Filter by:This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of MFGR1877S in patients with relapsed or refractory t(4;14)-positive multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of TXA127 in accelerating the time it takes for patients to recover their platelet counts following a Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell transplant.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose and pharmacokinetics of MLN0128 in patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma or Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as busulfan and fludarabine phosphate, before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving methotrexate, tacrolimus, and antithymocyte globulin before and after the transplant may stop this from happening. Once the donated stem cells begin working, the patient's immune system may see the remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them (called graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's white blood cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) may boost this effect. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with relapsed hematologic malignancies or secondary myelodysplasia previously treated with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant .
This Phase II clinical trial was designed for patients with hematologic malignancies in need of donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant, and have no HLA matched donor. Therefore It will test the efficacy of combining sirolimus, tacrolimus, antithymocyte globulin, and rituximab in preventing graft versus host disease in transplants from HLA Haploidentical and partially mismatched donors.
Clinically demonstrated efficacy of Melphalan and Prednisone in MM subjects as well as the confirmed inhibitory effect of dasatinib on several tyrosine kinase receptors and pathways implicated in the pathophysiology of MM. Additionally, as a SRC inhibitor, dasatinib plays an important role on bone metabolism through inhibition of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption in vitro. Dasatinib could, thus, be beneficial on bone density of patients on study, through blockage of osteolysis and control of bone lesions.
The purpose of this trial is to find out the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib (VELCADE) in combination with pralatrexate in patients with previously treated multiple myeloma, AL amyloid and Waldenstroem's macroglobulinemia.
In this study, the investigators will analyze the long-term outcomes of remission and survival, and identify those with primary resistant disease as more likely to benefit from CTD (thalidomide, cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone) and early intensification of Vel-CD (bortezomib and CD) as induction chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation for the patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
The investigators' objective is to assess the efficacy of the combined treatment with enalapril and carvedilol in the prevention of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with hematological malignancies submitted to intensive chemotherapy with potential cardiotoxicity. The hypothesis is that these drugs administered during chemotherapy may prevent left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving bendamustine hydrochloride, etoposide, dexamethasone, and filgrastim together for peripheral stem cell mobilization works in treating patients with refractory or recurrent lymphoma or multiple myeloma. Giving chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, etoposide, and dexamethasone, before a peripheral stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim, and certain chemotherapy drugs helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored
