Thalidomide for Multiple Myeloma

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this protocol is to assess therapeutic activity of thalidomide in previously untreated patients with asymptomatic multiple myeloma.

Clinical Trial Description

This study attempts to examine the potential efficacy of thalidomide in the treatment of patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma. The trial focuses on patients with asymptomatic and indolent disease who do not require immediate chemotherapy. We intend to treat asymptomatic patients with an initial dose of 200 mg each evening, increasing to a maximum of 800 mg.

Thalidomide is supplied as 50 mg capsules to be taken by mouth. The initial dose will be 200 mg at bedtime daily for 14 days (days 1-14), followed by an increase to 400 mg daily for 14 days (days 15-28), 600 mg daily for 14 days (days 29-42), up to a maximum 800 mg (days 43-completion) daily provided there are no side effects.

Patients who experience significant toxicity (grade 2 or more) at any time during therapy will receive a lower dose after treatment is interrupted for at least 2 days.

Once a maximum tolerated dose has been reached free of side effects, that dose will be continued for a total of 3 months from institution of therapy before definition of response or resistance. Only patients who have received at least 200 mg/d for at least 2 months will be considered evaluable for response. For patients in remission, treatment will be continued at the maximum dose free of side effects until relapse. Selected patients <55 years of age who achieve remission may be eligible for stem cell transplant (SCT) in which case thalidomide will be discontinued prior to SCT.

Patients must be willing to return for evaluation every 4 weeks since thalidomide may only be prescribed for 28 day intervals. ;
