Filter by:The Primary objective of this study is to compare serum levels of Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (M-CSF) in a population of patients with multiple myeloma (MM), in a population of patients with Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) and in a control population.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the efficacy of gemcitabine is comparable with the efficacy of the standard chemotherapy with vinorelbine for mobilization of autologous stem cells in myeloma patients
This is a multi-center, non-randomized, open label, longterm safety and efficacy follow-up study for subjects who have been treated with bb2121 in the Phase 1 clinical parent study, that evaluated the safety and efficacy of bb2121 in subjects with relapsed or refractory B cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-expressing multiple myeloma. bb2121 is defined as autologous T lymphocytes (T cells) transduced ex vivo with anti-BCMA02 CAR lentiviral vector encoding the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeted to human BCMA suspended in cryopreservative solution. bb2121 is administered in subjects 1 time (or retreated if retreatment criteria are met) in parent clinical study. No investigational treatment will be administered in this study. After completing the parent study, eligible subjects will be followed for up to 15 years after their last bb2121 infusion in the parent study.
Phase I: The primary purpose of this study phase is to determine the best dose also referred to as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Selinexor when used in combination with high-dose melphalan as a conditioning regimen for hematopoietic cell transplant. Phase II: The primary purpose of this study phase is to assess the complete response (CR) conversion rate.
Broadly speaking, the goal of this study is to better understand the influence of chemotherapy treatment on the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying human behavior. Extant literature lacks diversity in studied cancer populations and treatment protocols, and provides limited understanding of the cognitive abilities that are impaired by chemotherapy. To overcome these limitations, this study will employ a sophisticated battery of tests on an understudied cancer population. Eligible participants will either be patients diagnosed with hematological malignancy (HM) or demographically matched healthy control patients. After HM diagnosis and treatment protocols have been established, patients will be inducted into the longitudinal study comprised of three visits: 1) after diagnosis but prior to chemotherapy treatment (baseline), 2) after one treatment cycle (one month post-baseline), and 3) after three treatment cycles (three months post-baseline). Patients will undergo a test battery designed to measure specific behavioral and neural mechanisms of attention; tests will either be computer-based cognitive tasks or simulated driving tests that immerse patients into virtual driving scenarios. During each test, EEG will be concurrently measured through non-invasive scalp electrophysiology recordings; EEG recordings will reveal underlying neural mechanisms affected by chemotherapy. Additionally, neuropsychological tests of vision, attention, and memory will be administered, as well as questionnaires to evaluate health, mobility, and life space. Finally, blood samples will be collected to examine levels of circulating inflammation-specific proteins typically present in cancer patients. This study will allow us to better understand the mechanisms through which chemotherapy influences cognitive performance. Results from this study will influence the administration of chemotherapy treatments so that patients can continue to receive the highest medical care while maintaining optimal cognitive abilities and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to describe contemporary, real-world patterns of patient characteristics, clinical disease presentation, therapeutic regimen chosen, and clinical outcomes in participants with newly diagnosed [ND] multiple myeloma (MM) and participants with relapsed/refractory [R/R] MM.
This was a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of venetoclax plus bortezomib and dexamethasone in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who are considered sensitive or naïve to proteasome inhibitors and received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy for multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma (MM) patients who develop bortezomib and lenalidomide-resistant disease have a very poor survival of only a median of 9 months, indicating that new agents are urgently needed. Recent studies have shown that daratumumab as a single agent is effective and well tolerated in these heavily pretreated MM patients. However, approximately 60% of patients do not achieve a partial response, and ultimately all patients will develop progressive disease during daratumumab therapy. The investigators have demonstrated that levels of the target antigen CD38, and expression levels of the complement inhibitory proteins CD55 and CD59 determine the susceptibility of the MM cells towards daratumumab. In addition, MM cells have lower CD38 expression levels and higher levels of CD55/CD59 at the time of progression. Importantly, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) upregulates CD38 levels and downregulates CD55/CD59 levels on MM cells, both in daratumumab naïve cells and in cells that are resistant to daratumumab because of previous exposure to this drug. These alterations in expression explain the strong synergy between ATRA and daratumumab, both in MM cells derived from daratumumab naïve patients and from patients with daratumumab-refractory disease. These data form the preclinical rationale for clinical evaluation of ATRA and daratumumab in MM patients.
This protocol seeks to enroll smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significant (MGUS) patients with λ light chain (LC) involvement, a group of patients for whom standard of care is observation not treatment. Patients with SMM and MGUS have a precursor plasma cell disorder from which light chain amyloidosis (AL) can evolve. In this trial, enrolled subjects will have blood and if available bone marrow cells evaluated by molecular testing to determine their clonal λ LC variable region (VL) germline gene. Seventy percent of AL cases involve just 7 germline donors, 5 of which are λ germline donors. The hypothesis that will be tested with this protocol is that the presence of AL germline genes associated with AL in patients with a pre-existing diagnosis of λ SMM or λ MGUS indicates the presence of AL or risk of progression to AL.
