Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

This study will evaluate melflufen in combination with dexamethasone in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in whose disease is refractory to pomalidomide and/or an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. All patients in the study will be treated with melflufen on Day 1 and dexamethasone on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each 28-day cycle.

This is a single-arm, multicenter, Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen of daratumumab plus durvalumab (D2). The study will consist of 2 parts; Part 1 has a 2-stage design while Part 2 consists of an expansion phase. Subjects will receive intravenous (IV) DARA at 16 mg/kg on the same dosing schedule (weekly [QW], every 2 weeks [Q2W] or every 4 weeks [Q4W] of each 28-day cycle) received on their last prior therapy containing DARA. The dosing schedule for DARA may be adjusted during the course of the study as outlined in the protocol. Subjects will also receive IV DURVA at 1500 mg on Day 2 (Cycle 1) and on Day 1 (Cycles ≥ 2) of each 28-day treatment cycle.

This is a phase I trial with pilot expansion of HLA-haploidentical or HLA-mismatched related donor nicotinamide expanded-natural killer (NAM-NK) cell based therapy for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM) or relapsed/refractory CD20-positive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The primary endpoint of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of NAM-NK cells while maintaining safety.

Cancer related fatigue (CRF) is the most common cancer side effect and can severely interfere with activities of daily living long after completion of medical treatment. Pharmacologic agents to treat CRF have been studied but there is insufficient evidence to recommend their use. Non-pharmacological interventions for CRF have also been studied but are costly to implement and involve significant patient burden. This study investigates a novel low-cost/ low-burden intervention: systematic light exposure to treat CRF. Two hundred survivors of multiple myeloma and Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma between 1 month and 5 years post-autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) will be recruited from three medical centers. The light will be administered by a small, personal light glasses daily for 4 weeks. Outcomes will be assessed at five separate time points, including baseline and follow-up. The study will specifically address recommendations made for interventions for CRF from the NCI Clinical Trials Planning meeting (JNCI, 2013).The proposed study will: 1) be the first large multisite study with a carefully delineated comparison condition to investigate the effects of light on CRF among ASCT survivors; 2) focus on a distinct, homogenous patient population; 3) include only survivors who experience clinical levels of CRF; and 4) address possible psychological and biological mechanisms. This study will have major public health relevance as it will determine if an easy-to-deliver, inexpensive, and low patient burden intervention effectively reduces CRF.

The investigators propose to determine whether it is acceptable to patients with a diagnosis of multiple myeloma (a type of blood cancer that can cause bone weakness, pain and fatigue) to be offered and attend an exercise group before receiving an autologous stem cell transplantation (being given back one's own stem cells, following receipt of intensive chemotherapy, to enable bone marrow to start producing blood cells again). Exercise has been shown to be effective in reducing many of the side effects of myeloma and the treatment patients receive to manage the disease. Prehabilitation i.e. providing an intervention after diagnosis but before treatment begins has been effective in reducing the severity of side effects of treatment in cancer patients receiving surgery. No evidence exists for its use in patients with myeloma. Patients awaiting transplantation will be provided with information regarding the study and invited to join. Patients who agree to take part will attend the hospital for an assessment of their exercise capability and to complete one set of four questionnaires. They will receive an exercise booklet, advice and complete one attempt at their exercise programme under supervision of a physiotherapist. Patients will be requested to attend the gym for a minimum of six further weeks to complete their exercise programme. Patients will complete a repeat set of questionnaires and a repeat walking test six weeks after the first, on admission to hospital for their transplant and on the day they leave hospital. Some patients will be invited to discuss their opinions of the exercise programme and how useful they felt it was to them in preparing for their transplant. If the study shows that the exercise programme is acceptable to patients and we can recruit enough patients to test it in a larger trial, the investigators will apply for further funding.

The main aim of this study is to assess the ORR with a new drug combination, carfilzomib (CAR) + elotuzumab (ELO) + dexamethasone (CAR-ELO-Dex).

This phase II trial studies how well ixazomib citrate, pomalidomide, dexamethasone, and stem cell transplantation works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Giving chemotherapy, such as pomalidomide and dexamethasone, before a 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 ixazomib citrate in addition to pomalidomide, dexamethasone, and stem cell transplantation may work better in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of subcutaneous (SC) delivery of co-formulated daratumumab and rHuPH20 preparation (DARA SC) in Japanese participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM).

The study is an open-label Phase 1 single dose-escalation safety study of CAR2 Anti-CD38 A2 CAR-T Cells in patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma, who meet all other eligibility criteria.

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works when given together with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, 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. Giving pembrolizumab together with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma.
