Filter by:This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of engineered donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Using T cells specially selected from donor blood in the laboratory for transplant may stop this from happening.
Patients living with multiple myeloma (MM) have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) due to the disease itself and the use of targeted therapies, including immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs). Prevention of VTE has become a major management challenge during MM treatment. There is a paucity of data with respect to the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) in the cancer population. However, the NOACs offer comparable efficacy but improved safety compared with warfarin. Apixaban has shown excellent safety and efficacy for treatment and prevention of recurrent VTE (1,2). The safety and efficacy of apixaban for primary prevention of VTE in MM patients has not been established. Aim #1: To quantify the 6-month rate of major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding in MM patients receiving IMiDs who are prescribed apixaban 2.5 mg orally twice daily for primary prevention of VTE. Hypothesis #1: The 6-month rate of major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding in MM patients receiving IMiDs who are prescribed apixaban 2.5 mg orally twice daily for primary prevention of VTE will be ≤3% (2). Although the MM population, in general, has a higher medical acuity than that of the previous large randomized controlled trials of apixaban, we will be selecting a stable population of MM patients who are appropriate for immunomodulatory therapy. Aim #2: To quantify 6-month rate of symptomatic VTE in MM patients receiving IMiDs who are prescribed apixaban 2.5 mg orally twice daily for primary prevention of VTE. Hypothesis #2: The 6-month rate of symptomatic VTE in MM patients receiving IMiDs who are prescribed apixaban 2.5 mg orally twice daily for primary prevention of VTE will be <7% (3). Although additional therapies for MM such as dexamethasone and erythropoietin-stimulating agents may further increase the risk of VTE, the rate of incident VTE should be reduced to <7% with apixaban.
This study will find the highest acceptable treatment dose and timing of infusion of cord blood, culture expanded natural killer (NK) cells, a kind of immune cell, in patients with multiple myeloma. The NK cells will be given at varying days post autologous stem cell transplant. rhIL-2 is administered after treatment to help the NK cells expand in the body. The safety of this treatment will be studied and researchers want to learn if NK cells will help in treating multiple myeloma.
The goal of this project is to conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial (RCT) to evaluate the feasibility of a brief, behavioral intervention to improve recovery following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Cancer patients who were treated with HSCT will learn behavioral techniques to improve sleep and increase daytime activity with the goal of alleviating insomnia, fatigue, and depression. If the intervention demonstrates evidence of feasibility and acceptability, a future study will test the effects in a larger trial, with the long-term goal of improving the care and quality of life of cancer survivors recovering from HSCT.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate complete response plus (+) very good partial response (CR+VGPR) rate following 4 cycles of induction therapy of daratumumab in combination with cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-CyBorD), in previously untreated subjects, and in relapsed subjects with multiple myeloma, as defined by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria.
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of metformin hydrochloride and ritonavir in treating patients with multiple myeloma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia that has returned after a period of improvement or has not responded to treatment. Metformin hydrochloride and ritonavir may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Those patients with newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (MM) who are not candidates for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) and who meet the screening criteria described in this protocol can participate. The participating patients must sign an informed consent, which the investigator who will collect the study variables in an electronic case report form (eCRF) will provide to them. The investigators must recruit at least 450 patients in a 24-month period.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well daratumumab works in treating patients with multiple myeloma when the infusion is accelerated. Monoclonal antibodies, such as daratumumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
A study evaluating two new formulations of oprozomib plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma.
To understand the safety and efficacy of Revlimid® 5 mg Capsules (hereinafter referred to as Revlimid) in patients with "relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma" (hereinafter referred to as "relapsed or refractory MM") who have received long-term treatment with it under the actual condition of use. 1. Planned registration period This period started on the date of initial marketing of Revlimid and will end at the time when the planned number of patients to be enrolled, 300, is reached (estimated to be approximately 1 year and 3 moths). 2. Planned surveillance period This period started on the date of initial marketing of Revlimid and will end 3 years after the last enrolled patient begins receiving Revlimid (estimated to be approximately 4 years and 3 months).
