Inclusion criteria

  • Patient was previously diagnosed with multiple myeloma based on standard diagnostic criteria.
  • Patients must have relapsed (progressed > 60 days) after their last dose of bortezomib-based therapy. In addition, patients may be relapsed or refractory to other non-bortezomib-based therapies.
  • Patient has received at least 1 but not more than 4 prior anti-myeloma regimens and has progressive disease after the most recent treatment regimen.
  • Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients must not be refractory to any bortezomib-containing regimen.
  • History of allergic reactions or intolerance attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to perifosine (miltefosine or edelfosine), bortezomib or dexamethasone or any of their components.
  • Prior treatment with perifosine or an investigational proteasome inhibitor.
  • Chemotherapy or other therapy experimental or proven that is or may be active against myeloma within two weeks (14 days) prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Perifosine added to combination

    Perifosine added to the combination of Bortezomib and Dexamethasone. Perifosine is is supplied as a film-coated tablet containing 50 mg of active ingredient. Perifosine will be administered orally on an outpatient basis throughout the study. Daily administration will be one 50 mg tablet. The first dose of perifosine should be taken on the same day that bortezomib and dexamethasone are administered (Cycle 1 Day 1).

    Drug: Perifosine · Drug: Bortezomib · Drug: Dexamethasone

  • Placebo comparator
    Perifosine Placebo added to combination

    Perifosine placebo added to the combination of Bortezomib and Dexamethasone. The placebo for perifosine is provided in 256 mg white to off-white, round, biconvex film-coated tablets to permit a blinded trial with perifosine 50 mg film coated tablets. Placebo will be administered orally on an outpatient basis throughout the study. Daily administration will be one perifosine placebo tablet. The first dose of placebo should be taken on the same day that bortezomib and dexamethasone are administered (Cycle 1 Day 1).

    Drug: Perifosine Placebo · Drug: Bortezomib · Drug: Dexamethasone

Interventions

  • DrugPerifosine

    Perifosine will be dosed as one 50 mg pill every day of each cycle.

    Also known as: D-21266, KRX-0401

  • DrugPerifosine Placebo

    Perifosine placebo will be dosed as one 50 mg pill every day of each cycle.

  • DrugBortezomib

    Bortezomib will be dosed at 1.3 mg/m2 on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 every 21 days.

  • DrugDexamethasone

    Dexamethasone will be administered orally at 20 mg on Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12 of each 21-day cycle.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Determine the PFS (progression free survival) in patients with multiple myeloma, treated with perifosine, bortezomib and dexamethasone compared to patients treated with placebo, bortezomib and dexamethasone

    Progression-free survival will be defined as the time between randomization and the date of progression that occurred during the Core Phase.

    Time frame: 6 - 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall survival (OS)

    OS is defined as time from randomization to death from any cause during the Core Phase of the study.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  2. Overall response rate (ORR)

    The ORR for each treatment arm will be estimated as the proportion of responders, defined as a patient whose best overall response is PR or better during the treatment period, using criteria prospectively established.

    Time frame: 6 - 24 months

  3. Adverse Events

    Each AE and SAE term submitted will be mapped to a preferred term (PT) using the MedDRA dictionary. The investigator will classify the severity of AEs using the NCI CTCAE v3.0 and will assess the relationship of each event to each study treatment.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months
