Filter by:This is a Phase I/IIa clinical trial to identify the maximum tolerated dose of atiprimod and to evaluate the safety of atiprimod in patients with refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma.
RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Giving bortezomib as maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplantation may kill more cancer cells and prolong remission. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of adjuvant bortezomib as maintenance therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients who have undergone stem cell transplantation for intermediate or advanced multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to find out if transplant with a new regimen of chemotherapy called DT PACE-Melphalan is better than transplant with Melphalan alone. DT-PACE refers to a chemotherapy regimen for multiple myeloma consisting of Dexamethasone, Thalidomide, Cisplatin or Platinol, Adriamycin or doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide. Another purpose of this study is to find out if there will be fewer side effects with the new regimen of DT PACE-Melphalan, compared to melphalan alone.
The purpose of this investigational trial is to find out how well patients respond and how long their response lasts when treated with a standard regimen of dexamethasone with or without thalidomide and also find out what kind of side effects patients will experience.
This study has been designed to evaluate whether combination chemotherapy and "anti-angiogenesis" therapy with thalidomide is equal or superior to autologous transplantation for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this investigational trial is to find out how well patients respond and how long their response lasts when treated with a four day chemotherapy regimen involving dexamethasone, cytoxan, etoposide, and cisplatinum, or DCEP with or without thalidomide. Another purpose is to find out what kind of side effects patients will experience.
The purpose of this research is to study how helpful thalidomide is in controlling the myeloma disease and to study any side effect resulting from thalidomide.
This study has been designed to evaluate whether "anti-angiogenesis" therapy with thalidomide and whether additional chemotherapy after transplant will be beneficial. Another objective is to find out what kinds of side effects occur with this combination of treatment and how often they occur.
The purpose of this study is to determine if vaccination with autologous idiotype- or tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cells induces the generation of anti-idiotypic and anti-tumor immunologic responses.
The purpose of this study is to assess the toxicity of PS-341 combined with one of four doses of thalidomide in patients with refractory multiple myeloma, and to find the most appropriate doses of PS-341 and thalidomide in the combination.
