A Study of Bortezomib, Cyclophosphamide, and Dexamethasone in Patients With Untreated Multiple Myeloma and Planned for a High Dose Chemotherapy
- Conditions
- Multiple Myeloma
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT00833560
- Lead Sponsor
- Janssen-Cilag G.m.b.H
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of bortezomib in combination with a standard regimen of cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone.
- Detailed Description
This is open-label (both the participant and the investigator know what treatment participants will receive), prospective (participants are identified and then followed forward in time for the outcome of the study), multi-centre, and non-randomized (participants are assigned to different treatment groups by the investigator) study. The study will be conducted into 2 parts (Part 1 and Part 2). Approximately 400 participants will be enrolled (30 in Part 1 and 370 in Part 2). In Part 1 the optimum dose of cyclophosphamide will be evaluated and in Part 2 the selected dose of cyclophosphamide from Part 1 will be administered. Part 2 will include a screening period of a maximum of 14 days followed by chemotherapy (bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone) of a maximum of three 21-day cycles. Safety will be evaluated by the assessment of adverse events, vital signs, physical examination, electrocardiogram, and clinical laboratory tests which will be monitored throughout the study.

Group Intervention Description Cyclophosphamide + Bortezomib + Dexamethasone Bortezomib Part 1 will be the dose titration part for cyclophosphamide. Participants will receive cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone for 3 cycles. In Part 2, participants will receive cyclophosphamide (dose determined in Part 1) with pre-defined dose of bortezomib and dexamethasone for 3 cycles. Cyclophosphamide + Bortezomib + Dexamethasone Dexamethasone Part 1 will be the dose titration part for cyclophosphamide. Participants will receive cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone for 3 cycles. In Part 2, participants will receive cyclophosphamide (dose determined in Part 1) with pre-defined dose of bortezomib and dexamethasone for 3 cycles. Cyclophosphamide + Bortezomib + Dexamethasone Cyclophosphamide Part 1 will be the dose titration part for cyclophosphamide. Participants will receive cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone for 3 cycles. In Part 2, participants will receive cyclophosphamide (dose determined in Part 1) with pre-defined dose of bortezomib and dexamethasone for 3 cycles.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Participants With Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) (Efficacy Set) Up to Day 63 CR and PR are defined by the local investigator according to the current European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) criteria. According to EBMT criteria, CR is defined as the absence of serum and urine monoclonal paraprotein + no increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions; and PR is defined as not all CR criteria + 50 percentage or more reduction in serum monoclonal paraprotein.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Participants With Complete Response + Partial Response in Relation to Cytogenetic Subgroups (Efficacy Set) Up to Day 63 Response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with response of combined CR+PR according to the EBMT criteria. As per the EBMT criteria, CR is defined as the absence of serum and urine monoclonal paraprotein and no increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions; PR is defined as not all CR criteria and 50 percentage or more reduction in serum monoclonal paraprotein. Percentage of participants with complete or partial response that carried the indicated cytogenetic marker is reported. Same participant could count in more than one category due to multiple responses possible
