Filter by:This is a Phase I/II, open-label, multi-center study conducted in patients with recurrent or refractory multiple myeloma who have failed at least two prior standard systemic treatments.
This is a multi-centre, single-arm treatment study combining lenalidomide plus high dose dexamethasone. Subjects who qualify for participation will receive lenalidomide plus high dose dexamethasone in 4 week cycles. Subjects will be seen every 2 weeks for the first 3 cycles of therapy and then every 4 weeks after the third cycle until disease progression is documented, study drug is discontinued for any reason or lenalidomide becomes commercially available for this indication. Assessments of safety and quality of life are performed during the study.
Multiple myeloma is a malignant incurable hematological disease where survival has been significantly improved by high-dose melphalan with autologous stem cell support (ASCT) in younger patients. However, the disease will eventually relapse and new treatment is demanded. Bortezomib is a newly approved drug for treating relapsing multiple myeloma. It has a different biological effect and response even in patients refractory to conventional chemotherapy. The purpose of the study is in a randomized design to investigate if addition of bortezomib by 20 injections during a 4 months period starting 3 month after ASCT can prolong the time to progression compared to patients receiving no consolidation or maintenance therapy.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well using the internet to collect symptoms and the ability to carry out daily activities works in patients with enrolled on Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) studies. A study that evaluates a patient's ability to use a clinic waiting room computer to report their symptoms and their ability to carry out daily activities may help doctors understand a patient's use of a computer to report symptoms.
RATIONALE: Dexamethasone is used to treat multiple myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy may stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Plasma exchange is a process in which certain cells are separated from the plasma in the blood by a machine and then only the cells are returned to the patient. Dexamethasone and plasma exchange may be an effective treatment for acute kidney failure caused by multiple myeloma. It is not yet known whether giving dexamethasone and chemotherapy together with plasma exchange is more effective than giving dexamethasone and chemotherapy alone in treating patients with multiple myeloma and acute kidney failure. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying dexamethasone, chemotherapy, and plasma exchange to see how well they work compared with dexamethasone and chemotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and acute kidney failure.
RATIONALE: Epoetin alfa and darbepoetin alfa may cause the body to make more red blood cells. They are used to treat anemia caused by chemotherapy in patients with cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying four different schedules of epoetin alfa or darbepoetin alfa to compare how well they work in treating patients with anemia caused by chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is determination of the event-free survival with and without Bortezomib consolidation therapy from the day of the first chemotherapeutic, myeloma-specific therapy measure, up to the occurrence of progression/recurrence or up to the occurrence of death.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a consolidation therapy with bortezomib in patients with multiple myeloma aged 61 to 75.
This is a phase I study of perifosine in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The current protocol will enroll patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma requiring second or third line therapy. Six patients each will be treated with at one of 4 dose levels in a phase 1 study. All patients will receive perifosine, lenalidomide and dexamethasone of each 28 day cycle. The doses of perifosine and lenalidomide will be varied in each group. The dose of dexamethasone will remain constant.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate of the study of different CNTO 328 doses and schedules and to see if CNTO 328 has any effect on Non-hodgkin's Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma or Castleman's disease.
