Filter by:This is a single-group treatment, phase IV, open label study to assess the mobilization efficacy and safety of plerixafor in combination with G- CSF in male and female participants from 18 to 75 years of age with multiple myeloma for autologous transplantation. Study Duration-Screening-up to 30-day. Intervention and CD34+cells apheresis up-to 8 day. A follow up for 30 days (+7 days) post last dose of plerixafor, or the initiation of ablative chemotherapy, or the first dose of G-CSF administration in rescue procedure, whichever occurs earlier. Study duration up to 75 days. For treatment phase visit frequency-daily.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether autologous transplantation (using the patient's own stem cells from the blood), followed by non-myeloablative (i.e. less intense) allogeneic transplantation (where the blood stem cells from a sibling donor are used for the transplantation) improves the outcome in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a digital health coaching program for, and to describe quality of life of, individuals in the 6 months following chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. Up to 50 English-speaking individuals aged 18 and older who are to receive treatment with a CAR T cell therapy will be enrolled, all at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Participants must have internet access via smart phone, tablet, a computer, or another device with the capacity to receive calls, texts, or e-mails, as well as the electronic study assessments and will be excluded if they are unable to provide informed consent or have a prognosis of 6 months or less. Consented participants will be enrolled in a 6-month digital health coaching program delivered via weekly calls from a Health Advisor coupled with the digital delivery of content. The program focuses on identification and escalation of treatment-related toxicity, communication with providers, and physical and psychosocial health following treatment. Health related quality of life (HRQoL) will be assessed with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lymphoma (FACT-L), health self-efficacy will be assessed by the Cancer Behavior Inventory-Brief (CBI-B), physical and mental health outcomes will be measured by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Health 10. Patient experience in managing CAR T specific care will be assessed with a 5-item questionnaire developed specifically for use in this study, focused on participants' confidence in understanding, identifying and managing symptoms, and communicating with providers. Study outcomes will contribute to knowledge about if and how a digital health intervention may be used to support individuals post-CAR T cell therapy.
The trial is a feasibility study of a patient-reported outcome (PRO) monitoring for patients with multiple myeloma. Patients will report weekly PROs during treatment at our outpatient unit. The trial will describe the development of treatment-specific item lists to adequately capture relevant symptoms during therapy, evaluate the feasibility of the weekly symptom monitoring, and evaluate the healthcare professional usage of the system in clinical practice.
To determine whether protective antibody levels increase after booster dosing with the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in patients diagnosed with Hematologic Malignancies who have low antibody levels after a prior first vaccination with any of the SARS-CoV2 vaccines that were authorized for use in the USA. Researchers will also assess whether the booster dosing with the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is safe in patients with multiple myeloma, amyloidosis, or other blood cancers.
To determine if KRN125 is non-inferior to filgrastim for the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells into the peripheral blood in patients with multiple myeloma.
Myeloma is the second most common type of blood cancer in the United States. Myeloma most commonly affects older adults. While some younger individuals do get myeloma, the average age when people are first diagnosed with myeloma is around 69 to 70. Along with having a higher risk for myeloma, older adults have an increased chance of developing other health problems or issues. However, not everyone ages in the same way. Some older adults experience major changes in health or degree of independence at relatively younger ages, while others remain quite healthy for many years. The specific issues that develop with age can also vary from person to person. One older adult may face difficulties with vision or hearing, while another may develop memory problems. Historically, cancer doctors have not done a very good job identifying these non-cancer issues. As a result, research has focused on better ways to systematically pick up on issues that may impact cancer outcomes or quality of life. The outgrowth of this research is assessments and questionnaires referred to as "comprehensive geriatric assessments," which evaluate the health and functionality of older adults thoroughly but efficiently. In both myeloma and other types of cancer, problems identified through geriatric assessments have been shown to predict how likely people are to develop side effects of cancer treatment and predict how long people are likely to live with cancer. Prior research has not addressed how best to help with the issues picked up through a geriatric assessment among patients undergoing treatment for myeloma, although a number of effective interventions have been shown to benefit older adults with similar problems in other settings. Therefore, the current study will test a strategy of systematically screening older adults undergoing myeloma treatment for geriatric-assessment-related deficits and referring participants to appropriate services and resources. The geriatric assessment in this study includes tests of mobility, memory, vision, hearing, and nutrition as well as questions about symptoms and social support. Individuals who have deficits in one of these areas will be referred to relevant services and resources such as physical therapy, a pharmacist, or the cancer center support program. They will then repeat the same assessment three months later, and the results will be compared to their original assessment to see if the deficit has improved, with particular attention to mobility and social support.
The purpose the research is to obtain preliminary data about the change in fitness from admission to discharge in patients undergoing an Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) , assessed by the 6 minute walk test as the primary objective and the SF-36 as the secondary objective. All subjects will wear a Fitbit monitor while admitted for the ASCT to record their daily activity.
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the safety and dosing of the study drug, magrolimab, in combination with other anticancer therapies in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and effect of belantamab mafodotin given together with lenalidomide and daratumumab in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed), does not respond to treatment (refractory) or for which the patient has not received treatment in the past (previously untreated). Belantamab mafodotin is a monoclonal antibody, called belantamab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called mafodotin. Belantamab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as BCMA receptors, and delivers mafodotin to kill them. Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug (altering the immune effects on the tumor cell). Daratumumab is a drug that is a monoclonal antibody that is directed towards a protein on the myeloma cell. Giving belantamab mafodotin together with lenalidomide and daratumumab may kill more cancer cells.
