NCT01283997

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to see if Minocin® (minocycline) can help to control nerve damage that causes numbness and tingling in the hands and feet (neuropathy) in patients receiving thalidomide and/or bortezomib.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The Difference Between Touch Detection Thresholds From the Sensorimotor Evaluation at Baseline and After 10 Weeks of Induction Therapy.

    Touch detection thresholds are determined using the up/down method with calibrated von Frey monofilaments, Starting with a 0.5mN force, the von Frey monofilament is applied for approximately 1 sec. If the subject fails to detect the stimulus, then the next higher force von Frey monofilament is applied. When the subject detects the presence of the stimulus, the next lower von Frey is administered. The up/down test sequence continues until the same force filament is detected for three additional applications. The force of that filament is then assigned as the touch threshold

    baseline and week 10

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the Mean Value of Patient-reported MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for Multiple Myeloma (MDASI-MM) Numbness Scores From Baseline to Week 10 Post Treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Newly diagnosed English speaking patients with symptomatic multiple myeloma who have received 1 or fewer treatment cycles of thalidomide or bortezomib, and who will receive thalidomide and/or twice-weekly schedule bortezomib as part of induction therapy for their multiple myeloma
  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years
  • Able to render informed consent and to follow protocol requirements
  • Women must be postmenopausal (no menstrual period for a minimum of 1 year) or if they are of childbearing potential they must agree to use adequate birth control measures (e.g. abstinence, oral contraceptives, intrauterine device, barrier method with spermicide, implantable or injectable contraceptives or surgical sterilization during the study
  • Men must agree to use adequate birth control measures (e.g. abstinence, oral contraceptives, intrauterine device, barrier method with spermicide, implantable or injectable contraceptives or surgical sterilization) during the study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Hypersensitivity to tetracyclines
  • Poorly controlled or advanced diabetes mellitus (hemoglobin A1c \>/= 8 %)
  • Women who are pregnant or nursing
  • Patients with peripheral neuropathy of \>/= grade 2 by CTCAE v4.0.
  • Have a history of alcohol or substance abuse within the preceding 6 months that, in the opinion of the investigator, may increase the risks associated with study participation or study agent administration, or may interfere with interpretation of results
  • Currently have any known malignancy other than multiple myeloma, or have a history of malignancy within the previous 5 years, with the exception of basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been fully excised with no evidence of recurrence
  • Have current signs or symptoms of severe, progressive or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac, neurologic, or cerebral disease
  • Inability to use interactive voice recognition software due to physical limitations (e.g. hearing impairment)
