Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of SRT501 (5.0 g) with or without concurrent bortezomib administration, when administered once daily in 21 day cycles, in male and female subjects with Multiple Myeloma. The purpose is also to define objective response (ORR, CR, PR, MR, SD) and time to progression (TTP) of SRT501 with or without concurrent bortezomib administered concurrently in male and female subjects with Multiple Myeloma. In addition, 15 subjects will participate in a sub-study to assess the pharmacokinetics of SRT501.
RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of bone marrow and blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors find better ways to treat the cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at natural killer cells in bone marrow and blood samples from patients with hematologic cancer and from patients who do not have cancer.
This is a phase 1 study to evaluate the safety and determine maximum tolerated dose, safety & tolerability of noscapine HCl in patients with advanced multiple myeloma
The proposed study is based on our observation of paradoxical tumor regression after rejection of the donor graft in conjunction with the results of our murine experiments. We hypothesize that clinically meaningful responses can be achieved in patients with advanced malignancies with a transplant strategy using nonmyeloablative conditioning and related mismatched donor stem cell transplant where the intention will be to initially achieve mixed chimerism which will be followed by recipient lymphocyte infusion (RLI) in an attempt to deliberately reject the donor graft. This will lead to the development of novel transplant strategies for achieving antitumor effects without the risk of graft versus host disease (GVHD). This proposed protocol is a Pilot Study that will evaluate the safety of this outpatient transplant strategy, i.e., establishment of initial mixed chimerism followed by RLI for donor graft rejection, in patients with advanced lymphomas, and multiple myeloma. In addition, because RLI have been reported to reverse ongoing GVHD, this approach might potentially reverse GVHD while achieving antitumor responses if this complication unexpectedly occurs.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about nausea and vomiting caused by cancer treatment. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at blood samples from patients with cancer who were treated on a clinical trial to control nausea and vomiting during donor stem cell transplant.
RATIONALE: Studying blood samples from cancer patients undergoing pain treatment in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about how pain drugs work in the body. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at fentanyl in patients with cancer.
Escalating doses of Omega 3 Fatty Acids are being used in patients who have early stage Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (ES-CLL), Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS), or Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM), whose disease does not currently require treatment. The primary aim of the study is to determine if the Omega 3 supplementation will help prevent or delay progression of the disease to a stage that requires treatment.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about T cells and plan better treatment for multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at T cells in blood and bone marrow samples from patients with multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma (MM) accounts for approximately 1% of all malignancies and 10% of hematological tumors, representing the second most frequently occurring hematological malignancy in the United States. At any one time, 50,000 people suffer from MM, and approximately 15,000 are diagnosed each year. The median age is approximately 65 years, although occasionally MM occurs in the second decade of life. Bortezomib and panobinostat intravenous (IV) are active agents in multiple myeloma and appear to work through different biochemical pathways, suggesting that there may be a synergistic effect using the combination. Both compounds have shown anabolic bone effect, which has been associated to significant anti-myeloma activity. Primary objectives: - To assess the toxicity of bortezomib combined with one of 4 doses of panobinostat IV in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, and - To find the most appropriate doses of bortezomib and panobinostat IV in the combination. Secondary objective: - To assess the effect of bortezomib in combination with panobinostat IV on inducing osteoblast activation in patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to determine the antitumor activity of PHA-739358 as single agent IV infusion in adult patients with Multiple Myeloma who have a history of at least 2 previous lines of treatment for the disease.
