A Study of PAD Versus Velcade, Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone (VCD) Treatment in Subjects With Multiple Myeloma

June 4, 2013 updated by: Jin Lu, Peking University People's Hospital

A Multicenter, Double Arms, Prospective Phase 4 Study to Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Combination Therapy of PAD Versus VCD Treatment in Previously Untreated Subjects With Multiple Myeloma.

A multicenter, double arms, prospective randomized controlled phase 4 study. Approximately 50 previously untreated subjects with multiple myeloma will be enrolled. The study will consist of 6 phases, screening, treatment and follow-up.

Detailed Description

Screening

At the screening visit, informed consent will be obtained from all subjects who are deemed potentially eligible for enrollment in the study, according to the protocol-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Treatment

Eligible patients are randomly assigned to receive either treatment PAD or VCD. All eligible subjects will be evaluated after 4 cycles treatment. According to the assessment of researchers and the willingness of patients to decide whether to autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT). Suitable for transplant patients will accept hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Not suitable for transplant patients will continue accept treatment for 8 cycles. The patients who accept more than 4 cycles treatment will receive efficacy evaluation.

Follow-up

All patients will receive 12 months of follow-up after the treatment period. Follow-up at 4, 6, 8 and 12 month after the treatment period respectively. Subjects who have disease progression or accept other resistance myeloma therapy during the 12 months of follow-up phase will stop assessed about the study and start followed up only for survival status every 6 months through telephone interviews or to research center follow-up. All patients will accept the follow-up for survival until last case patient who complete follow-up.

Safety will be evaluated throughout the study by assessment of adverse events (AEs), physical examination, vital signs and clinical laboratory findings.

  8. Be able to read and sign (or their legally-acceptable representatives must sign) an informed consent document indicating that they understand the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.
  2. Need to change the program according to the researchers' evaluated patients with disease progression during treatment.
  3. Had uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease. Had a myocardial infarction within 6 months of enrolment, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure, uncontrolled angina, clinically significant pericardial disease, or cardiac amyloidosis.
  4. Has a history of allergic reaction to compounds containing boron or mannitol.
  5. Severe neuropathy may affect the treatment, according to the researchers to determine.
  6. According to the program or the investigator's judgment, the patient is suffering from a serious physical illness or mental illness may interfere with participation in this clinical study.
  7. Concurrent treatment with another investigational agent.
  8. Pregnant or breast-feeding women.
