Intravenous rhMBL in Patients With Multiple Myeloma Receiving Chemotherapy Followed by Stem Cell Transplant

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Multiple Myeloma
• Interventions: Drug: Intravenous Recombinant Human Mannose-Binding Lectin (rhMBL)

• Registration Number: NCT00388999
• Lead Sponsor: Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Brief Summary

MBL deficient patients enrolled in this protocol are scheduled to be treated with melphalan-based high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for their multiple myeloma. Patients are randomized to 0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, or no rhMBL.

Detailed Description

MBL deficient patients will be randomized in a ratio of 2:2:1 to receive up to 4 weekly i.v. infusions of rhMBL at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg or 1.0 mg/kg, or standard anti-infectious prophylactic therapy alone. A total of 20 patients will be treated in each of the rhMBL arms, and 10 patients will receive best standard supportive prophylactic therapy but not rhMBL. All patients are to receive anti-infectious prophylactic supportive therapy as per institutional standards.
