Study summary

MYRE is a phase III multicentric controlled national clinical trial conducted in patients with multiple myeloma and renal failure related to myeloma cast nephropathy (MCN). Its aims are to assess (1) the efficacy of bortezomib plus dexamethasone (BD), compared with cyclophosphamide, plus bortezomib and dexamethasone (C-BD) in patients with inaugural MCN not requiring hemodialysis; and (2) in patients with inaugural severe renal failure secondary to biopsy-proven MCN and requiring hemodialysis that of an intensive hemodialysis regimen using either a dialyser with very high permeability to proteins (TheraliteTM) or a conventional high-flux dialyser, while receiving chemotherapy with BD.

MYRE is a phase III multicentric controlled national clinical trial conducted in patients with multiple myeloma and renal failure related to myeloma cast nephropathy (MCN). Its aims are to assess (1) the efficacy of bortezomib plus dexamethasone (BD), compared with cyclophosphamide, plus bortezomib and dexamethasone (C-BD) in patients with inaugural MCN not requiring hemodialysis; and (2) in patients with inaugural severe renal failure secondary to biopsy-proven MCN and requiring hemodialysis that of an intensive hemodialysis regimen using either a dialyser with very high permeability to proteins (TheraliteTM) or a conventional high-flux dialyser, while receiving chemotherapy with BD.

Study hypotheses are: (1) in patients not requiring dialysis, based on renal response after 3 cycles as the main endpoint, to show a benefit of 30% in absolute rate from an expected 30% response rate in the control arm; and (2) in patients requiring hemodialysis, using the prevalence of patients free of dialysis after 3 cycles as the main endpoint, to show a benefit of at least 20% from an assumed rate of 50% in the control arm. A total sample size of 284 patients was computed to be enrolled (type I and II error rates at 5 and 20%, respectively).

Interventions

  • DrugCyclophosphamide + Bortezomib + Dexamethasone regimen

    Dosing regimen (21 day-cycle): * Bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 I.V. on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. An interval of at least 72 hours between each administration of bortezomib is required. * Dexamethasone 20 mg on days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 and 12. * Cyclophosphamide 900 mg/m2 on day 1, through a short I.V. infusion The regimen is given for 3 cycles in the absence of serious side-effect.

  • DrugBortezomib +Dexamethasone regimen

    Dosing regimen (21 day-cycle): * Bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 I.V. on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. An interval of at least 72 hours between each administration of bortezomib is required. * Dexamethasone 20 mg on days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 and 12. The regimen is given for 3 cycles in the absence of serious side-effect.

  • DeviceHCO group

    TheraliteTM dialyzer of 2.1 m2 in surface

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Prevalence of renal response (if dialysis not mandatory at baseline: strata 1); Prevalence of patients free of dialysis (if dialysis required at baseline; strata 2)

    * renal response is defined by creatinine≤ 170 µmol/l and/or DFG (modified MDRD) ≥ 40 ml/min/1.73m2 * the absence of any dialysis requirement will be defined by an eDFG \> 15 ml/min/1.73 m2, 15 days after the last hemodialysis session

    Time frame: 3 months after randomization

Secondary outcomes

  1. Improvement in renal function

    * DFG (modified MDRD) * hemodialysis requirement

    Time frame: after 1 cycle of chemotherapy, at the end of chemotherapy, at 6 months and 1 year

  2. Hematological response

    Partial Response (PR) Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) Complete Response (CR)

    Time frame: after 1 and 3 courses, at the end of chemotherapy and at 1 year

  3. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Time to progression, relapse or death from randomization

    Time frame: 4 years

  4. Time to treatment Failure (TTF)

    Time from randomization to progression, relapse, non scheduled hematological treatment or death

    Time frame: 4 years

  5. Overall survival (OS)

    Time to death from randomization

    Time frame: 4 years
