Studies in Patients With Multiple Myeloma and Renal Failure Due to Myeloma Cast Nephropathy

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Chronic Renal Failure With Uremic Nephropathy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01208818
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

MYRE is a phase III multicentric controlled national clinical trial conducted in patients with multiple myeloma and renal failure related to myeloma cast nephropathy (MCN). Its aims are to assess (1) the efficacy of bortezomib plus dexamethasone (BD), compared with cyclophosphamide, plus bortezomib and dexamethasone (C-BD) in patients with inaugural MCN not requiring hemodialysis; and (2) in patients with inaugural severe renal failure secondary to biopsy-proven MCN and requiring hemodialysis that of an intensive hemodialysis regimen using either a dialyser with very high permeability to proteins (TheraliteTM) or a conventional high-flux dialyser, while receiving chemotherapy with BD.

Detailed Description

MYRE is a phase III multicentric controlled national clinical trial conducted in patients with multiple myeloma and renal failure related to myeloma cast nephropathy (MCN). Its aims are to assess (1) the efficacy of bortezomib plus dexamethasone (BD), compared with cyclophosphamide, plus bortezomib and dexamethasone (C-BD) in patients with inaugural MCN not requiring hemodialysis; and (2) in patients with inaugural severe renal failure secondary to biopsy-proven MCN and requiring hemodialysis that of an intensive hemodialysis regimen using either a dialyser with very high permeability to proteins (TheraliteTM) or a conventional high-flux dialyser, while receiving chemotherapy with BD.

Study hypotheses are: (1) in patients not requiring dialysis, based on renal response after 3 cycles as the main endpoint, to show a benefit of 30% in absolute rate from an expected 30% response rate in the control arm; and (2) in patients requiring hemodialysis, using the prevalence of patients free of dialysis after 3 cycles as the main endpoint, to show a benefit of at least 20% from an assumed rate of 50% in the control arm. A total sample size of 284 patients was computed to be enrolled (type I and II error rates at 5 and 20%, respectively).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Prevalence of renal response (if dialysis not mandatory at baseline: strata 1); Prevalence of patients free of dialysis (if dialysis required at baseline; strata 2)3 months after randomization

* renal response is defined by creatinine≤ 170 µmol/l and/or DFG (modified MDRD) ≥ 40 ml/min/1.73m2

* the absence of any dialysis requirement will be defined by an eDFG \> 15 ml/min/1.73 m2, 15 days after the last hemodialysis session

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall survival (OS)4 years

Time to death from randomization

Hematological responseafter 1 and 3 courses, at the end of chemotherapy and at 1 year

Partial Response (PR) Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) Complete Response (CR)

Improvement in renal functionafter 1 cycle of chemotherapy, at the end of chemotherapy, at 6 months and 1 year

* DFG (modified MDRD)

* hemodialysis requirement

Time to treatment Failure (TTF)4 years

Time from randomization to progression, relapse, non scheduled hematological treatment or death

Progression free survival (PFS)4 years

Time to progression, relapse or death from randomization
