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.

排除标准

  • Pregnant women
  • Breastfeeding women
  • Confirmed symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM), defined by any of the following:
  • Lytic lesions on skeletal survey
  • Anemia attributable to plasma cell infiltrate in marrow
  • Hypercalcemia
  • Renal dysfunction not attributable to other causes
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, psychiatric illness or social situations that would compromise compliance with study medication or follow up visits
  • Patients with high predisposition to gastrointestinal bleeding, such as known gastroesophageal varices or active peptic ulcer disease
  • Patients with chronic liver disease (such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or alcoholic cirrhosis)
  • Prior daily ingestion of green tea or green tea extract within 6 months of study entry
  • Patients who have previously experienced any adverse symptoms related to green tea or any of the inactive components present in Polyphenon E capsules
  • Concurrent use of investigational or commercial agent or therapy with the intent to treat MGUS and/or SMM

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.
