Trial Information

Phase II Study of PTK787/ZK222584 in Multiple Myeloma


Patients will take PTK orally once a day for the duration of their time on the study. Each
cycle of chemotherapy will last for 4 weeks.

Measurement of vital signs will be done weekly during the first month of treatment.

Physical exam, vital signs, blood work, a quality of life assessment, and x-ray or MRI wil
be performed every 4 weeks.

Patients will remain on the study until their disease fails to respond to treatment or there
are intolerable side effects. Typically treatment is performed for 12 weeks and up to one
year in patients that are stable and responding.
