Study summary

A randomized, comparative, double-blind trial of pentaisomaltose and dimethyl sulphoxide for cryoprotection of hematopoietic stem cells in subjects with multiple myeloma or malignant lymphoma with a need for autologous transplantation

Read the detailed description

The trial is a randomized, comparative, double-blind trial comparing the efficacy and safety of pentaisomaltose (PentaHibe®, Pharmacosmos A/S, Holbæk; termed PIM in the following) and dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), when used for preservation of harvested hematopoietic stem cells. Approximately 150 subjects with a diagnosis of multiple myeloma or malignant lymphoma (a minimum of 30 % of each diagnosis and an equal distribution in each preservation group) and undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) will be included.

The subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive ASCT preserved in the following cryo-protective agent (CPA):

  • A: PIM 16 %
  • B: DMSO 10 %

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Men or women ≥ 18 years
  • Multiple myeloma or malignant lymphoma diagnosis in which is indicated according to the standard procedures at the hospital
  • Willing to be hospitalized for minimum 24 hours after the ASCT
  • Willingness to participate and signing the ICF

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Multiple myeloma or lymphoma invasion of the central nervous system
  • Previous treatment with
  • Severe infection
  • Unsuitable for apheresis
  • Unable to provide ≥3 bags with a cell concentration ≥2.0×106 CD34+ cells/kg bodyweight per bag during apheresis
  • Pregnant or nursing women. To avoid pregnancy, women of have to use adequate (e.g., intrauterine devices, hormonal contraceptives, or double barrier method) during the whole trial period and up to 1 year after the last ASCT
  • Men, even if surgically sterilized, (i.e., status post vasectomy), who do not agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire trial period and through 6 months after the last ASCT, or agrees to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse
  • Any other medical condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, will put the subject's disease management at risk or may result in the subject being unable to comply with the trial requirements
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

    A: Pentaisomaltose 16 %

    Pentaisomaltose 40 % sterile solution; 40 mL will be transferred to a total volume of 100 mL, so the final concentration is 16 %.

    Other: Pentaisomaltose

  • Active comparator
    B: DMSO 10 %

    Comparator: DMSO 99.9 % sterile solution; 10 mL will be transferred to a total volume of 100 mL, so the final concentration is 10 %.

    Other: Pentaisomaltose

Interventions

    Each subject will receive 1 or 2 bags with cryopreserved cells according to randomization group.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells

    Incidence of subjects with engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells, defined as 2 consecutive measurements with a neutrophil concentration \>0.5×109/L within the first 19 days after ASCT

    Time frame: 19 days

  2. Incidence of subjects with AEs of special interest (limited)

    Incidence of subjects with AEs of special interest (limited) occurring within 24 hours after ASCT: headache, nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, or unpleasant odor

    Time frame: 24 hours after ASCT

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of subjects with AEs of special interest (limited)

    Incidence of subjects with AEs of special interest (limited): headache, nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, or unpleasant odor

    Time frame: 19 days

  2. Time to engraftment of neutrophil cells

    • Time to engraftment of neutrophil cells, defined as 2 consecutive measurements with a neutrophil concentration \>0.5×109/L within the first 19 days after ASCT

    Time frame: 19 days

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 Apr 3, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
