Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Measurable, secretory multiple myeloma defined as a serum monoclonal IgG of >10 g/L or a serum monoclonal IgA, IgD,or IgE >5 g/L, or urine M-protein of >200 mg/24 hr - Relapse or progression of myeloma following prior systemic antineoplastic therapy. Relapse or progression is defined by any of the following: · Reappearance of measurable disease (as defined above) following CR · >25% increase in serum or urine M-protein · Development of new or worsening lytic bone disease · New plasmacytomas or >50% increase in the longest dimension of an existing plasmacytoma · Worsening hypercalcemia (corrected serum Ca >11.5 mg/dL [2.8 mmol/L]) due to multiple myeloma
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Previous treatment with VELCADE® 2. More than 3 previous lines of therapy (separate lines of therapy are defined as single or combination therapies that are either separated by disease progression or by a >6 month treatment-free interval) 3. Peripheral neuropathy or neuropathic pain of NCI CTCAE Grade ³2
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary Objective The primary objective is to compare the overall response rate ORR (CR+PR), after 4 cycles, of subcutaneously (SC) administered VELCADE® to intravenously (IV) administered VELCADE® in patients with previously treated multiple myeloma | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objectives The secondary objectives are: · To determine the CR, nCR and VGPR rates after 4 cycles of single-agent VELCADE®, the ORR after 8 cycles including the effect of adding dexamethasone, the duration of response (DOR), time to disease progression (TTP), progression-free survival (PFS), 1-year survival, and time to response following VELCADE® treatment, administered either SC or IV · To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the 2 routes of administration, including the local tolerability of SC administration · To describe the plasma pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (via whole blood 20S proteasome inhibition assay) of SC administered VELCADE® as compared to IV administered VELCADE® | — |
