Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this protocol, the investigators hypothesize that the combination of intravenous busulfan and melphalan with carfilzomib will be an effective preparative regimen with acceptable toxicity for participants with multiple myeloma who are candidates for autologous stem cell transplantation. To test this hypothesis, the investigators designed a phase I/II trial combining IV busulfan 130 mg/m2 plus melphalan 140 mg combined with escalating doses of carfilzomib ranging from 20 mg/m2 to 45 mg/m2. These results will be compared with the center's historical controls of participants treated with melphalan, busulfan and bortezomib.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants enrolled in this study protocol will receive daily intravenous (IV) infusions of carfilzomib for a total of 4 days (Day-9, -8 and Days -2, -1). The first two daily infusions will be given at a fixed dose of 20 mg/m2 and the final two doses will be escalated from the standard dose of 27 mg/m2 to 56 mg/m2 in a Phase I design, based on toxicity. The busulfan will be administered for 2 days over 3 hours from D-7, -6, at 130 mg/m2 . This dose was found to be safe and equivalent to the standard daily dose of 3.2 mg/kg. The 3rd and 4th daily doses of IV Busulfan will be adjusted in order to yield a systemic plasma drug exposure represented by a daily area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of approximately 5,000 millimoles-minute per dose (mM-min). These targeted plasma concentration of IV busulfan will be based on pharmacokinetics studies performed during the first day of IV busulfan. Melphalan will be given at a dose of 140 mg/m2 on Day -3. Each cohort will start with a goal of accruing three patients to determine the dose limiting toxicity.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

Busulfan IV over 3 hours every 24 hours for a total of 4 doses from D-6 to D-3. First two daily infusions will be given at a fixed dose of 3.2 mg/kg over 3 hours from D-6 to D-5. The 3rd and 4th daily doses will be adjusted to an AUC of approximately 5,000 mMol-min per dose.

Melphalan 140 mg/ m2 IV over 15-30 minutes for one dose on day -3.

Carfilzomib administration will follow a Phase I dose escalation design.

Each cohort will start with a goal of accruing three patients to determine the dose limiting toxicities.

Once the Maximum Tolerated Dose is established an expansion cohort will be treated to include a total of 10 additional patients.
