Filter by:Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplastic expansion of bone marrow plasma cells. Despite advances in treatment in recent years, MM is still a fatal disease. MM is characterized by the ability of malignant cells to produce large amounts of monoclonal immunoglobulin. The secretion of these immunoglobulins can be detected as the "M-protein" in serum, and the measurement of the M-component is used both for diagnosis and to evaluate treatment response and relapse. The high load of secreted proteins in MM cells requires a efficient way to clear these proteins from the cells and targeting protein degradation is an important therapeutic target in MM. This is today done by inhibiting the proteasome, one of the two central ways cells can degrade proteins, by drugs named proteasome inhibitors (including bortezomib, ixazomib and carfilzomib). Patients become resistant to these drugs, and it is therefore likely that myeloma cells also utilise another important system for protein degradation, called autophagy. Pre-clinical studies have shown that the combination of the proteasome inhibitor carfilzomib and the autophagy inhibitor hydroxychloroquine increases myeloma cell death and that hydroxychloroquine is able to reverse MM cell resistance to carfilzomib. This is the rationale for this study, where the investigators add the autophagy inhibitor hydroxychloroquine to a standard regime of carfilzomib and dexamethasone, to determine a maximum tolerated dose of this combination and to study tolerability.
The 3-drug therapy of Bortezomib-Melphalan-Prednisolone (VMP) is a standard therapy that is commonly used currently in South Korea as a first-line treatment for treatment-naïve patients with multiple myeloma who are ineligible for hematopoietic transplantation. Despite the fact that VMP therapy is outstanding in terms of cost-effectiveness, treatment discontinuation rates due to adverse drug reactions is high. In addition, when considering that the percentage of elderly patients aged 70 years or above in the target patient group is 20% or above, there have been attempts to devise a plan that can decrease side effects while maintaining effectiveness. For example, there have been previous reported cases of overseas applications of modified VMP therapies with reduced doses, but they have applied various combinations in terms of the total cycles, administration intervals, doses, etc. This study was planned to evaluate the overall safety and efficacy of VMP therapy by following up on the actual VMP therapies applied in domestic clinics, patient characteristics, side effect occurrences, administration discontinuation rates, survival data, etc., as well as to collect exploratory data for a more effective study of modified VMP therapies. This study was planned to evaluate the overall safety and efficacy of VMP therapy by following up on the actual VMP therapies applied in domestic clinics, patient characteristics, side effect occurrences, administration discontinuation rates, survival data, etc., as well as to collect exploratory data for a more effective study of modified VMP therapies.
This study aims to describe current treatment patterns in the real-world setting among patients with multiple myeloma who are initiating treatment with (or changing treatment to) panobinostat and explore the associations with baseline patient characteristics, healthcare resource utilization, and clinical outcomes.
Patients will receive intravenous (IV) NKTR-255 in 21 or 28 day treatment cycles. During the Part 1 dose escalation portion of the trial, patients will either receive NKTR-255 as monotherapy, NKTR-255 administered as a doublet with daratumumab subcutaneous (DARZALEX FASPRO TM), or NKTR-255 administered as a doublet with rituximab. After determination of the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of NKTR-255, NKTR-255 will be evaluated in Part 2. During the Part 2 dose expansion portion of the trial, patients will either receive NKTR-255 as monotherapy, NKTR-255 administered as a doublet with daratumumab subcutaneous (DARZALEX FASPRO TM), or NKTR-255 administered as a doublet with rituximab. This is a Phase 1 study to evaluate safety and tolerability of NKTR-255 alone and in combination with daratumumab or rituximab.
The main aim of this study is to see how people with MM respond to previous or current treatment. Participants will be treated according to their clinic's standard practice. Each participant will fill out a study questionnaire during a routine doctor visit. Information collected from past medical records will also be used.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic of Daratumumab subcutaneously in Chinese participants with relapsed or refractory Multiple Myeloma.
This trial studies how well exercise prescription works in improving quality of life in elderly patients with multiple myeloma. Engaging and adhering to an exercise program may improve functional status and quality of life and decrease pain and skeletal-related events. This study is being done to see if elderly patients with multiple myeloma can participate in a physical activity program.
This phase IV trial studies how well influenza vaccination works in preventing infections such as influenza in patients with plasma cell disorders. Influenza infections may theoretically support the growth of tumor cells and improving protection against influenza may improve the status of patients' plasma cell disorder. Giving influenza vaccination may reduce influenza-related complications including infections, hospitalizations, and deaths, and improve the status of plasma cell disorders.
Patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who failed to achieve at least a minimal response (MR) after 2 cycles or a partial response (PR), after 4 cycles of a bortezomib-containing therapy, or progress on therapy during first 4 cycles (response defined by international Myeloma Working Group [IMWG] criteria), will be treated with a quadruple regimen comprised of: Daratumumab 16 mg/Kg weekly during cycles 1-2, q14 days during cycles 3-6, thereafter monthly (1st dose cycle 1 may be split over 2 days); Once-weekly intravenous (IV) administration of Carfilzomib on days 1, 8, 15, of cycle numbers 1-9 and Days 1 and 15 only of cycle numbers 10-18, at a dose of 20 mg/m2 on day 1 of cycle 1; at dose of 56 mg/m2 on all subsequent once weekly dosing days, alongside concomitant treatment with twice-weekly IV or oral dexamethasone 20mg administered on Days 1-2, 8-9, 15-16, and 22-23 of a 28-day cycle, for cycles 1-2 followed by weekly 20 mg dexamethasone on subsequent cycles; and oral Lenalidomide 25 mg, administered on days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle. On treatment days that require both Carfilzomib and Daratumumab infusions, Carfilzomib will be administrated prior to Daratumumab administration. All patients will undergo frailty assessment based on IMWG recommendations, and will be classified as fit, intermediate-fit and frail. Frail patients will receive Lenalidomide dose adjustment to 15 mg (throughout the study, from cycle 1 and on), and dexamethasone at 10 mg x 2/week cycles 1-2 followed by 10 mg/week for subsequent cycles. The quadruple regimen will be administered for 18 cycles, followed by long-term follow-up in which patients will receive standard of care treatment with Lenalidomide/dexamethasone (Rd) treatment, unless disease progression, the physician decides otherwise, the patient suffers from unacceptable toxicity, withdraws consent, or dies (whichever occurs first).
