Filter by:Some patients with multiple myeloma or lymphoma will need treatment with high dose chemotherapy to treat their condition. This potent treatment will kill many of the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow. The patient will therefore need these blood-forming cells replaced after the chemotherapy treatment. This is done by collecting some of teh patients own blood-forming stem cells before chemotherapy, storing them and then infusing them into the patient after chemotherapy (in the same way as a blood transfusion is given). The stem cells will then make their way unto the bone marrow and re-populate it. Having stem cells collected and returned later is called an "Autologous Transplant". In most patients these blood-forming stem cells (which normally live in the bone marrow) are "mobilized" into the blood stream where they are then collected by a process called apheresis (a bit like donating blood). This process of mobilization is not always successful. In this study patients who did not collect enough stem cells in a previous cell collection attempt to have an autologous stem cell transplant will participate. Patients will be mobilized with G-CSF (current standard treatment to mobilize stem cells) and the effect of adding AMD3100 to G-CSF will be studied by comparing outcomes in patients who get G-CDF with placebo (non-active substance which looks like AMD3100) to patients who get G-CSF with AMD3100. AMD3100 is a member of a new class of medications called "chemokine inhibitors". The drug triggers the movement of stem cells out of the bone marrow into the blood stream. In previous studies with healthy volunteers and cancer patients, when AMD3100 and G-CSF were used in combination, a greater number of stem cells were mobilized into the blood stream than by using g-CSF alone. The purposes of this study are to measure how many stem cells can be collected, the number of days to collect those cells and the safety of a mobilization regimen of AMD3100 with G-CSF compared to G-CSF with placebo. If enough cells are collected to have a transplant, the study will also evaluate how well the cells grow when transplanted.
This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase Ib study to be conducted at approximately eight sites in Europe and the U.S. designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and activity of SGN-40 when combined with bortezomib in patients with multiple myeloma that is relapsed or refractory after at least one prior systemic treatment regimen.
RATIONALE: Darbepoetin alfa may cause the body to make more red blood cells. Red blood cells contain iron that is needed to carry oxygen to the tissues. It is not yet known whether giving darbepoetin alfa (DA) together with intravenous iron or oral iron is more effective than giving darbepoetin alfa together with a placebo in treating anemia caused by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving darbepoetin alfa together with iron to see how well it works compared with giving darbepoetin alfa together with a placebo in treating anemia caused by chemotherapy in patients with cancer.
1. To evaluate the toxicity and safety of a combination of arsenic trioxide with ascorbic acid and high-dose Melphalan in patients with multiple myeloma 2. To evaluate the efficacy of a combination of arsenic trioxide with ascorbic acid and high-dose Melphalan in patients with multiple myeloma 3. To determine the effects of arsenic trioxide on melphalan pharmacokinetics
The objective of this study is to show that thalidomide at a dose of 100 mg/d (with remedial treatment with dexamethasone if a progression occurs) is equivalent in terms of efficacy with thalidomide at 400 mg/d (with remedial treatment with dexamethasone if a progression occurs) in the treatment of refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma after at least two courses of treatment. The use of thalidomide at 100 mg/d should reduce the side effects and improve the safety of the treatment.
A Pivotal Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of ExAblate Treatment of Metastatic Bone and Multiple Myeloma Tumors for the Palliation of Pain in Patients Who are not Candidates for Radiation Therapy
The purpose of this study is to evaluate three things. The first being whether azacitidine is absorbed in the body at the same rate or proportion for different concentrations. The second is to determine the effect renal impairment has or does not have on the absorption of azacitidine. The third is to determine if azacitidine is safe and well tolerated in patients with renal function impairment.
Multicentric study, open, single arm, designed to evaluate the efficacy(response rate and response duration) and security of a sequential scheme of treatment with Bortezomib in combination with Melfalan and Prednisone (V-MP) (patients > 75 years) or Bortezomib and Adriamycine in combination with Melfalan and Prednisone (VAMP) (patients <= 75 years) follow by Thalidomide in combination with Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone (TaCyDex) in patients with refractary or relapse multiple myeloma.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn whether higher doses of stem cells can help to decrease the symptoms that occur after melphalan. Another goal of the study is to see how the dose of infused stem cells affects the levels of certain proteins in your blood. Researchers also want to learn how the dose of stem cells that you receive affects the quality of your life during the weeks after the transplant procedure.
The purpose of this Phase I study of vorinostat in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) as estimated by the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) as estimated by the incidence of drug-related adverse events (AEs).
