Filter by:This is a pilot study to develop an outpatient-based process for the administration of teclistamab for for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients and to evaluate the burden on caregivers of patients receiving outpatient administration of teclistamab.
This project proposes to adapt monthly the existing ICOPE (Integrated Care for Older People) MONITOR program for elderly myeloma patients. This adaptation aims to detect earlier functional decline and prevent loss of autonomy.
This project will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the conditioning regimen bortezomib-bendamustine-melphalan (BBM) in combination with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in relapsed multiple myeloma given from 2011 to 2018 at Uppsala University Hospital. This approach will be retrospectively compared to high dose melphalan (HDM) in the same setting in the years prior to, and following the BBM-period. Data on efficacy and safety data will be collected through systematic analysis of electronic medical records and from the Swedish Cancer Registry.
Immunotherapy has shown promise in the treatment of hematological malignancies, including multiple myeloma. One approach is CAR-NK cell therapy, which involves genetically modifying natural killer (NK) cells to target specific cancer antigens. While CAR-NK therapy offers advantages over CAR-T therapy, such as reduced immune system reactions and lower production time and cost, challenges remain in terms of antitumor efficacy and the tumor microenvironment. Preclinical and early clinical studies have targeted various antigens, including BCMA, with CAR-NK cells in multiple myeloma. To further investigate the potential of BCMA-targeted CAR-NK cell therapy, this study aims to evaluate its safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in patients who have not responded to standard therapy.
This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of iberdomide in combination with belantamab mafodotin and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma (MM) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects white blood cells called plasma cells, which are made in the bone marrow and are part of the immune system. Multiple myeloma cells have a protein on their surface called B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) that allows the cancer cells to survive and grow. Immunotherapy with iberdomide, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Belantamab mafodotin has been designed to attach to the BCMA protein, which may cause the myeloma cell to become damaged and die. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Iberdomide plus belantamab mafodotin may help slow or stop the growth of cancer in patients with multiple myeloma.
Selinexor, a first-in-class, oral selective exportin 1 (XPO1) inhibitor, has shown promise in pre-clinical and clinical studies. It functions by inhibiting the nuclear export protein XPO1, resulting in the accumulation of tumor suppressor proteins and inhibition of oncoprotein mRNAs, which is selectively lethal to myeloma cells. Selinexor has demonstrated activity in combination with various drugs, including glucocorticoids and proteasome inhibitors, leading to its FDA approval for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
CXCR4 is type of receptor that has been detected in more than twenty different subtypes of cancers. Most of these cancers are associated with negative symptoms that worsen over time resulting in great disability and poor function. There is a need for novel tracers to image CXCR4-expressing tumors for better detection, staging, and monitoring of aggressive cancers without the need for invasive biopsy procedures that may not always properly capture the extent of a patient's disease. This study looks to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel radiopharmaceutical known as 18F-BL40 through its use in a PET/CT scan. Participants will receive 2 PET/CT scans: 18F-BL40 and 18F-FDG as part of this study.
This is a phase 1, multicenter, open-label study evaluating the safety and efficacy of ruxolitinib, steroids and lenalidomide among MM patients who currently show progressive disease using BCMA to test progression.
To learn if giving elranatamab before and after an autologous stem cell transplant (ASTC) can help to control newly diagnosed, high-risk MM. An ASTC is a type of transplant in which a person's own stem cells are collected, preserved, and returned to them.
In the Netherlands, the standard treatment for multiple myeloma is a combination of different medicines named daratumumab-lenalidomide-dexamethasone, abbreviated as Dara-Rd. In many patients this treatment results in suppressing the disease for a long time. The treatment is continued until it is not effective anymore and the disease progresses. But until now it is unknown whether continuous therapy also leads to prolonging life. In addition, there are concerns about side effects, leading to a reduced quality of life, the development of severe toxicity that remains, which hampers subsequent therapy, and high costs due to prolonged treatment. There are indications that temporarily stopping treatment is safe, leading to fewer side effects and allows recovering from toxicity or damage due to treatment. This may improve the quality of life.
