Filter by:Clinically demonstrated efficacy of Melphalan and Prednisone in MM subjects as well as the confirmed inhibitory effect of dasatinib on several tyrosine kinase receptors and pathways implicated in the pathophysiology of MM. Additionally, as a SRC inhibitor, dasatinib plays an important role on bone metabolism through inhibition of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption in vitro. Dasatinib could, thus, be beneficial on bone density of patients on study, through blockage of osteolysis and control of bone lesions.
The purpose of this study is to test whether the addition of the drug plerixafor to treatment with chemotherapy and G-CSF can better activate your bone marrow stem cells to improve the chances of transplant. The study will look for the activation of a certain type of blood cell, called CD34+ cells in patients who receive plerixafor, chemotherapy and G-CSF. The investigators will follow the number of patients that achieve the target numbers of CD34+ cells. The number of patients achieving the target level of CD34+ cells, and the total number of CD34+ cells, will be compared to the numbers in previous studies testing just chemotherapy and G-CSF, without plerixafor. The investigators will also test the safety of the combination of plerixafor with chemotherapy and G-CSF and look at the success of the transplantation after 12 months.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination of Revlimid (lenalidomide) and high-dose Alkeran (melphalan) that can be given to patients with multiple myeloma who will receive an autologous stem cell transplantation. The safety of this combination therapy will also be studied.
The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of bendamustine, lenalidomide and dexamethasone will help people with multiple myeloma that has returned after standard treatment or has been resistant to other treatments.
To determine the efficacy of high-dose topotecan, cyclophosphamide and melphalan in patients with Multiple Myeloma.
The goal of this research study is to learn more about pain and other symptoms that patients may experience while receiving chemotherapy treatment with platinum agents, taxanes, and/or bortezomib.
The purpose of this study is to find out how many irradiated natural killer (NK) cells can be safely given to patients with cancer that has recurred after an autologous stem cell transplant, and to see what effects (good and bad) it has on the patient and their cancer. This research is being done because currently, there is no cure or effective treatment for blood-borne cancers when it has come back after an autologous stem cell transplant.
OBJECTIVES - Primary: To evaluate the bone anabolic effect of bortezomib in patients with smoldering myeloma. - Secondary: To evaluate the effect of bortezomib on the natural history of smoldering myeloma.
The purpose of this study is: 1. To establish the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of intravenous busulfan (Busulfan®) in combination with fludarabine as conditioning regimen for transplantation with in-vivo T-cell depletion. 2. To evaluate disease free and overall survival after this conditioning regimen in patients with advanced acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). 3. To evaluate potential pharmacogenomic determinants of toxicity of this regimen. 4. To evaluate potential pharmacogenomic determinants of efficacy of this regimen.
This is a clinical research study designed to evaluate whether the administration of a vaccine to patients after transplant consisting of a minor histocompatibility antigen (mHag peptide) mixed with G-CSF (a drug intended to stimulate the immune system) can stimulate increased graft versus leukemia (GVL) responses without causing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
