A Phase I/II Trial of Cyclophosphamide, Carfilzomib, Thalidomide and Dexamethasone (CYCLONE) in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Active Multiple Myeloma


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To establish the maximum tolerated dose of carfilzomib given in combination with oral
cyclophosphamide and thalidomide and dexamethasone. (Phase I) II. In newly diagnosed myeloma
to evaluate the response rate (CR, nCR, and VGPR) to carfilzomib given in combination with
oral cyclophosphamide and thalidomide and dexamethasone after four 28 day cycles. (Phase II)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the overall response rate (CR, nCR, PR) after 4, 8, 12 cycles. II. Determine
the duration of progression-free and overall survival for patients receiving this regimen.

III. To evaluate the incidence of toxicities for this regimen. IV. To evaluate the ability
to successfully collect peripheral blood stem cells following four months of combination
therapy.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose escalation study of carfilzomib followed by a phase II
study.

Patients receive carfilzomib IV on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16; oral cyclophosphamide on
days 1, 8, and 15; oral dexamethasone on days 1, 8, 15, and 22; and oral thalidomide on days
1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 3 months, then every 3 months
for 1 year, and then every 6 months for up to 3 years.

- Negative serum pregnancy test done =< 7 days prior to registration, for women of
childbearing potential only

- Willingness to return to Mayo Clinic enrolling institution for follow-up

Exclusion

- MGUS or smoldering myeloma

- Peripheral sensory neuropathy >= Grade 2 as defined by CTEP Active Version of the
CTCAE

- Active malignancy with the exception of non melanoma skin cancer or in situ cervical
or breast cancer

- Pregnant women or women of reproductive ability who are unwilling to use effective
contraception

active conduction system abnormalities

- Other concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or any ancillary therapy considered
investigational; NOTE: Bisphosphonates are considered to be supportive care rather
than therapy, and are thus allowed while on protocol treatment

- The following medications are not permitted during the trial: any other
investigational treatment; any cytotoxic chemotherapy; any other systemic
anti-neoplastic therapy including, but not limited to, immunotherapy, hormonal
therapy, or monoclonal antibody therapy

- Palliative radiation therapy is permitted if clinically indicated and not indicative
of progressive disease
