About this study

This is open-label (both the participant and the investigator know what treatment participants will receive), prospective (participants are identified and then followed forward in time for the outcome of the study), multi-centre, and non-randomized (participants are assigned to different treatment groups by the investigator) study. The study will be conducted into 2 parts (Part 1 and Part 2). Approximately 400 participants will be enrolled (30 in Part 1 and 370 in Part 2). In Part 1 the optimum dose of cyclophosphamide will be evaluated and in Part 2 the selected dose of cyclophosphamide from Part 1 will be administered. Part 2 will include a screening period of a maximum of 14 days followed by chemotherapy (bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone) of a maximum of three 21-day cycles. Safety will be evaluated by the assessment of adverse events, vital signs, physical examination, electrocardiogram, and clinical laboratory tests which will be monitored throughout the study.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Cytologically or histologically diagnosed with multiple myeloma stage II/III
  • Participants without preceding cytostatic (tending to retard cellular activity and multiplication) treatment (pretreatment with radiation or dexamethasone is allowed)
  • Agree to use one of the contraception methods as defined in the protocol
  • Karnofsky performance status 60 percent or more
  • Adequate laboratory test values

Exclusion criteria

  • Non-secretory multiple myeloma
  • Estimated life expectancy less than 3 months
  • History of cancer (except basal cell carcinoma) in the last 5 years
  • Peripheral neuropathy (disorder of the peripheral nerves) grade 2 or more
  • Positive human immunodeficiency virus test and active hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding female participants

Treatment and study plan

Cyclophosphamide

Drug

In Part 1, cyclophosphamide with dose ranging from 900 to 1500 mg will be administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21 day cycle for 3 cycles to determine optimal dose. In Part 2, optimal dose determined in Part 1 will be administered on Day 1 of each 21 day cycle for 3 cycles.

bortezomib

Drug

Bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 will be administered intravenously on Days 1,4,8, and 11 of each 21 day cycle for 3 cycles in both parts (Part 1 and Part 2).

Other names: VELCADE

Dexamethasone

Drug

Participants will receive dexamethasone 40 mg orally or intravenously on Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12 of each 21 day cycle for 3 cycles in both parts (Part 1 and Part 2).

Primary outcomes

  1. Participants With Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) (Efficacy Set)

    Time frame: Up to Day 63

    CR and PR are defined by the local investigator according to the current European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) criteria. According to EBMT criteria, CR is defined as the absence of serum and urine monoclonal paraprotein + no increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions; and PR is defined as not all CR criteria + 50 percentage or more reduction in serum monoclonal paraprotein.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Participants With Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) (Per-protocol Analysis Set)

    Time frame: Up to Day 63

    CR and PR are defined by the local investigator according to the current European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) criteria. According to EBMT criteria, CR is defined as the absence of serum and urine monoclonal paraprotein + no increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions; and PR is defined as not all CR criteria + 50 percentage or more reduction in serum monoclonal paraprotein.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Complete Response + Partial Response in Relation to Cytogenetic Subgroups (Efficacy Set)

    Time frame: Up to Day 63

    Response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with response of combined CR+PR according to the EBMT criteria. As per the EBMT criteria, CR is defined as the absence of serum and urine monoclonal paraprotein and no increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions; PR is defined as not all CR criteria and 50 percentage or more reduction in serum monoclonal paraprotein. Percentage of participants with complete or partial response that carried the indicated cytogenetic marker is reported. Same participant could count in more than one category due to multiple responses possible

  3. Percentage of Participants With Complete Response + Partial Response in Relation to Cytogenetic Subgroups (Per-protocol Set)

    Time frame: Up to Day 63

    Response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with response of combined CR+PR according to the EBMT criteria. As per the EBMT criteria, CR is defined as the absence of serum and urine monoclonal paraprotein and no increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions; PR is defined as not all CR criteria and 50 percentage or more reduction in serum monoclonal paraprotein. Percentage of participants with complete or partial response that carried the indicated cytogenetic marker is reported. Same participant could count in more than one category due to multiple responses possible.
