Filter by:The purpose of this study is to monitor such factors as a past history, a previous history of drug use, the degree of response to initial treatment, the frequency of previous therapies, age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, which is used by doctors and researchers to assess how a patient's disease is progressing, assess how the disease affects the daily living abilities of the patient, and determine appropriate treatment and prognosis, before the bortezomib re-treatment, the concomitant drugs that are used for re-treatment and the pattern of treatment in patients with multiple myeloma who were re-treated with injectable bortezomib.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and to determine the maximum tolerated dose of carfilzomib + lenalidomide in combination with dexamethasone in newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma patients who have not received treatment.
This phase II trial studies how well donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Cyclophosphamide when added to tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil is safe and effective in preventing severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in most patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing transplantation of bone marrow from half-matched (haploidentical) donors. This approach has extended the transplant option to patients who do not have matched related or unrelated donors, especially for patients from ethnic minority groups. The graft contains cells of the donor's immune system which potentially can recognize and destroy the patient's cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Rejection of the donor's cells by the patient's own immune system is prevented by giving low doses of chemotherapy (fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide) and total-body irradiation before transplant. Patients can experience low blood cell counts after transplant. Using stem cells and immune cells collected from the donor's circulating blood may result in quicker recovery of blood counts and may be more effective in treating the patient's disease than using bone marrow.
The purpose of this study is to measure the markers related to bone metabolism before and after the use of bortezomib injection in patients with multiple myeloma and to evaluate the effect bortezomib injection has on bone disease.
This is a first in human study which will assess the safety and tolerability of a monoclonal antibody against ICAM-1 in patients with Multiple Myeloma. The tumour response rate will also be measured.
The primary objective for part 1 of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CEP-18770 in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The primary objective for part 2 is to evaluate the antitumor activity of CEP-18770 in patients treated at the MTD.
Panobinostat (LBH589) is a highly potent pan-deacetylase inhibitor (pan-DACi), inclusive of HDAC6, which disrupts aggresome function, promotes accumulation of cytotoxic misfolded protein aggregates and triggers myeloma cell death. Combination of pan-DAC and protease inhibition by co-treatment with panobinostat (PAN) and bortezomib (BTZ) has demonstrated synergistic cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo in pre-clinical experiments. Furthermore, clinical experience in advanced multiple myeloma (MM) patients treated by oral panobinostat and i.v bortezomib ± dexamethasone showed very encouraging results for efficacy and manageable toxicity profile. Given the medical need for improved treatment strategies for patients with previously treated and relapsed MM, the purpose of this prospective, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group Phase III study is to compare the results in progression-free survival of 2 combination therapies, panobinostat with bortezomib and dexamethasone or placebo with bortezomib and dexamethasone, in patients with previously treated MM whose disease has recurred or progressed.
This observational study will observe the degree of the quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma before and after bortezomib administration by using EORTC-QLQ C30 (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core30) and EQ-5D (EuroQol-5 Dimensions). Both tools are validated research instruments used to measure the quality of life in cancer patients and consequently will provide fundamental data regarding the quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma by analyzing factors that affect the quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of LEN/low-dose DEX and continuous low-dose CY administered orally compared to LEN in combination with low-dose DEX and single CY doses IV in patients with relapsed MM.
A phase II study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and hematopoietic stem cell mobilization of TG-0054 in patients with multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma or Hodgkin disease.
