Filter by:Autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) is the standard of care for fit multiple myeloma (MM) patients; however, the first 100 days after SCT are marked by extensive life disruptions. We have found a 56% relative increase in the use of high-risk benzodiazepine and Z-class (B/Z) drugs for anxiety and insomnia among MM patients during this period. Digital life coaching (DLC), whereby trained coaches work longitudinally with patients through phone calls and text messages to accomplish personal goals, may be able to target anxiety and insomnia in a more integrative manner. This study will investigate whether peri-SCT DLC can lower B/Z usage and improve patient-reported well-being.
This study evaluates a new drug MGTA-145 in combination with plerixafor (Mozobil) to mobilize stem cells into the peripheral blood for collection by apheresis. The stem cells will be used for autologous stem cell transplant for treatment of multiple myeloma.
This trial investigates the effect of fermented milk supplementation on symptoms of disease and treatment in patients with multiple myeloma. Patients with multiple myeloma may experience symptoms related to the disease and/or treatment that affect quality of life. Supplementing usual diet with a probiotic fermented milk product called kefir may contribute to reducing disease and treatment-related side effects through changing the intestinal bacteria community structure and related metabolism.
This is a retrospective observational study of epidemiological surveillance, multicenter, non-profit, spontaneous, Italian on patients submitted to allo-HSCT among Italian Transplant Centers GITMO. This study will evaluate all consecutive adult patients who received novel drugs after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from related and unrelated donors between January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2018 in GITMO-affiliated Centers. This study will evaluate approximately 300 subjects (with competitive enrolment) from GITMO investigational centers.
Collect in an observational study the outcomes of COVID19 infection in MM patients across Europe.
The primary objective of this pilot study is to determine the safety and feasibility a 12-week virtually supported home-based aerobic and resistance exercise program progressing cancer survivors with Multiple Myeloma to meet standards identified in the 2019 Exercise Guidelines for Cancer Survivors. The protocol will be measuring recruitment, adherence, completion, cost tracking, as well as fitness and quality of life outcomes. The study will be a single-group prospective before and after study that will help inform a future larger-scale project. We will aim to recruit 25 participants. The Health Research Ethics Board of Alberta Cancer Committee will approve this study. Participants will participate in a combined resistance and aerobic exercise program biweekly for 12 weeks. Exercise sessions will be supported and progressive in nature, between 40 and 75 minutes each. Analyses: fitness testing and quality of life scales will be administered before and after the intervention. Scores will be compared to evaluate changes over the course of the intervention. Safety and feasibility information will be collected throughout the study and evaluated to determine program feasibility. Program satisfaction will be evaluated using a satisfaction survey.
Open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics and initial efficacy of AO-176 as monotherapy and in combination with dexamethasone and bortezomib in adults with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM).
This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of AZD4547 in patients whose cancer has genetic changes called FGFR gene alterations. AZD4547 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking FGFR proteins which may be needed for cell growth. Researchers hope to learn if AZD4547 will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.
This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of nivolumab in patients whose cancer has a genetic change called mismatch repair deficiency. Mismatch repair deficiency refers to cells that have mutations (changes) in certain genes that are involved in correcting mistakes made when DNA is copied in a cell. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells with mismatch repair deficiency to grow and spread. Researchers hope to learn if nivolumab will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.
To assess Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)-negative Complete Response (sCR) rate after consolidation treatment with Descartes-11 in patients with high-risk myeloma who have residual disease following induction therapy.
