Filter by:The aim of this research study is to use advanced immunology laboratory analysis to identify a more precise blood test that will predict infection risk in patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL) or Multiple Myeloma (MM).
Multiple Myeloma occurs with damaging bone lesion, hypercalcemia, anemia and renal failure as a result of secretion of monoclonal protein in serum and/or urea and accumulation of plasma cells. The most common symptoms at the time of diagnosis are; fatigue, insomnia, bone pain and recurrent infections. In multiple myeloma patients, pain, fatigue and sleep problems are conditions that significantly affect the daily life activities of the individual and require planned nursing interventions for the solution. In this challenging process, a holistic approach should be adopted while planning the care practices of the patients, and non-pharmacological practices should be planned, which will enable the patient to perform the activities of daily life with minimum energy and maximum function. Acupressure, one of the non-pharmacological applications, is a complementary medicine method that ensures the proper functioning of the energy channels by applying pressure to the points on the energy-carrying meridians (these points are the same as acupuncture points) with fingers, palms or wrist bands without using needles, unlike acupuncture. In the literature, it is stated that acupressure is a pain-relieving, relaxing analgesic and immune system-strengthening supportive method rather than its therapeutic effect, and it relieves insomnia and fatigue and relieves the person. In addition, within the scope of the harmonization model; By teaching acupressure to patients by nurses, patients can be actively involved in their own symptom management. Therefore, this study was planned to evaluate the effect of self-acupressure applied to patients with multiple myeloma on pain, fatigue and sleep quality. The research will be conducted as a randomized, experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group. The sample of the study will consist of 52 Multiple Myeloma patients, 26 experimental and 26 control groups, who met the research criteria and accepted the study, between August 2022 and January 2023, in Hematology Clinic and Polyclinic of Fırat University Hospital. Patients in the experimental group will be asked to perform self-acupressure by showing and teaching the LI4, HT 7, ST36 and SP6 acupressure points by the researcher. Depending on the preparation and compression time on these 4 points, the patients will be asked to perform a total of 16 sessions for 4 weeks, for a total of 18 minutes, 2 days a week in the morning and afternoon. The 1st measurement will be obtained by applying the Patient Information Form, Visual Analog Scale "Pitssburg Sleep Quality Index (PUKI)" and Piper Fatigue Scale" to the patients in the experimental group at the pre-test stage before the application. After 4 weeks, the Pitssburg Sleep Quality Index (PUKI) and The second measurement will be obtained by applying the "Piper Fatigue Scale" again. No application will be made to the patients in the control group. In the pre-test phase, the 1st measurement will be obtained by applying only the Patient Information Form, Visual Analog Scale, Pitssburg Sleep Quality Index (PUKI) and Piper Fatigue Scale. After 4 weeks, in the post-test phase, the second measurement will be obtained by re-applying the other forms except the Patient Information Form. The data will be analyzed using the SPSS 23 program. Shapiro Wilk test, t test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon test and Chi-square analysis will be used in the analysis of the data.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of TG01 vaccination in patients with KRAS or NRAS mutation on codon 12/13 mutation who has multiple myeloma or high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma. The main question it aims to answer are: Is TG01/QS-21 vaccination safe and tolerable for this patient group? Is TG01/QS-21 vaccination treatment efficient in this group in terms of increased overall response rate, overall survival rate, progression-free survival, and time til next treatment? Is there an immunological response to the vaccine? Participants will be given TG01/QS-21 vaccination treatment. Treatment consists of 12 doses of TG01/QS-21 vaccine given every two weeks in the first 12 weeks, followed by every eight weeks until week 52.
This is a single-arm, single-center, open-label clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CAR-T in patients with NDMM.
This is a first-in-human (FIH) Phase 1/Phase 2 study for evaluating SAR445514 in monotherapy in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) and relapsed/refractory light chain amyloidosis (RRLCA). The study will comprise 3 parts: A dose escalation phase (Part 1) in RRMM participants (Part 1a) that will evaluate several doses administered to determine 2 doses that will be tested in the dose optimization part. A dose escalation will also be done in RRLCA participants (Part 1b) but started sequentially after the end of the dose escalation in RRMM participants. This dose escalation will evaluate the 2 doses planned to be used in dose optimization in RRMM, to ensure those doses are safe also for RRLCA participants. A dose optimization phase (Part 2) that will be evaluating 2 doses determined from Part 1 to determine the preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (pRP2D) and schedule for SAR445514 in RRMM. A dose expansion phase (Part 3) that will evaluate the preliminary efficacy of pRP2D and schedule for SAR445514 in RRMM (Part 3a) and RRLCA (Part 3b). Approximately 101 participants will be enrolled and treated by study intervention and separated as such: Part 1a: Approximately 18 to 30 participants Part 1b: Approximately 6 to 12 participants Part 2: Approximately 30 participants Part 3a: Approximately 15 participants Part 3b: Approximately 14 participants
A Clinical Trial to Explore the Safety and Efficacy of CT071 injection in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma or Primary Plasma Cell Leukemia
The purpose of this phase I study is to determine whether MDC-CAR-BCMA001 (BCMA directed CAR T-cells) is safe and tolerable in the treatment of relapsed and refractory B-cell malignancies
Daratumumab is a human first-in-class monoclonal antibody that targets a cluster of differentiation (CD) 38, a cell surface protein that is overexpressed on multiple myeloma (MM) cells, showing significant activity in relapsed/refractory disease. More recently, it was demonstrated that the addition of daratumumab to pre-autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (ASCT) induction regimens in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma increased the rate of complete responses and disease-free survival. However, in consideration of the expression of CD38 antigen also by stem cells, daratumumab could exert effects on their mobilization, collection, and engraftment. The primary objective of this retrospective/prospective observational study is to investigate the impact of adding daratumumab to standard induction regimens (VTD:bortezomib-thalidomide and dexamethasone, VD: bortezomib and dexamethasone) on stem cell mobilization in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who are candidates for ASCT.
This project will pilot the expansion of the existing Taussig Outreach Program's community outreach and patient navigation model to study the multiple myeloma (MM) screening program. This involves analyzing community reception, screening program methods, reasons patients decided to participate, reasons patients declined participation, and participant views and attitudes. This study also aims to gauge the current and general understanding of MM. This study seeks to recruit participants in the pilot screening program to promote early detection. Participants who have abnormal results will receive patient navigation for further diagnostics and testing.
This study is researching an experimental drug called linvoseltamab (called "study drug"). The study is focused on participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who are eligible for high dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (transplant-eligible) or ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (transplant-ineligible). The aim of this clinical trial is to study the safety, tolerability (how the body reacts to the drug), and effectiveness (tumor shrinkage) of linvoseltamab in study participants with NDMM as a first step in determining if the study drug has a role in the treatment of NDMM. This study consists of 2 phases: - In Phase 1, the study drug will be given to participants to study the side effects of the study drug and to establish the regimen (initial doses and full dose) of the study drug to be given to participants in Phase 2. - In Phase 2, the study drug will be given to more participants to continue to assess the side effects of the study drug and to evaluate the ability of the study drug to shrink the tumor (multiple myeloma) in participants with NDMM. The study is looking at several research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking linvoseltamab? - What the right dosing regimen is for linvoseltamab? - How many participants treated with linvoseltamab have improvement of their disease and for how long? - The effects of linvoseltamab study treatment before and after transplant - How much linvoseltamab is in the blood at different times? - Whether the body makes antibodies against linvoseltamab (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects).
