Filter by:Based on the pre-clinical data the investigators hypothesize that G-CSF treatment in patients with multiple myeloma will generate a 'hostile' bone marrow microenvironment for myeloma cells, depriving them of key support signals and rendering them more sensitive to chemotherapy. The investigators therefore propose to do an initial pilot study 1) to explore the safety of the combination of G-CSF and bortezomib-, carfilzomib-, or IMID-based treatment regimens in patients with bortezomib-, carfilzomib-, or IMID-refractory myeloma and 2) to generate correlative data for a subsequent larger study looking at the combination.
This pilot phase II trial studies how well giving high dose busulfan together with bortezomib works in treating patients with high risk multiple myeloma undergoing stem cell transplant. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as busulfan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cells growth. Giving busulfan together with bortezomib before a stem cell transplant may kill more cancer cells
This randomized pilot phase II trial studies how well giving dalteparin, lenalidomide, and low-dose dexamethasone together works in treating patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma. Anticoagulants, such as dalteparin, may help prevent blood clots from forming in patients being treated with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for multiple myeloma. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving dalteparin, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone together may be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma
This study is for patients with advanced solid tumors. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of a new combination of drugs, CS-7017 and Bexarotene in patients with advanced cancer. CS-7017 and Bexarotene both have many effects on cancer cells, including stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing, and causing the cancer cells to die. CS-7017 and Bexarotene work on cancer cells in a similar manner and both drugs together may have an even greater effect against cancer cells, hopefully, increasing the killing of cancer cells. CS-7017 is an investigational or experimental anti-cancer agent that has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in any type of cancer. Bexarotene is an anti-cancer agent that has been approved by the FDA for patients with a specific type of cancer, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. This study will help find out what effects the combination of drugs, CS-7017 and Bexarotene, has on cancer. This research is being done because it is not known if CS-7017 is safe to be given with Bexarotene.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the multi-lineage hematopoietic chimerism for unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB) grafts pooled from two to three cord blood units. Also to evaluate the toxicity, and antitumor responses of pooled unrelated UCB transplants.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the use of bendamustine in combination with a commonly used combination chemotherapy to treat relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The study will be conducted in two phases. Participants in phase I will receive 1 of 4 escalating doses of bendamustine. Once the maximum tolerated dose of bendamustine is determined, phase II of this trial will begin. Participants in phase II will receive the maximum tolerated dose of bendamustine in combination with standard of care chemotherapy.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of masitinib 6 mg/kg/day in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone to placebo in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone in the treatment of patients with relapsing multiple myeloma who have received one previous therapy.
This is a dose finding pilot study to evaluate the safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose of the combination of carfilzomib and pomalidomide with dexamethasone (CPD) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma followed by a phase II expansion at the MTD to evaluate efficacy.
In this study the investigators are comparing this standard regimen to the newly established regimen of melphalan and bortezomib.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as a therapeutic option in mobilizing stem cells for autologous stem cell transplant.
