Filter by:This phase II trial studies side effects and how well bendamustine hydrochloride, bortezomib, and dexamethasone work in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving bendamustine hydrochloride with bortezomib and dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well lower doses of bortezomib, dexamethasone, and cyclophosphamide work in treating older patients with multiple myeloma. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving cyclophosphamide daily may kill more cancer cells. Giving bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone may be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma.
This clinical trial studies peripheral blood hemapoietic stem cell mobilization with the combination of bortezomib and G-CSF (filgrastim) in multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide after donor stem cell transplant and bortezomib in treating patients with high-risk multiple myeloma. Giving low doses of chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving a bortezomib at the time of transplant may stop this from happening. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving lenalidomide after donor stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma.
This phase II trial investigates whether patients greater than or equal to 65 years of age diagnosed with myeloma or another plasma cell malignancy will have better outcomes with transplant followed by maintenance therapy, as primarily measured by progression-free survival, versus non-transplant approaches.
This phase II trial studies how well carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone before and after stem cell transplant works in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from diving. Giving carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone before and after stem cell transplant may kill more cancer cells
This phase II trial studies how well carfilzomib and dexamethasone work in treating patients with multiple myeloma who previously underwent a stem cell transplant. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunosuppressive therapy, such as dexamethasone, may improve bone marrow function and increase blood cell counts. Giving carfilzomib together with dexamethasone may be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving bortezomib with or without combination chemotherapy works as consolidation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who have completed stem cell transplant. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone, and lenalidomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving bortezomib is more effective with or without combination chemotherapy in the post transplant setting.
This phase II trial studies how well romiplostim works in increasing low platelet counts in patients with multiple myeloma receiving chemotherapy. Romiplostim may cause the body to make platelets after chemotherapy
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of short-term (2 hours/120 minutes) and long-term (6 hours/360 minutes) schedules of crushed ice therapy (cryotherapy). Patients that receive high dose melphalan for bone marrow transplantation commonly develop significant mouth pain and sores (oral mucositis) unless cryotherapy is utilized. The goal of this study is to scientifically determine (using randomization and a larger sample size) if a short-term schedule is as effective as the standard long-term schedule in preventing, or minimizing the symptoms involved with oral mucositis. The study is also trying to determine the best dose of melphalan and how patient's body breaks down melphalan and will obtain blood through central venous catheter to measure the amount of melphalan in patient's blood at specific times after the melphalan is infused
