Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is designed to decrease toxicity associated with prior tandem transplant protocols by reducing the intensity of induction, consolidation and maintenance therapy, while increasing event-free survival by adding bortezomib (Velcade®), thalidomide, gemcitabine and carmustine to the transplant regimens to down-regulate the rescue of myeloma cells by the micro-environment and to prevent DNA repair post high-dose alkylating agent therapy. By reducing drug resistance, it is hoped that 3-year event-free survival will be increased significantly when compared to Total Therapy II. Additionally, participants will have the option of providing biospecimens for a sub-study evaluating gene expression profiling at specific timepoints to better understand drug-resistance in myeloma, and to determine whether there are genes or gene products in the resistant population that can be targeted by novel therapies.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This study is targeted towards patients who have been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, POEMS(Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes), or myeloma plus amyloidosis and have had no more than 12 months of prior treatment. Furthermore, participants cannot have had a prior autologous or allogeneic transplant. The study schema consists of one round of induction chemotherapy, two transplants, one round of consolidation chemotherapy, and two years of maintenance treatment. This study design differs from its historical predecessors in the following manner:

  • In contrast to Total Therapy II and III, which only allow enrollment of patients with one cycle or one month of treatment prior to enrollment, the proposed study allows enrollment of participants with up to 12 months of prior treatment.

  • Induction therapy has been reduced to a single cycle.

  • Bortezomib and thalidomide have been added to the transplant regimen.

  • Carmustine is added to the second transplant.

  • Gemcitabine is added to the second transplant regimen.

  • Consolidation treatment has been reduced to a single cycle.

  • The first year of maintenance consists of 12 28-day cycles of bortezomib,dexamethasone, and either thalidomide, lenalidomide, or cyclophoshamide. The second year of maintenance therapy consists of lenalidomide and dexamethasone.

  • The novel agents thalidomide and bortezomib are not introduced upfront, but only with transplantation, consolidation, and maintenance.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Tandem autologous stem cell transplant

Induction: DPACE(dexamethasone,cisplatin,doxorubicin,cyclophosphamide,etoposide) chemotherapy plus stem cell collection. Additional stem cell collection and/or chemotherapy may be required. After collection, participants will receive dexamethasone x 4 days every 14 days. Transplant 1: The transplant preparative regimen will be bortezomib/thalidomide/dexamethasone/melphalan. Once recovered, participants start thalidomide daily and dexamethasone x 4 days every 21 days. Consolidation (if administered): VDT-PACE(bortezomib,dexamethasone,thalidomide,cisplatin,doxorubicin,cyclophosphamide, etoposide) Transplant 2: 8 weeks to 6 months after the first transplant, participants will have the second transplant Maintenance: Year 1- VTD (bortezomib, thalidomide, dexamethasone) cycles. Year 2 - VCD (bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone)cycles.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Event-Free Survival (EFS) [8 years]

      To determine whether, in comparison to Total Therapy II, the median Event-Free Survival (EFS) can be increased from 4.8 years to 7.2 years, which represents an increase in median EFS of approximately 50%, based on an intent-to-treat analysis.

    2. Identification of Drug Resistant Genes [5 years]

      To determine whether repeated bone marrow samples analyzed for gene expression profiling (GEP) can identify genes related to drug resistance in myeloma. The drug resistant genes or the gene products might then be targeted specifically to eradicate myeloma cells surviving tandem transplantation.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Grade 3 Non-hematologic and Grade 4 Hematologic Serious Adverse Events Associated With the Addition of Bortezomib, Thalidomide, and Dexamethasone Into Autologous Transplant Regimens. [2 years]

      To determine whether bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone with transplant 1 and velcade/gemcitabine with transplant 2 can be safely incorporated into well-tested pre-transplant regimens of high-dose melphalan and carmustine/melphalan in doses equivalent to the BEAM(BCNU, etoposide, arabinoside, melphalan)regimen. Treatment-related toxicities will be compared to those reported in the literature using similar intensive approaches.

    2. Overall Survival [10 years]

      To determine the median overall survival based on an intent-to-treat analysis, which should exceed 10 years, based on the projected 10-year survival of Total Therapy III, keeping in mind that participants are included in this protocol with up to 12 months of prior therapy.

Participants with a previous history of smoldering myeloma will be eligible if there is evidence of progressive disease requiring chemotherapy. Note that study participants do not need to have active disease at the time of study entry, as participants may have received up to 12 months of prior chemotherapy, which might have induced a response.

    2. Protein criteria must be present (quantifiable M-component of IgG, IgA, IgD, or IgE and/or urinary kappa or lambda light chain, Bence-Jones protein, or Free Kappa Light Chain or Free Lambda Light Chain) in order to evaluate response. Non-secretory participants are eligible provided the participant has > 20% plasmacytosis OR multiple (>3) focal plasmacytomas or focal lesions on MRI.

    3. Participants must have received no more than 12 months of prior chemotherapy for this disease. Participants may have received prior radiotherapy provided approval has been obtained from the PI.
