Trial Outcomes & Findings for Open-Label Phase 1/2 Study of VELCADE for Injection in Patients With Light-chain (AL)-Amyloidosis (NCT NCT00298766)

NCT ID: NCT00298766

Last Updated: 2012-06-25

Results Overview

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) was defined as the highest dose level that has 0/1 out of 6 patients experiences Dose Limited Toxicity (DLT). MTD is defined separately for QW and BIQ dose cohorts. DLT was defined as adverse events occurring during Cycle 1 and: (1) related to VELCADE, (2) Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or neutropenia, (3) Grade 3 or higher nonhematologic toxicity.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 weeks in once weekly (QW) dose cohorts and 3 weeks in twice weekly (BIW) dose cohorts

Population: Phase 1 Safety Population includes all subjects who received at least one dose of VELCADE in phase 1 dose escalation cohorts

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) was defined as the highest dose level that has 0/1 out of 6 patients experiences Dose Limited Toxicity (DLT). MTD is defined separately for QW and BIQ dose cohorts. DLT was defined as adverse events occurring during Cycle 1 and: (1) related to VELCADE, (2) Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or neutropenia, (3) Grade 3 or higher nonhematologic toxicity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: from first dose of study medication to end of study visit

Population: Efficacy population included all treated subjects with an evaluable post baseline resposne assessment in the MTD cohorts (1.6 mg/m\^2 QW and 1.3 mg/m\^2 BIW).

Hematologic response was determined by the investigator per the response criteria for immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis by Gertz (2005). It include Complete and Partial Responders (CR+PR). CR requires serum and urine negative for a monoclonal protein by immunofixation and free light chain ratio normal. PR requires: 1. reduction in quantitative serum M-protein by 50% if baseline value is at least 0.5 g/dL, 2. if light chain is detected in the urine (with a consistent peak and \>100 mg/ 24 hours), then 50% reduction is required, 3. if free light chain \>10 mg/dL, reduction by 50% is required.
