Filter by:In Multiple Myeloma, an adult hematological malignancy, mainly located in the Bone Marrow (BM), dramatic recent progresses have been observed, thanks to new agents (proteasome inhibitors and IMIDs). However, at time of first relapse, high-dose therapy followed by Stem Cell Rescue (SCR) is frequently mandatory as a consolidation in minimal residual disease, to healthy patients under 65 yo, combining Melphalan (MPH) and/or Total Body Irradiation. Modern irradiation modalities are now available by the use of HI-ART Tomotherapy system to realize a Total Bone Marrow Irradiation (TBMI), in order both to limit the dose administered to Organ at Risk (lungs, oral cavity) and to focus efficacy on BM. In this phase-1 study, the conditioning regimen before SCR will combine a fixed high-dose MPH (140 mg/m²) and a dose escalated TBMI, so as to define its Maximal Tolerated Dose (MTD) and the Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT). An extended cohort will further in a phase-2 setting.
The Phase 1 primary objectives of this study were to assess the safety profile, characterize pharmacokinetics (PK) and determine the dosing schedule, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD) of ABT-199 (venetoclax) when administered in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. This study also assessed the safety profile and PK of venetoclax in combination with dexamethasone in participants with t(11;14)-positive multiple myeloma. The Phase 2 primary objective was to further evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) and very good partial response or better rate (VGPR+) in participants with t(11;14)-positive multiple myeloma.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety profile, characterize pharmacokinetics (PK) and determine the dosing schedule, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and the recommended phase two dose (RPTD) of ABT-199 when administered in subjects with relapsed /refactory multiple myeloma who are receiving bortezomib and dexamethasone as their standard therapy.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well pomalidomide and dexamethasone work compared to lenalidomide and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or did not respond to previous treatment with lenalidomide (refractory). Pomalidomide and lenalidomide may help the immune system kill cancer cells and may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. 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. Dexamethasone may also help pomalidomide and lenalidomide work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drugs. It is not yet known whether pomalidomide and dexamethasone or lenalidomide and dexamethasone are effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if minocycline can help reduce the symptoms reported by patients with MM who receive therapy with lenalidomide. Minocycline is an antibiotic and has been shown to interrupt pro-inflammatory cytokine production, which may help to reduce multiple symptoms.
This is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, open label, dose-escalation, nonrandomized study to evaluate the safety, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of a 60-minute infusion of carfilzomib for patients with progressive multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to determinate the efficacy and safety of the 3-drug induction treatment (RVD; lenalidomide plus bortezomib plus dexamethasone)followed by randomized autologous stem cell mobilization, autologous stem cell transplantation and lenalidomide maintenance. Primary endpoint is the immunophenotypic remission rate.During the randomized mobilization phase two active comparator arms Cyclophosphamide (CY)2g/m2 + Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor(G-CSF) vrs G-CSF will be compared regarding efficacy, costs and safety.
This randomized phase II trial studies glutamine in preventing peripheral neuropathy in patients with multiple myeloma who are receiving bortezomib. Glutamine may help prevent peripheral neuropathy in patients receiving chemotherapy
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the effectiveness of an investigational combination of drugs. The purpose is to learn whether the combination of drugs works in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that the combination of drugs is still being studied. It also means that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. Examples of what they want to learn about are the safest dose to use, the side effects it may cause, and if the combination of drugs works for treating different types of cancer.
Whole body MRI with diffusion weighted imaging is a useful imaging tool - staging and diagnosis - therapy monitoring All patients will be scanned before and during treatment. The findings on diffusion weighted imaging will be correlated to the golden standard (computer tomography and MRI (T1 and STIR)).
