About

This phase III randomized trial compares three different peripheral stem cell mobilization regimens for patients with multiple myeloma who have received primary induction therapy or other therapies. Up to 180 patients will be enrolled. Patients eligible for treatment will be randomized to one of the three following mobilization regimens:

Arm A = VELCADE, CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE, & G-CSF Arm B = VELCADE & G-CSF Arm C = CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE & G-CSF Arm D = PLERIXAFOR & G-CSF Arm E = PLERIXAFOR, VELCADE, & G-CSF

Full description

PRIMARY STUDY OBJECTIVES

• To compare the efficacy of the following peripheral stem cell mobilization regimens for MM: i. High dose cyclophosphamide, VELCADE, and G-CSF ii. VELCADE and G-CSF iii. High dose cyclophosphamide and G-CSF

SECONDARY STUDY OBJECTIVES

• To evaluate biomarkers as surrogate markers of mobilization in each arm To evaluate changes in tumor mass as defined by standard response parameters. To evaluate the safety of each of the arms.

This phase III randomized trial compares three different peripheral stem cell mobilization regimens for patients with multiple myeloma who have received primary induction therapy

Primary Endpoints

a) Percentage of patients able to collect >6 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg in < 2 collections.

Secondary Endpoints

Allocation: Randomized

Interventional model: Parallel Assignment

Masking: None (Open label)

---

47 participants in 5 patient groups

Arm A: VELCADE, CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE, & G-CSF

Experimental group

Description:

VELCADE at 1.3 mg/m2 IVP on days 1, 4, 8 and 11 in combination with high-dose cyclophosphamide at 2.0 g/m2 on day 4. G-CSF is given for ten (+/- two) consecutive days starting on day 9 at a dose of 10 micrograms/kg/day. Pheresis will commence once ANC of 1.5 is reached.

Treatment:

Drug: cyclophosphamide

Drug: bortezomib (Velcade)

Drug: G-CSF

Arm B: VELCADE & G-CSF

Experimental group

Description:

VELCADE at 1.3 mg/m2 IVP on days 1, 4, 8 and 11. G-CSF is given for ten (+/- two) consecutive days starting on day 9 at a dose of 10 micrograms/kg/day. Day 12 start pheresis collection

Treatment:

Drug: bortezomib (Velcade)

Drug: G-CSF

Arm C: CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE & G-CSF

Experimental group

Description:

High-dose cyclophosphamide at 2.0 g/m2 on day 1. G-CSF is given for ten (+/- two) consecutive days starting on day 2 at a dose of 10 micrograms/kg/day. Pheresis will commence once ANC of 1.5 is reached.

Treatment:

Drug: cyclophosphamide

Drug: G-CSF

Arm D: PLERIXAFOR & G-CSF
