Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

This research study is studying a cancer vaccine called Dendritic Cell/MM Fusion vaccine (DC/MM vaccine) in combination with nivolumab, as a possible treatment for multiple myeloma (MM). The drugs involved in this study are: Dendritic Cell/MM Fusion vaccine (DC/MM vaccine) Nivolumab, an immunotherapy drug

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy (rate of very good partial response [VGPR] or better as best response as defined by the International Myeloma Working Group [IMWG] criteria) of daratumumab subcutaneous (Dara-SC) in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) with the efficacy of Kd in participants with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma who were previously exposed to daratumumab to evaluate daratumumab retreatment.

This was a multicenter study of the pharmacokinetics (PK) of melphalan during treatment with melflufen and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) and impaired renal function.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of carfilzomib in combination with dexamethasone

Background: - Plasma cell myeloma is a type of cancer that affects the plasma cells in the bone marrow. It can be difficult to treat with chemotherapy. One possible treatment combines chemotherapy with a stem cell transplant. To make this treatment more effective, researchers want to give another drug along with the transplant. This drug, carfilzomib, is often used to help treat plasma cell myeloma. However, it is not usually given along with the transplant. Researchers want to see if it is safe and effective to combine the stem cell transplant with carfilzomib, and if it improves the results of the transplant. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of carfilzomib given with stem cell transplant for plasma cell myeloma. Eligibility: - Individuals between 18 and 75 years of age who are having a stem cell transplant to treat plasma cell myeloma. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Imaging studies and a bone marrow biopsy will also be performed. Participants will have their own stem cells collected for the transplant. The transplant will be performed according to the standard of care. All participants will receive carfilzomib on the first 2 days after transplant. The study doctors will determine the number of additional doses that they may have. Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of simvastatin and zoledronic acid on M-protein and/or free light chains when added to conventional chemotherapy for the treatment of multiple myeloma patients.

Nestle Impact has shown efficacy in multiple surgical trials in relation to improving hospital length of stay and infection rate. 1 dose of Nestle Impact Advanced Recovery will be taken orally three times a day beginning on the morning following stem cell transplant and will continue until the day of hospital discharge.

This is an open label trial of Anti PD1/MD-3475, Pomalidomide and dexamethasone. The study will use standard (FDA approved) doses for both pomalidomide and dexamethasone. The experimental drug Anti PD-1 (MK 3475) given on days 1 and 14.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide and pidilizumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to treatment (refractory). Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pidilizumab, can block cancer growth by blocking the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide with pidilizumab may work better in treating relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

This phase I/II trial studies the safety and best dose of melphalan and bortezomib when given prior to an autologous stem cell transplant and to see how well they work in treating patients with multiple myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as melphalan, 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. Bortezomib may help melphalan work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving chemotherapy before an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant helps kill any cancer cells that are in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. More chemotherapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. Giving melphalan together with bortezomib prior to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant may be a better treatment for multiple myeloma.
