18 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient has a previous diagnosis of multiple myeloma
  • Patient requires retreatment for multiple myeloma
  • Subject has measurable disease as defined by > 0.5 g/dL serum monoclonal protein, >10 mg/dL involved serum free light chain (either kappa or lambda) provided that the serum free light chain ratio is abnormal, >0.2 g/24 hrs urinary M-protein excretion, and/or measurable plasmacytoma(s) of at least 1cm in greatest dimension as measured by either CT scanning or MRI
  • Subject has a Karnofsky performance status ≥60% (>50% if due to bony involvement of myeloma (see Appendix IV)
  • Subject has a life expectancy ≥ 3 months
  • Subjects must meet the following laboratory parameters:

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥750 cells/mm3 (1.0 x 109/L) Hemoglobin ≥ 7 g/dL Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm3 (30 x 109/L if extensive bone marrow infiltration) Serum SGOT/AST <3.0 x upper limits of normal (ULN) Serum SGPT/ALT <3.0 x upper limits of normal (ULN) Serum total bilirubin <2.0 mg/dL (34 µmol/L) Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 cc/min

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has immeasurable MM (no measurable monoclonal protein, free light chains in blood or urine, or measureable plasmacytoma on radiologic scanning)
  • Subject has a prior history of other malignancies unless disease-free for ≥ 5 years, except for basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast, or localized prostate cancer with Gleason score < 7 with stable prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels
  • Subject has had myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to enrollment, or NYHA (New York Hospital Association) Class III or IV heart failure (see Appendix VI), Ejection Fraction < 35%, uncontrolled angina, severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias, electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities
  • Female subject who is pregnant or lactating

  • Subject has known active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection
  • Subject has active viral or bacterial infections or any coexisting medical problem that would significantly increase the risks of this treatment program

  • Subject has known hypersensitivity to dexamethasone,cyclophosphamide,paclitaxel
  • Subject has a history of thromboembolic event within the past 4 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Subject has any clinically significant medical or psychiatric disease or condition that, in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with protocol adherence or a subject's ability to give informed consent

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Intervention

Arm Description

All patients received clarithromycin, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in 28-day cycles. Dexamethasone (40 mg) was given orally on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Clarithromycin (500 mg) was given orally twice daily.Lenalidomide (25 mg) was given orally daily on days 1 to 21

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Overall Response Rate (ORR)
ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with CR, nCR or partial response (PR) based on modified EBMT criteria per investigator assessment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS, defined as time from first dose of study treatment to progression or death due to any cause, as assessed by investigator
Overall survival (OS)
OS, defined as time from first dose of study treatment to death
Safety of combination therapy assessed using the National Cancer institute-Common Toxicology Criteria (NCI-CTC) grade scale for AEs and Lab assessments
Safety of combination therapy (Clarithromycin,lenalidomide and dexamethasone) as assessed by toxicity, which will be assessed using the National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicology Criteria (NCI-CTC) grading scale for Adverse Events and for laboratory assessments (v4.03) that include biochemistry, hematology, urinalysis; special safety assessments that include LVEF, Thyroid function Creatinine clearance and ECGs (electrocardiograms).
Genomic Predictors of Response Rate and PFS
Blood (about 1-2 tablespoons) collected for biomarker and routine tests and to evaluate the ORR and PFS.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This phase II study investigating the efficacy and safety of a combination of biaxin,lenalidomide and dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed/refractory MM.
Detailed Description
The combination of lenalidomide and dexamethasone is effective in increasing the response rate, time to progression, and overall survival in patients with relapsed or refractory myeloma.Clarithromycin is an antibiotic that has shown efficacy in association with steroids and lenalidomide.Clarithromycin, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (BiRd) in newly diagnosed MM has yielded an overall response rates (ORR) of 93% and a progression-free survival (PFS) of 43 months.No prospective study of BiRd to treat relapsed or refractory myeloma has been reported so far.The goal of this phase 2 clinical trial was to assess the response rate and toxicity of a combination regimen of clarithromycin (Biaxin), lenalidomide (Revlimid), and dexamethasone (BiRD) for the treatment of relapsed/refractory MM.
