Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the safety, efficacy and feasibility of the use of one standard dose of siltuximab prior to teclistamab infusion. Siltuximab is an investigational (experimental) drug that works by binding directly to human interleukin-6 (IL-6). IL-6 is a cytokine; these are products that are secreted by certain cells of the immune system and effect other cells in participant's body. IL-6 regulates immune, inflammatory and metabolic processes. Siltuximab has already been tested and approved for use by the FDA in participants with a condition called multicentric Castleman's disease, which is a lymphoproliferative disorder. This study is being conducted to investigate if administration of a single dose of siltuximab will reduce the rates of and severity of Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) and Immune effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS) in participants prior to teclistamab administration. CRS and ICANS are adverse effects commonly experienced by participants being treated with teclistamab that are related to inflammation in the body. Siltuximab is experimental because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for prophylactic use prior to administration of teclistamab infusion.
To learn about the relationship between changes in pupil size and reactivity and the start of neurological side effects in patients after receiving CAR-T cell therapy.
Memantine is a drug for the management of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) due to its promising neuroprotective properties. We hypothesize that Memantine possesses a beneficial role against chemotherapy-induced neuronal damages.
In this study, a 24-week randomized, sham-controlled, single-blind, multicenter clinical trial will be conducted to explore the effect of electroacupuncture for prevention and treatment of both acute and chronic neurotoxicity through both clinical and biological indicators.
Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most limiting side effects of chemotherapy and often leads to adaptations in the protocol of the chemotherapy including dose reduction or even discontinuation of treatment. In general, the symptoms of CIPN are sensory, often distributed in a "stocking and glove" manner, and include pain, tingling, and numbness. CIPN has a marked negative influence on quality of life of patients and their families. It may result in serious limitations in daily functioning and affect the enjoyment, social relationships, and ability to perform work. Current management of CIPN (i.e. prevention and treatment) includes dose reduction or delay of chemotherapy cycles and treatment discontinuation. Unfortunately, this reduces the chance of an effective cancer treatment. Current guidelines of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) on the Prevention and Management of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy do not conclusively recommend any agent for the prevention of CIPN. Due to the scarcity of drugs that are effective for preventing and treating CIPN, the distress of patients who suffer from CIPN, and the major societal and economic costs, new approaches and effective treatment strategies are required. The proposed trial is a parallel, double blind, placebo controlled, randomised, phase III superiority trial, aiming to determine whether treatment with SMP prevents incidence of or reduces the severity symptoms of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy, as compared to placebo.
