Filter by:RATIONALE: Lenalidomide and dexamethasone may stop the growth of multiple myeloma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well lenalidomide works with or without dexamethasone in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
Allogeneic Non-Myeloablative Stem Cell Transplantation Using Fludarabine and Melphalan Conditioning Regimen for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Multiple Myeloma
The purpose of this study is to compare the amount of drug that gets into the bloodstream between different tablets taken by mouth and an injection under the skin.
The investigators major aim is to determine whether there is a difference in the retention of zoledronic acid in multiple myeloma patients, compared to patients with breast cancer metastasis to bone. In addition the investigators wish to analyze if the retention of zoledronic acid is correlated to the extent of bone resorption/formation, and if there is a tendency to changes in retention with sequential treatment.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety/tolerability and determine the Japanese recommended dose (RD) of bortezomib administered as a once-daily intravenous bolus twice weekly for 2 consecutive weeks(Days 1, 4, 8, and 11) followed by a 10-day rest period (Days 12 to 21) in Japanese patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy agent with known activity in myeloma. The new regimen that we will test in this study is called CVDD and contains Cyclophosphamide with Bortezomib (VELCADE), Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (DOXIL®, PLD), and Dexamethasone (VDD). The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of another type of chemotherapy agent, Cyclophosphamide, to the regimen VDD (CVDD) is well tolerated and improves response rates in myeloma. We will also find the highest safe dose of the study drugs taken together that a patient can tolerate, and how long it takes for multiple myeloma patients to respond after they have taken the study drugs and how long the response lasts.
RATIONALE: Providing information that is tailored to answer patients' questions about clinical trials may help patients with cancer decide to enroll in a clinical trial. It is not known whether providing personalized information is more effective than basic information in helping patients make decisions about clinical trials. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying personalized information to see how well it works compared with basic information in helping patients make decisions about participating in a clinical trial.
Multi-center, randomized, multiple-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ACE-011 in patients with osteolytic lesions of multiple myeloma.
RATIONALE: 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. Panobinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving melphalan together with panobinostat may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of melphalan when given together with panobinostat in treating patients with recurrent multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combination of elotuzumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed multiple myeloma.
