Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics, efficacy of BIBF 1120, pharmacodynamics

Phase III multicenter randomized, open-label study comparing the efficacy of a combined high dose chemotherapy using melphalan and bortezomib versus melphalan alone followed by stem cell transplant in frontline multiple myeloma patients, non-progressive after induction therapy.

The trial is an open label Simon optimal two-stage Phase II trial of fixed doses of oral meloxicam and subcutaneous filgrastim to assess the safety and efficacy in mobilizing autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) from multiple myeloma (MM) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients planning to undergo high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell support. Clinical data regarding the cellular composition and function of the graft mobilized by this combination will be obtained.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the highest dose of a drug called bortezomib that can be given with a drug called G-CSF before stem cell collection to help in the mobilization of stem cells.

Open-label, sequential dose escalation and expansion study of CPI-0610 in patients with previously treated multiple myeloma. CPI-0610 is a small molecule inhibitor of bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the MEK inhibitor and the AKT inhibitor can be given in combination and if the combination is effective treatment for patients with solid tumors, including breast cancer and endometrial cancer, and for patients with multiple myeloma.

This is an open label Phase II study to determine the rate of improvement in response of patients with previously treated multiple myeloma to imetelstat alone or in combination with lenalidomide maintenance therapy. This study will include multiple myeloma patients who either have achieved disease stabilization or who have achieved at least a partial response (PR) but failed to achieve a complete response (CR) after cytoreductive therapy for multiple myeloma; ie, have detectable but non-progressing disease and will most likely relapse.

This phase II trial studies how well busulfan, melphalan, and bortezomib before first-line stem cell transplant works in treating patients with multiple myeloma. Giving chemotherapy before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant may stop the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.

Primary Objectives: Study Part 1: Determine the selected dose of AVE1642 administered every 3 weeks based on pharmacokinetic (PK) (Clearance of AVE1642), pharmacodynamic (PD) (insulin-like growth factor 1 [IGF-1] serum level) parameters, and eventual dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) in patients with recurrent, refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Study Part 2: Assess the safety of the combination of the selected dose of AVE1642 with the recommended dose of Velcade®. Secondary Objectives : Study Part 1: To assess the safety profile: type, incidence and intensity of drug related adverse events (AEs) To assess the biological activity of AVE1642 (saturation of the receptors and down-regulation) on malignant plasma cells and on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and granulocytes To assess the biological activity of AVE1642 on the signalization pathway of the IGF-1 system (phosphorylated akt [pAkt], phosphorylated erk [pErk]) on malignant plasma cells when technically possible To define PK profile of AVE1642, and its PD effects on serum IGF 1, GF 2 and IGFBP-3 To assess clinical efficacy (complete response [CR], partial response [PR], minimal response [MR] and stabilization) based on the European group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) criteria, when possible To assess potential immunogenicity by detection of human antihumanized antibodies (HAHA) anti-AVE1642 Study Part 2: To detect any PK or PD interaction between AVE1642 and Velcade® To assess clinical efficacy (CR, PR, MR, no change [NC]) according to EBMT criteria when appropriate To assess biological activity of AVE1642 in combination with Velcade® on malignant plasma cells collected from bone marrow aspirates: saturation and down-regulation of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) and activity on the signalization pathway of the IGF-1 system (pAkt, pErk) when feasible To detect immunogenicity reaction (HAHA) To characterize PK and PD profile of a low dose (0.5 mg/kg) of AVE1642 expected to be non biologically active

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of bortezomib on myeloma-related bone disease, analyzing bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with Multiple Myeloma (MMY) who have received high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation for primary treatment of MMY (single- or double-transplant). Eligible patients will be randomized (study treatment assigned by chance like flipping a coin) to either bortezomib or observation alone. Patients in the bortezomib arm will receive treatment of bortezomib for a total of 4 cycles. All subjects will be followed for a total of 24 months after randomization.
