Brief Title: A Phase IIa Study of Sotatercept on Bone Mass and Turnover in Patients With Multiple Myeloma
Official Title: A Phase IIa Study of Sotatercept on Bone Mass and Turnover in Patients With Multiple Myeloma
Study ID: NCT02230917
Brief Summary: Lytic bone disease continues to be one of the most devastating complications of multiple myeloma (MM) despite recent and dramatic advancements in MM management, and bone lesions persist and can continue to significantly impact a patient's morbidity, even when an individual's myeloma is otherwise under good control. To date, no agent has been shown to have a prolonged bone anabolic response in myeloma. Preliminary studies treating healthy postmenopausal women with a single dose of sotatercept demonstrated a rapid and sustained increase in serum biochemical markers of bone formation and a decrease in markers of bone resorption. Similarly, the murine analog to sotatercept, RAP-011, increases bone mineral density and strength in murine studies of both normal animals and models of bone loss. We hypothesize that sotatercept will provide an anabolic response for bone in myeloma patients with bone disease.
