Filter by:The aim of this phase 2 study is to demonstrate that KIR-ligand mismatched haploBMT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide will improve progression free survival in poor risk multiple myeloma patients.
The study hypotheses is that the introduction of dose escalated thiotepa, in substitution to busulfan or melphalan, will reduce toxicity after allogeneic transplantation while improving disease eradication in patients with lymphoid malignancies not eligible for standard transplantation.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Lonquek which is a pegylated (long-acting) version of Filgrastim recombinant human G-CSF (G-CSF) in mobilizing sufficient number of stem cells for autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma.
To investigate the efficacy of the combination of Thalidomide and Huang-Lian-Jie-Du-Tang on the patients with multiple myeloma in maintain therapy.
In Part I of the study VS-6766 will be given twice weekly or three times per week in treatment cycles of 4 weeks to investigate a safe and tolerable dose of the drug. Once the optimal dosing schedule is defined, the following patients with BRAF, KRAS and/or NRAS mutations will be enrolled: 26 patients with solid tumours (Parts IIA & IIC) and 10 patients with Multiple Myeloma (Part IIB). Up to 44 patients with solid tumours containing BRAF, KRAS and/or NRAS mutations will take VS-6766 in combination with everolimus (Part IID). Of these, 20 patients will comprise the Part IID dose expansion and will all have KRAS-mutant lung cancer.
Bortezomib-based triple-drug combination has greatly improved the response rate of multiple myeloma patients. Bortezomib,doxorubicin,and dexamethasone (PAD) is commonly used in clinical practice.Recent studies have found that cyclophosphamide, bortezomib,and dexamethasone (CyBorD)seems better than PAD in efficacy. However, there is no randomized phase 3 trial comparing these two regimens in the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients.In this study, the investigators will compare the efficacy and safety of these two regimens using once-weekly subcutaneous injection of bortezomib.
Hypothesis: Free light chain (FLC) removal haemodialysis will increase the rate of renal recovery in patients with cast nephropathy, severe renal failure and de novo multiple myeloma. This study will evaluate patients with multiple myeloma and severe renal failure treated with KIDNEY Therapy (previously called SUPRA HFR) to remove free light chains.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Cyclophosphamide, Liposome doxorubicin and Dexamethasone（CDD) Plus Bortezomib might have effective in extramedullary plasmacytoma.
This study is for patients that have a cancer called Multiple Myeloma, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or smoldering myeloma (SM). MGUS and SM have tumor cells that possess nearly identical properties to the cancer cells seen in patients with multiple myeloma. The investigators would like to target proteins that are expressed by these cells using the patient's own immune cells known as T lymphocytes.This research study uses special immune system cells called tumor associated antigen (TAA)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), a new experimental therapy. The proteins that investigators are targeting in this study are called tumor associated antigens (TAAs). These are cell proteins that are specific to the cancer cell.They either do not show or show up in low quantities on normal human cells. In this study the investigators are targeting five common TAAs called NY-ESO-1, MAGEA4, PRAME, Survivin and SSX. On a different protocol, patients have been treated and so far this treatment has shown to be safe. Investigators now want to try this treatment in patients with multiple myeloma or if the investigators can arrest the progression of the patient's condition condition (described above) to multiple myeloma. These TAA-specific CTLs are an investigational product not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The purpose of this study is to find the largest safe dose of TAA-specific CTLs, to learn what the side effects are, and to see whether this therapy might help patients with multiple myeloma monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or smoldering myeloma (SM) .
Blood cancers occur when the molecules that control normal cell growth are damaged. Many of these changes can be detected by directly examining parts of the cancer or cells in blood. Several alterations that occur repeatedly in certain types of blood cancers have already been identified, and these discoveries have led to the development of new drugs that target those alterations. More remain to be discovered. Some of these abnormalities include alterations in genes. Genes are the part of cells that contain the instructions which tell the investigators bodies how to grow and work, and determine physical characteristics such as hair and eye color. Genes are composed of DNA letters that spell out these instructions. Studies of the DNA molecules that make up the genes are called "molecular" analyses. Molecular analyses are ways of reading the DNA letters to identify errors in genes that may contribute to an increased risk of cancer or to the behavior of the cancer cells. Some changes in genes occur only in cancer cells. Others occur in the genes that are passed from parent to child. This research study will examine both kinds of genes. The best way to find these genes is to study large numbers of people. The investigators expect that as many 1000 individuals will enroll in this study. This research study is trying to help doctors and scientists understand why cancer occurs and to develop ways to better treat and prevent it. To participate in this study the participant must have cancer now, had it in the past, or are at risk of developing cancer. The participant will not undergo tests or procedures that are not required as part of their routine clinical care. The investigators will ask the participant to provide an additional sample from tissue that is obtained for their clinical care including blood, bone marrow, or tissue sample. The investigators will also ask for a gentle scrape of the inside of their cheek, mouthwash or a skin sample to obtain their germline DNA
