Filter by:This phase I/II trial studies the safety of the combination of bortezomib, dexamethasone, and pembrolizumab with or without pelareorep in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not response to treatment (refractory). Chemotherapy drugs, such as bortezomib and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A virus modified in the laboratory, such as pelareorep, may be able to kill cancer cells without damaging normal cells. Giving the combination of bortezomib, dexamethasone, and pembrolizumab with pelareorep may work better in treating patient with multiple myeloma.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of MUC1-activated T cells in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) and is positive for expression of the MUC1 protein. T-cells are infection fighting blood cells that can kill cancer cells. MUC1-activated T-cells are made from the body's own T cells. The manufactured T-cells are made to target the MUC1 genetic marker and may help the body's immune system identify and kill cancer cells.
This phase I trial finds out the best dose and side effects of venetoclax and tocilizumab in treating patients with t(11;14) multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Tocilizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Tocilizumab is used to treat side effects from immune therapy in patients with myeloma. Giving venetoclax and tocilizumab may kill more cancer cells.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of actinium Ac 225-DOTA-daratumumab (225Ac-DOTA-daratumumab) in combination with daratumumab and indium In 111-DOTA-daratumumab (111In-DOTA-daratumumab) in treating patients with multiple myeloma that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or that has come back (recurrent). Daratumumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. 111In-DOTA-daratumumab and 225Ac-DOTA-daratumumab are forms of radioimmunotherapy in which a monoclonal antibody, daratumumab, has been linked to a radiotracer to allow for targeted delivery of the treatment to cancer cells. Giving all three together may kill more cancer cells.
This clinical trial investigates the effect of non-chemotherapeutic interventions in patients with multiple myeloma. Non-chemotherapeutic interventions such as physical activity and nutritional interventions (e.g., modifications in diet) have been shown to positively affect the immune system and improve overall quality of life. Another purpose of this study is for researchers to learn how the addition of a beta-blocker (propranolol) to the standard treatment regimen in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma affects immune response and quality of life. A study from the Mayo Clinic looked at multiple myeloma patients who were on a beta-blocker while undergoing chemotherapy and found that the use of a beta-blocker resulted in improved patient survival outcomes. Non-chemotherapeutic treatment options may help decrease symptoms and improve quality of life for patients with multiple myeloma.
This phase II trial studies the effect of immunomodulatory drug(s) in combination with a corticosteroid drug in treating patients with multiple myeloma or smoldering multiple myeloma. Immunomodulatory drugs such as lenalidomide and pomalidomide work through a variety of mechanisms to affect the function of the immune system. They are widely used as treatment for multiple myeloma and remain the backbone of therapy for both newly diagnosed patients and patients that have multiple myeloma that has come back after treatment (relapsed). Corticosteroid drugs like dexamethasone are strong anti-inflammatory agents that are also widely used to treat patients with multiple myeloma. This study may help doctors find out how patients respond to one treatment cycle of immunomodulatory drug(s) in combination with dexamethasone. This may help doctors determine which combinations of drugs work best in treating patients with multiple myeloma or smoldering multiple myeloma.
This phase II trial tests whether pembrolizumab works to shrink tumors in patients with multiple myeloma whose cancer has come back (relapsed) or did not respond to previous treatment (refractory) with anti-BCMA CAR-T therapies. Immunotherapy with pembrolizumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.
This phase I trial studies the possible benefits and side effects of adding panobinostat to a combination of daratumumab, bortezomib and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to treatment (refractory). Panobinostat may stop or slow multiple myeloma by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for cancer growth. Giving panobinostat in combination with daratumumab, bortezomib and dexamethasone may work better in treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and effect of belantamab mafodotin given together with lenalidomide and daratumumab in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed), does not respond to treatment (refractory) or for which the patient has not received treatment in the past (previously untreated). Belantamab mafodotin is a monoclonal antibody, called belantamab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called mafodotin. Belantamab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as BCMA receptors, and delivers mafodotin to kill them. Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug (altering the immune effects on the tumor cell). Daratumumab is a drug that is a monoclonal antibody that is directed towards a protein on the myeloma cell. Giving belantamab mafodotin together with lenalidomide and daratumumab may kill more cancer cells.
This phase II trial studies the effect of isatuximab, carfilzomib, and pomalidomide in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Isatuximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as pomalidomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving isatuximab, carfilzomib, and pomalidomide may help treat patients with multiple myeloma.
