Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

Primary Objectives: To determine the maximum tolerated dose of SAR650984 (isatuximab) with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (LD) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Expansion Phase Only: To further evaluate preliminary evidence of antitumor activity (objective response rate [ORR]) of SAR650984 (isatuximab) in combination with LD using International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the safety, including immunogenicity, of SAR650984 (isatuximab) in combination with LD in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The severity, frequency and incidence of all toxicities will be assessed. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of SAR650984 (isatuximab) when administered in combination with LD and the PK of lenalidomide in combination with SAR650984 and dexamethasone. To assess the relationship between clinical (adverse event [AE] and/or tumor response) effects and pharmacologic parameters (PK/pharmacodynamics), and/or biologic (correlative laboratory) results. For the dose expansion phase, estimate the activity (ORR) using IMWG defined response criteria of SAR650984 (isatuximab) plus LD. To describe progression-free survival (PFS) in patients treated with this combination.

The purpose of this post marketing study is to determine the plasma concentration of bortezomib (unchanged drug) to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK - the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) properties in the Taiwanese population. It will also provide expanded access (expanded access, sometimes called "compassionate use," is the use of an investigational drug outside of a clinical trial to treat a participant with a serious or immediately life-threatening disease or condition who has no comparable or satisfactory alternative treatment options) to bortezomib for the same group of participants with multiple myeloma (cancer of the types of cells normally found in bone marrow).

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if minocycline can help reduce the symptoms reported by patients with MM who receive therapy with lenalidomide. Minocycline is an antibiotic and has been shown to interrupt pro-inflammatory cytokine production, which may help to reduce multiple symptoms.

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial to obtain preliminary data for the design of a future definitive efficacy study. A randomized controlled trial is needed because comparison to historical data would be biased. The investigators will use sham acupuncture as the control to account for effect from attention from and interaction with the therapist.

This pilot study will investigate the impact of dexamethasone (DEX) on anti-Xa levels in participants taking apixaban 2.5 mg twice a day by mouth (PO BID). Investigators propose a prospective, cohort study of 24 participants with multiple myeloma, in whom a lenalidomide-dexamethasone (LEN-DEX)-based myeloma treatment regimen is indicated. Eligible participants will initiate thromboprophylaxis with apixaban prior to starting their DEX-containing regimen and continue until the end of cycle 3. Anti-Xa levels, D-Dimer and plasma drug concentration will be measured. This pilot study looks to investigate this potential interaction between apixaban and dexamethasone to see if it warrants further investigation in a larger study. The sample size of 24 provides 90% power to detect a primary outcome of ≥ 50% reduction in peak anti-Xa levels from baseline. Secondary outcomes include changes in plasma apixaban levels, D-dimer, and symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding during a 3-month treatment period.

Multiple myeloma (MM) patients who develop bortezomib and lenalidomide-resistant disease have a very poor survival of only a median of 9 months, indicating that new agents are urgently needed. Recent studies have shown that daratumumab as a single agent is effective and well tolerated in these heavily pretreated MM patients. However, approximately 60% of patients do not achieve a partial response, and ultimately all patients will develop progressive disease during daratumumab therapy. The investigators have demonstrated that levels of the target antigen CD38, and expression levels of the complement inhibitory proteins CD55 and CD59 determine the susceptibility of the MM cells towards daratumumab. In addition, MM cells have lower CD38 expression levels and higher levels of CD55/CD59 at the time of progression. Importantly, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) upregulates CD38 levels and downregulates CD55/CD59 levels on MM cells, both in daratumumab naïve cells and in cells that are resistant to daratumumab because of previous exposure to this drug. These alterations in expression explain the strong synergy between ATRA and daratumumab, both in MM cells derived from daratumumab naïve patients and from patients with daratumumab-refractory disease. These data form the preclinical rationale for clinical evaluation of ATRA and daratumumab in MM patients.

This was a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of venetoclax plus bortezomib and dexamethasone in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who are considered sensitive or naïve to proteasome inhibitors and received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy for multiple myeloma.

Study CRB-401 is a 2-part, non-randomized, open label, multi-site Phase 1 study of bb2121 in adults with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM).

The study had the following primary objectives: Phase 1: to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of once-weekly (QW) carfilzomib and dexamethasone for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received 1 to 3 prior therapies Phase 2: to estimate the overall response rate (ORR) for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who received 1 to 3 prior therapies treated with carfilzomib and dexamethasone QW at the MTD established in phase 1.

This is a dose finding pilot study to evaluate the safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose of the combination of carfilzomib and cyclophosphamide with dexamethasone (Car-Cy-Dex) prior to autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in patients with newly diagnosed transplant eligible multiple myeloma.
