NCT02207556 · STUDY IN CONTEXT

Doxycycline to Upgrade Organ Response in Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis Trial

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. 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.

primary · POSTED

This measure will record the number of subjects for each grade of response to therapy for subjects with Systematic Disease (hematologic) only. Hematologic response will be determined as follows. Complete response (CR) - Negative serum/urine immunofixation with normal Free Light Chain (FLC) ratio Very Good Partial Response (VGPR)- Difference between involved and uninvolved FLCs (dFLC) \< 40 mg/L Partial Response (PR)- dFLC decrease \> 50% No Response (NR)- less then PR.

Hematologic response is not relevant to subjects with localized disease. Subjects with localized disease were not included in this analysis. Five participants had expired by the 1 year time point

secondary · POSTED

This measure is the number of subjects (systemic disease only) for each grade of response. Efficacy will be measured in heart, liver, or kidney. Heart N-terminal (NT)-proBNP response \>30% and \> 300 ng/L decrease in patients with baseline NT-proBNP ≥650 ng/L (Patients with progressively worsening renal function cannot be scored for NT-proBNP progression). Improvement by 2 New York Heart Association (NYHA) classes without an increase in diuretic use or in echocardiographic wall thickness ≥ 2 mm reduction in the interventricular septal thickness by echocardiogram or improvement of ejection fraction by ≥20%. Liver ≥50% decrease in an initially elevated alkaline phosphatase level, or Decrease in liver size by at least 2 cm by ultrasound. Kidney 50% reduction in 24-hour urine protein excretion (at least 0.5 g/day) without worsening of creatinine or creatinine clearance by 25% over baseline. Soft Tissue RECIST criteria will be used.

secondary · POSTED

Subjects will complete the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health instrument, a 10-item standardized patient-reported outcome measure that provides global ratings of physical function, fatigue, pain, emotional distress to report on common domains of health-related quality of life. The survey comprises a series of 5-response Likert-style questions. For each question, a low score indicates lesser or absent symptom or condition and higher indicates more severe symptom or condition (e.g., 1= None to 5=Very severe). Automated scoring produces a T-score for each domain. This measure reports the physical health score. T-scores for this domain range from 16.2 to 67.7. Higher scores indicate poorer physical health.

One subject in the Localized cohort withdrew consent prior to the 6-month visit. Five subjects in the Systemic Disease cohort expired during the course of the study; two subjects came off study; and one was lost to follow-up.

    Patient-reported Health Quality of Life
    measure definition
    Subjects will complete the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health instrument, a 10-item standardized patient-reported outcome measure that provides global ratings of physical function, fatigue, pain, emotional distress to report on common domains of health-related quality of life. The survey comprises a series of 5-response Likert-style questions. For each question, a low score indicates lesser or absent symptom or condition and higher indicates more severe symptom or condition (e.g., 1= None to 5=Very severe). Automated scoring produces a T-score for each domain. This measure reports the physical health score. T-scores for this domain range from 16.2 to 67.7. Higher scores indicate poorer physical health.
