Filter by:Background: Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the blood plasma cells. It usually becomes resistant to standard treatments. Researchers have developed a procedure called gene therapy. It uses a person's own T cells, which are part of the immune system. The cells are changed in a lab and then returned to the person. Researchers hope the changed T cells will be better at recognizing and killing tumor cells. Objective: To test the safety of giving changed T cells to people with multiple myeloma. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-73 who have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma that has not been controlled with standard therapies. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood tests Heart function tests Bone marrow sample taken by needle in a hip bone. Scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. They may have a brain scan. Pregnancy test Participants will have apheresis. Blood will be removed through an arm vein. The blood will be separated, and T cells removed. The rest of the blood will be returned through a vein in the other arm. Participants will have a central line placed in a large vein in the arm or chest. Participants will get 2 chemotherapy drugs by the central line over 3 days. Two days later, participants will get the changed T cells by the central line. They will stay in the hospital at least 9 days. Participants must stay near the hospital for 2 weeks. Participants will have 8 follow-up visits over the next year for blood and urine tests. They may have scans. Participants blood will be collected regularly over the next several years.
This is a multi-centre phase I/II trial with an initial dose finding phase for cyclophosphamide and lenalidomide combined with fixed dose pembrolizumab for patients with relapsed or relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma (MM) that have had at least 1 prior line of therapy
This study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose(MTD) and recommened phase 2 dose(RP2D) based on dose limiting toxicity(DLT), and to evaluate safety and pharmacokinetics(PK) profile of a single agent CKD-581 injection in Combination with Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in patients with Previously Treated Multiple Myeloma.
Collection of retrospective additional data (survival, biological, disease response data) following the study IFM 2013-04.
This study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose(MTD), dose limiting toxicity(DLT), safety and pharmacokinetics(PK) profile of a single agent CKD-581 injection in Combination with Bortezomib and Dexamethasone in patients with Previously Treated Multiple Myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to develop a novel platform for allo-SCT in multiple myeloma (MM) with the idea of maximizing anti-myeloma effect with conditioning and minimizing GvHD (graft versus host disease). Specifically, the investigators will use the Flu/Mel (fludarabine and melphalan) regimen. For GvHD prophylaxis, the investigators use the Hopkins PT-Cy (post-transplant cyclophosphamide) platform with the novelty of adding tocilizumab as both an anti-myeloma therapy and as a method to reduce GvHD. IL-6 has an important role in promoting the growth of myeloma cells and progression of disease.
This study will collect blood samples from healthy volunteers and volunteers with multiple myeloma who are going to get the seasonal flu, pneumonia, haemophilus influenzae B (HIB), and/or meningococcus vaccines. The main goal of the study is to start to identify differences in the immune response between multiple myeloma patients and people who don't have multiple myeloma. We hope this will provide important information about the best way and time to vaccinate multiple myeloma patients to flu, pneumonia, haemophilus influenzae B (HIB), and/or meningococcus .
Background: - T cells are white blood cells that fight several cancers. One cancer therapy involves removing a persons' T cells, changing them in a lab, and then returning them to the person. Researchers want to see if this helps people with multiple myeloma. Objective: - To test the safety of giving anti-B-Cell Maturation Antigen T cells to people with multiple myeloma. Eligibility: - Adults ages 18-70 with multiple myeloma that has not responded to standard therapies. Design: - Participants may be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - Blood and urine tests - Heart tests - Bone marrow sample - Multiple scans and X-rays - Participants will have apheresis. Blood is removed through a needle in an arm. T cells are removed. The rest of the blood is returned through a needle in the other arm. - The cells will be changed in a laboratory. - Participants will get 2 chemotherapy drugs over 3 days. - Two days later, participants will check into the hospital. They will get an intravenous (IV) catheter in an arm or chest vein. They will get the T cells through the IV in 1 infusion. - After this, participants will stay in the hospital for at least 9 days and stay nearby for 2 weeks. Then they will have blood tests and see a doctor. - Participants will visit the clinic 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 months after the infusion, then every 6 months. A bone marrow sample will be taken at the 2-month visit. - Participants blood will be collected for several years. Participants will have an annual physical at National Institutes of Health (NIH) for 5 years after the infusion. Then for 10 years they will answer health questionnaires.
The purpose of this research study is to describe a patients' fitness before and after treatment (whether that treatment be chemotherapy or a transplant). Fitness is a way of measuring a patient's current quality of health. With surveys, questionnaires and blood tests, we hope to create a tool that will give a good picture of patients' ability to tolerate treatment. In the future, we hope to devise the best treatment for a patient based on their "fitness".
Background: - Cancer development is associated with problems in immune system functions, which prevent the body from attacking and destroying the abnormal cells that lead to tumor growth. Research has suggested that certain white blood cells, known as Th1 (type 1 T helper cells) and Th2 T cells (type 2 T helper cells), are affected in individuals with some kinds of cancer -- when the proportion of Th2 cells is greater than Th1 cells, the immune systems ability to fight off the growth of malignant tumors is weakened. Researchers are interested in determining if an infusion of specially modified Th1 cells, in addition to stem cell transplant, is a safe and effective treatment for individuals with forms of multiple myeloma that might not respond well to standard treatments alone. Objectives: - To determine the safety and effectiveness of the infusion of modified Th1 white blood cells, in conjunction with standard treatment, as a treatment for individuals who have been diagnosed with high-risk forms of multiple myeloma. Eligibility: - Individuals age 18 to 75 who have been newly diagnosed with high-risk multiple myeloma and who have received no or minimal treatment (Cohort A). - Individuals age 18 to 75 who have relapsed multiple myeloma, as defined by measurable disease after at least 2 prior treatment regimens. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, blood and urine tests, and imaging studies. Some participants may also have a bone marrow or other type biopsy to evaluate the state of their disease. - White blood cells will be collected from the participants through an apheresis procedure, which will collect and separate the white blood cells and return the rest of the blood to the participant. - The collected cells will be grown and expanded under special conditions in the laboratory and stored frozen until participants receive standard of care treatment for multiple myeloma, including a stem cell transplant. - Participants will receive an infusion of the modified Th1 cells a few weeks after the transplant, and will remain in the hospital for a few days after receiving the cells to monitor the possible immediate effects of the treatment. - Participants will have regular follow-up visits to study the long-term effects of the modified Th1 cell infusion.
