Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

RATIONALE: Bone marrow that has been treated to remove certain white blood cells may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and may reduce the chance of developing graft-versus-host disease following bone marrow transplantation. PURPOSE: Phase IV trial to study the incidence of graft-versus-host disease in patients who have hematologic cancer and who are undergoing bone marrow transplantation from a donor.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of peripheral stem cell transplantation plus combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have multiple myeloma.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of peripheral stem cell transplantation plus combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have multiple myeloma that has been treated for longer than 12 months.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining docetaxel, ifosfamide, and carboplatin followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients with refractory cancer.

RATIONALE: 4'-Iodo-4'-deoxydoxorubicin may improve organ dysfunction and ease symptoms caused by primary systemic amyloidosis. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of 4'-iodo-4'-deoxydoxorubicin in treating patients who have primary systemic amyloidosis.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining O6-benzylguanine with carmustine in treating patients who have previously untreated, refractory, or relapsing multiple myeloma.

In this study donor bone marrow transplantation is divided into a two step process to try to significantly reduce the side effects of the procedure yet still provide patients with multiple myeloma the benefits of this procedure

This is a prospective, interventional study administering 2 doses of the experimental vaccine (CMV-MVA Triplex) to 20 evaluable patients (10 CMV-seropositive and 10 seronegative) undergoing autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for lymphoma or myeloma on days 28 and 56 post-HCT. The absolute number of adaptive NK cells (CD56dimCD57+NKG2C+) at various days will be compared.

Study PT-112-102, a multicenter, open-label dose-finding and pharmacokinetic study of PT-112 in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. This is designed as a two-part study. In the first part of the study, cohorts of three patients (expanded to six patients in the event of a dose-limiting toxicity) will receive escalating doses of PT-112 until the MTD is reached, based on tolerability observed during the first 28 days of treatment. In the second part of the study, an expansion cohort of 14 patients will be treated at the recommended dose to confirm the tolerability of treatment and evaluate evidence of treatment efficacy.

This phase Ib trial studies side effects and best dose of pevonedistat when given together with ixazomib in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Pevonedistat and ixazomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
