Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

Evaluation of the effect iberdomide combined with low-dose cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a morbid disease associated with a poor outcome and while current therapies with new drugs have improved survival, MM still remains incurable in most patients. The only potential curative treatment remains allogeneic Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), as shown by our cohort of 92 newly diagnosed patients who received a sibling tandem auto-allo (HSCT) with an estimated 10-year progression free survival (PFS) of 43%. However, the high incidences of toxicities including chronic graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) (up to 79%) and disease progression (up to 49%) impair improvement in cure rate. Using umbilical cord blood (CB) as an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) could be superior biologically because of their increased proliferative capacity, greater number of progeny with longer telomeres and better anti-tumor efficacy in presence of positive residual disease. Moreover, using CB has been shown to decrease incidence of chronic GVHD. However, CBs have the disadvantage of having a limited HSC dose leading to prolonged cytopenia and higher risk of infections. In a first in-human trial using CB expanded with the ECT-001 (UM171) molecule (clinicaltrial.gov # NCT02668315), the median net expansion of HSC was 36 fold, which allows for the selection of better HLA matched CB regardless of their lower HSC dose. Moreover, the ECT-001 expanded CBs have a different cell composition than regular CBs, with more than 25% of dendritic cell precursors. This, combined to better HLA matched CBs, may reduce chronic GVHD incidence and improve immune reconstitution. To date, 22 patients received an ECT-001 expanded CB and the procedure proved to be safe and feasible. In this new trial, the goal is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ECT-001 expanded CB transplant in high risk MM patients.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable malignancy and accounts for 1 percentage (%) of all cancers and for 10% of all hematologic malignancies. Participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) will be included in this study, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of belantamab mafodotin (GSK2857916) monotherapy. Participants will be treated with belantamab mafodotin monotherapy until disease progression (PD) or unacceptable toxicity and will be followed for Progression Free Survival and Overall survival. The participants will be randomized to receive either frozen belantamab mafodotin at the dose of 2.5 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) or 3.4 mg/kg administered Intravenously (IV). There will be an independent cohort of participants who will receive a lyophilized configuration of belantamab mafodotin. For participants who discontinued from the study other than Progressive disease (PD), disease evaluation will continue to be performed at 3-week intervals until confirmed PD, death, start of a new anticancer treatment, withdrawal of consent, or end of the study whichever occurs first.

This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of ado-trastuzumab emtansine in patients whose cancer has a genetic change called HER2 amplification. Ado-trastuzumab emtansine is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug called DM1. Trastuzumab is a form of "targeted therapy", because it works by attaching itself to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors and delivers DM1 to kill them. Researchers hope to learn if the study drug will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.

This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of GSK2636771 in patients whose cancer has a genetic change called PTEN mutation or deletion. GSK2636771 may block a protein called PI3K-beta, which may be needed for growth of cancer cells that express PTEN mutations. Researchers hope to learn if GSK2636771 will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.

This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifiesay block the protein tyrosine kinase WEE1 the effects of AZD1775 in patients whose cancer has a genetic change called BRCA mutation. AZD1775 may block a protein called WEE1, which may be needed for growth of cancer cells that express BRCA mutations. Researchers hope to learn if AZD1775 will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.

This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of crizotinib in patients whose cancer has a genetic change called ALK rearrangement. Crizotinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the ALK protein which may be needed for cell growth. Researchers hope to learn if crizotinib will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.

This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of VS-6063 (defactinib) in patients whose cancer has a genetic change called NF2 mutation. Defactinib may block a protein called FAK, which may be needed for cancer cell growth when NF2 mutations are present. Researchers hope to learn if defactinib will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.

This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of trametinib in patients whose cancer has genetic changes called GNAQ or GNA11 mutations. Trametinib may block proteins called MEK1 and MEK2, which may be needed for cancer cell growth when GNAQ or GNA11 mutations are present. Researchers hope to learn if trametinib will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.

This is a global, open-label, multi-arm, multi-cohort, multi-center, phase 1/2 study to determine the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK of bb2121 in combination with other therapies in adult subjects with R/RMM. The following combinations will be Arm A will test bb2121 in combination with CC-220 (± low-dose dexamethasone) Arm B will test bb2121 in combination with BMS-986405 (JSMD194) Combination agents being tested may be administered before, concurrently with and/or following (ie, maintenance) bb2121 infusion. The study will consist of 2 parts: dose finding (Phase 1) and dose expansion (Phase 2). Dose expansion may occur in one or more arms.
