Efficacy Study of CYT997 in Multiple Myeloma

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a clinical research study that is designed to test the safety of CYT997 when given to patients with multiple myeloma and to test if CYT997 has any activity against that cancer.

Official Title
-----------------
A Prospective, Single-arm, Two-stage, Open-label Phase II Trial of CYT997 in Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Conditions
-----------------
Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Intervention / Treatment
-----------------
* Drug: CYT997


Participation Criteria
=================
Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: Diagnosis of multiple myeloma per International Working Group (IWG) criteria Have received at least 1 but no more than 4 prior lines of therapy Have failed to respond to the most recently administered anti-myeloma therapy Have a life expectancy of at least 3 months Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status < 3 At registration absolute neutrophil count > 1x10^9/L and platelet count > 50 x 10^9/L unsupported At registration bilirubin less than 1.5 x upper limit of normal and transaminases less than 2 x upper limit of normal and serum creatinine less than 0.19 mmol/L Written informed consent Must agree to adequate contraceptive measure if indicated Exclusion Criteria: Patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance Known or suspected hypersensitivity to CYT997 Patient with uncontrolled intercurrent illness Active infections or other illnesses that precludes chemotherapy administration or patient compliance. Pregnant or lactating women. Patients who have received any other investigational agents in the last 3 weeks prior to the start of treatment. Patients with the following conditions will be excluded: myocardial infarction or stroke within 6 months unstable angina pectoris or acute ischemic changes on ECG history of diabetic retinopathy symptomatic peripheral arterial disease major surgery in the last 30 days Patients with uncontrolled diarrhea despite optimal medication and those with any history of acute gastrointestinal bleeding Patients with a baseline prolongation of the QTc interval of Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) Grade 1 (QTc > 0.45-0.47 sec) or greater Patients with impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac diseases, including any one of the following: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 45% as determined by multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram; complete left bundle branch block; obligate use of a cardiac pacemaker; congenital long QT syndrome; history or presence of ventricular tachyarrhythmia; presence of unstable atrial fibrillation (ventricular response > 100 bpm). -Patients with stable atrial fibrillation are eligible, provided they do not meet any of the other cardiac exclusion criteria; clinically significant resting bradycardia (< 50 bpm); right bundle branch block + left anterior hemiblock (bifascicular block); angina pectoris ≤ 3 months prior to starting study drug; acute myocardial infarction (MI) ≤ 3 months prior to starting study drug; or other clinically significant heart disease (e.g., congestive heart failure (CHF), uncontrolled hypertension, history of labile hypertension, or history of poor compliance with an antihypertensive regimen). Patients currently receiving treatment with medications known to prolong the QTc interval and/or to induce Torsades de Pointes arrhythmia.
