Study of Subcutaneous and Intravenous Velcade in Combination With Dexamethasone in Chinese Subjects With Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

November 7, 2019 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-label Study of Subcutaneous and Intravenous VELCADE in Combination With Dexamethasone in Chinese Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this phase 3 study is to determine if subcutaneous velcade is non-inferior to intravenous velcade when administered in combination with low-dose dexamethasone in chinese refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma (r/rMM) patients. The study will assess the overall response rate after 4 cycles of velcade and dexamethasone administration.

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
Overall Response Rate After 4 Cycles of Velcade Treatment
Time Frame: 12 weeks (after 4 cycles; each cycle is of 3 weeks)
ORR defined as the proportion of participants who achieve either complete response [CR], very good partial response [VGPR], or partial response [PR], according to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. Participants with CR, VGPR, or PR that is unconfirmed in Cycle 4 but confirmed in the next response assessment will be included as CR, VGPR or PR, respectively.
12 weeks (after 4 cycles; each cycle is of 3 weeks)

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
Complete Response (CR) and Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) after 4 cycles
Time Frame: 12 weeks (after 4 cycles; each cycle is of 3 weeks)
CR and VGPR defined as the proportion of participants who achieve either complete response [CR] or very good partial response [VGPR], according to the IMWG criteria, after 4 cycles of Velcade treatment. Participants with CR or VGPR that is unconfirmed in Cycle 4 but further confirmed in the next response assessment will be included.
12 weeks (after 4 cycles; each cycle is of 3 weeks)

24 weeks (after 8 cycle; each cycle is of 3 weeks)
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Maximum up to 4 years 7 months
PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documented progressive disease/disease progression (PD), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs earlier.

Maximum up to 4 years 7 months
One-year survival rate
Time Frame: 1 year after last patient randomization
