Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Bortezomib 1.3mg/m2 IV on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Dexamethasone 20mg oral on days 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 and 12 on a 21 day cycle.
Patients whose disease does not achieve at least a partial remission after 2 cycles of therapy or shows disease progression at any time will be withdrawn from the trial. Patients eligible for high-dose chemotherapy conditioned stem cell transplant and who are responding to therapy will receive 4 cycles of therapy before proceeding to transplant. Non transplant eligible patients will receive a maximum of 11 cycles of therapy except those who achieve complete remission sooner who will have bortezomib therapy ceased after two further cycles and therefore may receive less than 11 cycles of therapy.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 266907 0
To document the rate of renal response and reversal of renal impairment secondary to untreated MM following treatment with bortezomib and dexamethasone. This will be done by blood analysis.
Timepoint [1] 266907 0
During and at the end of each 21 day cycle.
Secondary outcome [1] 276599 0
To document the adverse events using bortezomib and dexamethasone in this patient population. This will be monitored by blood analysis, vital signs, patient's description of how they feel and by physical examination.
Patients receiving dexamethasone may experience hyperglycaemia, hypertension, myopathy, fluid retention, opportunistic infection, severe insomnia and depression.
Patients receiving bortezomib may experience various adverse events including thrombocytopenia, oedema, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy and GI disturbances.
Timepoint [1] 276599 0
During and at the end of each 21 day cycle.
Secondary outcome [2] 276600 0
To document time of renal response/reversal by blood analysis.
Timepoint [2] 276600 0
During and at the end of each 21 day cycle.
Secondary outcome [3] 276601 0
To conduct exploratory minimal residual disease studies in patients who obtain complete remission by blood and bone marrow analysis.
Timepoint [3] 276601 0
During and at the end of each 21 day cycle, and at the investigator's discretion.
Secondary outcome [4] 276602 0
To conduct exploratory proteomic analyses to attempt to correlate responsiveness to bortezomib with variations in multiple myeloma (MM) tumour cell protein expression profiles
Timepoint [4] 276602 0
During and at the end of each 21 day cycle.
Secondary outcome [5] 276603 0
The document the rate of dialysis independence by blood analysis.
Timepoint [5] 276603 0
During and at the end of each 21 day cycle.
Secondary outcome [6] 276604 0
To document the response rates of bortezomib and dexamethasone by blood and bone marrow analysis.
Timepoint [6] 276604 0
During and at the end of each 21 day cycle and at the discretion of the investigator.
