Filter by:This clinical trial studies peripheral blood hemapoietic stem cell mobilization with the combination of bortezomib and G-CSF (filgrastim) in multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients.
An observational study in evaluating the clinical impact of procalcitonin on the care of Stem cell transplant recipient and its performance as an adjunct in the diagnosis and prognostication of Infectious processes
The purpose of this research study is to describe a patients' fitness before and after treatment (whether that treatment be chemotherapy or a transplant). Fitness is a way of measuring a patient's current quality of health. With surveys, questionnaires and blood tests, we hope to create a tool that will give a good picture of patients' ability to tolerate treatment. In the future, we hope to devise the best treatment for a patient based on their "fitness".
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how a drug commonly used to treat multiple myeloma can affect the heart. In this study, the investigators will learn whether a drug called how a drug (called bortezomib, or Velcade) receive for multiple myeloma affects the heart. Bortezomib is part of the standard treatment and its effects on multiple myeloma is not being studied here. The investigators want to learn whether damage occurs to the heart after taking bortezomib for multiple myeloma, whether it is reversible, and we can predict damage to the heart before it occurs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pomalidomide in combination with dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.
This research study is evaluating a drug called meloxicam to see if it provides a benefit to people receiving Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT). The participant is currently scheduled to receive an AHSCT, which is a procedure that removes blood-forming stem cells (cells from which all blood cells develop) from the body. These stem cells are stored and later given back to the participant by a process called apheresis. This is a standard procedure to treat certain blood diseases such as lymphoma and multiple myeloma. However the use of meloxicam with this procedure is considered investigational. Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which is given to decrease fever, swelling and pain that may come with inflammation. It has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of arthritis however it has not been approved for use in people receiving AHSCT. This study will compare the combination of meloxicam with a drug called G-CSF (also called neupogen), to the combination of G-CSF with an agent that has no medicine (placebo). G-CSF is a substance that causes blood stem cells to change or increase in number when given to people undergoing AHSCT. The researchers would like to learn if giving meloxicam in combination with G-CSF to people before they undergo AHSCT will increase the number of stem cells available in the blood to collect and make the collection process easier.
This study is designed to define dose-limiting toxicity and determine preliminary evidence of efficacy of carfilzomib (CFZ) in combination with bendamustine and dexamethasone for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and dose regimen of daratumumab when administered in combination with various treatment regimens for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to see if the investigator can help the immune system to work against myeloma. This study will see if a vaccine made with altered dendritic cells will make T cells work against tumor cells. The stem cells collected for the transplant will also be used to grow dendritic cells in the lab. The dendritic cells will carry the antigens. These cells then will be injected under the skin. The investigators will do lab studies before and after the vaccination to find out if the vaccine is working.
This phase II trial studies how well trametinib and Akt inhibitor GSK2141795 work in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Trametinib and Akt inhibitor GSK2141795 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
