    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    PADIMAC is a phase II study designed as a single arm study to evaluate the safety of a no treatment option for patients achieving CR/VGPR post induction therapy on the PAD regimen and not proceeding to ACST. The main objective of the study is to provide a reliable estimate of the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) for patients who, having achieved CR/VGPR following PAD therapy (measured following peripheral blood stem cell harvest, PBSCH), do not receive any further treatment until clinical indication of relapse. This is addressed separately for patients who are minimal residual disease positive (MRD+), and those who are MRD negative (MRD-), at end of induction therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Pregnancy testing prior to each treatment cycle was mandated for all women of child bearing potential, due to the unknown risk from bortezomib exposure to human embryo /foetus, crossing of dexamethasone through the placenta causing possible foetal development abnormalities and possible teratogenicity of doxorubicin. All patients had to consent to trial acceptable methods of contraception during the study and for six months post trial treatment. Due to the possible effect of doxorubicin on male fertility, for safety reasons, men wanting babies were advised on sperm cryopreservation prior to trial treatment. Patients who did not achieve at least a PR following trial treatment, immediately went on to receive salvage treatment. Patients who were assigned to no further treatment, following trial treatment and a negative MRD result, were offered off-trial ASCT on relapse. Cardiac function assessment was done at the end of trial treatment, due to possible cardiotoxicity from doxorubicin. Local supportive care protocols including antiemetic schedules, mesna, thromboprophylaxis (to prevent tumour lysis), transfusion support, mouthcare and prophylactic antimicrobial therapy were followed as required. Prior to each trial treatment dose, patients were evaluated for possible toxicities that might have occurred from the previous dose. For each of the trial drugs, dose modifications were put in place for specific haematological and non-haematological toxicities. Treatment delays were also allowed for toxicities that were not related to any of the trial drugs.
    Background therapy
    Patients who achieved at least a partial response (PR) following the trial treatment received PBSC Mobilisation before peripheral blood stem cell harvest (PBSCH): Cyclophosphamide, iv infusion in 500 ml NaCl 0.9%, 1.5-3 g/m^2 G-CSF, subcutaneous, 5-10 mcg/kg/day or 150 mcg/m^2/day Patients who achieved a partial response (PR) with adequate PBSCH, received high dose melphalan with autologous stem cell rescue (ASCT): NaCl 0.9% + 20 mmol KCl, 1 litre/hour Furosemide, 20 to 40 mg, IV stat Dexamethasone, 8 mg, IV stat Granisetron, 3 mg, IV stat Melphalan, 200 mg/m^2, short infusion (as per local protocol) in 100 ml NaCl 0.9% NaCl 0.9%, 1 litre over 2 hours + KCl 20 mmol to maintain urine output of at least 500 ml/hr NaCl 0.9% + KCl 1 litre four hourly x 1 NaCl 0.9% + KCl 1 litre six hourly x 3

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    14 UK sites were opened to participate in the trial over a period of 2 years (09/03/2011 to 13/03/2013). Of these, only 13 recruited patients into the trial. A total of 153 patients were recruited over 2 years and 9 months (01/04/2011 - 14/01/2014), a planned increase from the initial 120 target.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patients aged ≥18 years with previously untreated symptomatic myeloma were screened. They had to have measurable disease, suitable for high dose therapy and ASCT, adequate full blood count, renal, cardiac, pulmonary and hepatobiliary functions. Patients with ≥Gr2 peripheral neuropathy/neuropathic pain were excluded. Screening logs were maintained.

    Dosage and administration details
    At the start of the trial, bortezomib was given twice weekly in combination with Doxorubicin and Dexamethasone (PAD) at a dose of 1.3mg/m^2 as a bolus IV injection on days 1, 4, 8 and 11 of each 21-day cycle for a minimum of 4 cycles to a maximum of 6 cycles. It was given with doxorubicin on days 1 & 4 and with dexamethasone on days 1 & 4 for every cycle and days 8 & 11 for the first cycle only. Dose was calculated on D1 of each cycle and same dose was administered through out the days of that cycle. If a notable change in weight occurred within a cycle, as determined by an unscheduled weight assessment, dose was to be recalculated at that time. Following protocol amendments, bortezomib administration was changed to subcutaneous (2011) and then to either subcutaneous or intravenous routes (2014) using the same schedule. The preferred route of administration was subcutaneous, but IV injection was allowed only if a patient experienced ≥Gr2 SC injection site reactions.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    01 Jul 2011
    Protocol was amended to allow the following: - IV administration of bortezomib was replaced with subcutaneous administration - IV bolus injection administration of doxorubicin, administration of doxorubicin over 4 days (total dose 36/mg/m2) - inclusion criterion for Creatinine Clearance was changed from ≥ 30mL/min to ≥ 20mL/min - Serum free light chain essay was made mandatory post PBSCH and 100 days post PBSCH/ASCT Patient Information Sheet (PIS) was updated to include: - information on changed routes of administration for bortezomib and doxorubicin - additional details on effective contraception
    29 Nov 2011
    Urgent Safety Measure - There was an precautionary recall of the supplied bortezomib, Velcade, following a 'Dear Investigator' letter from the supplier. Due to GMP compliance issues identified at Ben Venue Laboratories, BVL, Ohio, USA, one of the manufacturing facilities for Velcade, there was a recall of batches manufactured at this site. Some of the clinical trial subcutaneous (SC) Velcade stock for the trial were affected and immediate action had to be taken as it was detrimental for patients not to receive treatment. The urgent measure taken was to allow patients to be treated subcutaneously using IV labelled trial supply, once it was confirmed by the manufacturer (Janssen) that the IV and SC formulations were the same. A site, where IV labelled supply was not available, was given the go ahead following confirmation from Janssen to administer the SC labelled supply from the affected batch to their patients. All sites were to revert to using new batches of unaffected sc labelled trial supply once received. Increased monitoring of adverse events at sites was advised. The plan of actions to be taken were discussed with the REC and MHRA before implementation.
    30 Nov 2012
    Protocol amendment: changes were made to protocol v2 - IV administration of bortezomib was allowed as an alternative route - Inclusion criteria states inclusion of patients with ECOG PS of 0-3. Patients with an ECOG performance score of >3 when this score is due to disease processes such as spinal cord compression, and who would otherwise have a score of ≤3, were included in the trial - exclusion of patients with active HIV, hepatitis B or C infection Detailed information on toxicity assessment, sample collection and other relevant information, were also included. The PIS was updated to include detailed explanation on side effects of bortezomib for both SC and IV routes, and other relevant updates made to the protocol.
    29 Aug 2014
    Target accrual number was increased from 120 to 153 Protocol was amended as follows: - Additional assessments and samples at relapse - RSI for subcutaneous bortezomib was changed from the Investigator's Brochure to the SPC
    04 Dec 2014
    Protocol was amended as follows: - Update to the trial endpoints and outcome measures: PFS2 (time from start of salvage treatment to 2nd relapse) and OS (overall survival) were added as secondary endpoints - Update to the outcome measures and assessment of the measures for the trial - Update to the long term follow-up schedule for the trial due to the addition of OS as a secondary endpoint - Update to the End of Trial definition

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
