Filter by:This randomized phase II trial compares how well adding XMO2 Filgrastim (Granix) to melphalan before a stem cell transplant works in treating patients with multiple myeloma. Chemotherapy drugs, such as melphalan, are given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as XMO2 Filgrastim (Granix), may help multiple myeloma cells move from the patient's bone marrow to the blood where they may be more sensitive to treatment with melphalan. It is not yet known whether adding XMO2 Filgrastim (Granix) to melphalan before a stem cell transplant will work better than melphalan alone in treating multiple myeloma
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the investigational anticancer drug DCR-MYC. DCR-MYC is a novel synthetic double-stranded RNA in a stable lipid particle suspension that targets the oncogene MYC. MYC oncogene activation is important to the growth of many hematologic and solid tumor malignancies. In this study the Sponsor proposes to study DCR-MYC and its ability to inhibit MYC and thereby inhibit cancer cell growth.
The purpose of the study is to identify specific genes that are up- or downregulated in multiple myeloma patients who receive a microdose of either Melphalan (Alkeran®), Bortezomib (Velcade®) or Dexamethasone (Dexaven®). The study treatment constitutes 1% of the planned standard myeloma treatment and will be given two hours prior to standard treatment. Blood samples are taken at baseline, 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes for microarray analysis.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib in treating B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned or does not respond to treatment in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether it is safe for patients with HIV infection to receive ibrutinib while also taking anti-HIV drugs.
This is a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TG-0054 combined with G-CSF in mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells in patients with multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma or Hodgkin disease.
This is a Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate a new combination of drugs for the treatment of relapsed or refractory (drug-resistant) multiple myeloma. The drugs being studied are: - Pomalidomide (POMALYST®) is a drug that affects the immune system (an immunomodulatory drug) that has been approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of multiple myeloma. - Marizomib is an investigational drug being developed by Triphase that is being studied for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Investigational drugs are drugs that have not yet been approved by health authorities, such as the FDA, for general use but have been approved for use in specific clinical studies. Marizomib inhibits a cellular machine called the proteasome, which destroys unnecessary or damaged proteins. Other proteasome inhibitors have been shown to be effective in the treatment of multiple myeloma. - Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid drug that affects the immune system (an immunomodulatory drug) that has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of multiple myeloma. This is the first study to evaluate the three-drug combination of pomalidomide (POM), marizomib (MRZ), and dexamethasone (LD-DEX) in humans. Pomalidomide, alone or in combination with dexamethasone, is approved by the FDA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The primary objective of this study is to determine the best drug dosing levels for this three-drug combination, including the highest safe doses and/or the recommended doses for future clinical studies of this drug combination. The secondary purposes of this study are to determine the safety of this drug combination and its effectiveness in treating relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The study will include examination of levels of all three drugs in the blood during various time points during treatment.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of wild-type reovirus when combined with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back following treatment (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Chemotherapy drugs, such as dexamethasone and carfilzomib, 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. A virus called wild-type reovirus may be able to kill cancer cells without damaging normal cells and seems to work best when given with chemotherapy. Giving wild-type reovirus with chemotherapy may be a more effective treatment than chemotherapy alone.
Study of Plitidepsin (Aplidin®) to determine the recommended dose (RD) of plitidepsin in Combination with Bortezomib and Dexamethasone in Patients with Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma.
This is a Phase I/II, open-label, multi-center, competitive enrollment and dose escalation study of ALT-803 in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
This study will compare the results of stem cell mobilization using drugs called filgrastim (Neupogen) and plerixafor with the results of stem cell mobilization using drugs called XM02 filgrastim (Granix) and plerixafor.
