Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether doxorubicin HCL liposome injection, bortezomib, and Dexamethasone in combination, are effective in previously untreated multiple myeloma patients. Bortezomib inhibits the function of proteasomes, a novel mechanism of action.
The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and tolerability of dasatinib when given in combination with lenalidomide and a low dose dexamethasone for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
The study objectives are to investigate the toxicity and the BUMEL response rate; in patients who reach the CR after autotransplantation, investigate if negativization of IF, influences in disease evolution; in patients in PR after autotransplantation, analyze if the second intensive procedure is capable of increasing the response rate and increasing the survival so that patients who reached the CR with the first transplantation; Patients with MM primarily resistant to the chemotherapy, investigate the efficacy of a double transplantation; patients submitted to double transplantation, control the efficacy of the second transplantation in front of allogenic transplantation.
RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as CC-4047, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Dexamethasone and CC-4047 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Giving CC-4047 together with dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving CC-4047 together with dexamethasone works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma or amyloidosis.
This is a Phase 1/2 study evaluating the safety and anti-tumor activity of PD 0332991 in combination with Velcade® [bortezomib] and dexamethasone in patients who have received at least one previous treatment for multiple myeloma.
CC-5013-MM-017 is a Phase I, multicenter study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety profile, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of lenalidomide with and without dexamethasone in Japanese subjects with previously treated MM. The study will consist of two cohorts: 1) Monotherapy "Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Determination" Cohort; and 2) "Combination Treatment" Cohort.
Development of new treatments for diseases such as multiple myeloma is a focus for research. The research being conducted is on treatment called Anti-KIR (1-7F9), which activates the body's own cells to kill tumor cells. This is different from many other treatments where chemicals are given to kill tumor cells. The purpose of the study is to determine a safe dose of Anti-KIR (1-7F9) to administer in humans and to gain information about its effectiveness in the treatment of multiple myeloma.
RATIONALE: Antibodies, such as human immune globulin, can block the growth of abnormal cells in different ways. Some block the ability of abnormal cells to grow and spread. Others find abnormal cells and help kill them or carry cell-killing substances to them. Giving human immune globulin may be effective in treating patients with primary amyloidosis that is causing heart dysfunction. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of human immune globulin and to see how well it works in treating patients with primary amyloidosis that is causing heart dysfunction.
This is a phase 3, open label trial for patients with multiple myeloma in first relapse. Trial will compare tanespimycin (KOS-953), in combination with a fixed dose of bortezomib versus bortezomib alone.
To determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose limiting toxicity of thymoglobulin in multiple myeloma patients. To determine the overall response rate (CR+PR) of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma treated with Thymoglobulin. To determine the time to response, duration of response, and time to progression and overall survival of patients treated with Thymoglobulin. To determine the safety and tolerability of Thymoglobulin in these patients. To assess the changes in lymphocyte apoptosis and apoptotic signaling in treated patients.
