Filter by:The primary purpose of this protocol is to create a registry of patients with plasma cell disorders (PCDs), including for example the cancer multiple myeloma (MM), who complete the assessment, previously known as a "geriatric assessment," as is outlined in this protocol. Secondary objectives include measuring the response rate to participation of patients in this study, assessing patient satisfaction with the questionnaire, and gathering information that would lend support for future research into these types of assessments in patients with PCDs. Additionally the study offers an optional blood draw to look at a genetic marker of aging called p16INK4a (IRB 15-1899, IRB 15-0244).
Randomized (2:1) multi-center open-label phase II trial. Patients with high-risk SMM will be enrolled on the study and treated with KRd combination (Cycles 1-9 carfilzomib 20/36 mg/m2, lenalidomide 25 mg, dexamethasone 20 mg cycles 1-4 and 10 mg cycles 5-9) or Rd combination (Cycles 1-9 lenalidomide 25 mg, dexamethasone 20 mg cycles 1-4 and 10 mg cycles 5-9); followed by extended lenalidomide dosing (10 mg days 1-21 of a 28 day cycle for 24 cycles).
This early phase I trial studies the side effects of personalized vaccine in treating patients with smoldering multiple myeloma. Vaccines made from a person's blood and bone marrow may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells.
The purpose of this study is to study the safety and preliminary efficacy of a dendritic cell DKK1 vaccine against myeloma. Dendritic cells are immune cells that are collected from the blood of the patient at Case Western Reserve Medical Center and then brought into contact with DKK1, a molecule that is present of myeloma cells but not to a significant amount on other cells except for the prostate and the placenta. It is an investigational (experimental) vaccine that based on studies in the laboratory and in mice is expected to work by presentation of DKK1 to anticancer immune cells via dendritic cells leading to an immune attack on myeloma cells. It is experimental because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether treatment with daratumumab administered subcutaneously (SC) prolongs progression-free survival (PFS) compared with active monitoring in participants with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM).
This study evaluates the use of carfilzomib, lenalidomide, daratumumab, and dexamethasone in subjects with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). Subjects will receive treatment in 3 phases - induction (6 cycles), consolidation (6 cycles), and maintenance (12 cycles). Each cycle is 28 days.
This research study is studying a drug as a possible treatment for Monoclonal Gammopathy of Unknown Significance (MGUS) or Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM). The drug involved in this study is: -Daratumumab
This is a multi-center, open label, phase II study designed to evaluate the efficacy of isatuximab with or without lenalidomide when given to patients with high risk smoldering multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this research study is to test whether the drug ibrutinib (trademark name: IMBRUVICA®) is effective at preventing the development of multiple myeloma in people who currently have smoldering myeloma. The researchers conducting this trial) have reason to believe that ibrutinib can delay the development of multiple myeloma, thus giving people who currently have smoldering myeloma a longer period of time when they feel healthy and well. Smoldering myeloma is an abnormal condition that is considered to be an early phase of the disease multiple myeloma. In this disorder, there is an abnormal growth of plasma cells, which is a type of blood cell found in the bone marrow. This growth is not as severe in people with smoldering myeloma as it is in multiple myeloma, so people with smoldering myeloma do not have any symptoms and tend to feel well. However, they have a higher risk of developing multiple myeloma than people in the general population. Some people with smoldering myeloma are at an especially high risk of developing myeloma - 50% of these people will develop multiple myeloma 2 years after they are diagnosed with smoldering myeloma. The investigators identify these people by looking at the amount of myeloma in the bone marrow (called "bone marrow plasma cell percentage") and the amount of myeloma protein (called "serum protein electrophoresis" and "serum free light chain assay") in the blood. To be considered high risk, individuals must have highly abnormal levels for these tests. Based upon current guidelines, people with smoldering myeloma do not require any treatment. However, known is that many of these people will develop multiple myeloma in the near future. Currently there have been no proven and effective way of preventing these people from developing multiple myeloma, which remains an incurable disease.
This research study is evaluating a new drug called "ixazomib" as a possible treatment for Smoldering Multiple Myeloma.
