January 21, 2020 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

A Phase 1b Dose Escalation Study of the Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor (HDACi) JNJ-26481585 in Combination With VELCADE (Bortezomib) and Dexamethasone for Subjects With Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to establish the maximum tolerated dose of JNJ-26481585 combined with VELCADE and dexamethasone.

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

This is an open-label (patient and study personnel will know what treatment is being administered), multicenter, dose escalation study. Increasing doses of JNJ-26481585 will be explored in combination with the standard VELCADE/dexamethasone dose. After the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined, up to 24 patients will be entered in a treatment group to receive the MTD (and if deemed necessary a lower dose level) to further assess the safety and activity of this combination. There will be 3 phases in the study: a Screening Phase (from signing of informed consent until immediately before dosing), an open-label Treatment Phase (from the first dose of JNJ-26481585 and VELCADE-dexamethasone until the End of Treatment Visit), and a Posttreatment/Follow-up Phase. Patients who achieve a positive response to treatment at the end of Cycle 1 will continue to receive JNJ-26481585 and VELCADE-dexamethasone for a maximum of 11 cycles (eight 3-week treatment cycles, followed by three 5-week treatment cycles). Patients with progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity will be withdrawn from treatment. In the Follow-Up Phase, patients whose disease has not progressed or who discontinued treatment for reasons other than PD will be assessed approximately every 6 weeks until PD is recorded or until the start of subsequent therapy. The study will end when all patients have been assessed with PD, or 12 months after the last patient is enrolled, whichever is earlier. Patient safety will be monitored. Drug A, JNJ-26481585, will be taken orally on Days 1, 3, and 5 of each week at doses starting at 6 mg and escalating to 12 mg. Drug B, VELCADE, will be given by subcutaneous injection (under the skin) at a dose of 1.3 mg/m2 on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of each 21-day cycle (Cycles 1 to 8) and on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 35-day cycle (Cycles 9-11). Drug C, dexamethasone, will be taken orally on the day of and after VELCADE at a dose of 20 mg. Dosing may be adjusted, based on tolerability.

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 99 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers
