Trial Outcomes & Findings for Bevacizumab, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Stage II or III Multiple Myeloma (NCT NCT00410605)

NCT ID: NCT00410605

Last Updated: 2017-09-01

Results Overview

Patient response to the treatment were determined by the definitions for complete response, partial response, marginal response, stable disease, and progressive disease outlined by IMBTR/ABMTR (Blade criteria). Responses were analyzed by descriptive statistics and summarized in tabular format (frequency tables). Furthermore, two-sided 95% confidence intervals for the proportions of subjects with a confirmed anti-tumor response were computed using the method proposed by Chang, which takes into account the multiplicity problem associated with the two-stage testing procedure. The objective response rate was estimated by using Whitehead's bias-adjustment approach.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from the University of Wisconsin (UW) Hospital and Clinics, the UW 1 South Park Clinic, and the Wisconsin Oncology Network (WON) clinics between November 2006 and March 2011.

No events between enrollment and group assignment. All subjects enrolled are immediately assigned to Arm 1, "Bevacizumab, Dexamethasone, and Lenalidomide."

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: up to five years

Patient response to the treatment were determined by the definitions for complete response, partial response, marginal response, stable disease, and progressive disease outlined by IMBTR/ABMTR (Blade criteria). Progression free survival was summarized using point estimates of the median time to progression and associated 95% confidence intervals. The data was presented graphically using Kaplan-Meier plots. Exploratory analysis, including multivariate Cox regression with demographic variables and markers of myeloma activity as covariates was performed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 5 years

Adverse events/toxicities were collected during regular clinical visits. Confidence intervals for the estimate of the true number of patients suffereing from grade 3 or 4 toxicities per common terminology criteria were calculated using the Wilson interval. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals for the proportions of patients with complications (grade 3 or higher toxicities) were constructed.
