A Prospective, Open-label, Multicenter, Observational Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone(VMP) for Initial Treatment in Patients With Multiple Myeloma Who do Not Undergo Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation

The purpose of this study is to assess the 2-year progression-free survival rate.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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 was a prospective, open-label, multicenter, observational study. Participants who received bortezomib, Melphalan, Prednisone(VMP) therapy for Multiple myeloma (MM) that was not eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation will be enrolled in the study. The study will consist of Screening phase; VMP therapy phase (9cycles); Follow-up phase (2 years from the day when the first cycle was started). Participants visited each institution for evaluation for 2 years from the date of baseline evaluation and first VMP administration (duration of treatment, 9 cycles; follow-up visits, every 3 months after the end of the treatment). Participants receiving VMP therapy will be primarily evaluated for 2-year progression-free survival rate. Participants safety will be monitored throughout the study.

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

20 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants receiving VMP therapy for MM that was not eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation will be enrolled in the study.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with symptomatic multiple myeloma: a) Intramedullary monoclonal plasma cells greater than or equal to (>=) 10% or histologically confirmed plasmacytoma; b) Presence of monoclonal protein in the serum or urine; c) Myeloma-related organ impairment as defined in protocol
  • Participants with presence of an illness that is detectable by definitions as defined in protocol
  • Postmenopausal, sterilized or sexually inactive women, including women of childbearing potential who exercise effective contraceptive measures before and during the clinical trial

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with previous experience of receiving a therapy for multiple myeloma (excluding radiotherapy and dexamethasone < 160mg in total)
  • Participants with severe peripheral neuropathy (Grade >= 2 by NCI CTC version 4.0)
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers
  • Participants with mental illness that can interfere with his/her cooperation with the therapy or the monitoring conditions of the clinical trial
  • Participants with other serious medical conditions (such as uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes mellitus and active infections)

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
2-year Progression-free Survival Rate
Time Frame: Up to 2 years
Progression-free survival rate: the length of time from the day when Bortezomib was first administered to disease progression or death, whichever comes first, in 2 years.
Up to 2 years

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
Time to Response
Time Frame: up to 2 years
Time from the first day of Bortezomib administration to the day of confirmed first response in participants with confirmed response, or to the day of loss to follow-up, disease progression, death or completion of study therapy in participants without response.
up to 2 years
Overall Response Rate
Time Frame: up to 2 years
Percentage of participants who achieved CR, VGPR or PR in 2 years.
up to 2 years
Complete Response Rate
Time Frame: up to 2 years
Percentage of participants who achieved CR as best response.
up to 2 years
Time to Next therapy
Time Frame: up to 2 years
The next therapy after the end of the study therapy was investigated, and the time from the day when the first therapy was started to the day when the next therapy was started was calculated.
up to 2 years
Time to Disease Progression
Time Frame: up to 2 years
Time from the first day of Bortezomib administration to the day of disease progression or relapse from complete response, whichever comes first.
up to 2 years

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. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures.
