Study summary

In this phase I trial, patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma will receive standard autologous stem cell transplant conditioned with high dose melphalan. In addition to Melphalan, the conditioning will include targeted total marrow irradiation (TMI). This is a conventional 3+3 phase I trial with increasing doses of TMI from minimum 3Gy to Maximum 9Gy.

Read the detailed description

In this phase I trial, patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma will receive standard high dose melphalan with autologous stem cell rescue. In addition the pre-transplant conditioning will include targeted total marrow irradiation (TMI). This conventional 3+3 phase I trial will increase the dose of TMI until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached. Initial patients enrolled will receive the lowest possible dose of 3Gy. Maximum dose will be 9Gy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Gy

    Assessing MTD of TMI of 3Gy, 6Gy and 9Gy

    Time frame: Up to 60 days post-transplant.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) and in Patients With Multiple Myeloma (Relapsed or Refractory) Undergoing Autologous Stem Cell Transplant Using the Combination of High Dose Melphalan and Total Marrow Irradiation

    The disease status of enrolled patients will be evaluated based on the International Myeloma Working Group Criteria. Response Criteria Stringent Complete Response (sCR) in addition to CR all of the following: 1. Normal free light chain ratio (FLC) 2. Absence of clonal cells in the bone marrow by immunohistochemistry if this is performed Complete Response (CR) requires all of the following: 1. Absence of the original monoclonal paraprotein in the serum or the urine by routine electrophoresis and by immunofixation. The presence of new monoclonal bands consistent with oligoclonal immune reconstitution does not exclude CR. 2. Less than 5% plasma cells in a bone marrow aspirate and bone marrow biopsy if this is performed. 3. No increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions on radiologic investigation (development of compression fracture does not exclude CR and radiographs are not required to document CR if not clinically indicated) 4. Disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytoma

    Time frame: Up to 1 year post-transplant.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2014 to primary completion in Sep 2016, 32 months.

Results were first posted in Oct 2024, 8 years 1 month after primary completion.

Of 197 non-industry phase 1 interventional studies under Multiple Myeloma, half reached primary completion within 57 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 39 and three quarters within 99. This study's 32 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 402 studies reached it within 50 months; a quarter within 32 and three quarters within 76.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 13, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
