Filter by:The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability and activity of a once-weekly regimen of carfilzomib in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
This phase I trial studies the safety of SVN53-67/M57-KLH peptide vaccine in incomplete Freund's adjuvant together with sargramostim in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are receiving lenalidomide maintenance therapy. Vaccines made from survivin peptide may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells that express survivin. Incomplete Freund's adjuvant may help stimulate the body's immune response to a vaccine treatment. Colony-stimulating factors, such as sargramostim, may increase the production of blood cells. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving SVN53-67/M57-KLH peptide vaccine in incomplete Freund's adjuvant and sargramostim before or after the start of lenalidomide maintenance therapy may be a better treatment for multiple myeloma.
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of isatuximab when given together with carfilzomib with or without dexamethasone and lenalidomide in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not respond to previous treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as isatuximab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone and lenalidomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving isatuximab and carfilzomib with or without dexamethasone and lenalidomide may be a better treatment for patients with multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a common incurable blood cancer causing debilitating symptoms-bone pain, kidney failure, low blood counts and infection. Chemotherapy outcomes are disappointing due to short-term response and long-term toxicities. 1. Studies showed these patients have weak immune against MM due to the immune checkpoint mediated by the PD1/PD-L1 interaction between immune cells and MM. Anti-PD-1 antibody (anti-PD1) disrupts this interaction, thus unleashing immune cell function and leading to killing of MM cells. 2. Studies further showed enhancement of this "unleash" after autologous transplant and better MM control by anti-PD1 when used after transplant. 3. Anti-PD1 has been extensively studied in patients with other cancers. It is very safe and effective and has been FDA-approved. Complications are of mild degree and easy to manage successfully in out-patient setting. Severe complications are rare. Thus, investigators proposed an efficacy study of anti-PD1 treatment after transplant to improve MM treatment outcomes. This was a collaborative study with Medical College of Wisconsin (headquarter of Center for International blood and Marrow Transplant Research). Investigators hypothesized that anti-PD1 treatment would increase the MM response and the MM control duration when added to the standard MM treatment after transplant. Anti-PD1 was given at the dose and interval, which had been studied previously (200 mg intravenous injection every 3 weeks) between 2 weeks until 6 months after transplant. Subjects were monitored closely during and after anti-PD1 therapy until at least 1 year post transplant. Late complications were followed for 3 years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate three daratumumab dose schedules in participants with Smoldering Multiple Myeloma.
The Cardamon trial is a phase 2 trial using the standard chemotherapy drugs cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone in combination with a new drug called Carfilzomib in patients with multiple myeloma.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of bendamustine hydrochloride in treating patients with previously treated multiple myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of ixazomib maintenance therapy on progression free survival (PFS) compared with placebo, in participants with NDMM who have had a major response (complete response [CR], very good partial response [VGPR], or partial response [PR]) to initial therapy and who have not undergone SCT.
Multiple myeloma is a morbid disease associated with a poor outcome, particularly those with high-risk cytogenetics. While standard therapies have modestly improved survival in these high-risk patients, myeloma remains incurable. To date, the only potential curative treatment remains allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. However, the high incidences of toxicities including chronic GVHD and disease progression are currently the two most important obstacles to this therapy. Better approaches to maintain and improve benefits of allogeneic transplant, while decreasing toxicity, are urgently needed. The investigators hypothesize that Bortezomib administration after non myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in high-risk myeloma patients might improved the outcome of these patients by decreasing myeloma relapse and the severity of chronic GVHD while preserving the graft-versus-myeloma effect. Our goal is to improve the poor clinical outcome of high-risk myeloma patients.
IFM 2012-03 protocol is a Phase 2 multicenter nonrandomized open in elderly patients with multiple myeloma at diagnosis. Study primary objectives are in the first step to determine Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Carfilzomib Weekly based on definition of Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and in the second step to expanded cohort, to determine the VGPR (Very Good Partial Response) + CR (Complete Response) rate of Carfilzomib Weekly at the MTD in combination with Melphalan Prednisone at the end of the 9 induction cycles.
