简要总结
RATIONALE: Green tea extract contains ingredients that may prevent or slow the growth of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and/or smoldering multiple myeloma.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well green tea extract works in treating patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and/or smoldering multiple myeloma.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Conduct a pilot study investigating the effects of Polyphenon E, a compound extracted from green tea which contains epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), on monoclonal protein levels in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and/or smoldering multiple myeloma.
Secondary
- Collect, process, and store blood and marrow specimens for future measurement of the biologic effects of Polyphenon E on the plasma cells of these patients by utilizing proteosome activity assays and gene expression profiling.

结局指标
主要结局
Sustained M-protein Reduction of ≥ 25% From Baseline
时间窗: Day one of each 28-day cycle for a total of up to 6 cycles
This is a monthly blood test, done at the beginning of each cycle of therapy. The M-protein is a surrogate marker routinely used to estimate the degree of plasma cell cyto-reduction brought about by therapy. In active multiple myeloma, a 25% reduction in the M-protein level would correspond to a "minor response," an improvement recognized as having some clinical benefit.
