Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

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.

The AfFIRM Study is a Phase 2 study during which patients with advanced multiple myeloma will receive single-agent investigational study drug filanesib (ARRY-520). Patients will be followed to determine the effectiveness of filanesib in treating myeloma. Approximately 160 patients from North America and Europe will be enrolled in this study. Eligible patients will have received at least two prior lines of therapy; have received prior bortezomib and lenalidomide; and have disease refractory to carfilzomib and/or pomalidomide.

A MULTICENTER PHASE 1/2B STUDY OF THE BRUTON'S TYROSINE KINASE INHIBITOR, IBRUTINIB (PCI-32765), IN COMBINATION WITH CARFILZOMIB (KYPROLIS™) IN SUBJECTS WITH RELAPSED OR RELAPSED AND REFRACTORY MULTIPLE MYELOMA

This is a phase 2, multicenter, open-label study in patients with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) who have not received prior systemic treatment for multiple myeloma (MM) and who are ineligible for high-dose therapy (HDT)-stem cell transplantation (SCT) due to age (ie, ≥ 65 years) or comorbid disease(s) or with Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM).

This is a Phase 2b, single-arm, open-label, multicenter study of selinexor 80 mg plus dexamethasone 20 mg (Sd) dosed twice weekly in four-week cycles, in patients with penta-refractory MM (Parts 1 and 2) or quad refractory MM (Part 1 only).

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of ixazomib maintenance therapy on progression free survival (PFS) compared with placebo, in participants with NDMM who have had a major response (complete response [CR], very good partial response [VGPR], or partial response [PR]) to initial therapy and who have not undergone SCT.

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, randomized, 2-stage crossover study consisting of 2 phases: Stage I - Pharmacokinetics (Bioequivalence), with an Extension Stage II - Pharmacokinetics (Food Effect) with an Extension This study will enroll approximately 60 subjects in stage I and 60 subjects in stage II with hematologic or solid tumor malignancies, excluding gastrointestinal tumors and tumors that have originated or metastasized to the liver for which no standard treatment exists or have progressed or recurred following prior therapy. Subjects must not be eligible for therapy of higher curative potential where an alternative treatment has been shown to prolong survival in an analogous population. Approximately 23 sites in the US and 2 in Canada will participate in this study.

Trial objectives: To decide whether the addition of nelfinavir to the approved antimyeloma therapy with bortezomib and dexamethasone has sufficient activity in proteasome inhibitor-resistant myeloma patients to merit further clinical investigation in a prospective controlled trial. Additional research questions: To collect myeloma cell samples from proteasome inhibitor-resistant myeloma patients for the assessment of the biology of proteasome inhibitor resistance and the identification of predictive markers for response to nelfinavir-based antimyeloma therapy.

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.

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.
