Filter by:This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with melphalan, and total-body irradiation before stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with multiple myeloma. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. The stem cells that were collected from the patient's blood or bone marrow are returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy and total-body irradiation.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of carfilzomib when given together with melphalan and to see how well they work in treating patients with multiple myeloma before stem cell transplant. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving carfilzomib together with melphalan may kill more cancer cells.
This phase II trial studies how well busulfan, melphalan, and bortezomib before first-line stem cell transplant works in treating patients with multiple myeloma. Giving chemotherapy before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant may stop the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.
This phase I trial studies how well vismodegib after stem cell transplant works in treating patients with high-risk first remission or relapsed multiple myeloma. Vismodegib may slow the growth of cancer cells. Giving vismodegib after autologous stem cell transplant may kill more multiple myeloma cells.
This phase II trial studies lenalidomide, dexamethasone, and clarithromycin in treating patients who have undergone stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide and clarithromycin, 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 dividing. Giving lenalidomide together with dexamethasone and clarithromycin may be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well bortezomib and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride work in treating patients multiple myeloma that are experiencing symptoms and have not received prior treatment. Bortezomib and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Drugs used in chemotherapy such as FR901228 use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of FR901228 in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
