Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bortezomib in participants with multiple myeloma who have previously responded to a bortezomib based therapy.
Maintenance treatment of myeloma.
To evaluate the response rate (Complete Response [CR] and Partial Response [PR]) to dasatinib in patients with relapsed, refractory or plateau phase multiple myeloma whose serum paraprotein levels are >0.5g/dL or urine paraprotein levels are >1.0g/24 hours.
Primary Objectives: 1. To determine the efficacy of administering multiple doses of intravenous (i.v.) busulfan at a dose of 130 mg/m2, to yield a systemic plasma drug exposure represented by a daily area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of approximately 5,000 mMol-min for 4 days, followed by i.v. melphalan at a dose of 70 mg/m2 for 2 days in adult patients receiving autologous or allogeneic transplantation for lymphoid malignancies or myeloma. 2. To describe the plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of busulfan and melphalan in this regimen. 3. To determine the disease-free and overall survival of patients receiving this preparative regimen. 4. To determine the treatment-related morbidity and mortality of this combination of drugs.
This study will provide follow-up evaluations of breast cancer or multiple myeloma patients who received gene therapy (gene transfer) as part of their participation in an NIH protocol. Gene therapy is a new technology, which may involve a permanent change in the patient s genetic code. Therefore, although the risk of long-term harmful effects of this therapy is very small, the Food and Drug Administration requires prolonged monitoring of patients health status. Patients previously enrolled in NIH protocols 96-C-0007, 93-C-0208, 92-C-0161, or 92-H-0057 will be followed under the current protocol. No further gene therapy will be provided in this study. Patients health status will be evaluated for an indefinite period of time, or as long as they are willing to be monitored. They will provide a blood sample once a year and will be interviewed about their health status twice a year for the first 5 years after gene therapy and once a year thereafter. These procedures are done to look for the development of any diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, autoimmune or blood disorders that may be related to side effects of the gene transfer.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving umbilical cord blood along with standard stem cells after high-dose chemotherapy will improve the response to a stem cell transplant. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
To identify the MTD of HuLuc63 administered intravenously (IV) for 4 doses.2. To evaluate the safety of HuLuc63 IV given every other week for 4 doses.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the repeat-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of zoledronic acid when administered every 4 weeks versus every 12 weeks, in patients treated with 9-20 infusions of zoledronic acid during the previous 10-15 months.
RATIONALE: Pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Studying samples of cerebrospinal fluid and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn how pemetrexed disodium works in the body and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with leptomeningeal metastases.
To compare the efficacy of oral CC-5013 in combination with oral pulse high-dose dexamethasone to that of placebo and oral high-dose pulse dexamethasone as treatment for subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma."
