This is a first-in-human study to evaluate the feasibility, safety and preliminary antitumor efficacy of autologous T cells genetically engineered with a novel B-cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA)-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and manufactured with a new process. CAR-T cells will be investigated as a single agent in multiple myeloma
The objectives of the proposed study are to develop and evaluate protocols for ethnic/racial minority-specific research using cancer registry data. In conjunction with the Cancer Registry of Greater California (CRGC), the investigators have developed procedures to identify, recruit, and survey ethnic/racial minority patients with MM. To pilot the study, the investigators aim initially to test the feasibility of this protocol by contacting 400 eligible patients (100 African Americans, 100 Latinos, 100 Asian American/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander-AANHPI and 100 non-Hispanic Whites as a comparison group) to conduct a pilot survey through which will ascertain etiological and survival-related factors for MM. Ultimately, the investigators hope the findings from this pilot will yield insight into the best practices for recruiting minorities with MM and serve as the basis for larger population-based studies of MM etiology and survival. The next phase of this study is to expand the study to all 3 California Cancer Registries, including the Greater Bay Area Cancer Registry and the Los Angeles Cancer Surveillance Program and Cancer Registry of Greater California. We will increase the sample size to recruit atleast 1000 participants per racial/ethnic group. We will also request to increase the scope of the study to also continue a survivorship cohort.
To assess the safety and efficacy of CARTBCMA ARI0002h in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who have received treatment with proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory drug and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.
Nowadays, more and more patients are receiving anticancer treatment by mouth and oral chemotherapy is a challenge for our health system as patients become autonomous and responsible for following their oral anti-cancer treatment at home. According to the French National Cancer Institute around 5.000 new cases of multiple myeloma (MM) are detected each year, and this figure is on the increase. It is more common in people aged over 70. The patterns of oral anticancer medication for multiple myeloma are complex and these patients do not always follow their treatment correctly. A clinical pharmaceutical consultation guide was designed to overcome this problem.Our hypothesis is that the guided consultation would minimize the rate of discrepancies observed compared with the usual, standard type of management. The main objective is therefore to evaluate the performance of this guided consultation (interventional group) in comparison with a control group (standard management) for patients with multiple myeloma on their first cure of oral anticancer medication.
This study will find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CYNK-001 which contain NK cells derived from human placental CD34+ cells and culture-expanded. CYNK-001 cells will be given post Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT). The safety of this treatment will be evaluated, and researchers will want to learn if NK cells will help in treating Multiple Myeloma.
Although physical activity (PA) is commonly used to manage symptoms and enhance quality of life (QOL) in cancer survivors, relatively little is known regarding the benefits in advanced multiple myeloma (MM). The primary aims of the Physical Activity in Advanced Cancer Treatment (PAACT) intervention were to examine (1) program feasibility and (2) potential impact on patient outcomes. It is hypothesized that an exercise intervention will be feasible and potentially impactful.
This is a single-center, non-randomized, phase 2 study in which patients will receive daratumumab (subcutaneous, SC) in combination with clarithromycin/pomalidomide/dexamethasone (D-ClaPd) until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity. This study will test the hypothesis that in patients with previous daratumumab exposure, combination therapy of clarithromycin/pomalidomide/dexamethasone with daratumumab SC (D-ClaPd) will yield higher Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) rates in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients than historical pomalidomide/dexamethasone treatment.
Multiple myeloma is the second most common haematological cancer with a cancer incidence of around 500 new cases in Austria per year . Novel treatment methods have significantly increased the cancer-specific survival rate in patients with multiple myeloma. For Austria, this means that 5- and 10-year survival rates rose from 32.1 to 46.4% and from 19.0 to 25.6% from the end of the 1980s to the end of the 2000s. Longer survival is associated with the need to maintain independence and quality of life in the longer term. In this context, regular physical training has seen a significant increase in the importance of cancer in recent years.The guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine still contain very general training recommendations for cancer patients. Either 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of intensive endurance training per week are recommended, supplemented by at least two units of strengthening training and stretching exercises for the large muscle groups. In a recent cross-sectional and pilot study with multiple myeloma patients that was carried out at the Clinic for Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation and Occupational Medicine at the Medical University of Vienna (EK 1725/2018), it was on the one hand identified that there was a discrepancy between these patients on the one hand has given actual and perceived risk of falling, and on the other hand it is concluded that training recommendations should be carried out separately in group and individual training according to the actual risk of falling and fracture. The present project is the follow-up to this cross-sectional investigation. The aim is to examine the feasibility and effects of a structured, physical training program carried out over a period of 12 weeks on physical performance, quality of life, body composition and the risk of falling. The effects of patients with increased risk in individual training sessions are compared to those of lower risk patients in group training sessions. Furthermore, the study patients will be able to bring training partners with them to their own training units if available and for their own security. They are evaluated separately according to qualitative criteria.
