Multiple Myeloma Treated With Thalidomide Before Autotransplant or With Conventional Chemotherapy and as Consolidation/Maintenance Treatment in Young and Elderly Patients : 3 Randomized Studies. (MAG 2002)

February 17, 2010 updated by: University Hospital, Caen

Multiple Myeloma Treatment With Thalidomide. Three Randomized Studies on Thalidomide as Induction Treatment Before Autotransplant (MY-TAG) or With a Conventional Chemotherapy (MY-DECT) and as Consolidation/Maintenance at Plateau Phase (MY-PLAT).

The aim of the study was to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of Thalidomide in first-line treatment of multiple myeloma as induction treatment in young patients, with Dexamethasone before autotransplant, and in elderly patients in combination with conventional chemotherapy and as consolidation/maintenance therapy in young and elderly patients at plateau-phase.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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.

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 to 80 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Time Frame
very good partial response rate (monclonal protein decrease of 90 % or more)at the end induction phase (MY-TAG and MY-DECT), progression free survival during consolidation/maintenance treatment (MY-PLAT)
Time Frame: before autotransplant (MY-TAG), after 4 cycles (MY-DECT), every 6 months (MY-PLAT)
before autotransplant (MY-TAG), after 4 cycles (MY-DECT), every 6 months (MY-PLAT)

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
partial response rate (> or = 50%), PFS and OS since diagnosis, safety thalidomide + chemotherapy
