mineral density and strength in murine studies of both normal animals and models of bone loss. We hypothesize that sotatercept will provide an anabolic response for bone in myeloma patients with bone disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of biochemical bone turnover

    The presence of change in biochemical markers of bone turnover during treatment with sotatercept will be examined.

    Measured: Average of 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Adverse Events related to sotatercept

    Measured: Average of 21 days

  2. Bone marrow density

    Change in bone mineral density of the femoral neck, forearm and spine.

    Measured: Average of 12 months

  3. Change in biochemical myeloma markers

    The change in myeloma markers will be determined by quantifying immunoglobulins, SPEP, UPEP and free light chains.

    Measured: Average of 3 months

  4. Size of target bone lesions

    Measure the change in size of target bone lesions using x-ray of target skeletal lesions.

    Measured: Average of 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sotatercept in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Rebecca Silbermann at 1 site in United States.

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 15 inclusion and 16 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2016. 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Presence of biochemical bone turnover (time frame: Average of 3 months). 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 1 Sep 2016.
