Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a weekly yoga intervention in patients with multiple myeloma on active therapy. This study aims to analyze the impact of yoga intervention on physical symptoms (e.g. pain, fatigue, sleep), psychological symptoms (e.g. anxiety, depression), and overall health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in multiple myeloma patients on active treatment.
This is a multi-institution, open label, phase I/II study of Iberdomide, Carfilzomib, and dexamethasone (KID) in patients with newly diagnosed transplant eligible MM.
This research trial studies how well biospecimen collection works in identifying genetic changes in patients with breast, prostate, colorectal, liver, or kidney cancer or multiple myeloma undergoing surgery. Studying samples collected during surgery may add to the understanding of cancer by looking for the genetic changes that cause early cancer onset in people of certain racial and ethnic groups.
This Research study is being done to characterize the safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity of the NEXI-002 T cell product (a new experimental therapy), which contains populations of CD8+ T cells targeting multiple Myeloma associated antigen peptides in patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (MM). The study will enroll patients with MM who have relapsed or are refractory to standard lines of treatment. The enrolled patients will undergo bridging therapy for the purposes of disease control while the NEXI-002 T cell product is being manufactured. Choice of bridging therapy administered will be per the Investigator's discretion, but is limited to acceptable agents as specified in the protocol. Bridging therapy will be administered prior to lymphodepleting (LD) therapy, with the last dose of the bridging therapy administered ≥ 14 days prior to initiation of LD therapy. Within 72 hours after completing LD therapy, patients will receive a single IV infusion of the NEXI-002 T cell product.
Multiple myeloma is the second most common haematological cancer with a cancer incidence of around 500 new cases in Austria per year . Novel treatment methods have significantly increased the cancer-specific survival rate in patients with multiple myeloma. For Austria, this means that 5- and 10-year survival rates rose from 32.1 to 46.4% and from 19.0 to 25.6% from the end of the 1980s to the end of the 2000s. Longer survival is associated with the need to maintain independence and quality of life in the longer term. In this context, regular physical training has seen a significant increase in the importance of cancer in recent years.The guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine still contain very general training recommendations for cancer patients. Either 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of intensive endurance training per week are recommended, supplemented by at least two units of strengthening training and stretching exercises for the large muscle groups. In a recent cross-sectional and pilot study with multiple myeloma patients that was carried out at the Clinic for Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation and Occupational Medicine at the Medical University of Vienna (EK 1725/2018), it was on the one hand identified that there was a discrepancy between these patients on the one hand has given actual and perceived risk of falling, and on the other hand it is concluded that training recommendations should be carried out separately in group and individual training according to the actual risk of falling and fracture. The present project is the follow-up to this cross-sectional investigation. The aim is to examine the feasibility and effects of a structured, physical training program carried out over a period of 12 weeks on physical performance, quality of life, body composition and the risk of falling. The effects of patients with increased risk in individual training sessions are compared to those of lower risk patients in group training sessions. Furthermore, the study patients will be able to bring training partners with them to their own training units if available and for their own security. They are evaluated separately according to qualitative criteria.
This phase I study utilizes a 3+3 design with escalating cohorts of Carfilzomib at 20mg/m2, 27mg/m2, 36mg/m2, 45mg/m2, 56mg/m2, and 70mg/m2 to be administered concomitantly with Cyclophosphamide 2 gm/m2, Dexamethasone and Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)
This trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BCMA-UCART in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
The study is designed to determine if high doses of intravenous ascorbic acid (vitamin C) can be effective in managing solid tumor diseases. Secondary goals are determination of any palliative effects and improvement of quality of life of patients.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F] fluorothymidine (FLT) PET imaging, may help find and diagnose cancer. It may also help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying FLT PET imaging in patients with cancer.
The clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of single autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with standard conditioning of melphalan 200 mg/m2 followed by thalidomide maintenance in patients with newly-diagnosed myeloma after receiving 4-6 cycles of induction chemotherapy consisting of vincristin,adriamycin and dexamethasone (VAD) or thalidomide/dexamethasone between 18 to 65 years.
