Filter by:Patients diagnosed with hematologic cancer are at substantial risk of dying, as 5-year survival among patients with acute myeloid leukemia is 20 % and only every second patient treated for incurable myeloma lives 5 years after date of diagnosis. Nevertheless, many overestimate their prognosis, and value of therapy. Patients with hematological cancers frequently have poor end of life outcomes, such as high treatment activity close to death, where clinical effects are doubtful, and low utilization of palliative care. Prognostic awareness and end of life (EOL) issues have urgency in the communication between patients, their caregiving relatives, and clinicians, in order to avoid futile treatments and suffering at EOL. Inspired by advanced care planning, the investigators developed the concept "Advance Consultations Concerning participants Life and Treatment" (ACT) in collaboration with a group consisting of hematologists, nurses, patients, and caregivers. The ACT concept consists of an 8-hour training day for clinicians, clinical tools, system changes, and preparation material for patients and caregivers prior to the consultation. ACT involves patients and caregivers earlier in preparation for life with chronic progressive disease and EOL-decisions, through an intervention based on compassionate communication and early planning of EOL-care. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of the intervention on use of chemotherapy and quality of EOL-care in patients with hematological malignancy. Based on the results of the completed pilot study, the investigators are planning a nationwide 2-arm cluster randomized controlled trial where 40 physicians and 80 nurses across seven different hematological departments are randomized to either usual care or ACT training and completing ACT conversations. The investigators expect to include a total of 400 patients and their family caregivers. It is hypothesized that the ACT intervention will decrease use of futile chemotherapy, prepare patients and caregivers for difficult end-of-life-decisions, and improve quality of end-of-life care in hematology.
This is an open-label Phase 1 study to estimate the safety and manufacturing feasibility of lentivirally transduced T cells expressing anti-CD38 chimeric antigen receptors expressing tandem TCRζ and 4-1BB (TCRζ /4-1BB) costimulatory domains in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Multiple Myeloma. This CAR T cell product will be referred to as "CART-38 cells".
The aim of this study was to evaluate SERUM neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, emerging indicator of tubular damage and examine their relationship with established measures of renal function (serum creatinine, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR) among MM patients with and without renal impairment (RI), and at various stages of MM progression.
This study is an investigator-initiated clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of melphalan hydrochloride for injection in patients with relapsed or relapsed refractory multiple myeloma. Using the "3 + 3" dose escalation principle, 3-6 subjects per dose were enrolled, depending on the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) observed in the first cycle of chemotherapy for each subject. After completing the 21-day assessment of the first cycle of chemotherapy, if there was no DLT, the study started for the next dose group.
The purpose of this study is to provide ongoing access to study treatments for participants with multiple myeloma or smoldering multiple myeloma benefiting from treatment in certain Janssen Research and Development (R&D) studies that use daratumumab as part of the study treatment regimen: access for all participants regardless of treatment group in daratumumab studies and access to participants in daratumumab-containing arms in the non-daratumumab studies will be allowed from studies which have reached clinical cutoff for final analysis. Certain long-term safety data will continue to be collected from study participants.
Similar to the paradigm established in other hematologic malignancies that are considered curable, the achievement of MRD(-) status is necessary for long term disease control in MM. The fact that the majority of patients remain MRD (+) after induction therapy and AHCT points to the opportunity to deploy novel agents with complementary mechanism of action and favorable toxicity profile to reach and maintain MRD (-) status. Given its favorable toxicity profile, the convenience of oral administration, and compelling single agent activity even in heavily pretreated MM, iberdomide is likely amenable to long term therapy in patients with high-risk of relapse/progression identified by the persistence of MRD(+). The investigators intend to develop combination(s) of iberdomide with other agents with complementary mechanism of action in the consolidation setting post AHCT in order to achieve and sustain MRD (-).
This is a multicenter, randomized controlled, open-label study, and the purpose of this study is to compare the efficiency and safety of PVD regimen (Pomalidomide & Bortezomib & Dexamethasone) versus VD regimen (Bortezomib & Dexamethasone) in NDMM patients with RI. The main efficacy indicator is VGPR after 4 cycles of induction therapy.
A sample of participants' T cells will be sent to a laboratory, where the cells will be made into the study therapy, MCARH109 and MCARH125. Participants will receive either MCARH125 alone or MCARH125 with MCARH109.
Clinical Trial for the safety and efficacy of BCMA-targeted CAR-T cells therapy for refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma
In patients with multiple myeloma-related acute kidney injury, compare the renal outcome of chemotherapy combined with HFR-SUPRA to chemotherapy combined with hemodialysis.
