Filter by:The aim of this phase 2 study is to demonstrate that KIR-ligand mismatched haploBMT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide will improve progression free survival in poor risk multiple myeloma patients.
The study hypotheses is that the introduction of dose escalated thiotepa, in substitution to busulfan or melphalan, will reduce toxicity after allogeneic transplantation while improving disease eradication in patients with lymphoid malignancies not eligible for standard transplantation.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Lonquek which is a pegylated (long-acting) version of Filgrastim recombinant human G-CSF (G-CSF) in mobilizing sufficient number of stem cells for autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma.
To investigate the efficacy of the combination of Thalidomide and Huang-Lian-Jie-Du-Tang on the patients with multiple myeloma in maintain therapy.
Background: Autologous T cells engineered to express a T cell receptor (TCR) targeting NY-ESO-1 will be infused back to patients with NY-ESO-1- expressing malignancies. The patients pretreated with a lymphodepleting preconditioning regimen will be monitored after infusion of anti-NY-ESO-1 TCR-transduced T cells for adverse events, persistence of anti-NY-ESO-1 TCR-transduced T cells and treatment efficacy. Objectives: To evaluate the safety and the efficacy of anti-NY-ESO-1 TCR-transduced T cell-based immunotherapy for patients with NY-ESO-1- expressing malignancies. Eligibility: Patients older than one year of age, who have relapsed or refractory malignancies that express both NY-ESO-1 and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A2 molecules. Patients must have adequate organ functions. Design: - Peripheral blood from patients will be collected for isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), which will be transduced with a lentiviral or retroviral vector encoding an HLA-A2 restricted anti-NY-ESO-1 TCR gene. - Patients will receive a lymphodepleting preconditioning regimen to prepare their immune system to accept modified T cells. - Patients will receive an infusion of their own modified T cells. They will remain in the hospital to be monitored for adverse events until they have recovered from the treatment. - Patients will have frequent follow-up visits to monitor the persistence of modified T cells and efficacy of the treatment.
In Part I of the study VS-6766 will be given twice weekly or three times per week in treatment cycles of 4 weeks to investigate a safe and tolerable dose of the drug. Once the optimal dosing schedule is defined, the following patients with BRAF, KRAS and/or NRAS mutations will be enrolled: 26 patients with solid tumours (Parts IIA & IIC) and 10 patients with Multiple Myeloma (Part IIB). Up to 44 patients with solid tumours containing BRAF, KRAS and/or NRAS mutations will take VS-6766 in combination with everolimus (Part IID). Of these, 20 patients will comprise the Part IID dose expansion and will all have KRAS-mutant lung cancer.
Bortezomib-based triple-drug combination has greatly improved the response rate of multiple myeloma patients. Bortezomib,doxorubicin,and dexamethasone (PAD) is commonly used in clinical practice.Recent studies have found that cyclophosphamide, bortezomib,and dexamethasone (CyBorD)seems better than PAD in efficacy. However, there is no randomized phase 3 trial comparing these two regimens in the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients.In this study, the investigators will compare the efficacy and safety of these two regimens using once-weekly subcutaneous injection of bortezomib.
Hypothesis: Free light chain (FLC) removal haemodialysis will increase the rate of renal recovery in patients with cast nephropathy, severe renal failure and de novo multiple myeloma. This study will evaluate patients with multiple myeloma and severe renal failure treated with KIDNEY Therapy (previously called SUPRA HFR) to remove free light chains.
Background: - In allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), stem cells are taken from a donor and given to a recipient. Sometimes the recipient s immune system destroys the donor s cells. Or donor immune cells attack the recipient s tissues, called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). This is less likely when the recipient and donor have similar human leukocyte antigens (HLA). Researchers want to see if the drug palifermin improves the results of allogeneic SCT from HLA-matched unrelated donors. Objective: - To see if high doses of palifermin before chemotherapy are safe, prevent chronic GVHD, and improve immune function after transplant. Eligibility: - Adults 18 years of age or older with blood or bone marrow cancer with no HLA-matched sibling, but with a possible HLA-matched donor. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. They will have scans and heart and lung exams. - Before transplant, participants will: - Have many tests and exams. These include blood tests throughout the study and bone marrow biopsy. - Get a central line catheter if they do not have one. - Have 1-3 rounds of chemotherapy. - Take more tests to make sure they can have the transplant, including medical history, physical exam, and CT scan. - Get palifermin by IV and more chemotherapy. They will get other drugs, some they will take for 6 months. - Participants will get the SCT. - After transplant, participants will: - Be hospitalized at least 3-4 weeks. - Have tests for GVHD at 60 days and 6 months. These include mouth and skin photos and biopsies. - Stay near D.C. for 3 months. - Visit NIH 5 times the first 2 years, then yearly. They may have scans and biopsies.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Cyclophosphamide, Liposome doxorubicin and Dexamethasone(CDD) Plus Bortezomib might have effective in extramedullary plasmacytoma.
