Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of filanesib when given together with carfilzomib in treating patients with multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia that has returned or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as filanesib, 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. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving filanesib together with carfilzomib may be a better treatment for multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate tolerability of the combination therapy of JNS002 and bortezomib in Japanese bortezomib-naive patients with multiple myeloma who have ever received at least 1 line of chemotherapy.
Based the proven efficacy and the ability to induce rapid response of various combinations of bortezomib including PAD combination in refractory and newly diagnosed patients with Multiple Myeloma, the investigators intend to investigate the efficacy of 2 cycles of PAD combination (Ps-341/Bortezomib, Adriamycin, and Dexamethasone) and to examine the feasibility of harvesting G-CSF mobilized PBSC and performing early AHCT after 2 cycles of PAD.
This is a phase I/II multicenter, open label, nonrandomized study for patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM) who will receive treatment with carfilzomib in place of bortezomib using the same bortezomib-containing combination regimen to which a MM patient has progressed while receiving. This study will enroll 45 patients total. These patients will be resistant to bortezomib as demonstrated by progressive disease while on bortezomib or have relapsed within 12 weeks of the last dose of bortezomib in a combination regimen. Patients will be sub-divided into 2 groups in this study, treatments containing (Group A) or not containing immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) (Group B). Thirty patient will be enrolled into Group A and 15 patients into Group B for a total of 45 patients. Patients must have received 4 doses of a minimum of 1.0 mg/m^2 of bortezomib in no more than 4 weeks per cycle. Patients must have received at least one cycle meeting this definition and have shown progressive disease to be considered eligible. Patients who have been refractory to or relapsed within 12 weeks of the last dose of bortezomib in their most recent bortezomib-containing regimen that does not include either thalidomide or lenalidomide are eligible regardless of when patients received that regimen, as long as they meet the above criteria. Carfilzomib will subsequently replace bortezomib using the patient's most recent bortezomib-containing regimen to which the patient progressed while receiving. Patients will be eligible if they progressed from bortezomib with an alkylating agent (melphalan or cyclophosphamide), an anthracycline (doxorubicin or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin) and/or a glucocorticosteroid (prednisone, dexamethasone or medrol)and IMiD (thalidomide or lenalidomide). The study will consist of a screening period, followed by up to eight open label treatment cycles, a final assessment to occur 28 days after the end of the last treatment cycle, a follow-up period and maintenance cycles of single agent carfilzomib. Patient who complete the combination treatment period without progressive disease will be eligible for maintenance therapy with single-agent carfilzomib. During maintenance therapy carfilzomib will be administered at the same dose given during the last cycle of combination treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine 1) the safety and tolerability of multiple intravenous doses of anti-CXCR4 (BMS-936564) as monotherapy and as combination, and 2) the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BMS-936564 in combination with Lenalidomide/Dexamethasone or Bortezomib/Dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
To assess if amrubicin is safe and useful for patients with multiple myeloma requiring additional treatment.
Study Phase: phase 1 and phase 2 Objective: Evaluation of the effect of lenalidomide, cyclophophamide and prednisone (REP) in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma previously treated with lenalidomide Study design: prospective, multicenter, non-randomized
The purpose of this study is to 1) evaluate the safety and tolerability of autologous genetically modified T cells transduced to express the high affinity NY-ESO-1c259 TCR in HLA-A2+ subjects and 2) measure the incidence of GVHD in patients following infusion of TCR modified autologous T cells.
The purpose of this study is to test a new drug called carfilzomib. It is a type of drug called a proteasome inhibitor. Proteasome breaks down proteins that are no longer useful to the cell. When the proteasome is turned off by a drug (like carfilzomib), useless proteins cannot be broken down. Instead the proteins build up and cause the cell to die. Myeloma cells make a lot of protein and are especially in need of a functional proteasome to survive. Carfilzomib is not approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration to treat myeloma. It is considered an experimental drug. Previous studies have shown that carfilzomib is safe to use. This study will look at what the effects, good and/or bad, carfilzomib has on myeloma.
The primary hypothesis of this research study is that patients in remission undergoing myeloablative haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) on the Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) 2 Step treatment regimen will have a disease-free survival (DFS) rate at 1 year that is the same or better than the historical DFS of patients with similar diagnoses and ages undergoing matched sibling HSCT. Based on a review of the literature a DFS rate of 50% or better at 1 year would meet the criterion for an effective alternative therapy. A DFS rate of 75% or better would imply superior efficacy of the TJU 2 Step approach over T-replete matched sibling HSCT.
