Brief summary

Study of Plitidepsin in combination with dexamethasone versus dexamethasone alone in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Detailed description

Phase III Study in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma to compare the efficacy of plitidepsin in combination with dexamethasone vs. dexamethasone alone measured by progression-free survival (PFS) and to evaluate tumor response, duration of response (DR), overall survival (OS) and to rule out any effect of plitidepsin on the duration of the QT/QTc interval (time corresponding to the beginning of depolarization to re-polarization of the ventricles).

Interventions

plitidepsin: powder and solvent for concentrate for solution for infusion. 2 mg vial + 4 ml ampoule. 5 mg/m2 intravenously (i.v.) over three hours on Day 1 and 15 every 4 weeks. dexamethasone: 4 mg tablet. 40 mg orally on Day 1, 8, 15 and 22 every four weeks at least one hour before plitidepsin infusion.

DRUGDexamethasone

4 mg tablet. 40 mg orally on Day 1, 8, 15 and 22 every four weeks.

Time frame: From randomization to the death due to any cause,assessed up to 5 years

Population: All Randomized Patients

Percentage of Participants With Duration of Response (Independent Review Committee) at 6 Months

DR was calculated from the date of first documentation of response to the date of disease progression or death. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

Time frame: From the date of first documentation of response to the date of disease progression or death, assessed up to 6 months

Population: Patients with documentation of response

Percentage of Participants With Progression-free Survival (Investigator Assessment) at 6 Months

The secondary study analysis was based on Investigator's assessment PFS data in the ITT efficacy population, defined as all patients randomized to either treatment arm. PFS was calculated from randomization to the first evidence of PD or death due to any cause. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions If the patient received further antitumor therapy before PD and within the timeframe expected for first follow-up, PFS was censored on the date of the last disease assessment prior to the administration of this antitumor therapy.

Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 6 months
