Filter by:This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of panobinostat and everolimus when given together and to see how well they work in treating patients with multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back. Panobinostat and everolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Bendamustine (TREANDA™), in combination with Melphalan in subjects with multiple myeloma who are undergoing an Autologous Stem Cell Transplant.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to evaluate the safety of cyclophosphamide when given on days 1 and 8 in a 28 day cycle in doses starting at 300mg ranging to 700mg in combination with Lenalidomide (Revlimid®) plus dexamethasone in patients who present with relapsed or refractory myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of CNTO 328 (siltuximab) when it is administered together with velcade-melphalan-prednisone (VMP) in comparison with VMP alone in participants with multiple myeloma (a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow).
Purpose of this non-interventional study is the documentation of efficacy and safety data of multiple myeloma therapy with a combined treatment of Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in daily routine practice.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the predictive role of free Kappa/Lambda ration in Multiple Myeloma post-transplant.
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and safety of adding cyclophosphamide or lenalidomide to the VD combination in the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma that have achieved a stable response after 4 initial cycles of treatment with VD. Multiple myeloma is the second most common cancer of the blood. Bortezomib disrupts the life cycle of the cell, affecting numerous biologic pathways, including those related to growth and survival of cancer cells.
This protocol (in patients aged 65 and over suffering from previously untreated multiple myeloma), represents the first worldwide, pharmacogenomic study on this scale in terms of the number of patients analyzed and the implemented molecular diagnostics resources. The goal is to be able to identify patients who will best respond to the study treatments or experience the fewest associated side effects and improve prognosis, in order to optimize care management in multiple myeloma. To this end, the study seeks to predict the following parameters in these patients: - The treatment response and occurrence of adverse events linked to a lenalidomide-dexamethasone combination or a melphalan-prednisone-thalidomide combination. - Progression-free survival and overall survival. Prediction of the treatment response and the occurrence of adverse effects will be based on: - An analysis of constitutive genetic traits linked to single nucleotide polymorphisms and DNA copy number variations. - An analysis of changes in the tumor's genotype (change in the DNA copy number) and phenotype (altered gene and micro-RNA expression). Prediction of progression-free survival and overall survival will be based on an analysis of changes in the tumor's genotype and phenotype.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety of plerixafor and bortezomib, and the highest dose that can be given to people safely. Plerixafor appears to stop myeloma cells from attaching to bone marrow and has been used in other phase I studies for mobilization of stem cells for patients with myeloma and lymphoma. We have shown that the combination of plerixafor and bortezomib is very effective in killing myeloma cells in the laboratory more than the effect of each drug alone.
Plerixafor, administered at a dose of 240 ug/kg, potentiates the effect of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to increase peripheral blood progenitor cells in both healthy volunteers and cancer patients. Furthermore, in cancer patients, cells collected via apheresis using Plerixafor and G-CSF have been successfully transplanted. In December 2008, Plerixafor received approval from the Food and Drug administration for use in combination with G-CSF to aid in mobilization of progenitor cells for apheresis. The proposed study is not designed to support approval of a new indication or change in the advertising for Plerixafor. The route of administration and dosage level are identical to that which is listed on the package insert. Although Plerixafor is not approved for patients with Hodgkins Lymphoma, there is no known or theoretic increased risk of the use of this drug in this patient population. The study hypothesis for this study is that patients with a circulating CD34+ count < 20 cells/ul after 5 days of mobilization with G-CSF alone will achieve > or equal to 2 X 10(6)CD34+ cells/kg within 3 days of apheresis after receiving Plerixafor with G-CSF.
