Study in Patients With Untreated Multiple Myeloma and Renal Insufficiency

December 11, 2020 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Phase 2 Study of BHQ880, an Anti-Dickkopf1 (DKK1) Monoclonal Antibody (mAb), in Patients With Untreated Multiple Myeloma and Renal Insufficiency

The study will evaluate the effects of BHQ880 in patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma and renal insufficiency who are not considered candidates for bisphosphonate therapy. The primary objective of the study will be to evaluate the effect of BHQ880 in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone, compared to placebo administered with the combination on the time to first Skeletal Related Event (SRE) on study.

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.

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.

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.

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
effect of BHQ880 compared with placebo on time to first Skeletal Related Event (SRE) in patients with untreated multiple myeloma and renal insufficiency in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone
Time Frame: 18-month median time to first SRE assumed for the placebo arm
Time to first SRE from randomization
18-month median time to first SRE assumed for the placebo arm

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
safety and tolerability of BHQ880 in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone
Time Frame: From screening through month 17
Number of patients with adverse events/serious adverse events, abnormal clinical laboratory values, and the assessment of immunogenicity

Determine the pharmacokinetic parameters for BHQ880 and bortezomib (Cmax, Tmax, AUC0-tlast, t1/2, and accumulation ratio of BHQ880).
At screening and weeks 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 11, 13, 16, 25 and 34
Evaluate the effect of BHQ880 on bone metabolism
Time Frame: At screening and at months 3, 6, 12, and 18
1) Change in bone mineral density, measured by dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), from randomization to 12 and 18 months; 2) Change in bone strength, measured by quantitative computed tomography (qCT), from randomization to 3 and 6 months

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
