Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as melphalan, arsenic trioxide, and ascorbic acid, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Arsenic trioxide and ascorbic acid may also help melphalan kill more cancer cells by making them more sensitive to the drugs. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving melphalan together with arsenic trioxide and ascorbic acid works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

The purpose of the study is to conduct a phase I study of adoptive immunotherapy with autologous, ex-vivo expanded cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells to reduce the relapse rate in autologous stem cell transplant patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the overall response rate (ORR) during induction therapy with the combination of ixazomib, thalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone in specific time points.

This phase II trial studies how well leflunomide works in treating patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma. Leflunomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This study will use the drug daratumumab in patients who did not achieve at least a very good partial response (VGPR) and are already planned to have an Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT). Daratumumab will be given before the stem cell collection to attempt to get rid of any multiple myeloma cells that may be present in the stem cell collection and after the ASCT to get rid of any multiple myeloma cells that may be remaining.

This is a multicenter, open-label phase II study, assessing the efficacy of elotuzumab in elderly patients with multiple myeloma undergoing peripheral stem cell autologous graft

This is a multi-centre phase I/II trial with an initial dose finding phase for cyclophosphamide and lenalidomide combined with fixed dose pembrolizumab for patients with relapsed or relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma (MM) that have had at least 1 prior line of therapy

This study has 2 parts: a Dose Escalation Part and a Dose Expansion Part. The goal of the Dose Escalation Part of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab and the standard of care (lenalidomide and dexamethasone) that can be given to patients with multiple myeloma (MM). The goal of the Dose Expansion Part of this clinical research study is to continue to study the safety of the highest tolerable dose found in Phase 1 of the study.

The food and drug administration (FDA) has approved the use of Selinexor, an oral, first-in class, exportin 1 (XPO1) inhibitor, in combination with low-dose dexamethasone in patients with triple-refractory (disease refractory to proteasome inhibitors (PI), immunomodulatory imid agents (IMiD), and anti-Cluster of Differentiation 38 (CD38) monoclonal antibodies (mAb)), or relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). SLAMF7 (human Signaling Lymphocyte Activation Molecule Family 7) is a receptor that is present on immune cells, NK (Natural Killer) cells, and plasma cells. Elotuzumab, a mAb directed against the extracellular domain of SLAMF7, is used in combination with an IMiD and dexamethasone to treat RRMM. In this clinical trial, the investigators are proposing the addition of Elotuzumab to Selinexor and low-dose dexamethasone (ESd) in RRMM, previously treated with one or a combination of PI's, IMiD's, and anti-CD38 mAb.

This is an open-label, dose escalation, Phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and other hematological malignancies
