Filter by:In this multi-center phase III trial, untreated patients diagnosed with AL who are not candidates for stem cell transplant with melphalan 200 mg/m2 are the target population. Stage I and II patients will be eligible. Stage III patients will be enrolled in an ancillary phase II study. Eligible patients will be stratified as cardiac stage I or stage II and then randomized to receive MDex or BMDex. Primary objective is to compare hematologic(clonal) response i.e. the rate of complete response (CR) + partial response (PR) defined according to the criteria of the International Society for Amyloidosis consensus.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Vel-Dex therapy (bortezomib and dexamethasone) followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as an initial treatment in patients with newly diagnosed AL.
The study is being done to see if the combination of bendamustine and dexamethasone will help people with amyloidosis that has returned after standard treatment, and to to estimate the partial hematologic response rate (PHR).
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with Kiacta in adult patients with AA Amyloidosis.
RATIONALE: Infection prophylaxis and management may help prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection caused by a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE:This clinical trial studies infection prophylaxis and management in treating cytomegalovirus infection in patients with hematologic malignancies previously treated with donor stem cell transplant.
Primary outcome measure: - Hematologic response rate to the association of Lenalidomide, Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone. Secondary outcome measures: - Organ response rate. - Predictors of response (cardiac biomarkers, serum free light chains). - Toxicity - Safety (type, frequency, severity and relationship of adverse events to the study drug). - Duration of response. - Time to progression. - Overall survival
This study is being conducted to explore the potential benefits of a twelve-month doxycycline (at the best tolerated dose of 200 mg/day) and tauroursodeoxycholic acid (750 mg/day) treatment on disease progression in patients affected by transthyretin amyloidosis, including: 1) patients not eligible for liver transplantation; 2) patients eligible for liver transplantation, as a "bridge" therapy between the time of diagnosis and surgery, with the aim of stabilizing the disease; 3) patients showing disease progression after liver transplantation performed since at least 1 year. It is a phase II, therapeutic exploratory, two-part, 18-month, single centre, prospective study. Part I is a 12-month, open label treatment period in which doxycycline (200 mg/day, continuously) and tauroursodeoxycholic acid (750 mg/day continuously) are administered to 40 consenting subjects with transthyretin amyloidosis. Part II is a withdrawal period in which subjects will be monitored for disease progression. During part I, subjects will be evaluated at baseline (study Day 0), and then after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of doxycycline plus tauroursodeoxycholic acid treatment or at premature treatment discontinuation; during part II, they will be assessed at months 15 and 18. Monthly phone contacts and blood tests will be performed to monitor potential adverse events.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single dose of ALN-TTR01 in patients with transthyretin (TTR) mediated amyloidosis (ATTR).
We hope to determine the importance of different genes (including B receptors) in anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. This has important benefits to patients exposed to anthracyclines, as this could help determine whether certain individuals have increased susceptibility to cardiac injury.
The drugs dexamethasone and bortezomib are both FDA-approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma, a disease very similar to amyloidosis. However, they are currently investigational for the treatment of amyloidosis. We want to find out if the addition of dexamethasone and bortezomib to standard high dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant can help improve response. Standard treatment includes four steps: 1) Stem Cell Mobilization (standard) 2) Stem Cell Collection (standard) 3) Conditioning Regimen (Melphalan chemotherapy). The conditioning regimen helps to kill the abnormal cells in the body and makes room in the bone marrow for new blood stem cells to grow. 4) Stem Cell Infusion Participants in this study will have an additional treatment step called "induction therapy", designed as the first step towards reducing the number of abnormal cells in the body. Two cycles of the investigational drugs bortezomib and dexamethasone will be given during induction therapy. In addition, bortezomib will given as part of the conditioning regimen, in addition to the standard melphalan chemotherapy.
