Filter by:Multicentric study, open, single arm, designed to evaluate the efficacy(response rate and response duration) and security of a sequential scheme of treatment with Bortezomib in combination with Melfalan and Prednisone (V-MP) (patients > 75 years) or Bortezomib and Adriamycine in combination with Melfalan and Prednisone (VAMP) (patients <= 75 years) follow by Thalidomide in combination with Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone (TaCyDex) in patients with refractary or relapse multiple myeloma.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn whether higher doses of stem cells can help to decrease the symptoms that occur after melphalan. Another goal of the study is to see how the dose of infused stem cells affects the levels of certain proteins in your blood. Researchers also want to learn how the dose of stem cells that you receive affects the quality of your life during the weeks after the transplant procedure.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors predict whether patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant will develop acute graft-versus-host disease. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying T cells to see how well they help in predicting acute graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ALXN6000 (samalizumab) in treating relapsing or refractory B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) or multiple myeloma (MM) and to study how samalizumab may help the immune system fight tumors that express CD200.
In multiple myeloma, combination chemotherapy with melphalan plus prednisone has been usedsince the 1960s and is regarded as the standard of care in very elderly patients. We assess whether the addition of thalidomide at 100 mg/day to this combination would improve survival.
This randomized phase III trial studies lenalidomide, dexamethasone, and bortezomib to see how well it works compared to dexamethasone and lenalidomide alone in treating patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. 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. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the cancer. It is not yet known whether lenalidomide and dexamethasone is more effective with or without bortezomib in treating multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this Phase I study of vorinostat in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) as estimated by the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) as estimated by the incidence of drug-related adverse events (AEs).
Intensification with autologous stem cell (ASCT) is currently the most effective treatment for subjects under 65 and the essential goal is to achieve complete response (CR) or very good partial response (VGPR= greater than 90% reduction of monoclonal component). However, only 50% of patients achieve this CR/VGPR even with tandem ASCT early in the course of disease. Optimization of the conditioning regimen could improve this CR/VGPR rate. The combinaison of Velcade and HD Melphalan has never been evaluated. However, at conventional doses, Velcade potentiates the antimyeloma effect of Melphalan without inducing any common toxicity. This study will be conducted in patients under the age of 65 with de novo multiple myeloma or in first relapse, with Salmon and Durie stage of III, II, I with one symptomatic bone lesion (radiological)and no contraindication to intensification. The primary objective will be to increase the CR/VGPR rate 3 months after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation conditioned by Velcade-Melphalan from 40% to 70%. With alpha=5% and bêta=10%, 61 patients will be included. Secondary objectives will be to assess the toxicity of the Velcade-Melphalan conditioning regimen, the progression-free survival and the overall survival after intensification. Response rates will be evaluated according to the response criteria defined by. Analysis will be performed on an intention-to-treat basis. After conventional induction therapy and PBSC collection, patients will be offered this new conditioning regimen. they will be free to refuse this regimen, in which case they will receive standard intensification therapy by Melphalan 200 mg/m² followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. Evaluation will occur at 3 months post intensification.
Observational study investigating prognostic factors in newly diagnosed and relapsed multiple myeloma patients by use of clinical data, biochemical markers (blood samples), cytogenetic markers and gene expression profiling (myeloma cells from fresh bone marrow samples). Enabling future genetic studies by establishing a biobank of bone marrow and peripheral blood samples.
The purpose of this study was to determine clinical efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib (INCB018424), a small molecule Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)-inhibitor, in patients with refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma.
