Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of leflunomide in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Leflunomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of JNJ-54767414 (daratumumab) in Combination With Bortezomib and Dexamethasone (D-Vd) in Japanese participants with relapsed (the return of a medical problem) or refractory (not responding to treatment) multiple myeloma.

Trial in patients with newly diagnosed myeloma to evaluate the effect of elotuzumab in induction and consolidation therapy with bortezomib/lenalidomide/dexamethasone and in lenalidomide maintenance treatment

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and tolerability, describe the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD [in the absence of establishing the MTD]) for single agent MEDI2228 in adult subjects with multiple myeloma who are either transplant ineligible or post autologous stem cell transplant and are relapsed/refractory.

The purpose of the study is to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of once-weekly carfilzomib dosing in combination with dexamethasone to twice-weekly carfilzomib dosing in combination with dexamethasone in adults with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, previously treated with bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent (IMiD).

This protocol is a phase I/II multicenter study designed to assess the safety and the efficacy of the proposed combinations in relapsed and/or refractory Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of bortezomib versus thalidomide in reducing free light chains in the blood of myeloma patients. In addition participants will receive bendamustine (chemotherapy) and dexamethasone (steroids), which increase the effectiveness of both bortezomib and thalidomide. The trial will also study whether an earlier reduction of free light chains increases the chances of the kidneys recovering.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Lenalidomide/Dexamethasone + Elotuzumab in the subjects with newly diagnosed, previously untreated Multiple Myeloma (MM) in Japan.

This study is for patients that have multiple myeloma that has come back or relapsed and their condition indicates a procedure called an Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT). AHSCT is a procedure when stem cells from bone marrow or blood are removed before high-dose chemotherapy. Afterwards, the removed stem cells are put back into the patient's body to form a new population of blood cells. The high-dose chemotherapy administered before the AHSCT is called "Conditioning Therapy." The FDA has approved the use of the drug melphalan as a conditioning therapy. This research study will look at whether adding the study drug called carfilzomib will improve participant outcomes. Carfilzomib is considered investigational and is not approved by the FDA for the treatment of relapsed multiple myeloma. This study is divided into two phases. Phase I: Dose Escalation Phase: The main purpose of Part I of this study is to examine the safety of the study drug, carfilzomib, and determine the safest amount of the study drug that can be given to subjects who have multiple myeloma. Subjects on this study will receive different dose levels of the study drug. If you are one of the first three subjects to receive the study drug, it will be at what is called the 'starting dose' for the study which is the lowest dose that is expected to be tolerated based on prior research. After the first set of participants receive the study drug, the study doctor will review their health to see how they are tolerating the treatment. This will decide if the study drug dosage will be increased or decreased for the next set of subjects who join the study. It is anticipated that 12- 18 participants will enroll in the Phase I portion of this study. Phase II: Safety Confirmation Phase: Once the study doctor has discovered the highest possible dose of study drug that subjects can tolerate, up to 28 more subjects may be enrolled at that dose level. The main purpose of the Phase II portion of the study is look at how effective the combination of carfilzomib and melphalan when given before your stem cell transplantation is in treating multiple myeloma. This expansion phase will also include evaluation of two single agent carfilzomib maintenance therapy regimens for patients without disease progression at day 100.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving bortezomib with or without combination chemotherapy works as consolidation therapy in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who have completed stem cell transplant. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone, and lenalidomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving bortezomib is more effective with or without combination chemotherapy in the post transplant setting.
