NCT02145715

Brief Summary

Velcade (bortezomib), thalidomide and dexamethasone (VTD) has been demonstrated to be a highly effective combination in both patients with previously untreated and those with relapsed multiple myeloma. In previously untreated patients VTD demonstrated clear superiority to TD as induction therapy prior to planned tandem autologous stem cell transplant. The rationale of this trial is to combine a 'gold standard' antiMM combination with the HDAC inhibitor Panobinostat. There is emerging data to support the concept of clinical synergy between BTZ and HDACi's. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and estimated response rates of panobinostat, administered in combination with VTD, in subjects with relapsed and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)

    The number of participants experiencing DLTs within the first cycle of VTD-pano will be presented, with descriptive summaries of the specific DLTs observed. Summaries will be presented for each dose level.

    From cycle 1 day 1 up to the administration of cycle 2 day 1 (up to 22 days)

  • Proportion o f participants achieving at least partial response

    The proportion of participants achieving at least a partial response within 16 cycles of VTD-pano will be presented, with corresponding 80% and 95% confidence intervals

    within 16 cycles of therapy (an expected average of 48 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Safety and toxicity

    Throughout the trial, expected to be 3 years

  • Proportion of patients with each maximum response category

    within 16 cycles of therapy (an expected average of 48 weeks)

  • Time to maximum response to therapy

    from registration until the participant achieves any of the categories CR, VGPR, PR, MR or SD as their maximum response (up to 100 weeks - 48 weeks of treatment plus 52 weeks maintenance)

  • Progression free survival

    from registration to first documented evidence of disease progression or death (up to 100 weeks)

  • Compliance to therapy

    from initial treatment received as per protocol until treatment withdrawal (up to 100 weeks)

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Velcade, Thalidomide, Dexamethasone (VTD) + Panobinostat

EXPERIMENTAL

Up to 16 cycles of VTD+Panobinostat followed by panobinostat maintenance for 1 year or until disease progression. * Induction - Cycles 1-16 (21-day cycle) * Velcade: 1.3mg/m2 (subcutaneous) on days 1 and 8 * Thalidomide: 100mg (PO)on days 1 -21 * Dexamethasone: 20 mg (PO) on days 1, 2, 8 and 9 * Panobinostat: 10mg, 15mg or 20mg days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10 and 12 Dose depends on cohort entry at registration during the dose escalation phase. The recommended dose will be used during the expansion phase. * Panobinostat monotherapy maintenance for 1 year. Panobinostat will be given at the same dose as the recommended dose during expansion phase

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with a previous diagnosis of multiple myeloma based on IMWG 2003 definitions:
  • Monoclonal immunoglobulin (M component) on electrophoresis, and on immunofixation of serum or of total 24 hour urine
  • Bone marrow (clonal) plasma cells ≥ 10% or biopsy proven plasmacytoma
  • Related organ or tissue impairment (CRAB symptoms, anemia, hypercalcemia, lytic bone lesions, renal insufficiency, hyperviscosity, amyloidosis or recurrent infections)
  • Relapsed and relapsed-and-refractory myeloma who have received 1-4 prior lines and now require further treatment
  • Able to give informed consent and willing to follow study protocol
  • Aged 18 years or over

  • AST and/or ALT ≤2.5 ULN; except in subjects with known hepatic involvement, where AST and/or ALT ≤5.0 ULN
  • Serum creatinine ≤2.0 ULN

Steroid therapy is permitted (maximum 160 mg dexamethasone or equivalent), but must be stopped 48 hours prior to study drug administration. Bisphosphonates for bone disease and radiotherapy for palliative intent are also permitted.
  • Concurrent or previous malignancies (\<12 months post end of treatment) at other sites with the exception of appropriately treated localised epithelial skin or cervical cancer, or incidental histologic findings of prostate cancer (TMN stage T1a or 1b).

  • Active symptomatic fungal, bacterial, and/or viral infection including known active HIV or known viral (A, B, or C) hepatitis.
  • Gastrointestinal disorders that may interfere with absorption of the study drug
  • Patients who have been refractory to prior bortezomib, i.e. did not achieve at least an MR, or who have progressed on therapy or within 60 days of last dose
