Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and best dose of R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid given with lenalidomide and dexamethasone to treat patients with multiple myeloma that has returned or gotten worse after treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with relapsed symptomatic multiple myeloma who have had at least one prior treatment. They must have a certain level of kidney function, blood cell counts, and be able to provide consent. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those unwilling to use contraception, or with other serious health issues are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in treating multiple myeloma that has returned after treatment. It aims to find the safest dose while assessing how well this combo works against cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune system changes, increased risk of infection due to low blood cell counts, possible organ inflammation from immune reactions, fatigue from chemotherapy drugs like dexamethasone, and specific risks associated with each drug.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Maximally tolerated dose of AT-101 in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone defined as the dose level below the lowest dose that induces dose-limiting toxicity in at least one-third of patients (Phase I)
Overall response rate, with response defined to be a stringent complete response, complete response, very good partial response, or partial response (Phase II)
Secondary outcome measures
Incidence of adverse events
Overall survival (Phase II)
Progression free survival (Phase II)
Other outcome measures
Biochemical response, measured by change in serum/urine M-proteins and light chains
Change in Cereblon expression
Change in basal expression of Bcl-2 and its family members

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (AT-101, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients receive R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid PO QD on days 1-21. Beginning in course 2, patients also receive lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21 and dexamethasone PO QD on days 1, 8, and 15 of courses 2-12. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
