Official title
A Trial Comparing Single Agent Melphalan to Carmustine, Etoposide, Cytarabine and Melphalan (BEAM) as a Preparative Regimen for Patients With Multiple Myeloma Undergoing High Dose Therapy Followed by Autologous Stem Cell Reinfusion
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The work proposed herein aims to provide the first prospective, randomized comparative efficacy data between Melphalan and BEAM treatment regimen in the Multiple Myeloma (MM) patient population. The risk of such a study is deemed reasonable and ethical since: a) previous works have closely examined the safety and toxicity of the BEAM regimen and the doses to be delivered in this protocol are well below the toxicity levels; b) phase III trials of BEAM have provided reasonable data regarding the efficacy in lymphomas c) Early, retrospective data suggests that BEAM may be efficacious in MM however due to the lack of prospective controlled randomized clinical trial, there is adequate equipoise regarding its efficacy and moreover its comparative efficacy in relation to Melphalan and; D) there are known limitations in the standard-of-care for MM, Melphalan, namely, relatively low rates of complete response at the time of Autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) and poor progression free survival.
