Clinical Trials

NCRI Myeloma Clinical Trials Committee Report

Preliminary results from MM IX on responses were presented at ASH 2007 and it is hoped that outcome data will be presented later in 2009.

The Myeloma CTC meets on a regular basis to take forward the design and approval of clinical studies. The group has worked to develop the UKMFÕs role within the National Cancer Research Institute Myeloma Clinical Trials Committee (NCRI Myeloma CTC) resulting in the integration of the NCRI and UKMF Myeloma CTCs enhancing the working relationship between the two groups. Discussions with CTAAC re trial design and funding earlier in the year were enlightening and constructive in identifying mutual areas of concern that should help secure funding for trials in the future.

The CTC has agreed a strategy to promote, support and develop a rolling programme of trials over the next 3 years to develop a portfolio of a phase III de novo trial and a randomised, phase II, relapsed intensive and non-intensive study. It is also supporting the development of a smaller phase II randomised trial to address the role of early versus late autologous stem cell transplantation in the era of novel therapies with the view of utilising the data to inform a later phase III trial. Support is also being given to devise studies in both de novo and relapsed Amyloidosis incollaboration with the National Amyloidosis Centre and WaldenstromÕs Macroglobulinaemia in collaboration with the NCRI Lymphoma CTC. In addition it is promoting studies examining supportive care and quality of life studies.

The Intensive Relapse Study Group has worked with the Committee to secure funding from the CTAAC for a phase 3 study, Myeloma X (Intensive), that opened in Spring 2008. A new de novo study, to replace the highly successful Myeloma IX trial that closed in November 2007, is awaiting final funding approval from CTAAC. It is hoped this will be successful and it is anticipated that the trial will open by the 3rd quarter of 2009.

Myeloma XI

 

This is a pragmatic, randomised, phase III, multi−centre, parallel group design, open labelled trial comparing thalidomide, lenalidomide and bortezomib combinations and maintenance lenalidomide in newly diagnosed patients with symptomatic myeloma. An intensive treatment pathway will be followed by younger/fitter patients where intensive HDT with stem cell support is considered appropriate, whilst older/less fit patients will proceed through the non−intensive pathway. Both pathways comprise induction, consolidation and maintenance components. The recruitment target requires that approximately 492 patients are recruited per year over a 4 year period.

The trial aims to answer three main questions: at induction, consolidation and maintenance:-

1. Is cyclophosphamide-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (RCD) given to maximum response, a better induction regimen than the current UK gold standard of cyclophosphamide-thalidomide-dexamethasone (CTD)?
2. For patients achieving a sub optimal response to induction across both treatment pathways (<VGPR), can the use of bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (VCD) improve responses and does this translate into improved PFS and OS?
3. Can lenalidomide at maintenance improve PFS and OS when compared to the use of no maintenance?

Myeloma X Relapse (Intensive)

The primary objective is to determine the effect on freedom-from disease progression of a second autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) compared with low-dose consolidation following re-induction therapy.

The secondary objectives of this study are: to assess the response rate to PAD in patients relapsing with MM following a previous autograft; to assess the overall response rate and survival following high-dose chemotherapy (with autologous stem cells) compared with low-dose consolidation; to determine the overall survival; to determine the safety and toxicity of a second ASCT; to assess safety and toxicity of PAD therapy; to assess whether type of PBSC mobilisation and harvest is prognostic of time to disease progression; to assess the feasibility of stem cell collection at relapse from a prior ASCT following re-induction and to determine the impact of the treatment strategies on pain QoL.

Population: Patients with symptomatic (including non-secretory) myeloma previously treated with standard chemotherapy and ASCT that require therapy for first progressive disease at ≥18 months from time of first transplant will be eligible for inclusion.

Intervention: All patients will receive re-induction therapy with 2 4 cycles of PAD (bortezomib, doxorubicin and dexamethasone), following which peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) will be mobilised and harvested. Mobilisation and harvest is optional in patients who have sufficient stem cells stored from a previous harvest, but is encouraged in all patients. Those patients who successfully complete the re-induction stage and mobilisation (including those who do not mobilise but have stored PBSC from prior mobilisations) will be randomised and assigned to either high-dose melphalan and PBSC rescue, or low-dose cyclophosphamide-weekly.

Target number of participants: 320 patients are required at randomisation, and it is anticipated that approximately 460 patients will need to be registered to achieve this.

Myeloma IX

Trial Status: Closed.  The relapse sub-protocol remains open to patients already randomised into the trial.

Study aim: To compare 2nd and 3rd generation bisphosphonates, induction chemotherapy regimens and thalidomide maintenance in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients of all ages.

Study design: A phase III randomised open factorial trial, comprising an Intensive Pathway for younger/fitter patients where intensive high dose treatment with stem cell support is considered appropriate, and a Non-Intensive Pathway for older/less fit patients where standard dosed chemotherapy is considered appropriate.

Younger/fitter patients will be randomised to receive i) clodronate versus zoledronic acid, ii) CVAD versus CTD (both followed by high-dose melphalan and autograft) and iii) thalidomide maintenance versus no thalidomide. Younger/fitter patients with a tissue-compatible sibling will also be offered a mini-allogeneic transplant.

Older/less fit patients will be randomised to receive i) clodronate versus zoledronic acid, ii) MP versus CTDa and iii) thalidomide maintenance versus no thalidomide.

In optional sub-protocols, patients may be offered BD if they do not respond to induction chemotherapy, or at first relapse.

Objectives:

Primary – Intensive pathway

• To compare two induction regimens, CVAD (infusional) v CTD (oral)

• To assess low-intensity conditioning (LIC) allogeneic stem cell transplantation (‘mini-allograft’) following high-dose melphalan plus autograft in patients with donors available.

• To assess the response to BD in patients not responding to the randomised induction therapy.

Primary – Non-intensive pathway

• To compare two induction/consolidation regimens, MP v CTD attenuated (CTDa)

Secondary (both pathways)

• To compare two bisphosphonates, sodium clodronate (2nd generation) v zoledronic acid (3rd generation)

• To assess the value of giving low-dose thalidomide in maintenance (versus no treatment)

• To investigate quality of life in the short-term (during induction chemotherapy/bisphosphonate treatment) and in the long-term (during maintenance therapy)

• To determine the relevance of genetic/cytogenetic changes and define risk groups

• To determine the relevance of immunophenotypic changes and molecular evidence of residual disease

• To evaluate serum free light chain (flc) measurement as a prognostic factor and in monitoring disease

• To determine the relevance of biochemical markers of bone metabolism in monitoring disease.

• To determine the effect of cytogenetic group and prior treatment regimen on progression-free survival and response rate to BD at first relapse.

Endpoints:

Primary

• Overall survival

• Progression-free survival

• Response

Secondary

• Quality of life

• Skeletal-related events (bone fractures, radiation to bone, surgery to bone, spinal cord compression)

• Height loss

• Toxicity (thromboembolic events, renal toxicity, haematologic toxicity, graft versus host disease (GvHD))

• Proportion receiving BD as ‘early rescue’ on induction chemotherapy

• Proportion receiving BD at relapse

MUK One

Objectives
The primary aim is to determine the optimal dosing regimen when bendamustine is combined with thalidomide and dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory myeloma.

Primary endpoints: Partial response or better; tolerability; and progression free survival.

Secondary endpoints: Maximum response rate and overall response rate; response duration; time to next treatment; safety and toxicity; proportion of patients successfully receiving six cycles of treatment with no dose reductions or delays; feasibility of stem cell harvest following treatment; overall survival.

Study Design (methodology)
This is a multi-centre, randomised, parallel group, phase II selection trial in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (first relapse or later). Patients will be stratified according to whether they are refractory, or relapsed and responsive, presence or absence of renal or haematological impairment and number of previous treatments.

This is a two-stage design to assess tolerability and efficacy simultaneously. The trial may be terminated at the end of the first stage due to lack of efficacy or unacceptable tolerability. Assuming at least one of the schedules successfully passes the first stage, a schedule will be deemed worthy of further consideration in a phase III trial at the end of stage two if it is a) acceptably tolerable AND b) sufficiently efficacious. If both treatment schedules successfully pass stage two, initial selection criteria will be based on progression-free survival rates. Assuming tolerance, and in the absence of disease progression, the treatment phase will continue for a minimum of six cycles or until best response plus 2 cycles, up to a maximum of 9 cycles.

After completion of bendamustine, thalidomide and dexamethasone (BTD), the patient may be assessed for eligibility for PBSC mobilisation and harvest and future ASCT. If eligible, they may undergo stem cell harvest at the discretion of the local investigator. Data will be collected to assess the adequacy of the harvest. If there is adequate stem cell harvest, cells will be stored and may be used for ASCT at disease progression, at the discretion of the investigator. If the patient is not considered by the investigator to be suitable for PBSC harvest, they will proceed to long term follow up.

Follow up will be every 4 weeks until initiation of a new treatment for disease progression, death, or until the end of the trial’s follow up period,(1 year post last patient recruited) whichever occurs first.  After initiation of a new treatment, trial follow up will be for survival only.

Number of Participants:
A maximum of 98 participants are required.

A trial looking at DNA vaccine therapy after stem cell transplant for myeloma (MMIFTT)

This trial is looking at DNA vaccine therapy after a stem cell transplant to help treat people with myeloma.

Myeloma is a type of cancer that develops from cells in the bone marrow called plasma cells. Most patients will have chemotherapy for myeloma and this can get the cancer under control (remission). But the cancer is likely to come back (relapse) or become more active over time.

Some patients have a stem marrow transplant using their own stem cells. This is called an ‘autologous’ transplant. But even a transplant may not work in all patients and sometimes the cancer may come back.

This trial is looking into using a DNA vaccine, which is made from a sample of the patient’s cancer cells. The patients will have this vaccine as injections after their transplant. The researchers hope that the vaccine will increase the body’s ability to fight cancer if it comes back. The aim of this trial is to find out if

·       It is possible to make the DNA vaccine and to vaccinate patients

·       The patient’s immune system can recognise and kill the cancer cells

A study to find out how people with advanced myeloma cope with symptoms and treatment

Please note this trial is no longer recruiting patients.

This study is looking at how people cope with the effects of myeloma and treatment to see if their health care teams can do more to help.

Myeloma symptoms include bone pain, tiredness, sickness and shortness of breath. This can affect people’s quality of life. Doctors can control symptoms with treatment. But sometimes treatments have side effects that may cause further problems in the long term. Doctors don’t want to give treatments that do more harm than good.

The aims of this study are to find out

·       How people cope physically and psychologically with advanced myeloma

·       How satisfied people feel with their care and if there are any unmet care needs

·       More about side effects of myeloma symptom treatment

The researchers will collect information to see if they can improve quality of life for people with advanced myeloma in the future.

Please note, you cannot volunteer for this study. A member of your care team may ask if you would like to join the study.

A trial looking at having a radiolabelled monoclonal antibody before an autologous stem cell transplant for myeloma

This trial is looking at a radiolabelled monoclonal antibody for people with myeloma who are going to have high dose chemotherapy, followed by treatment with their own blood stem cells (autologous stem cell transplant).

Doctors often treat myeloma with high dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. Some people also have radiotherapy. But high doses of drugs and radiotherapy can cause damage to normal cells as well as cancer cells.

Researchers are looking at ways of targeting treatment, so that it reaches the cancer cells but causes less damage to healthy tissue. In this trial, they are looking at a type of biological therapy called a monoclonal antibody (MAB).

The monoclonal antibody is radiolabelled. This means it has a radioactive molecule attached to it. The antibody targets a particular protein on the surface of myeloma cells, and then the radioactivity kills the cells.

The aims of this trial are to

·       Find out if this radiolabelled MAB helps people who are having a stem cell transplant for myeloma

·       Learn more about the side effects

A study looking at the drug palifermin in people having chemotherapy and stem cell transplant for myeloma (20050219)

Please note this trial is no longer recruiting patients.

This study is looking at when to give palifermin to treat painful sores in the mouth after high dose melphalan chemotherapy for myeloma.

Doctors sometimes treat myeloma with high dose chemotherapy, followed by a stem cell transplant. This high dose of chemotherapy can often give you a very sore mouth (mucositis). A sore mouth can stop you from being able to swallow or eat. You may also be more likely to get mouth infections if you have mucositis. So it is important that it is treated as soon as possible.

There is a drug called palifermin (Kepivance) which doctors already use to treat mucositis. Palifermin is a protein called ‘keratinocyte growth factor’ (KGF). KGF encourages the cells lining your mouth and digestive system to grow. People having intensive treatment for myeloma may already have this drug before and after their chemotherapy and transplant. But researchers want to find out more about whether palifermin works just as well if you only have it before chemotherapy and transplant.

The aims of this study are to see if palifermin

·       Stops you having as painful mouth sores as those who don’t have palifermin

·       Causes or worsens cloudiness on the eye’s lens (cataracts) - the research team do not believe that palifermin will cause or worsen cataracts
