This study will assess the antimyeloma effects of BHQ880A in patients with smoldering multiple myeloma with high risk of progression to active multiple myeloma. BHQ880 will be administered every 28 days in previously untreated patients. Disease assessments will be performed monthly and effects on bone metabolism will be assessed by measurement of serum and urine bone biomarkers, changes in BMD , and QCT with FEA. Additionally, the PK profile of BHQ880 as a single agent and following multiple doses will be obtained.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter study comparing two treatment regimens for subjects with multiple myeloma who have received all available approved treatment options and may therefore be considered candidates for palliative care.
This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of panobinostat and carfilzomib in treating participants with multiple myeloma that has come back or that isn't responding to treatment. Carfilzomib keeps cancer cells from repairing themselves. If the cancer cells cannot repair themselves, they may die. Panobinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving panobinostat and carfilzomib may work better in treating participants with multiple myeloma.
This multicenter, prospective, randomized trial was designed to evaluate the role of thalidomide with or without dexamethasone as a maintenance therapy for multiple myeloma patients after a single autologous stem cell transplantation.
The first step of this protocol called step pre-treatment study the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of a tracer dose of radiolabeled antibody. The second step called step therapy study the toxicity and antitumor effects of antibody B-B4 coupled with increasing doses of iodine 131. At least 17 patients will be included for an estimated duration of 2 years to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose limiting toxicity. The immediate side effects, medium and long terms will be analyzed. After determining the toxic dose limit, patients will be treated at the maximum tolerated dose, for a total of 15 patients at this level, which will measure the objective tumor response to treatment. These patients will be followed for 1 year after injection therapy. ÉcouterLire phonétiquement
The purpose of this investigation is to establish that hematopoetic stem cells collected on a new centrifugal blood separator, CaridianBCT's Spectra Optia Apheresis System, are able to reconstitute the hematopoetic systems of patients treated with myeloablative therapy, equivalent to hematopoetic cells harvested on the predicate COBE® Spectra platform.
Eltrombopag may improve the cell collection available for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant(ASCT). The overall goal is to determine if adding Eltrombopag to the standard ASCT will increase the number of blood cells collected and reduce the number of times blood needs to be collected. This study will also determine the highest dose of Eltrombopag that can be used without causing serious side effects.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of bortezomib on myeloma-related bone disease, analyzing bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with Multiple Myeloma (MMY) who have received high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation for primary treatment of MMY (single- or double-transplant). Eligible patients will be randomized (study treatment assigned by chance like flipping a coin) to either bortezomib or observation alone. Patients in the bortezomib arm will receive treatment of bortezomib for a total of 4 cycles. All subjects will be followed for a total of 24 months after randomization.
The goal of this clinical research study is to see if Minocin® (minocycline) can help to control nerve damage that causes numbness and tingling in the hands and feet (neuropathy) in patients receiving thalidomide and/or bortezomib.
