Filter by:Cancer-induced peripheral neuropathies (CIPN) remain a real problem in oncology (Balayssac et al., 2011). These CIPN are induced by certain classes of anticancer drugs such as taxanes (paclitaxel and docetaxel), platinum salts (cisplatin and oxaliplatin), alkaloids of Madagascar periwinkle (vincristine), bortezomib, thalidomide and eribulin (Balayssac et al., 2011; Vahdat et al., 2013). These CIPN essentially translate into sensory disorders such as paresthesia, dysesthetics or numbness. More rarely, these CIPN may be associated with motor or vegetative disorders (Balayssac et al., 2011). According to the recent meta-analysis by Hershman et al., no treatment can be proposed as a "gold standard" for preventing or treating CIPN (Hershman et al., 2014). As a result, oncologists reduce or stop doses of neurotoxic anticancer drugs because patients with CIPN have a marked deterioration in quality of life and co-morbidities such as anxiety, depression and sleep disorders (Hong et al., 2014; Mols et al., 2014). Therefore, understanding the pathophysiology of CIPN is essential to propose new therapeutic strategies. Among neurotoxic anticancer drugs, bortezomib remains relatively little studied in terms of pathophysiology compared to platinum salts or taxanes, while the neurotoxicity of bortezomib remains a limiting factor in treatment. Since 2012, the FDA and EMA have validated the administration of bortezomib subcutaneously instead of intravenously in order to limit the neurotoxicity of bortezomib (Minarik et al., 2015). Indeed, a large study (N=222) reported that subcutaneous administration of bortezomib allowed the same therapeutic efficacy to be maintained while improving the safety profile and in particular limiting peripheral neuropathies (CIPN all grades: 38% vs. 53%, p=0.044, grade> 2: 24% vs. 41%, p=0.012 and grade> 3: 6% vs. 16%, p=0.026) However, a recent retrospective study (N=446) reports that the prevalence of bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathies after subcutaneous administration remains relatively high: all grade: 41%, grade> 2: 18%, grade> 3: 4%, and above all that this prevalence is not different between subcutaneous and intravenous routes (Minarik et al., 2015).
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of BCMA CAR-T cells in treating patients with BCMA positive multiple myeloma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. T cells are a type of white blood cell and a major component of the immune system. T-cells that have been genetically modified in the laboratory express BCMA and may kill cancer cells with the protein BCMA on their surface. Giving chemotherapy before BCMA CAR-T cells may reduce the amount of disease and to cause a low lymphocyte (white blood cell) count in the blood, which may help the infused BCMA CAR-T cells survive and expand.
There are limited data concerning the use of biosimilars of filgrastim in autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). This study aimed to evaluate G-CSF efficiency and safety (based on haemograms, transfusion needs and complications) of two biosimilars (Zarzio and Ratiograstim®) compared to those of Neupogen® for our patients who underwent ASCT.
This phase II trial studies how well stem cell transplant with or without tbo-filgrastim works in treating patients with multiple myeloma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Eliminating the use of tbo-filgrastim after transplant may still help maintain a similar time to discharge.
Lymphoid hemopathies are a group of malignant haematological disorders characterized by clonal proliferation of cells of the lymphoid line. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and multiple myeloma (MM) are the most frequently encountered features of lymphoid hemopathies. Duriong the last 35 years the prevalence of these pathologies has increased in France but also in most industrialized countries. This increased can't be solely explained by demographic changes and improvements in diagnostic techniques. As a result, the involvement of environmental and professional factors is strongly suspected. Studies have shown that these diseases are associated with some professions or type of activity, including agricultural occupations, and other sectors such as agriculture, printing, woodworking. Some organic solvents and pesticides have been suspected of being risk factors of hematologic malignancies. Based on cohort studies and case-control studies, some of them have been identified by the International Cancer Research Center as associated with the occurrence of NHL with a sufficient or limited level of evidence. One of the difficulties encountered in the analysis of the literature has been the permanent evolution of the international classification of lymphoid hemopathies over the past 30 years. The old epidemiological studies are therefore difficult to interpret. Lymphoid hemopathies cover a range of different conditions, thus it is likely that carcinogens involved vary according to the type of hemopathy. Finally, environmental and occupational exposures to various chemicals and biological agents have evolved over time. The aim of this study is firstly to develop and validate a questionnaire to identify and quantify exposures to nuisances (substances and agents) suspected of being associated with the occurrence of NHL, MM and LLC. In a second time, this questionnaire will be used as a support for the realization of a subsequent case-control study to improve epidemiological knowledge on these diseases.
This open-label, randomized, multicenter, triple-arm Phase Ib/II study is designed to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of cobimetinib administered as a single agent (Arm A), cobimetinib plus venetoclax (Arm B), and cobimetinib plus venetoclax plus atezolizumab (Arm C) in participants with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Two successive cohorts will evaluate the safety of cobimetinib plus venetoclax and that of cobimetinib plus venetoclax plus atezolizumab in the selected population during the safety run-in phase of the study. Once the dose levels have demonstrated acceptable safety during this phase, randomization will begin for all treatment arms (Arms A, B, and C).
This pilot phase I clinical trial studies how well copper 64Cu-DOTA-daratumumab positron emission tomography works in diagnosing patients with multiple myeloma that has come back. Diagnostic procedures, such as copper 64Cu-DOTA-daratumumab positron emission tomography, may help evaluate the extent of multiple myeloma in patients prior to the initiation of treatment and ultimately monitor disease status/response during and post treatment.
The purpose of this study is to assess safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD), and immunogenicity with ISB 1342 in subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
Study PT-112-102, a multicenter, open-label dose-finding and pharmacokinetic study of PT-112 in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. This is designed as a two-part study. In the first part of the study, cohorts of three patients (expanded to six patients in the event of a dose-limiting toxicity) will receive escalating doses of PT-112 until the MTD is reached, based on tolerability observed during the first 28 days of treatment. In the second part of the study, an expansion cohort of 14 patients will be treated at the recommended dose to confirm the tolerability of treatment and evaluate evidence of treatment efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to show that subcutaneous (SC) administration of daratumumab co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (Dara SC) is non-inferior to intravenous (IV) administration of daratumumab (Dara IV) in terms of the overall response rate (ORR) and maximum trough concentration (Ctrough).
