Filter by:RATIONALE: Alemtuzumab and glucocorticoids, such as prednisone or methylprednisolone, may be an effective treatment for acute graft-versus-host disease caused by a donor stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving alemtuzumab together with glucocorticoids works in treating newly diagnosed acute graft-versus-host disease in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant.
RATIONALE: Lithium carbonate may be an effective treatment for intestinal graft-versus-host disease caused by a donor stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying lithium carbonate in treating patients with acute intestinal graft-versus-host-disease after donor stem cell transplant.
This study will evaluate the safety and the efficacy of the association of Melphalan/ Prednisone/Thalidomide/Defibrotide (MPTD) as salvage treatment in advanced and refractory myeloma patients. This association might further increase the response rate achieved by oral MPT regimen
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of siltuximab in participants with relapsed (the return of a disease or the signs and symptoms of a disease after a period of improvement.) or refractory (cancer that does not respond to treatment) multiple myeloma (a type of cancer that begins in plasma cells [white blood cells that produce antibodies]).
The purpose of Part 1 of the study is to determine the safety of the combination of Siltuximab (CNTO 328) and bortezomib (Velcade). The purpose of Part 2 of the study is to compare the length of progression free survival for those patients given CNTO 328 and bortezomib to those patients given bortezomib alone.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the activity of BDD in subjects with acute renal failure as measured by· reversal of acute renal failureSecondary objectives· tumor response (complete and partial response)· To evaluate the safety of Bortezomib- Doxorubicin-Dexamethasone in this patient population· to evaluate the activity of Bortezomib- Doxorubicin -Dexamethasone on progression free survival · to evaluate the activity of Bortezomib- Doxorubicin -Dexamethasone on overall survival
This is a phase I/II study of perifosine in combination with bortezomib—with or without dexamethasone—for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma previously treated with bortezomib. The current protocol will enroll patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have been previously treated with bortezomib. The patients will be treated with perifosine, 50 mg or 100 mg qhs, in combination with bortezomib to determine if there is any preliminary evidence that the addition of perifosine improves the outcome for these patients. Previous treatment with perifosine will be allowed in this study. Patients progressing on treatment with perifosine and bortezomib will receive dexamethasone 20 mg on days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, and 19 of each 21-day cycle in addition to bortezomib and perifosine.
RATIONALE: Epoetin alfa may cause the body to make more red blood cells. It is used to treat anemia in patients with multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well epoetin alfa works in treating anemia in patients undergoing chemotherapy for multiple myeloma.
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) are used for transplantation in patients undergoing high dose therapy for the treatment of a range of cancers. - HSPC are collected from the bloodstream after treatment with medications that cause the HSPC to move from the bone marrow into the bloodstream, a process called mobilization - between 5 and 60% of patients can fail to collect enough HSPC for a transplant, using current mobilization techniques - this study aims to assess the safety of combining a derivative of vitamin A, ATRA with G-CSF (the drug most commonly used to mobilize HSPC) - ATRA has never been combined with G-CSF for mobilization of HSPC and therefore a study is needed to assess the safety of this combination, and whether it successfully mobilizes HSPC
In vitro statins, inhibitors of the HMG-CoA-reductase, have been shown to overcome cell adhesion mediated drug resistance at very low concentrations. The purpose of the study is to investigate the in vivo efficacy of simvastatin as inhibitor of cell adhesion mediated drug resistance. Patients refractory to ongoing chemotherapy will receive concomitantly simvastatin and response will be monitored by paraprotein levels
