Filter by:This protocol is a national, multicenter, comparative, open-label, randomized trial comparing the progression free survival (PFS) of two pre-transplant conditioning regimens (BUMEL versus. MEL-200). A total of 460 patients will be enrolled in the study. Scheduled evaluations and study visits will take place during the pre-treatment, treatment and follow-up periods. The pre-treatment period includes the screening visit in which participants provide informed consent in writing in order to take part in the study. The patient is then assessed to determine his/her eligibility. The selection process will begin 21 days before the first dose of medication is administered (days -21 to 0). During the treatment period, eligible patients will be included in the study and given six cycles of induction treatment with bortezomib/ lenalidomide / dexamethasone (VRD-GEM). Each cycle will last 28 days, during which SC bortezomib will be administered on days 1, 4, 8 and 11, oral lenalidomide on days 1-21 of each cycle, and oral dexamethasone on days 1-4 and 9-12 of the cycle. After the first three induction cycles, and in the absence of progression or unacceptable toxicity, peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells will be mobilized and collected using G-CSF for later autologous transplantation. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio to receive conditioning treatment with MEL-200 versus BUMEL. Randomization will take place at the beginning of the study, once the screening is complete and the patient's eligibility verified. Three months after transplantation, patients will receive two cycles of consolidation treatment with VRD-GEM at the same doses administered during induction treatment. Once the treatment phase is complete, patients will begin the follow-up phase in which they will be visited every three months to evaluate disease progression and survival
This is a multicenter, randomized, open label study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of prolonged treatment with bortezomib twice monthly and dexamethasone after a salvage treatment containing bortezomib for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients.
The objective of this study is to describe the effect of optimized retreatment with bortezomib in combination with dexamethasone followed by prolonged therapy with bortezomib, versus standard retreatment with bortezomib in combination with dexamethasone on progression free survival (PFS).
The purpose of the study is to compare safety and efficacy of stem cell mobilization using G-CSF (filgrastim) alone vs. intermediate-dose cytosine arabinoside plus G-CSF in multiple myeloma patients.
This randomized phase II trial compares how well two different doses of carfilzomib work when given with dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement or has not responded to treatment. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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. Giving carfilzomib together with dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known whether a higher or lower dose of carfilzomib works better when given with dexamethasone.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and in vivo persistence and expansion of autologous and expansion of autologous, ex vivo expanded-natural killer(ENK) cells.
This study is an open label phase I/II trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of Cabozantinib for patients with relapsed or refractory myeloma.
This research study is being done to see if combining the investigational chemotherapy drug, MEDI-551 with the known anti-myeloma drugs, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone will reduce your myeloma cancer stem cells.
This research is being done to find out if altering the immune system by giving activated marrow infiltrating lymphocytes (MILs) can improve outcomes for multiple myeloma patients who receive a standard autologous stem cell transplant.
This is a multicentre; single arm study in subjects with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. The primary objectives of this study is to assess the effect of bortezomib combination therapy (PAD regimen) followed by ASCT on bone metabolites in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, as measured by ELISA methodology as previously described analyzing the change in biochemical bone marker compared with the baseline value: bone formation marker- bone alkaline phosphatase(bALP) and osteoblast inhibitor- Dickkopf-1(DKK-1）. The secondary objectives of this study are: 1. Subgroup analysis for the change from baseline in biochemical bone marker based on whether or not Bisphosphonate was used. 2. Assessment of other bone markers parameters: bone formation marker -carboxy terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP); bone resorption markers -carboxy terminal telopeptide region of type I collagen ( ICTP); osteoclast stimulators -osteoprotegerin(OPG), soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand(sRANKL); 3. To observe the effect of bortezomib on bone mineral density (BMD) as measured by repeated quantitative CT-scan; 4. The evaluation of Skeletal related events (SRE) and appearance of new bone lesions; 5. To determine progression free survival (PFS), 1 year survival, overall survival and safety profile following treatment with PAD and ASCT as first-line therapy.
