About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Open Label Study of an Accelerated Infusion Rate of Daratumumab in Patients With Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Primary objective: To determine the incidence of infusion related reactions (IRR's) in the first 6 months of daratumumab administration.

Read the detailed description

Study Design:

This is an open label phase II study of a daratumumab accelerated infusion regimen and a fixed pre- and post-medication regimen, in patients with relapsed and refractory Multiple Myeloma.

Patients will receive daratumumab, in the following schedule:

Daratumumab 8mg/kg in 500 mL over 4 hours Cycle 1 Day 1, Daratumumab 16mg/kg in 500 mL over 90 minutes (20% of dose given in first 30 minutes and remaining 80% of dose given over 60 minutes) Cycle 1 Days 8, 15 and 22; Cycle 2 Days 1, 8, 15, and 22, and on Days 1 and 15 for Cycles 3-6.

The study will begin with a 6-patient lead-in phase where safety with regards to the number of Grade 4 infusion related reactions with the accelerated infusion protocol will be evaluated in real time. Accrual to the study will not stop during this evaluation. The safety information obtained will be reviewed and evaluated in the context of previously published data. The review will be conducted by a 3-physician panel and if serious safety concerns (defined as Grade 4 infusion related reactions and/or death) are identified, the panel will make recommendations about protocol modifications if deemed necessary.

Pre- and post-medication regimen:

Montelukast 10 mg po x 2 days prior to daratumumab administration and 10 mg po the morning of daratumumab administration.

Cetirizine 10 mg po x 2 days prior to daratumumab administration and 10 mg po the morning of daratumumab administration.

Dexamethasone 20 mg on days of and day following daratumumab administration; starting Cycle 1 Day 15, dexamethasone 20 mg on day of daratumumab administration only.

Acetaminophen 975-1000 mg po 1 hour prior to daratumumab administration. Diphenhydramine 50mg IV 1 hour prior to daratumumab infusion.

Individual subjects will remain on treatment as long as there is no evidence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or until a patient/physician decision to discontinue is made. Disease assessments as determined by the Site Investigator will be made according to the IMWG response criteria guidelines for MM.1

As this study is designed to evaluate the IRRs associated with a shortened infusion time of daratumumab administration over a 6-month time period, subjects will be followed on study for a maximum of 6 months following enrollment. Following this time period, all subjects who continue to have a response to daratumumab will be taken off study. Although the study may end before subjects progress from their disease, daratumumab treatment will continue until disease progression in the absence of uncontrolled side effects or voluntary discontinuation of treatment for any reason, although drug will be supplied outside of the clinical trial setting.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of infusion related reactions (IRRs)

    For an accelerated infusion schedule compared to the approved schedule

    Measured: First 6 months of daratumumab administration

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    For this daratumumab dosing and infusion schedule according to IMWG criteria

    Measured: 6 months of daratumumab administration

  2. Safety (adverse events) of study treatment

    For this daratumumab dosing and infusion schedule, determine the incidence rates for adverse events using NCI CTCAE v5.0 grading. Generate a summary table for each term and body system, in addition to serious adverse events, subjects with related adverse events, subject deaths, and subjects who discontinue due to adverse events.

    Measured: 6 months of daratumumab administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Daratumumab in people with Multiple Myeloma in Relapse, run by Canadian Myeloma Research Group at 6 sites in Canada.

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 26 inclusion and 28 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 15 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Canada. 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?

Incidence of infusion related reactions (IRRs) (time frame: First 6 months of daratumumab administration). 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 15 Feb 2022.
