Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

Patients with Multiple Myeloma will undergo single timepoint Positron Emission Tomography imaging with intravenously injected C11 Methionine to detect viable lesions.

Investigators are doing this study to determine which of four imaging techniques: Fludeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (18 FDG PET) computerized tomography (CT), 18 FDG PET Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), C-11 acetate PET CT, and C-11 acetate PET MRI) is the best test for finding sites of active myeloma disease.

Primary Objective: A. To determine whether stable allogeneic hematopoietic engraftment can be safely established in patients receiving a non-myeloablative allogeneic SCT from a matched sibling donor, with fludarabine and low-dose TBI, with pre- and post-transplant immunosuppression with tacrolimus and MMF. B. To evaluate the incidence of grade II-IV GVHD associated with this treatment.

To evaluate if hyper-fractionated TBI or TMLI followed by Treg/Tcon adoptive immunotherapy improve cGvHD/disease free survival after allogeneic HSCT in patients affected by high-risk acute leukemias or other hematologic malignancy where HSCT is indicated.

This study is an extension to younger patients of the currently ongoing national, multicenter, open-label, randomized phase III HAPLOMUDELDERLY which evaluates elderly patients with hematological malignancies, justifying an allo-HSCT from an alternative donor when a MRD has not been identified. It will extend the investigation of these two modalities of allo-HSCT to younger patients which are eligible to RIC.

This study evaluates the ability of a prototype intraoperative handheld gamma camera (pIHGC) to image (detect) sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in melanoma and breast cancer during surgical excision, as compared to standard of care intraoperative gamma probes (GP). The unit of study in this trial was SNLs rather individual participants. Each device was assessed for relative node detection sensitivity (S) of those SLNs.

To determine the maximum tolerated dose of, and response to, PRLX 93936 as treatment for patients with relapsed or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography using carbon-11 acetate (ACT PET/CT) may help detect lesions before treatment and evaluate response following therapy in patients with from multiple myeloma (MM). This study aimed to prospectively assess the clinical utility of ACT PET/CT in MM as compared to the commonly used F18-fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG).

Comparing intermediate-dose CTX (ID-CTX)and G-CSF with rhTPO or without for peripheral blood stem cell mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma, try to find out whether rhTPO combined to ID-CTX + G-CSF could improve the results of peripheral blood stem cell mobilization.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome is superior to doxorubicin when combined with bortizomib and dexamethasone for treating patient with initially diagnosed multiple myeloma.
