Evaluation of Safety of Pomalidomide in Combination With Dexamethasone (Low Dose) in Patients With Refractory or Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Multiple Myeloma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01712789
Lead Sponsor
Celgene
Brief Summary

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy and to generate PK and biomarker data for the combination of pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone in patients with refractory or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.

The study consists of a Screening phase within 28 days prior to cycle 1 day 1, a Treatment phase and a Follow-up phase which starts within 28 days of discontinuation from study treatment, every 3 months for up to 5 years.

In addition, the collection of steady-state PK data from a large population will enable robust population PK and assess Pomalidomide exposure response analyses.

The exploratory objectives of the study are to investigate potential markers predictive of POM response or resistance and pharmacodynamic markers.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)From the first dose of study treatment up to 28 days following the last dose of study treatment. The median duration of treatment with pomalidomide and LD-dex was 21.4 weeks.

An adverse event (AE) is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a subject during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the subject's health, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (i.e., any significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a pre- existing condition) was considered an AE. The severity of AEs were graded based on the symptoms according to version 4.0 of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Second primary malignancies were monitored as events of interest and considered as part of the assessment of AEs.

A SAE = AE occurring at any dose that:

* Results in death;

* Is life-threatening

* Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization

* Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity

* Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to ResponseResponse was assessed at each treatment cycle and at treatment discontinuation; median duration of treatment with pomalidomide and LD-dex was 21.4 weeks

Time to response was defined as the time from treatment enrollment to the first documentation of response (sCR, CR, VGPR or PR) based on IMWG criteria.

Kaplan Meier Estimate of Duration of ResponseFrom enrollment to the end of follow-up; median time on follow-up was 10.9 (range 0 - 81) months

Duration of response, calculated for responders only, was defined as time from the initial documented response (SCR, CR, VGPR or PR) to the first confirmed disease progression, or death if no disease progression was recorded. Participants without a documented progression were censored at the time of their last tumor assessment.

Kaplan Meier Estimate of Progression Free Survival (PFS) According to the European Medicines Agency GuidelinesFrom enrollment to the end of follow-up; median time on follow-up was 10.9 (range 0 - 81) months

Progression free survival was calculated as the time from study enrollment, defined as the IVRS enrollment date, until either PD or death (any cause). Participants without an event (either a documented PD or death) at the time of study end were censored at the time of their last documented disease assessment or at the IVRS enrollment date if no disease assessment was conducted.

Kaplan Meier Estimate of Overall Survival (OS)From enrollment to the end of follow-up; median time on follow-up was 10.9 (range 0 - 81) months

Overall survival was calculated as the time from study enrollment, defined as the IVRS enrollment date, until death due to any cause. Participants who did not have death data at the time of study end/analysis were censored at the time they were last known to be alive.

Cytogenetic AnalysisStudy entry

Cytogenetic analysis was to be performed using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) methodology at a local laboratory, to evaluate the relationship between cytogenetic profiles and the combination of POM and LD-DEX in terms of response and outcome.

Pomalidomide Exposure - Apparent Volume of Distribution (V/F)Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters are derived from Pomalidomide concentration versus time data.

Overall ResponseResponse was assessed at each treatment cycle and at treatment discontinuation; median duration of treatment with pomalidomide and LD-dex was 21.4 weeks

Overall response rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants with a stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR) or partial response (PR) according to the International Myeloma Working Group uniform response criteria (IMWG URC) assessed by the Investigator. Responses must have been confirmed at at least 2 consecutive assessments before the institution of any new therapy with no known evidence of progressive or new bone lesions

Kaplan Meier Estimate of Time to ProgressionFrom enrollment to the end of follow-up; median time on follow-up was 10.9 (range 0 - 81) months

Time to progression was calculated as the time from study enrollment until first recorded disease progression as determined by the site investigator based on the IMWG criteria, or until death due to progression. Participants not experiencing a documented progression were censored at the time of their last tumor assessment (or at the time of trial enrollment if no assessment was conducted).

Pomalidomide Exposure - Apparent (Oral) Clearance (CL/F)Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters are derived from pomalidomide concentration versus time data.
