Filter by:Belantamab Mafodotin is the first antibody conjugate targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). It is used in multiple myeloma refractory to an immunomodulatory drug or proteasome inhibitor and refractory and/or intolerant to an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. It has been found that the immunotherapy causes corneal side effects, Microcyst-like Epithelial Changes (MECs). They are round-shaped corneal inclusions that migrate from the peripheral cornea to the center, causing blurry vision, dryness and refractive shifts depending on their location and density.
This is a survey among pharmacists who have instructed NINLARO therapy in ixazomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (IRD) dosing to patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (rrMM). The main aims of the study are: - To assess the frequency of pharmacists who have provided patients with the contents of the RMP material for patients. - To assess the frequency of pharmacists who have obtained the RMP material for patients. - To evaluate the depth of understanding of proper usage of NINLARO among pharmacists.
The current cytogenetic characterization of Multiple Myeloma (including chromosome and gene abnormalities identification in abnormal plasma cells) encounters some limitations. Indeed current techniques only enable to analyze a limited numbers of predefined abnormalities. New tools that will allow for characterization of abnormalities involved in multiple myeloma development are thus required. The interest of Optical Genome Mapping has already been demonstrated in other hematological diseases. The present study aims at validating Optical Genome Mapping in genetic abnormalities identification for patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM).
Pirmary endpoint: to examine the feasibility of using an mHealth app for reporting of side effects instead of a telephone call from the hospital staff together with examining the perspectives of patients with multiple myeloma and healthcare professionals of this new method for reporting side effects, and to assess organizational aspects. Usual procedure to assess side effect prior to cancer treatment with Bortezomib is a telephone call the day before. With this innovative method investigator aimed to give the patient more independence in their daily life and in that way improve their quality of life.
Goal of this observational, non-interventional study is to demonstrate that in humans a correlation exists between bone marrow (BM) levels of the cytokine interleukin 17 (IL-17) and composition of the gut microbiota in patients affected by smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) or multiple myeloma (MM). Enrolled SMM/MM patients will be analyzed for their bone marrow levels of IL-17 together with the distribution of T helper 17 lymphocytes in their BM and peripheral blood. These analyses will be correlated with analyses of the patients' gut microbiome to identify commensal bacteria potentially involved in Th17 cell expansion.
This is a single-centre, single ascending dose (SAD) pilot study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, including local tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of NEX-20A (lenalidomide) after the administration of a single subcutaneous prolonged-release injection to healthy male volunteers
This study is to understand how well elranatamab (PF-06863135) may be used for relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Sometimes MM might improve at first, but then gets resistant to the treatment and starts growing again (known as relapsed refractory). This study medicine will be compared with standard-of-care (SOC) therapies used in real-world clinical practice. For people receiving elranatamab, we will use data from the phase 2 clinical trial (MagnetisMM-3). We will also use data from two real-world databases, representing the SOC in clinical practice. This study does not seek any participants for enrollment. We will compare the experiences of people receiving elranatamab to people receiving SOC therapies. This way, it will help us to know how well elranatamab can be used for RRMM treatment.
Main research question: What is the present venous thrombosis incidence and what are the current practices of prescribing thromboprophylaxis in patients with multiple myeloma (MM)? Design: The present study is a retrospective cohort study. The patients will be selected from the electronic patient dossier (EPD) of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). The present study will include newly diagnosed adult patients with a first MM at the UMCG between 1st of January 2014 and 1st of September 2021. The primary outcome of the study is the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) with one year of diagnosis of MM. The investigators will also describe the various thromboprophylaxis regimens used and their corresponding VTE incidence. The secondary outcome will be the incidence of arterial thrombosis (AT) within the same period of time. Possible confounders are the therapy administered for MM, thromboprophylaxis type, age and patient comorbidities. Lastly, the third outcome will be a description of current thromboprophylaxis practices in the UMCG. Each outcome will be described separately. Expected results: Based on the study by de Waal et al in which they included 474 MM patients treated at the UMCG and at 4 hospitals in the province Friesland, the investigators expect to record a VTE incidence of approximately 15%.
The study is a randomized controlled trial to develop and evaluate a coordinated financial navigation program at the Abramson Cancer Center (ACC) for patients with multiple myeloma and identify barriers to its broader implementation.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the immune profile of plasma cells and immune effector cells in paired peripheral whole blood and bone marrow samples from MM patients by standardized flow cytometry. The quantitative and/or qualitative variation of these immune effectors according to the different status of myeloma pathology (diagnosis, relapse or refractory). It is interesting to assess the extent to which a particular immune profile is associated with a better therapeutic response for a given treatment. In addition, the study will validate the stability of the samples between T0 (< 4 hours after sampling) and T0 + 72 hours.
