Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies how well simvastatin works in overcoming chemotherapy resistance in patients with multiple myeloma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Simvastatin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The objective of this non-interventional study (NIS) is to evaluate patients' adherence and persistence to carfilzomib therapy in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone or in combination with dexamethasone alone or in combination with daratumumab and dexamethasone in adult patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who have received at least one prior therapy in a real-life setting.
This study will be a multi-center, open-label, Phase 2 study where newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma requiring systemic chemotherapy will be eligible for enrollment. A total of 55 subjects will be enrolled. Time to progression or death will be calculated from the date of first treatment on protocol until the date of disease progression or death from any cause. Patients can expect to participate between 12-24 cycles. The primary endpoint will be the rate of response by next generation gene sequencing at the end of 8 cycles among non-transplant candidates and transplant candidates who agreed to defer transplant.
This phase II trial study assessing the activity of metformin when given together with high dose of dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma (MM) that has relapse or refractory to previous treatment. High dose of dexamethasone (HDdexa) is used to treat relapse/refractary patients with myeloma and metformin also demonstrated synergistic activity with dexamethasone to eradicate MM cells in vitro and in vivo. Metformin hydrochloride, used for diabetes, may also help kill tumor cells. Giving dexamethasone with metformin may kill more MM cells and increase the response rate to HDdexa.
This study will evaluate melflufen in combination with dexamethasone in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in whose disease is refractory to pomalidomide and/or an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. All patients in the study will be treated with melflufen on Day 1 and dexamethasone on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each 28-day cycle.
This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of engineered donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Using T cells specially selected from donor blood in the laboratory for transplant may stop this from happening.
This is a multi-center, open label, phase II study designed to evaluate the efficacy of isatuximab with or without lenalidomide when given to patients with high risk smoldering multiple myeloma.
Patients living with multiple myeloma (MM) have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) due to the disease itself and the use of targeted therapies, including immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs). Prevention of VTE has become a major management challenge during MM treatment. There is a paucity of data with respect to the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in the cancer population. However, the NOACs offer comparable efficacy but improved safety compared with warfarin. Apixaban has shown excellent safety and efficacy for treatment and prevention of recurrent VTE (1,2). The safety and efficacy of apixaban for primary prevention of VTE in MM patients has not been established. Aim #1: To quantify the 6-month rate of major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding in MM patients receiving IMiDs who are prescribed apixaban 2.5 mg orally twice daily for primary prevention of VTE. Hypothesis #1: The 6-month rate of major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding in MM patients receiving IMiDs who are prescribed apixaban 2.5 mg orally twice daily for primary prevention of VTE will be ≤3% (2). Although the MM population, in general, has a higher medical acuity than that of the previous large randomized controlled trials of apixaban, we will be selecting a stable population of MM patients who are appropriate for immunomodulatory therapy. Aim #2: To quantify 6-month rate of symptomatic VTE in MM patients receiving IMiDs who are prescribed apixaban 2.5 mg orally twice daily for primary prevention of VTE. Hypothesis #2: The 6-month rate of symptomatic VTE in MM patients receiving IMiDs who are prescribed apixaban 2.5 mg orally twice daily for primary prevention of VTE will be <7% (3). Although additional therapies for MM such as dexamethasone and erythropoietin-stimulating agents may further increase the risk of VTE, the rate of incident VTE should be reduced to <7% with apixaban.
This study is a Phase Ib open label, single arm, adaptive multicentre trial. Patients with newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (MM) will be treated with Cyclophosphamide-Bortezomib-Dexamethasone (CyBorD) in combination with Daratumumab (DARA). The safety profile of daratumumab to date, which does not appear to overlap with those known for approved agents, combined with its distinct MoA, suggest that the therapeutic profile of daratumumab combined with various backbone regimens may improve the treatment effect of these regimens. Additionally, daratumumab as a single agent may prolong the progression free interval for these patients. Based on the potential for cyclophosphamide to enhance ADCP, there is a strong rationale to combine DARA with a cyclophosphamide, bortezomib containing regimen. This will be the first clinical trial to explore the feasibility of combining daratumumab with a cyclophosphamide containing backbone induction regimen and if successful will provide the rationale for larger studies exploring the efficacy of this combination in greater detail.
This study will find the highest acceptable treatment dose and timing of infusion of cord blood, culture expanded natural killer (NK) cells, a kind of immune cell, in patients with multiple myeloma. The NK cells will be given at varying days post autologous stem cell transplant. rhIL-2 is administered after treatment to help the NK cells expand in the body. The safety of this treatment will be studied and researchers want to learn if NK cells will help in treating multiple myeloma.
