TriangleNCT00004088 · STUDY IN CONTEXT
Combination Chemo, Peripheral Stem Cell Transplant, Biological Therapy, Pamidronate and Thalidomide for Multiple Myeloma
Draft scope assessment: narrower. Linked by condition-string match at the cancer-entity level. The study's eligibility - stage, biomarker, treatment line and prior therapy - has not been reconciled against this page's definition, so its population is narrower than this page in ways not yet recorded. The condition was transformed or resolved through the terminology hierarchy to reach this cancer type, so the link itself is a candidate a reviewer must confirm. Found by searching ClinicalTrials.gov for this cancer type, restricted to studies that have posted results to the registry. No FDA notice, FDA label or NCI summary held by this site cites this study. Because the search asked for posted results, studies without posted results were never looked for, so their absence from this page means nothing.

Linked outcomes
Response gradations are specified in the "Blade criteria", Br J Haematol 1998; 102: 1115-1123. Serum myeloma protein is measured 2x at least six weeks apart, and urine M-component is measured 2x at least 3 weeks apart. Complete response (CR): less than 3% plasma cells in bone marrow or blood. Very good partial response (VGPR): Greater than 90% decrease in myeloma protein, and urine M-component less than 0.1 gm/day. Partial response (PR) Greater than 50% decrease in myeloma protein; urine M-component less than 0.2 gm/day. Lytic skeletal lesions must not increase, and serum calcium level must remain normal. Stable disease (SD): 25-49% decrease in protein and 25% decrease in urine M-component. Progressive disease (PD): Greater than 25% increase in myeloma protein, or hypercalcemia. Relapse: 1) increase greater than 100% of myeloma protein; 2) More than 25% increase of myeloma protein; 3) reappearance of the myeloma peaks; 4) increase in lytic bone lesions on radiographs.

Kaplan-Meier estimate at three years post-first transplant of survival. Outcome is death or alive at follow-up (censored). 95 percent confidence interval of the point estimate is calculated using Greenwood's variance.
