Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether autologous transplantation (using the patient's own stem cells from the blood), followed by non-myeloablative (i.e. less intense) allogeneic transplantation (where the blood stem cells from a sibling donor are used for the transplantation) improves the outcome in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
The trial is a feasibility study of a patient-reported outcome (PRO) monitoring for patients with multiple myeloma. Patients will report weekly PROs during treatment at our outpatient unit. The trial will describe the development of treatment-specific item lists to adequately capture relevant symptoms during therapy, evaluate the feasibility of the weekly symptom monitoring, and evaluate the healthcare professional usage of the system in clinical practice.
To determine whether protective antibody levels increase after booster dosing with the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in patients diagnosed with Hematologic Malignancies who have low antibody levels after a prior first vaccination with any of the SARS-CoV2 vaccines that were authorized for use in the USA. Researchers will also assess whether the booster dosing with the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is safe in patients with multiple myeloma, amyloidosis, or other blood cancers.
To determine if KRN125 is non-inferior to filgrastim for the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells into the peripheral blood in patients with multiple myeloma.
Myeloma is the second most common type of blood cancer in the United States. Myeloma most commonly affects older adults. While some younger individuals do get myeloma, the average age when people are first diagnosed with myeloma is around 69 to 70. Along with having a higher risk for myeloma, older adults have an increased chance of developing other health problems or issues. However, not everyone ages in the same way. Some older adults experience major changes in health or degree of independence at relatively younger ages, while others remain quite healthy for many years. The specific issues that develop with age can also vary from person to person. One older adult may face difficulties with vision or hearing, while another may develop memory problems. Historically, cancer doctors have not done a very good job identifying these non-cancer issues. As a result, research has focused on better ways to systematically pick up on issues that may impact cancer outcomes or quality of life. The outgrowth of this research is assessments and questionnaires referred to as "comprehensive geriatric assessments," which evaluate the health and functionality of older adults thoroughly but efficiently. In both myeloma and other types of cancer, problems identified through geriatric assessments have been shown to predict how likely people are to develop side effects of cancer treatment and predict how long people are likely to live with cancer. Prior research has not addressed how best to help with the issues picked up through a geriatric assessment among patients undergoing treatment for myeloma, although a number of effective interventions have been shown to benefit older adults with similar problems in other settings. Therefore, the current study will test a strategy of systematically screening older adults undergoing myeloma treatment for geriatric-assessment-related deficits and referring participants to appropriate services and resources. The geriatric assessment in this study includes tests of mobility, memory, vision, hearing, and nutrition as well as questions about symptoms and social support. Individuals who have deficits in one of these areas will be referred to relevant services and resources such as physical therapy, a pharmacist, or the cancer center support program. They will then repeat the same assessment three months later, and the results will be compared to their original assessment to see if the deficit has improved, with particular attention to mobility and social support.
The purpose the research is to obtain preliminary data about the change in fitness from admission to discharge in patients undergoing an Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) , assessed by the 6 minute walk test as the primary objective and the SF-36 as the secondary objective. All subjects will wear a Fitbit monitor while admitted for the ASCT to record their daily activity.
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the safety and dosing of the study drug, magrolimab, in combination with other anticancer therapies in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and effect of belantamab mafodotin given together with lenalidomide and daratumumab in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed), does not respond to treatment (refractory) or for which the patient has not received treatment in the past (previously untreated). Belantamab mafodotin is a monoclonal antibody, called belantamab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called mafodotin. Belantamab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as BCMA receptors, and delivers mafodotin to kill them. Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug (altering the immune effects on the tumor cell). Daratumumab is a drug that is a monoclonal antibody that is directed towards a protein on the myeloma cell. Giving belantamab mafodotin together with lenalidomide and daratumumab may kill more cancer cells.
The myeloma microenvironment is the target of many drugs in development, and it is unclear how they can be combined with reference treatments such as lenalidomide. This pilot study consists of an extensive phenotypic characterisation of the impact of lenalidomide combined with dexamethasone on the bone marrow microenvironment of a homogeneous cohort of non-pretreated MM patients. Blood sampling will be systematically performed in a matched fashion to monitor the general effect of lenalidomide on the immune system and to detect possible peripheral markers. This study will provide rational guidance for future combination therapies with lenalidomide.
The purpose of this research is to provide an educational visit addressing common emotional stressors involved in the transplant/CAR-T process, and determine if this added education improves levels of anxiety, depression, and fatigue after transplant/CART in comparison to people who do not receive the brief educational visit.
