Phase 1
Recruiting
Research Sponsored by Hackensack Meridian Health
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Subject has a confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma as specified by the International Myeloma Working Group criteria and must have measurable disease as defined by at least one of the following criteria: Serum monoclonal protein ≥ 0.5 g/dL, ≥200 mg of monoclonal protein in the urine on 24-hour electrophoresis, Serum immunoglobulin free light chain: involved FLC ≥ 10 mg/dL (≥ 100 mg/L) AND abnormal serum immunoglobulin kappa to lambda free light chain ratio
Subjects must have completed any 'induction therapy' and have achieved less than a complete response (CR).
Must not have
Subject has received radiation therapy within 3 weeks of enrollment Enrollment of subjects who require concurrent radiotherapy (which must be localized in its field size) should be deferred until the radiotherapy is completed and 3 weeks have elapsed since the last date of therapy.
Subject has concurrent, uncontrolled medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness which could place him/her at unacceptable risk, including, but not limited to, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled diabetes, active uncontrolled infection, and/or acute chronic liver disease (i.e., hepatitis, cirrhosis).

Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug, Carfilzomib, given with other drugs, to see what dose is safe for people.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with multiple myeloma who have had some treatment but not a complete response. They should expect to live more than 12 weeks, be in fairly good health with normal liver function and heart performance, and have an acceptable blood count. Women must test negative for pregnancy and agree to use contraception, as must men.
What is being tested?
The study tests different doses of Carfilzomib (20-70mg/m2) combined with Cyclophosphamide, Dexamethasone, and G-CSF in escalating groups using a '3+3 design' to find the best dose for stem cell transplant preparation in multiple myeloma patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Carfilzomib may cause fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, fever, and risk of infection. It can also affect blood pressure and heart rhythm. Side effects from Cyclophosphamide include hair loss, mouth sores while Dexamethasone can cause weight gain and mood swings.
