Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Four 21-day cycles of PAD: a combination of bortezomib i.v. (intravenous) 1.3mg/m2 (Days 1,4, 8 and 11), doxorubicin i.v. 20mg/m2 (days 1 and 4) and dexamethasone p.o. (by mouth) (days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 and 12).
Days 13 to 21 will be 'rest' days - i.e. no treatment will be given on these days.
Intervention code [1] 4290 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
N/A - Open label study
Control group
Uncontrolled

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 5679 0
To compare the overall response rate following 4 cycles of PAD induction therapy between patients with and without amplification of 1q21 (measured by FISH - Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization ) in their marrow at baseline. Overall response will be measured by a number of factors including M-protein changes, clinical examination, radiological images, bone marrow results and IMWG (International Myeloma Working Group) Uniform Disease Response Criteria.
Timepoint [1] 5679 0
Disease response assessed monthly for 1 year after first treatment.
Secondary outcome [1] 241853 0
To compare the overall response rate to PAD induction therapy 3-months following ASCT (Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation), between patients with and without amplification of 1q21
Timepoint [1] 241853 0
3-months following ASCT.
Secondary outcome [2] 241854 0
To determine the event-free survival and overall survival rate at 2 years after Day 1 Cycle 1 of PAD.
Timepoint [2] 241854 0
2 years after Day 1 Cycle 1 of PAD
Secondary outcome [3] 241855 0
To determine the effect on overall response rate and overall survival of protein expression of p53, p16, Cyclin D1, bcl2, FGFR3 (Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) (measured by immunohistochemistry)
Timepoint [3] 241855 0
At PAD completion and 3-months following ASCT.
Secondary outcome [4] 241856 0
To assess quality of life of patients treated with PAD
Timepoint [4] 241856 0
At each study visit. There are a total of 15 study visits, performed at: Screening, Day 1 of each Cycle, PBSC (Peripheral Blood Stem Cell) Collection and ASCT visits; then at monthly intervals to 1 year after first treatment; and finally at 2 years after first treatment.
