February 20, 2017 updated by: Guido Tricot, University of Iowa

An Open-Label Phase I Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of ATRA, Celecoxib, and Itraconazole Administered As Maintenance Treatment Post-Autologous Transplantation in Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability associated with the combination of ATRA/celecoxib/itraconazole as maintenance therapy given after an autologous stem cell transplant in relapsed multiple myeloma patients.

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

Primary objective:

To evaluate safety and tolerability associated with the combination of ATRA/ celecoxib/itraconazole given after a salvage transplant for relapsed myeloma in 25 patients in a cycle schedule consisting of three weeks of treatment followed by a rest period of two weeks for a total of five cycles. Subjects will be evaluable only if they have received at least one dose of maintenance treatment. The salvage transplant is not part of this study.

Secondary objective:

To explore changes in frequency and molecular signature in the multiple myeloma stem cell (MMSC) fraction based on flow-cytometric assays and gene expression profiling before and after the experimental treatment and to correlate outcome with expression levels of RARα2 at time of relapse.

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 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Platelet count ≥70K/mm3 un-transfused
  • Resolution of all transplant-related toxicity to ≤ grade 2 per CTCAE v.4
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction as measured by ECHO or MUGA should be ≥ 40%
  • Creatinine of ≤ 2 mg/dl and a calculated GFR of >50mL/min/1.73m2
  • A total bilirubin, ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase of ≤ 2 ULN
  • Performance status of 0-2 based on the ECOG criteria. Patients with performance status 3 or 4, based solely on bone pain, are also eligible, provided that there is a source document to verify this

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence of QT prolongation and/or torsades de pointes (TdP) on EKG.
  • Any co-morbid condition that poses a greater threat to the patient's life expectancy than the recurrent myeloma
  • No concurrent malignancy with a life expectancy of less than two years, or one that requires ongoing chemotherapeutic intervention at screening
  • Presence of an infection that requires intravenous antibiotics
  • Pregnant or nursing females. Any patient of reproductive potential may not participate unless he/she has agreed to use an effective contraceptive method as covered during the informed consent process

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: ATRA/celecoxib/itraconazole

All maintenance drugs will be given on days 1-21 of each cycle, followed by 14 days off treatment. Cycles will be repeated every 35 days (+/- 3 days) for a total of five cycles.

Each patient enrolled will receive ATRA 20mg twice per day by mouth. Dose modifications are not allowed unless excessive toxicity occurs. In this case, ATRA will be de-escalated by 50% to 10mg twice per day by mouth.

The dose of celecoxib for all patients enrolled will be 400 mg twice per day by mouth. If creatinine level increases to more than 2 mg/dl and cannot be corrected by increased oral fluid intake or other measures, the dose of celecoxib will be decreased by 50%. If creatinine level does not drop below 2 mg/dl on the reduced dose, celecoxib will be discontinued.

The dose of itraconazole for all patients enrolled will be 200 mg twice per day by mouth. Dose modifications are not allowed.

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

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.
