Conditions: Multiple Myeloma
Keywords: Multiple Myelonoma Romidepsin Bortezomib
Allocation: NA | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 32
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
This is a phase II, open-label, multicenter, dual-strata study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IV romidepsin given in combination with IV bortezomib for multiple myeloma (MM) patients with refractory or relapsed disease. Patients will be enrolled into one of two strata, bortezomib-resistant or bortezomib non-resistant.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Romidepsin was given as an infusion on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Bortezomib was administered twice a week for two consecutive weeks (Days 1, 4, 8 and 11) followed by a 17-day rest period.

Patients were treated to a maximum response plus two additional cycles or a maximum of eight cycles.

Interventions: intervention 1: Bortezomib intervention 2: Romidepsin
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Bortezomib was administered at a dose of 1.0 mg/m\^2 as an intravenous (IV) push over 3 to 5 seconds twice weekly for 2 consecutive weeks (Days 1, 4, 8 and 11) of each 28-day cycle. On days that bortezomib and romidepsin were administered together, bortezomib was administered prior to the romidepsin infusion.

Patients were treated to a maximum response plus two additional cycles or a maximum of eight cycles. intervention 2: Romidepsin initially was administered at a dose of 10 mg/m\^2 as a 1-hour intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Based on the occurrence of Grade 3 thrombocytopenia at this dose level, the dose was reduced by protocol amendment to 8 mg/m\^2.
