Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

This is a pilot feasibility trial among older adults (≥60y) scheduled to undergo Autologous Stem Cell transplantation at UAB. Participants will be randomized into either a prehabilitation program or an attention control group before their transplant. The primary outcomes will be feasibility and secondary outcomes include changes in physical function at the time of transplant and at 12 weeks follow up.

A Clinical Phase II, multicenter, Open-label study evaluating iNduction, consolidation and maintenance treatment with Isatuximab (SAR650984), Carfilzomib, LEnalidomide and Dexamethasone (I-KRd) in Primary diagnosed high-risk multiple myeloma paTients

This study seeks to determine if patients undergoing a bone marrow biopsy/aspiration (BMBA) procedure who receive distraction techniques have lower levels of distress and pain, and higher post-procedure satisfaction, compared to those receiving standard-of-care. Intervention 1 is guided meditation in a virtual reality (VR) headset. Intervention 2 is comprised of environmental changes to the room (via nature-themed decals) and music.

The purpose of this study is to monitor all patients exposed to an AUTO CAR T cell therapy for up to 15 years following their first AUTO CAR T cell therapy infusion.

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of venetoclax in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, daratumumab and dexamethasone, or daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Lenalidomide is a drug that is similar to thalidomide, and is used to treat multiple myeloma and certain types of anemia. Lenalidomide belongs to the family of drugs called angiogenesis inhibitors. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and cancer cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill cancer cells. Adding venetoclax to the other drug combinations may allow control of the cancer than is possible with the current treatments.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy with an estimated annual incidence of nearly 35,000 cases. While still considered an incurable disease, new treatments have improved outcomes dramatically over the last two decades. Around the turn of the millennium, classical cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiation were the only available treatment modalities and median OS was estimated at 2-3 years. Currently, there are now 17 FDA-approved anti-myeloma agents and median OS is approaching 10 years. More recently, next generation cellular and immune therapies are demonstrating unprecedented efficacy in highly refractory patients with otherwise a very short life expectancy. In this study, the starting dose of ixazomib will be reduced to 3mg, as this is the first FDA-recommended dose recommendation (from 4mg). The starting dose of mezigdomide will be 0.6mg. Frequent toxicity and AE monitoring as outlined in this trial (weekly in C1, every 2 weeks in C2-C4) asserts maximization of patient safety. Dexamethasone (DEX) will be dosed at 40mg weekly in patients < 75 years old and 20mg for patients > 76 years old. Additionally, the staring dose of DEX may be reduced to 20mg in any patient, per study provider discretion, based on several factors such frailty, prior adverse side effects or existing comorbidities.

200 adult patients with multiple myeloma receiving teclistamb will be included. Effectiveness, safety, and condition of use of teclistamab in early access program (post-MA) will be assessed. Primary objective is the evaluation of overall response rate (ORR) of teclistamab according to IMWG criteria. This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study.

To provide a comprehensive MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry method for detecting, characterizing, and quantifying M-protein, and to track M-protein in a very sensitive and specific manner during patient treatment, providing a more precise test for diagnosing disease and monitoring patient response to treatment.

The goal of this study is to determine whether a palliative care intervention (PEACE) can improve the quality of life and experiences of participants with Lymphoma, Leukemia, or Multiple Myeloma receiving adoptive cellular therapy (ACT). After completion of an open pilot, participants will be randomly assigned into one of two study intervention groups. The names of the study intervention groups involved in this study are: Palliative care (PEACE) plus usual oncology care Usual care (standard oncology care) Participation in this research study is expected to last for up to 2 years. It is expected that about 90 people will take part in this research study.

This is a multicenter, phase II, national, and open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different combinations, iberdomide-dexamethasone (IBERDEX) and iberdomide-dexamethasone in combination with daratumumab (IBERDARADEX) in transplant ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients. It will be ensured that at least 30% of the patients are frail in order to evaluate the feasibility of these combinations in this special population. Patients will receive treatment with either iberdomide + dexamethasone (IBERDEX) or iberdomide + daratumumab + dexamethasone (IBERDARADEX), until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, patient withdrawal, loss to follow-up, end of study or death, whichever comes first. This is not a randomized trial so eligible patients will be sequentially allocated to receive iberdomide-dexamethasone or iberdomide-dexamethasone plus daratumumab.
