Study of Natalizumab in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

September 15, 2014 updated by: Biogen

A Phase 1/2, Two-Arm, Dose-Finding Study of Natalizumab for the Treatment of Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety profile and the anti-tumor activity of 2 dose levels of natalizumab in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Secondary objectives are to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of natalizumab in this study population and to assess peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) saturation of very late antigen-4 (VLA-4, an α4-integrin) and evaluate possible correlations with clinical activity.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Despite no protocol-defined study stopping criteria being met, the sponsor decided to terminate enrollment after the phase 1 portion was complete and to not move into the phase 2 portion of the study. This decision was made due to difficulty enrolling participants and was not due to any safety concerns.

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Time Frame: Day 1 up to Day 28
DLTs = any ≥grade 3 toxicity related to treatment; treatment delays of ≥7 days due to any toxicity related to treatment, with the exception of hepatic transaminases; or alanine and/or aspartate aminotransferase (ALT and/or AST) >3*upper limit of normal (ULN) with either a total bilirubin >2*ULN or an international normalized ratio (INR) >1.5 related to treatment, or with the appearance of worsening fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, or eosinophilia.
Day 1 up to Day 28
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Day 1 up to Month 6
Response rates were classified according to the International Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma (Durie et al, 2006).
Day 1 up to Month 6
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Day 1 up to Month 6
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered medicinal (investigational) product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. See the adverse events section of the record for more details.
Day 1 up to Month 6

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number Of Participants Who Achieve A Complete Response
Time Frame: Day 1 up to Month 6
Response rates were classified according to the International Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma (Durie et al, 2006). Complete Response (CR): negative immunofixation on the serum and urine, and disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas , and ≤ 5% plasma cells in the bone marrow. Stringent CR (sCR): CR as defined above, and normal free light chain (FLC) ratio, and absence of clonal cells in the bone marrow by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence, based on a κ/λ ratio of > 4:1 or < 1:2 performed on a minimum of 100 plasma cells.
Day 1 up to Month 6
Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Duration Of Response For Participants With A Response
Time Frame: Day 1 up to Month 6
Response rates were classified according to the International Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma (Durie et al, 2006). Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate the median duration of response and associated 95% confidence intervals.
Day 1 up to Month 6
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Profile Of Natalizumab
Time Frame: Cycles 1 and 6: Day 1 (before infusion and 0.25, 2, 6 and 24 hours after infusion), Days 8, 15, 22. Cycles 2-5: Day 1 (before infusion and 0.25 hour after infusion)
PK modeling, either compartmental or noncompartmental-based, was used to describe serum concentrations. Standard PK parameters estimated include: area-under-the-concentration-time curve (AUC), maximum-observed concentration (Cmax), time-to-reach maximum concentration (Tmax), total body clearance (Cl), volume of distribution (Vd), and elimination half-life (t1/2).
Cycles 1 and 6: Day 1 (before infusion and 0.25, 2, 6 and 24 hours after infusion), Days 8, 15, 22. Cycles 2-5: Day 1 (before infusion and 0.25 hour after infusion)
Natalizumab Binding Saturation Of α4 Integrin Sites On Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC)
Time Frame: Cycle 1: Day 1 (1 hour before infusion and 1 and 24 hours after infusion), Days 8, 15, 22. Cycles 2-5: 1 hour before and 1 hour after infusion). Cycle 6: Day 1 (1 hour before infusion and 1 hour after infusion), Days 8, 15, 22.
Cycle 1: Day 1 (1 hour before infusion and 1 and 24 hours after infusion), Days 8, 15, 22. Cycles 2-5: 1 hour before and 1 hour after infusion). Cycle 6: Day 1 (1 hour before infusion and 1 hour after infusion), Days 8, 15, 22.
