Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

A Phase I Study of CC-5013 in combination with Doxil, Vincristine and Decadron (DVd) in Subjects with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Some drugs have the ability to push stem cells (the cells responsible for producing new cell types) out of the bone marrow and into the blood stream. The steps involved in this process are still poorly understood. However, a better understanding of this process could lead to improved results in transplantation, cancer treatment, and contribute to the development of new genetic therapies for a wide variety of disorders. In this study researchers plan to compare two different treatments, both that mobilize (push) stem cells out of the bone marrow into the blood stream. In addition, researchers will attempt to determine which is the most efficient at mobilizing blood cells of patients with multiple myeloma. Information and knowledge gained from this study will help to design future transplantation and genetic therapy research studies.

This phase II trial studies how well stem cell transplant with or without tbo-filgrastim works in treating patients with multiple myeloma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Eliminating the use of tbo-filgrastim after transplant may still help maintain a similar time to discharge.

Enrolled participants health status will be tracked by using a mobile health-monitoring device while undergoing chemotherapy for multiple myeloma.

This is a phase I clinical trial. Patients with a diagnosis of multiple myeloma undergoing autologous transplantation will receive a preparative regimen of melphalan, bendamustine, and carfilzomib. We hypothesize that the addition of carfilzomib to a conditioning regimen of melphalan and bendamustine in the setting of autologous transplantation for multiple myeloma is feasible and safe.

The purpose of this study is to obtain bone marrow and peripheral blood samples, along with clinical data from patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM), Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (WM), Smoldering MM, and other lymphoplasmacytic lymphomas (LPL) including but not limited to MGUS and IgG or IgA LPL. These samples will become part of a tissue bank and will be used in ongoing studies to find out more about the causes and biology of MM, WM and LPL; to identify what factors result in normal cells becoming cancer; to determine how to improve treatment options; to study how the immune system identifies abnormal cells; and to evaluate the immune function in these diseases. The investigators will also study the tumor cells at the level of the participant's genes to develop treatment strategies as well as to better understand how biologic differences affect patient outcomes.

One purpose of this study is to find out if a new combination of immune system treatments (MAGE-A3 vaccine plus activated T-cells) will allow the body to build up protection ("immunity") against the myeloma cells. A second purpose is to find out how well this combination of immune system treatments is able to control the myeloma.

The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of bendamustine, lenalidomide and dexamethasone will help people with multiple myeloma that has returned after standard treatment or has been resistant to other treatments.

Main hypothesis: Patients who continue zoledronic acid after year 2 have longer time until progression in bone disease compared to patients who stop treatment after two years? Secondary hypothesis: Serum will bone markers increase prior to progression in bone disease in the individual patient? Secondary hypothesis: Low-dose CT will detect more cases of osteolytic bone disease in Multiple Myeloma compared to conventional radiography

This study compared two main different induction protocols used to treat myeloma eligible patients in Brazil. VCD against CTD.
