Filter by:CC-5013-MM-017 is a Phase I, multicenter study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety profile, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of lenalidomide with and without dexamethasone in Japanese subjects with previously treated MM. The study will consist of two cohorts: 1) Monotherapy "Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Determination" Cohort; and 2) "Combination Treatment" Cohort.
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 (1-7F9), 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 purpose of the study is to determine a safe dose of Anti-KIR (1-7F9) to administer in humans and to gain information about its effectiveness in the treatment of multiple myeloma.
To compare the efficacy of the combination of lenalidomide with low-dose melphalan versus high-dose melphalan in newly diagnosed, symptomatic MM patients.
This research study is a Phase I/II clinical trial. It is done to determine the best doses that the investigational drug (P276-00) can be used safely. "Investigational" means that the drug is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more information about it such as; the safest dose to use, the side effects it may cause and if it is effective for treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. A majority of multiple myeloma patients overexpress a protein that plays a role in regulating the body's cell cycle called Cyclin D1. The study drug P276-00 is a Cyclin D1 inhibitor under investigation in the treatment of solid tumors. The researchers therefore believe that Cyclin D1 should be studied as a therapeutic target in myeloma. In this research study, we are looking for the highest dose of P276-00 that can be given safely and to see how well it works
RATIONALE: Antibodies, such as human immune globulin, can block the growth of abnormal cells in different ways. Some block the ability of abnormal cells to grow and spread. Others find abnormal cells and help kill them or carry cell-killing substances to them. Giving human immune globulin may be effective in treating patients with primary amyloidosis that is causing heart dysfunction. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of human immune globulin and to see how well it works in treating patients with primary amyloidosis that is causing heart dysfunction.
The study is evaluating whether risk-stratification by the means of a chromosomal aberration provides a tool to discriminate between standard and high risk. Risk-adapted therapy is based on allogeneic stem-cell transplantation for high-risk subjects instead of a second autograft in patients with deletion of chromosome 13 who have an HLA-identical stem cell donor available.
This is a phase 3, open label trial for patients with multiple myeloma in first relapse. Trial will compare tanespimycin (KOS-953), in combination with a fixed dose of bortezomib versus bortezomib alone.
To determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose limiting toxicity of thymoglobulin in multiple myeloma patients. To determine the overall response rate (CR+PR) of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma treated with Thymoglobulin. To determine the time to response, duration of response, and time to progression and overall survival of patients treated with Thymoglobulin. To determine the safety and tolerability of Thymoglobulin in these patients. To assess the changes in lymphocyte apoptosis and apoptotic signaling in treated patients.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer or abnormal cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving tacrolimus, methotrexate, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, and sirolimus before and after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well donor peripheral stem cell transplant works in treating patients with advanced hematologic cancer or other disorders.
The purpose of this study to explore the combination of Revlimid®, oral cyclophosphamide and prednisone (RCP) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
