Filter by:The purpose of this Phase 2 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with untreated multiple myeloma. This study will evaluate whether the addition of lenalidomide to bortezomib and dexamethasone will increase the Complete Response (CR)/ very good partial response (VGPR) rate before and after High Dose Therapy (HDT) with ASCT.
This is a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation Phase 1 study.
RATIONALE: Infection prophylaxis and management may help prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection caused by a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE:This clinical trial studies infection prophylaxis and management in treating cytomegalovirus infection in patients with hematologic malignancies previously treated with donor stem cell transplant.
Adherence (or compliance with) a medication regimen is generally defined as the extent to which patients take medication as prescribed by their health care providers. The adherence to medications has close relation to effectiveness of the therapy. The primary objective of this study is to observe the adherence to treatment with oral clodronate (PDC, proportion of days covered, number of days in which clodronate is taken according to treating physician recommendation) in patients with malignancy. The secondary "hypothesis generating" objective is to describe the relation between adherence to treatment with oral clodronate and efficacy of the therapy (skeletal events, pain).
Objective of this study is to determine if, in the era of novel drugs, high dose therapy (HDT) is still necessary in the initial management of multiple myeloma in younger patients. HDT as compared to conventional dose treatment would be considered superior if it significantly prolongs Progression-free survival (by at least 9 months).
This protocol is a single-arm, three-cohort, phase II multicenter study designed to assess the safety and the efficacy of three all-oral combinations: Velcade with continuous low-dose melphalan and prednisone (VMP) or with continuous low-dose cyclophosphamide and prednisone (VCP) or Velcade with low-dose prednisone could be effective and well tolerated (VP).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AT7519M alone or AT7519M plus bortezomib are effective treatments in patients with previously treated multiple myeloma.
This is a phase II study, open-label, single institution trial of pomalidomide in GEP-defined, high-risk relapsing/refractory multiple myeloma. Prior therapy must have included lenalidomide. Patient accrual is 30 over a 2 year period. Primary objective: - To determine progression-free survival (PFS) after initiation of pomalidomide therapy Secondary objective: - To determine the response rate (CR, n-CR, VGPR) and duration of response after pomalidomide therapy. - To determine gene expression profiling (GEP) changes exerted within 48 hours of initiation of daily pomalidomide dosing. - To determine gene expression profiling (GEP) changes exerted within 48 hours of initiation 3 concurrent days of exposure to lenalidomide. - To determine MRI- and PET-CT-defined CR in studies obtained at baseline and every 6 month examinations.
The main purpose of this first human study with CC-223 is to assess the safety and action of a new class of experimental drug (dual mTOR inhibitors) in patients with advanced tumors unresponsive to standard therapies and to determine the appropriate dose and tumor type for later-stage clinical trials.
RATIONALE: Giving high doses of chemotherapy drugs, such as busulfan and cyclophosphamide, before a donor bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine, methylprednisolone, and methotrexate after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies high-dose busulfan and high-dose cyclophosphamide followed by donor bone marrow transplant in treating patients with leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, multiple myeloma, or recurrent Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
