Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Multiple Myeloma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01517724
Lead Sponsor
University College, London
Brief Summary

The aim of this trial is to determine whether bortezomib improves response and delays progression for multiple myeloma patients after high dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplant. It will also assess the effect of bortezomib treatment on patient bone health.

GroupInterventionDescription
Bortezomib consolidationBortezomibBortezomib administered once a week 1.3mg/sq m; maximum of 8 cycles (each cycle is 4 weeks)
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Disease responseAt 6 and 12 months after ASCT consolidated by bortezomib therapy

Disease response prior to consolidation with bortezomib will be compared with disease response at 6 and 12 months post ASCT.

Number of patients with adverse eventsUp to 8 months after treatment start

The number and percentage of patients who experience adverse events related to bortezomib treatment will be summarised for patients who received bortezomib consolidation after ASCT

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
assess effect of bortezomib consolidation on bone healthAt 1, 2, 3 and 9 months after start of treatment

Summary of changes from baseline, after cycle 1,2 and 3 of bortezomib treatment and at the end of treatment for markers of bone formation and resorption

assess the effect of bortezomib consolidation on Minimal Residue Disease statusAt 6 and 12 months post ASCT
determine progression free survivalAt 2 years post ASCT
evaluate the quality of life for patients receiving bortezomib consolidationUp to 8 months after treatment start
