Suspended
Conditions
Previously untreated Multiple Myeloma and/or Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma patients.
Registration Number
CTRI/2015/05/005758
Lead Sponsor
Dr Reddys Laboratories Limited
Brief Summary

This is a Multicentre, Open label, Balanced, Randomized, Two-Treatement, Two-Period, Single dose, Crossover bioequivalence of the Test Product (Bortezomib for Injection 3.5 mg/vial of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited, India) relative to that of Reference Product (VELCADE® (bortezomib) for Injection 3.5 mg/vial (Distributed by: Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 40 Landsdowne Street, Cambridge, MA 02139)) in previously untreated Multiple Myeloma and/or Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma patients. **Reconstitution Procedure**: Add 1.4 mL of sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution to theBortezomib powder contained in the vial. The final reconstituted concentration will be 2.5 mg/mL. The reconstituted product should be a clear and colourless solution free of particulate matter. Reconstitution will be done within 1 hr prior to dosing. Bortezomib 3.5 mg/vial reconstituted solution (with final Bortezomib concentration of 2.5 mg/mL) will be administered subcutaneously in abdomen (right or left). The solution should be injected subcutaneously, at a 45-90° angle. A total of 32 blood samples each of 4 mL will be collected from each patient for PK assessment and  20 samples, each of 3mL for PD assessment during the study. Venous blood samples will be withdrawn for each patient on Day 32 (Period 1) and Day 53 (Period 2) for PK and PD assessments.
