Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether acupuncture can be effective for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in lymphoma or multiple myeloma patients.
RATIONALE: Placing a tumor antigen chimeric receptor that has been created in the laboratory into patient autologous or donor-derived T cells may make the body build immune response to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is to study genetically engineered lymphocyte therapy in treating patients with CD138 positive multiple myeloma that is relapsed (after stem cell transplantation or intensive chemotherapy) or refractory to further chemotherapy.
A multicenter, double arms, prospective randomized controlled phase 4 study. Approximately 50 previously untreated subjects with multiple myeloma will be enrolled. The study will consist of 6 phases, screening, treatment and follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to see whether 89Zr-bevacizumab PET scanning is feasible in relapsing multiple myeloma patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of all approved multiple myeloma (MM) therapies in the newly-diagnosed (NDMM) and the relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) settings in real-world clinical practice.
Whole body MRI with diffusion weighted imaging is a useful imaging tool - staging and diagnosis - therapy monitoring All patients will be scanned before and during treatment. The findings on diffusion weighted imaging will be correlated to the golden standard (computer tomography and MRI (T1 and STIR)).
To determine the maximum tolerated dose of, and response to, PRLX 93936 as treatment for patients with relapsed or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
This is an open Label, Phase I/II, multicenter study. In the first phase it defines the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Bendamustine (B) given in combination with Lenalidomide (L) and low-dose Dexamethasone (d) and in the second phase it evaluates the antitumour activity of Bendamustine, Lenalidomide and Low-dose Dexamethasone (BdL) given in combination, in relapsed multiple myeloma patients.
The study will investigate the effects of adding carfilzomib to the combination of pomalidomide and dexamethasone in sequential dose escalation cohorts in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. This portion of the study is complete. This study will also investigate the effects of adding daratumumab to the combination of carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone.
Multiple myeloma is an incurable bone marrow cancer characterized by an abnormal expansion of plasma cells that secretes monoclonal immunoglobulin. Over the years, the molecular and genetic heterogeneity of the disease have been dissected. With the maturation of technologies, the time is ripe now to apply genomics to diagnose, classify, risk-stratify and prognosticate myeloma in the clinical setting and use this information to guide current treatment. The investigators hypothesize that the use of gene expression profiling as a single test will be more economical, efficient and accurate compared to the current standard panel of tests done at diagnosis. The investigators also hypothesize that the investigator can use predictive markers to identify prospectively patients who will respond to Velcade and that with more effective trebasedonatment, ability to measure depth of response beyond conventional complete response become important since more patients are achieving conventionally determined complete response. Using a cohort of patients treated on a standard treatment protocol based on Velcade-based induction treatment followed by consolidation and maintenance treatment, the investigators will study specifically the feasibility and accuracy of gene expression diagnostics, the predictive power of the investigators predefined predictive markers and the clinical utility of minimal residual disease measurement in myeloma. The results of the investigators study will allow us to improve the diagnosis, and prognostication of MM patients 1. The investigators hypothesized that this will speed up diagnosis, provide comprehensive information for the classification and risk stratification of MM patients and can completely replace the current FISH assay and may be cheaper. 2. The investigators hypothesized that TRAF3 deletion or mutation and MYC activation will identify patients that will have a significantly better response to Velcade. 3. Modern treatment induced deeper response. More sensitive method of disease detection will allow us to know the fully extent of response to these treatment
