Cancer drug dose study canceled before it began
NCT ID NCT02315157
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to find the safest and most effective dose of the chemotherapy drug bendamustine for people with multiple myeloma that had not been cured by earlier treatments. It was a Phase 1 trial, meaning it focused on side effects and dosing, not on curing the disease. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
