Hypofractionation (Radiation) Trial for Multiple Myeloma

An i3+3 Phase I Hypofractionation Trial for Multiple Myeloma


Sponsor

University of Chicago

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Sep 8, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study if for people who have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma and their doctors are recommending radiation to help treat it. Typically, radiation consists of 2-3 weeks of external beam radiation therapy. Doctors leading this study would like to see if a shorter radiation course (i.e., hypofractionation) for pelvic radiation is safe for multiple myeloma. Because participants in this study will receive a shortened radiation course, each daily treatment dose that is delivered would be slightly higher than normal. This higher daily dose would be delivered because the study team would like to see if higher doses of radiation are as safe given over a shorter number of days compared to 2-3 weeks. The purpose of this study is to make sure that hypofractionation is safe and effective for individuals with multiple myeloma.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a shorter, more concentrated radiation schedule (called hypofractionation) for people with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that can cause painful bone lesions. The goal is to treat bone pain effectively while reducing the number of treatment visits. **You may be eligible if...** - You have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma - You have bone involvement that requires radiation treatment - You are 18 or older and can give informed consent - Your overall health allows you to tolerate radiation **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your overall health is too poor to safely receive radiation - You do not meet the blood count or organ function requirements - You have other conditions that make radiation unsafe Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

RADIATIONRadiation

Radiation given for cancer treatment. Radiation is usually an outpatient procedure completed over the course of 1-6 weeks. High-energy radiation will be delivered to a focused area of the body using a treatment machine called a linear accelerator. Unlike surgery, there are no invasive procedures other than inserting an IV during the radiation planning session. Radiation uses a mold that is customized to fit your body. This mold will be made in the radiation planning session and be used during treatment to keep you from moving. The mold is necessary for very accurate targeting of your tumor. During the procedure, the radiation therapy team will also confirm the exact location that needs to be treated using x-rays.
