A Randomized Phase 2 Trial Investigating the Impact of Budesonide Prophylaxis on Incidence of ≥ Grade 2 Diarrhea in Multiple Myeloma (MM) Patients Undergoing Autologous Stem Cell Transplant
University of Utah
Summary
A randomized placebo controlled, phase 2 study of budesonide in subjects with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous stem cell transplant (ACST). The study includes a run-in period with 20 patients.
Description
The trial will initiate with a safety run-in of 20 pts with a ≥ 5 pts failing to engraft (or having a Grade 4 or higher infection rate) within 18 days as the flag for a potential safety signal. After all 20 of the patients in the safety run-in have completed follow-up for delayed engraftment (18 days), if the trial is not stopped for a safety signal, then the trial will proceed to a randomized stage. 50 patients will be randomized to placebo and 50 patients will be randomized to budesonide. Patients in both arms will report toxicities by responding to items from the Patient Reported Outcomes…
