Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate conversion rate to minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity following the addition of daratumumab to lenalidomide relative to lenalidomide alone, when administered as maintenance treatment to anti-cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) treatment naive participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are MRD positive as determined by next generation sequencing (NGS) at screening, following high-dose therapy (HDT) and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).
This protocol is a phase II multicenter, randomized, open label study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of daratumumab combined with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (Dara-VCd) versus the association of bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone (VTd) as pre transplant induction and post transplant consolidation, followed by maintenance with ixazomib alone or in combination with daratumumab, in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation. Patients enrolled in the Dara-VCd arm will receive: 4 cycles of daratumumab-bortezomib-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone induction, followed by transplantation and 2 cycles of daratumumab-bortezomib-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone consolidation. The choice of cyclophosphamide in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone is suggested by the better safety profile of cyclophosphamide, in comparison with thalidomide and the efficacy of the alkylator agent, when combined with bortezomib. Once-weekly bortezomib seems to be equally effective and better tolerated than the standard twice weekly schedule. The outcomes and response rate did not appear to be affected by the bortezomib dosing schedule. Patients enrolled in the VTd arm will receive: 4 cycles of bortezomib-thalidomide-dexamethasone induction, followed by autologous transplantation and 2 cycles of bortezomib-thalidomide dexamethasone as consolidation. The VTd drug association is the current standard first line induction therapy for multiple myeloma patients who are eligible to stem cell transplantation. At the end of consolidation phase patients with at least a partial response (≥ PR) will be rerandomized (assigned by chance) to one of 2 treatment groups to receive maintenance treatment with ixazomib alone or in combination with daratumumab. Patients will receive treatment until any sign of progression or intolerance, up to 24 months.
Multiple myeloma (MM) survival has been improved during the last decade owing to new treatments. Hence, it has become a matter of importance to precisely define the depth of MM response to therapy. 18F-FDG PET/CT (FDG-PET) has proved to be superior to X-rays for the initial staging of MM. It is now recommended by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) during the initial work-up and for response evaluation, as it is superior to MRI in that setting. However, sensitivity of FDG-PET remains inferior to that of MRI for the initial staging of MM. Indeed, FDG-PET remains limited for the evaluation of skull lesions (due to brain physiological background) or spine infiltrative disease. Therefore, there is a need for a new diagnostic tool which could have equivalent sensitivity to that of MRI at diagnosis, and could bring better baseline information than FDG PET for therapy evaluation. Ultimately, this tool would be a one-stop-shop exam for diagnosis and patient follow-up during treatment. 18F-Choline, a tracer of phospholipids of cell membrane, has shown potential as compared to 18F-FDG in a recent retrospective study, with about 70% more lesions detected in MM patients with suspected relapsing disease. Following that perspective, our main objective is to compare prospectively, in a cohort of newly diagnosed MM, the detection rate of MM lesions by 18F-Choline PET/CT (FCH-PET) vs. FDG-PET. Our secondary objectives will be to compare the performance of both PET modalities as regard to MRI as well as the detection rate of extra-medullary lesions. Patients with MM will proceed to FCH-PET, FDG-PET and then Whole-Body MRI within 3 weeks.
This phase Ib trial determines if samples from a patient's cancer can be tested to find combinations of drugs that provide clinical benefit for the kind of cancer the patient has. This study is also being done to understand why cancer drugs can stop working and how different cancers in different people respond to different types of therapy.
This is a non-randomized, open label, phase I/II, dose-escalation study, involving a single injection of Temferon, an investigational advanced therapy consisting of autologous CD34+-enriched hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells exposed to transduction with a lentiviral vector driving myeloid-specific interferon-ɑ2 expression, which will be administered to up to 9 patients affected by multiple myeloma in early relapse after intensive front line treatment.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy (rate of very good partial response [VGPR] or better as best response as defined by the International Myeloma Working Group [IMWG] criteria) of daratumumab subcutaneous (Dara-SC) in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) with the efficacy of Kd in participants with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma who were previously exposed to daratumumab to evaluate daratumumab retreatment.
This trial studies financial difficulty in participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and multiple myeloma. Assessment of financial difficulty may help to better understand the financial impact of cancer and come up with ways to help participants avoid financial problems during treatment.
This trial studies how well cryocompression therapy works in reducing bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with multiple myeloma. Peripheral neuropathy (nerve pain or tingling in hands or feet) is a common side effect of chemotherapy such as bortezomib that affects the quality of life and amount of chemotherapy that can be given to many cancer patients. Cryocompression is a treatment where a glove and a boot are worn to cool down the skin. This cooling treatment is safe and does not interfere with chemotherapy treatment. Daily cryocompression therapy may reduce neuropathy caused by bortezomib chemotherapy.
This trial is a multi-center, single-arm phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TJ202 combined with dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who received at least 2 prior lines of treatment.
Compare efficacy of 56 mg/m2 carfilzomib administered once-weekly in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (KRd 56 mg/m2) to 27 mg/m2 carfilzomib administered twice-weekly in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (KRd 27 mg/m2) in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.
