ZOOM SAKK 65/08
Indication Advanced hematologic malignancies (multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, malignant lymphoma)
Phase I trial of nelfinavir and bortezomib in advanced hematologic malignancies
Protocol ID SAKK 65/08
SAKK (Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research)
Local Principal Investigator Primary Objective
The objective of the trial is to assess the safety of nelfinavir in combination with bortezomib in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies, to establish the recommended dose for phase II, and to detect signs of activity.
Inclusion/exclusion Inclusion Criteria include the following : criteria
o Patient must give written informed consent before registration.
o The trial includes patients with hematologic malignancies
(restricted to the entities detailed below), whose disease has either relapsed following, or progressed through, standard therapy; and where standard intensive therapy is not feasible, or who have a current disease state for which there is no standard effective therapy; or who have refused standard therapy in cases where no curative option exists.
Patients with the following disease entities may be included in the trial:
· multiple myeloma: after having received at least two lines of prior chemotherapy (induction chemotherapy followed by high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant ± maintenance therapy is considered one line of therapy) · acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia · malignant lymphoma:
- mature T- and NK-cell neoplasms, restricted to the following WHO-defined entities: T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia, T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia, aggressive NK cell leukemia, adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (nasal type), mycosis fungoides, Sézary syndrome, primary CD30 positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma NOS, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma,
anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK positive/ALK negative)
o WHO performance status ≤2 o Life expectancy ≥3 months o Age ≥18 years. o Women are not breastfeeding. Women with child-bearing

· absolute neutrophils >0.5x109/L. In addition, for neutrophils <1.0x109/L: no decline by >0.5x109/L during 7 days prior to registration (e.g. from 1.2x109/L to 0.6x109/L not allowed)
· hemoglobin >80 g/L (may be achieved by transfusion)
o Adequate hepatic function: total bilirubi
patients with suspected hemolysis: direct bilirubin
o Adequate renal function: calculated creatinine clearance >30
mL/min, according to the formula of Cockcroft-Gault
