Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention will be Montelukast given at a dose of 20mg or 40mg per day orally with Gemfibrozil 600mg twice daily orally. The dose of Montelukast will start at 20mg and increase to 40mg if there is no toxicity at the 7 day review. The increased dose will be given until seven days after all subsequent chemotherapy cycles are administered. The study drugs will be given daily without interruption until seven days after the last chemotherapy agent is administered.. The dose can be reduced back to 20 mg a day if any significant side effects are observed.
Chemotherapy (CyBorD.) Montelukast and Gemfibrozil is given from day 1 until day 28 of each cycle and 7 days after all chemotherapy planned is administered. The dose is increased from 20mg to 40mg if there is no toxicity at 7 days. It can be reduced back to 20mg if any subsequent toxicity is observed.
28 day cycle in all patients.
Bortezomib 1.3mg^m2 subcutaneous injection on day 1,7,15,21 of each 21 day cycle. for two cycles
Cyclophosphamide 100mg given orally daily throughout treatment period for two cycles
Dexamethasone 20mg orally is given on d1,d7,d14,d21 of each 28 day cycle for two cycles
Intervention code [1] 295680 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
The patient will act as there own control. The response will be compared to the patients previous historical lack of response to standard CyBorD chemotherapy at the end of two cycles.(

This will enable analysis using a paired t test.
Control group

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria

Patients who show less than partial response at 8 weeks of Bortezomib/Cyclophosphamide/Dexamethasone chemotherapy. This is 20% of patients.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
80 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Patient showing at least a partial response to last treatment regimen for multiple myeloma. Pregnancy.

Non-randomised trial

Intervention assignment
Single group
Other design features
Patients results will be compared to their previous response/results to same chemotherapy regimen. The analysis will be with paired t-test for the values of paraprotein, light chain and percentage bone marrow involvement. Due to the design of the study only a small number of patients will be needed to demonstrate efficacy. If their is no demonstrable improvement in response after analysis of these 6 patients then the treatment would have deemed to fai and no other research will take place.
Phase
Phase 2 / Phase 3
Type of endpoint/s
Safety/efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Paraprotein, serum light chain and will be converted to a percentage of pre treatment level. it will then be analysed using paired t-test with the patients previous results acting as control.

Summary
Brief summary
This pilot study aims to test whether Montelukast and Gemfibrozil when added to CyBorD chemotherapy (Bortezomib Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone 28 day cycle) induces responses in patients not responding to this chemotherapy.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 18-80 years with progressive multiple myeloma after at least 8 weeks (two cycles) of treatment with a standard Bortezomib/Cyclophosphamide/Dexamethasone chemotherapy.

Study details
A total of 6 patients will be enrolled prior to a decision to expand or shut down the trial, depending on toxicity and response. Participants will receive further two cycles of CyBorD chemotherapy regimen with the addition of Montelukast. and Gemfibrozil..

Patients will be able to continue Montelukast and Gemfibrozil following completion if a response is observed depending on side effects

The hypothesis is that Montelukast which is an extremely well tolerated medication used to treat Asthma in all age groups, will sensitize patient’s tumour to chemotherapy which was previously shown to be resistant to the same therapy.
