Filter by:RATIONALE: Gathering information about how often methemoglobinemia occurs in young patients receiving dapsone for hematologic cancer or aplastic anemia may help doctors learn more about the disease and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at methemoglobinemia in young patients with hematologic cancer or aplastic anemia treated with dapsone.
The purpose of this study is to test IMGN901 in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone every 28 days.
Patients with stage-I multiple myeloma are treated with a vaccine made from their own immune cells (dendritic cells) and their own myeloma protein. Vaccinations are given on 5 occasions every 4 weeks. The aim is to induce an immune reaction against the malignant myeloma cells in order to slow down or cure the disease.
The purpose of the study in Phase I is to select the recommended dose of bortezomib in combination with melphalan and prednisolone in Japanese participants. In Phase II, to assess the effectiveness and safety of the recommended dose of bortezomib (selected in the phase I portion).
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects (good and bad) of the medication basiliximab in combination with cyclosporine (investigational therapy) for the prevention of a complication of bone marrow transplantation known as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). GVHD is a complication in which the cells of the transplanted bone marrow react against organs and tissues.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of bortezomib in combination with dexamethasone and zoledronic acid on bone mineral density (BMD) and skeletal related events (SREs) in Patients with Multiple Myeloma who Have Relapsed after 1-3 Prior Lines of Therapy
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of the combination of bortezomib and tipifarnib. Bortezomib (VELCADE) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of multiple myeloma patients who have received at least one prior therapy. Tipifarnib is not yet approved by the FDA and is an investigational drug. "Investigational" means that the drug is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. Because these drugs have not been used together before, it is not clear which dose of each agent is optimal when used in combination. This research study is a Phase I clinical trial. Phase I clinical trials test the safety of an investigational drug. Phase I studies also try to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drugs to use for further studies. The investigators will test the safety of BORTEZOMIB and TIPIFARNIB together and see what effects (good and bad) it has on you and your MULTIPLE MYELOMA, and to find the highest dose of both agents that can be given without causing severe side effects.
Extract from the mushroom Agaricus blazei Murill har been shown to have strong immunomodulating properties both in cell cultures, animal models and in humans. Furthermore antitumor properties have been shown in animal models, among them in mice with multiple myeloma. The investigators now want to investigate the effect of Agaricus as supplementary treatment in addition to chemotherapy in patients with multiple myeloma.
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of lenalidomide and thalidomide, and how well they work with dexamethasone in treating participants with multiple myeloma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, thalidomide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
RATIONALE: Studying immune response to flu vaccine in patients who have undergone a stem cell transplant may help doctors plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying flu vaccine to see how well it works in preventing infection in patients who have undergone a stem cell transplant and in healthy volunteers.
