Filter by:Panobinostat is a potent oral histone deacetylase inhibitor that alters gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms and inhibits protein degradation. It was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM) who have received ≥ 2 prior regimens, including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory drug. A GEP-based histone acetylation score allowing identification of MM patients with a poor prognosis and who could benefit from HDACi treatment was recently reported(Moreaux et al. BJC. 2013). Our hypothesis is that the histone acetylation score could be promising to identify MM patients who could benefit from treatment with HDACi and the development of personalized treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine response rate after 8 cycles of D-KRd (daratumumab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide (Revlimid) and dexamethasone in patients with multiple myeloma.
The study aims to compare the overall survival adjusted to quality of life of 2 groups of patients with multiple myeloma, depending on the type of care: (1) day hospitalization exclusively or (2) day hospitalization combined with hospital-at-home. As secondary objectives, the study aims to compare the impacts of the two types of care organization on: - the survival of patients and response to treatments according to criteria of the International Myeloma Working Group, - psychological status of patients, - specific toxicity related to treatment used (haematological and infectious toxicity, neurotoxicity, ...), - health outcomes, - the caregiver's burden, This study is combined with a qualitative study about the incentives and the barriers, and in order to set up the patient's typology.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of daratumumab monotherapy on bone disease in patients with relapsed/refractory MM who have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy, including lenalidomide and a PI.
CART therapy has showed good safety and efficacy in treatment of lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Researchers want to see if this helps people with high risk multiple myeloma after auto-HSCT.To test the safety and efficacy of giving targeting CD19 and BCMA T cells in treating high risk multiple myeloma followed with auto-HSCT.
Chemokine receptor CXCR4 was expressed in MM and lymphoma cells and CXCR4-targeting molecular imaging- 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT could be a promising technique to evaluate the extent of MM and lymphoma with higher accuracy. This prospective study is going to investigate whether metabolic characterization by 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT may be superior for diagnosis, risk stratification, and prognostic evaluation of MM and lymphoma.
Background: A person s tumor is studied for mutations. When cells are found that can attack the mutation in a person s tumor, the genes from those cells are studied to find the parts that make the attack possible. White blood cells are then taken from the person s body, and the gene transfer occurs in a laboratory. A type of virus is used to transfer the genes that make those white blood cells able to attack the mutation in the tumor. The gene transfer therapy is the return of those white blood cells back to the person. Objective: To see if gene transfer therapy of white blood cells can shrink tumors. Eligibility: People with certain metastatic cancer for which standard treatments have not worked. Design: Participants may complete screening under another protocol. Screening includes: - Getting tumor cells from a previous procedure - Medical history - Physical exam - Scans - Blood, urine, heart, and lung tests The study has 8 stages: 1. Screening tests repeated over 1-2 weeks. Participants will have leukapheresis: Blood is removed by a needle in one arm. A machine removes white blood cells. The rest of the blood is returned by a needle in the other arm. 2. Care at home over approximately 12 weeks. 3. Stopping therapy for 4-6 weeks while their cells are changed in a lab. 4. Hospital stay approximately 3-4 weeks for treatment. An IV catheter will be placed in the chest to administer drugs. 5. Patients on Arm 2 of the study will receive the first dose of pembrolizumab while in the hospital. Three additional doses will be given after the cell infusion 3 weeks apart. 6. Receiving changed cells by catheter. Then getting a drug over 1-5 days to help the cells live longer. 7. Recover in the hospital for 1-2 weeks. Participants will get drugs and have blood and urine tests. 8. Participants will take an antibiotic and maybe an antiviral for at least 6 months after treatment. They will have repeat screening tests at visits every few months for the first year, every 6 months for the second year, then as determined.
Patients with newly diagnosed symptomatic multiple myeloma per IMWG criteria prior to therapy initiation are enrolled in the study. The aim of the study is to investigate clinical and disease related risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in these patients as well as possible biomarkers of hypercoagulability linked with the occurrence of venous thromboembolism at diagnosis and during the disease course. The purpose is to create a risk assessment model for VTE in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients and make the model more accurate by combining relevant clinical and disease characteristics with biomarkers of cellular and plasma hypercoagulability. A standardized clinical research form is completed for all patients at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 month follow up to include relevant clinical, patient-related, disease-related and treatment related data. Blood sampling also takes place at baseline and 3,6,12 months to assess multiple biomarkers of plasma and cellular hypercoagulability. In addition lowe limb ultrasound is performed at baseline, 6 and 12 months. The primary endpoint is VTE occurrence. Following the elaboration of the ROADMAP-CAT-MM risk assessment model we will prospectively validate it. We expect that patients who are classified, as high risk according to the ROADMAP-CAT-MM will experience symptomatic VTE more frequently and will have higher morbidity and mortality rates during the follow-up. The prospective validation of the ROADMAP-CAT-MM will provide guidance for the use and choice of thromboprophylaxis in these patients and will identify high risk patients eligible for thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin (tinzaparin). In addition to symptomatic patients with multiple myeloma the study aims to investigate VTE risk in all plasma cell dyscrasias and will recruit patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, asymptomatic multiple myeloma, primary amyloidosis and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety of Talquetamab and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) and dosing schedule assessed to be safe for Talquetamab (Part 1 [Dose Escalation]) and to further characterize the safety of Talquetamab at the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) (Part 2 [Dose Expansion]).
This pilot clinical trial studies whether using high throughput drug sensitivity and genomics data is feasible in developing individualized treatment in patients with multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. High throughput screen tests many different drugs that kill multiple myeloma cells in individual chambers at the same time. Matching a drug or drug combination to a patient using high throughput screen and genetic information may improve the ability to help patients by choosing drugs that work well for their disease.
