Filter by:The objective of this study is to describe the effect of optimized retreatment with bortezomib in combination with dexamethasone followed by prolonged therapy with bortezomib, versus standard retreatment with bortezomib in combination with dexamethasone on progression free survival (PFS).
The purpose of the study is to compare safety and efficacy of stem cell mobilization using G-CSF (filgrastim) alone vs. intermediate-dose cytosine arabinoside plus G-CSF in multiple myeloma patients.
This randomized phase II trial compares how well two different doses of carfilzomib work when given with dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement or has not responded to treatment. 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, 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 carfilzomib together with dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known whether a higher or lower dose of carfilzomib works better when given with dexamethasone.
This pilot clinical trial studied how well desipramine hydrochloride and filgrastim worked for stem cell mobilization in participants with multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing stem cell transplant. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim, and other drugs, such as desipramine hydrochloride, helps stem cells move from the participant's bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored.
The study will explore escalating doses of melflufen in combination with dexamethasone in small groups of patients to find the maximum tolerated dose of melflufen. That dose will then be used to determine the efficacy and safety profile of melflufen in combination with dexamethasone in a larger group of patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether acupuncture can be effective for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in lymphoma or multiple myeloma patients.
This study will enroll patients with multiple myeloma who have received prior therapy for their disease but their disease has progressed or relapsed.
The purpose of the study is to look at subjects who receive Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone, and Elotuzumab and determine if they will have lower surface CS1 expression on malignant plasma cells at the time of progression than those who receive Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone without Elotuzumab
This study is being conducted to test the possibility that a combination of three drugs, pomalidomide and everolimus with dexamethasone, may improve patient responses when compared with use of either drug alone, with dexamethasone in refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma.
RATIONALE: Placing a tumor antigen chimeric receptor that has been created in the laboratory into patient autologous or donor-derived T cells may make the body build immune response to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is to study genetically engineered lymphocyte therapy in treating patients with CD138 positive multiple myeloma that is relapsed (after stem cell transplantation or intensive chemotherapy) or refractory to further chemotherapy.
