Filter by:The phase 2 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of bortezomib in combination with lenalidomide as maintenance therapy in high risk newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients who receive lenalidomide,bortezomib, and dexamethasone Combination as induction therapy.
This is a prospective pilot study, the primary aim of which is to determine whether the presence of 18F FLT imaging signal uptake abnormalities correlate with clinically validated evidence of hematopoietic malignant disease (e.g. MRD, molecular, flow or histology) after immunotherapy and other treatments.
This study evaluates the effects of a whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) training combined with individualized nutritional support on skeletal muscle mass, body composition, muscle strength/function, quality of life, fatigue, pain and gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with hematological malignancies 4-6 weeks before and 4-6 weeks after undergoing stem cell Transplantation. Within this context, this study also investigates the effect of the nutrition and exercise intervention on the period of hospitalization, period of White blood cell recovery and frequency and severity of complications (mucositis, Graft-versus-Host-Disease, infections) after stem cell Transplantation as consequences of the therapeutic immune Suppression.
The purpose of this study is to determine response rate after 8 cycles of D-KRd (daratumumab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide (Revlimid) and dexamethasone in patients with multiple myeloma.
The hospitalization for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) impairs the physical functioning and functional capacity, but aerobic physical training and, more recently, inspiratory muscle training, have shown benefits to patients' health submitted to this intervention. However, is not known the effect of aerobic physical training combined with inspiratory muscle training in hospitalized patients for HSCT. The purpose of the study will be verify the safety, feasibility and effects of the training association.
Plerixafor, is added to mobilizing chemotherapy and G-CSF to overcome poor stem cell mobilization. We want to demonstrate that half of the commonly prescribed dose can be safely administered once as a single dose in first attempt leading to apheresis yields of >2 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg body weight.
This registry has been established to gain a better understanding of the clinical and biological characteristics and outcome of patients with lymphoid cancer
To evaluate: - the incidence of venous thromboembolic event (VTE) - the incidence of hemorrhagic complications, In a population of patients with myeloma who are treated with IMiDs and require thromboprophylaxis for 6 months, using an oral anti-Xa anticoagulant, Apixaban, in a preventive scheme, 2.5 mg x2/day
RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of myeloma cells by blocking proteasome activity. Cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone may work in different ways to stop the growth of myeloma cells by stopping them from dividing or by killing the cells. Granulocyte Clone Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) possesses the ability to mobilize the plasma cells to detach from myeloma niche, so as to promote drug sensitivity. PURPOSE: This phase Ⅱ trial is to study how well combination of G-CSF, bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone works in treating patients with multiple myeloma.
Patients have a type of cancer called NHL, Multiple Myeloma (MM) or CLL that has come back or has not gone away after treatment. There is no standard treatment for the cancer at this time or the currently used treatments do not work completely in all cases like these. This is a gene transfer research study using special immune cells. The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease, antibodies and T cells, that investigators hope will work together. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from bacterial and other diseases. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including tumor cells. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers; they have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. The antibody used in this study recognizes a protein on the lymphoma, MM or CLL cells called kappa immunoglobulin. Antibodies can stick to lymphoma, MM or CLL cells when it recognizes the kappa molecules present on the tumor cells. For this study, the kappa antibody has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the T cells. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. These chimeric receptor-T cells seem to kill some of the tumor, but they don't last very long and so their chances of fighting the cancer are limited. In the laboratory, investigators found that T cells work better if they also add a protein that stimulates T cells to grow called CD28. By joining the anti-kappa antibody to the T cells and adding the CD28, the investigators expect to be able to make cells that will last for a longer time in the body (because of the presence of the CD28). They are hoping this will make the cells work better. Previously, when patients enrolled on this study, they were assigned to one of three different doses of the kappa-CD28 T cells. We found that all three dose levels are safe. Now, the plan is to give patients the highest dose that we tested. These chimeric T cells (kappa-CD28) are an investigational product not approved by the FDA.
