Filter by:The purpose of this study is to provide continued access to ixazomib and/or lenalidomide to participants who are continuing to have clinical benefit and to continue collecting relevant safety data to monitor safety in participants with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) who are not eligible for stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this study is to determine the antitumor efficacy and safety of bendamustine (SyB L-0501: 90 mg/m^2/day) for a maximum of 6 cycles (1 cycle: intravenous administration for 2 consecutive days and 26-day observation period) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
This phase II trial investigates whether patients greater than or equal to 65 years of age diagnosed with myeloma or another plasma cell malignancy will have better outcomes with transplant followed by maintenance therapy, as primarily measured by progression-free survival, versus non-transplant approaches.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of carfilzomib when given together with melphalan and to see how well they work in treating patients with multiple myeloma before stem cell transplant. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving carfilzomib together with melphalan may kill more cancer cells.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the single-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of ixazomib (MLN9708) in cancer participants with either normal renal function or severe renal impairment (RI), including participants with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Bone disease in multiple myeloma (MM) is routinely assessed by skeletal X-ray (XR) and magnetic resonance of the spine (S-MRI). Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) is a functional MRI that detects water diffusion through cells. This prospective phase II study compared whole-body DW-MRI with XR and S-MRI for the assessment of MM bone lesions. METHODS. Thirty-six consecutive symptomatic patients at diagnosis or at relapse performed XR, S-MRI, whole-body MRI, and whole-body DW-MRI before treatment, after treatment, and 6 months after treatment. A substudy evaluated 12 asymptomatic patients at diagnosis, after 6 and 12 months. Radiology exams were independently read by 3 experienced radiologists, and the techniques were compared by the count of segments with focal lesions (FL) (>=5mm).
In multiple myeloma "cancer stem" cells can be defined and quantified with flow cytometry. More, these cells can be related to treatment response.
The primary objective was to compare the progression-free survival of transplant ineligible patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who were treated with carfilzomib, melphalan and prednisone (CMP) or with Velcade® (bortezomib), melphalan and prednisone (VMP).
This study will establich the feasibility of weight lifting exercise among patients with multiple myeloma, determine if weight lifting exercise increases lean body mass among patients with multiple myeloma and obtain further preliminary data on toxicity and pharmacokinetics of high-dose melphalan.
The purpose of this post marketing study is to determine the plasma concentration of bortezomib (unchanged drug) to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK - the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) properties in the Taiwanese population. It will also provide expanded access (expanded access, sometimes called "compassionate use," is the use of an investigational drug outside of a clinical trial to treat a participant with a serious or immediately life-threatening disease or condition who has no comparable or satisfactory alternative treatment options) to bortezomib for the same group of participants with multiple myeloma (cancer of the types of cells normally found in bone marrow).
