NCT ID: NCT00306813 Completed - Clinical trials for Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Evaluation of Lenalidomide, Doxorubicin and Dexamethasone (RAD) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Start date: September 2004
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a multi-center, open label, uncontrolled, non-comparative phase I/II study in patients with refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma who are eligible for second, third, or fourth line therapy. Patients will be enrolled sequentially into four dose cohorts. The feasibility of administrating Revlimid (R) in combination with Doxorubicin and Dexamethasone (AD) and the MTD of the combination will be determined in the phase I part of the study (Part A). When the MTD has been established, the efficacy of the combination will be further evaluated in the phase II part of the study Part B)

NCT ID: NCT00303797 Completed - Clinical trials for Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

Sorafenib and Bortezomib in Treating Patients With Advanced Cancer

Start date: December 2005
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sorafenib and bortezomib in treating patients with advanced cancer. Sorafenib and bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib may also stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the cancer

NCT ID: NCT00253578 Completed - Clinical trials for Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Sorafenib in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Start date: March 2006
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Sorafenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer

NCT ID: NCT00217438 Completed - Clinical trials for Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Melphalan and Amifostine Followed By One or Two Autologous or Syngeneic Stem Cell Transplants and Maintenance Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage II-III Multiple Myeloma

Start date: July 2005
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy drugs, such as melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Chemoprotective drugs, such as amifostine, may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. Giving chemotherapy with a peripheral stem cell transplant once or twice, using stem cells from the patient or an identical brother or sister, may allow more chemotherapy to be given so more cancer cells are killed. Giving maintenance therapy after a stem cell transplant may kill any cancer cells that remain. It is not yet known which dose of melphalan is more effective in treating multiple myeloma (MM). PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different doses of melphalan to compare how well they work when given together with amifostine followed by one or two autologous or syngeneic stem cell transplants and maintenance therapy in treating patients with stage II-III MM

NCT ID: NCT00182663 Completed - Clinical trials for Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Thalidomide, Dexamethasone, and Clarithromycin in Treating Patients With Multiple Myeloma Previously Treated With Transplant

Start date: June 2003
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well giving thalidomide, dexamethasone, and clarithromycin together works in treating patients with multiple myeloma previously treated with transplant. Biological therapies, such as thalidomide and clarithromycin, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Dexamethasone also works in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving thalidomide together with dexamethasone and clarithromycin after a transplant may be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma

NCT ID: NCT00153933 Completed - Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trials

Bortezomib in Combination With CC-5013 in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Start date: August 2004
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose if this study is to evaluate the side effects of the combination of bortezomib and Revlimid (CC-5013) in patients with relapsed and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

NCT ID: NCT00124605 Completed - Clinical trials for Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

Arsenic Trioxide and Pamidronate in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Multiple Myeloma

Start date: April 2005
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as arsenic trioxide and pamidronate, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Arsenic trioxide and pamidronate may also stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Pamidronate may also stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Giving arsenic trioxide together with pamidronate may kill more cancer cells. This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of arsenic trioxide and pamidronate in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or multiple myeloma

NCT ID: NCT00118170 Completed - Clinical trials for Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

Sorafenib in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Solid Tumors, Multiple Myeloma, or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma With or Without Impaired Liver or Kidney Function

Start date: October 2004
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sorafenib in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors, multiple myeloma, or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with or without impaired liver or kidney function. Sorafenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Sorafenib may have different effects in patients who have changes in their liver or kidney function

NCT ID: NCT00112827 Completed - Clinical trials for Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Melphalan and Radiation Therapy Followed By Lenalidomide in Treating Patients Who Are Undergoing Autologous Stem Cell Transplant for Stage I, Stage II, or Stage III Multiple Myeloma

Start date: November 2004
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Melphalan, a chemotherapeutic agent, has been found to be an effective treatment choice for destroying myeloma cells, especially when given at high (bone marrow ablative) doses. Total marrow irradiation (TMI)/ablative dose radiation therapy is another modality capable of destroying myeloma cells. Autologous peripheral blood/stem cell transplant (ASCT) given after either melphalan or following TMI (aimed at the bone marrow containing areas of the skeleton, the site of origin of myeloma cells) will shorten the duration/alleviate the severity of both melphalan and marrow irradiation-associated side effects. Lenalidomide, an effective agent on its own right for the treatment of myeloma, has been shown to further enhance the beneficial effects of autologous stem cell transplants when given as maintenance therapy. PURPOSE: This previously phase I trial established the maximum tolerated dose of TMI at 1600 cGy. The phase II part of this study is ongoing and is studying the effects of high-dose melphalan and ASCT, followed by TMI and a second ASCT, with subsequent maintenance lenalidomide. The study is conducted in patients with stages I-III myeloma, with specific emphasis on assessing complete and very good partial response rate conversions, progression-free and overall survival, and safety/feasibility of delivering the planned treatment regimen.

NCT ID: NCT00089011 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate Mofetil in Preventing Graft-Versus-Host Disease in Patients Who Have Undergone Total-Body Irradiation With or Without Fludarabine Phosphate Followed by Donor Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant for Hematologic Cancer

Start date: April 2004
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil works in preventing graft-versus-host disease in patients who have undergone total-body irradiation (TBI) with or without fludarabine phosphate followed by donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer. Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, and TBI before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.
