Filter by:Development of new treatments for diseases such as multiple myeloma is a focus for research. The research being conducted is on treatment called Anti-KIR, which activates the body's own cells to kill tumor cells. This is different from many other treatments where chemicals are given to kill tumor cells.The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical activity of two different dose regimens (0.2 mg/kg, leading to an intermittent saturation of NK receptors and 2mg/kg leading to a sustained saturation of NK receptors) of IPH2101 administered as a single agent in multiple myeloma patients who achieved, after the completion of any first line treatment, including conventional or high dose chemotherapies, a stable partial or very good partial response (PR or VGPR).
This is a compassionate use, open-label, IND study for the purpose of providing carfilzomib to patients with relapsed or resistant refractory multiple myeloma.
A prospective, randomized trial of autologous bone marrow transplantation compared with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in multiple myeloma.
Rationale: Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF and plerixafor helps stem cells move from the patient's bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. Purpose: This phase II trial is studying how well plerixafor works in patients with multiple myeloma previously treated with lenalidomide and planning to undergo autologous stem cell transplant.
For cancer cells to grow, they need to have nutrients supplied to them through blood vessels. The study drug, ACE-041, is designed to work by blocking the growth of those blood vessels and preventing cancer cells from growing. The purpose of this study is to establish safe dose levels of ACE-041 in patients with advanced solid tumors or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma following multiple dose administration. This study will also evaluate if ACE-041 has an effect on tumors.
RATIONALE: Giving low-dose total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of donor stem cell transplant after total-body irradiation and to see how well it works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic cancer or acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphocytic leukemia in complete remission.
Rationale: Giving bortezomib and low doses of chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant or peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving sirolimus and tacrolimus before and after transplant may stop this from happening. Purpose: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with multiple myeloma.
RATIONALE: Gathering information about how often methemoglobinemia occurs in young patients receiving dapsone for hematologic cancer or aplastic anemia may help doctors learn more about the disease and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at methemoglobinemia in young patients with hematologic cancer or aplastic anemia treated with dapsone.
The purpose of this study is to test IMGN901 in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone every 28 days.
Patients with stage-I multiple myeloma are treated with a vaccine made from their own immune cells (dendritic cells) and their own myeloma protein. Vaccinations are given on 5 occasions every 4 weeks. The aim is to induce an immune reaction against the malignant myeloma cells in order to slow down or cure the disease.
