Filter by:Myeloma patients who relapse after prior treatment with bortezomib and lenalidomide have survival of less than 1 year. Recently, a randomized study of Pomalidomide and dexamethasone conducted in compared with placebo and dexamethasone showed that pomalidomide can improve survival of this group of patients. As a result, pomalidomide is now approved by the FDA and EMA for use in patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma previously treated with bortezomib and lenalidomide. We have conducted a study using Pomalidomide plus Dexamethasone (PD) in Asian patients, which showed good efficacy and safety profile. More important for patients with suboptimal response to PD will achieve a clinically meaningful response with the addition of oral cyclophosphamide (PCD). In the United States, a small randomised phase 2 study of PCD versus PD showed that PCD have a higher response rates, produce deeper response and correspondingly longer progression free survival. There is till date no randomised phase 3 study between these regimens. This will be important to determine what is the best combination including pomalidomide for use in relapse myeloma.
Myeloma patients who relapse after prior treatment with bortezomib and lenalidomide have survival of less than 1 year. A number of new drugs have been approved for the treatment of relapse myeloma in the last couple of years, including, Elotuzumab, Panobinostat, Ixazomib, carfilzomib and Pomalidomide. However, most of these drugs either do not have good single agent activity or still belongs to the category of immunomodulatory drugs or proteasome inhibitors. Daratumumab is a monoclonal antibody against CD38 that is highly expressed on myeloma plasma cells. In phase ½ studies, it has impressive single agent activity in relapse and refractory myeloma with a very acceptable toxicity profile. This set the stage for combinations with daratumumab to increase efficacy and improve outcome of patients with myeloma. The use of immunomodulatory drugs, such as thalidomide and lenalidomide, has been shown to augment NK cell activity. NK cells are important mediator of antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity. We therefore hypothesize that the combination of Daratumumab with thalidomide may therefore improve the efficacy of the treatment. In this study, we will plan to perform a phase II trial using the Daratumumab, Thalidomide, Dexamethasone combination in 100 myeloma patients with relapse myeloma in Asia.
Guanfacine may preferentially reduce craving and improve cognitive control in women with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), compared to men. As these behaviors are related to relapse, the objectives of this study are to conduct a 10-week out-patient clinical trial to examine the effects of Guanfacine Extended Release (XR; 3mgs) versus placebo on drinking measures in women with AUD.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoblastic lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia, or double-hit lymphoma/leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as clofarabine, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate liposome, dexamethasone and bortezomib, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
It has been reported local anesthetics could inhibit tumor cell proliferation, metastasis and invasion ability，but it is still lack of clinical evidence. Our study aims to explore the effects of regional nerve block on cancer recurrence and the mechanism.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of palbociclib when given alone and in combination with sorafenib, decitabine, or dexamethasone in treating patients with leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or that does not respond to previous treatment (refractory). Palbociclib, sorafenib, and decitabine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving palbociclib alone and in combination with sorafenib, decitabine, or dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with recurrent or refractory leukemia.
INDICATION: Patients with recurrent and/or metastatic salivary glands carcinoma who have progressed during the 6 months period before entering the study and who are eligible for nivolumab monotherapy.
This pilot phase II trial studies how well high dose cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil work in preventing graft versus host disease in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing myeloablative or reduced intensity donor stem cell transplant. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft versus host disease). Giving high dose cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of 211^astatine(At)-BC8-B10 before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or mixed-phenotype acute leukemia. Radioactive substances, such as astatine-211, linked to monoclonal antibodies, such as BC8, can bind to cancer cells and give off radiation which may help kill cancer cells and have less of an effect on healthy cells before donor stem cell transplant.
This is a single-arm, non-randomized study of re-irradiation of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG)
