An Open-Label Study to Assess the Effect of CYP3A4 Induction on the Pharmacokinetics of VELCADE (Bortezomib)

January 26, 2012 updated by: Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
The primary purpose of this Phase I study is to evaluate the effect of the co-administration of CYP3A4 inducers on the pharmacokinetics profile of VELCADE (bortezomib). Rifampicin will be used to assess the effect of a strong CYP3A4 inducer and dexamethasone to assess the effect of a relatively weak inducer. This study is also to evaluate the impact of CYP3A4 inducers on the pharmacodynamics (PD) of VELCADE and the safety profile of VELCADE.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  • Male patients must agree to use an acceptable method of contraception (for themselves or female partners as listed above) for the duration of the study.
  • Must be able to swallow capsules/tablets whole (without chewing, crushing, or opening).

  • Agree to refrain from the use of any products containing nicotine, alcohol, quinine, grapefruit juice, or Seville oranges from 7 days before the first administration of VELCADE through completion of the 72-hour PK blood sample collection (post Day 11 VELCADE dose) in Cycle 3.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis or treatment of a malignancy other than multiple myeloma or NHL within 1 year of randomization, or who have previously been diagnosed with a malignancy other than multiple myeloma or NHL and have any radiographic or biochemical marker evidence of malignancy.
  • History of clinically relevant liver or renal insufficiency; significant cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological, psychiatric, or metabolic disturbances.
  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity or intolerance to rifampicin and/or other antibiotics, corticosteroids, boron or mannitol.

    • Any exposure to rifampicin or corticosteroids within 28 days of screening.
    • Have received an investigational agent or used an investigational medical device within 28 days before the planned start of treatment. Concurrent participation in non-treatment studies is allowed, if it will not interfere with participation in this study.
