Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

To carry out research on minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) based on plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) methylation sequencing, which aims to explore new MRD detection methods for MM; Carry out ctDNA-based methylation sequencing in newly diagnosed, remission, and, relapsed MM patients, to track the clonal evolution patterns; and explore the in the initial diagnosis-remission-relapse stage of MM, track the clonal evolution characteristics of methylation profiles in MM patients during the disease progression.

A randomized, comparative, double-blind trial of pentaisomaltose and dimethyl sulphoxide for cryoprotection of hematopoietic stem cells in subjects with multiple myeloma or malignant lymphoma with a need for autologous transplantation

Pomalidomide either as single therapy or in combination with cyclophosphamide, elotuzumab, bortezomib, or daratumumab are effective treatment regimens in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Standard dosing is 4 mg/day during 21 days of a 28-day cycle (21/28). However, a clear dose-response association for pomalidomide in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is lacking. There is data supporting that a dose of 2 mg/day continuously (28/28) induces fewer side effects while efficacy is preserved, compared to 4 mg/day continuously. The response in patients who received pomalidomide 2 mg per day compared to 4 mg per day was higher, with a longer duration of response. In addition, a randomized phase II study showed no difference in efficacy between 4 mg (21/28) and 4 mg continuously. These clinical studies support that a dosage of pomalidomide of 2 mg (28/28) is at least comparable with a dosage of 4 mg (21/28). It is not known if 4 mg every other day (EOD) is comparable to a dosage of pomalidomide 2 mg (28/28) or 4 mg every day (QD, 21/28). For cost reasons, this is interesting as the costs of pomalidomide 4 mg and 2 mg are comparable. Therefore, from a patient and societal perspective, the investigators want to explore if an alternative scheme would be possible by performing a PKPD bio-equivalence pilot study.

We propose to conduct an ancillary prospective evaluation of the impact of Dara-Len-Dex discontinuation after 2 years, on the persistence of MRD negativity in patients that were MRD negative at 2 years.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell cancer that almost all patients eventually relapse despite advancement in treatment strategies. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a cell surface receptor that expressed primarily by malignant and normal plasma cells. This study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerance CXCR4 modified BCMA CAR T cells in treating standard treatment failed refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma, and will follow dose-escalating cohorts. The efficacy of CXCR4 modified BCMA CAR T will also be investigated.

This is an observational case-control study to train and validate a genome-wide methylome enrichment platform to detect multiple cancer types and to differentiate amongst cancer types. The cancers included in this study are brain, breast, bladder, cervical, colorectal, endometrial, esophageal, gastric, head and neck, hepatobiliary, leukemia, lung, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, renal, sarcoma, and thyroid. These cancers were selected based on their prevalence and mortality to maximize impact on clinical care. Additionally, the ability of the whole-genome methylome enrichment platform to detect minimal residual disease after completion of cancer treatment and to detect relapse prior to clinical presentation will be evaluated in four cancer types (breast, colorectal, lung, prostate). These cancers were selected based on the existing clinical landscape and treatment availability.

The main aim of this study is to check side effects and results in adults with multiple myeloma after switching from a bortezomib-based to an Ixazomib-based treatment. Treatment with NINLARO® will strictly follow the product label.

This study assesses neurocognitive outcomes after receiving radiation therapy to the brain (whole brain radiation therapy) in patients with blood cancers (hematologic malignancies). This may help researchers learn more about the effects of whole brain radiation therapy on memory and thinking in patients with blood cancer.

The aim of this observational study is the creation of a national multiple myeloma registry to monitor the current routine clinical practice in Italy and describe the standard of care adopted for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with multiple myeloma in the different Italian hematology centers.

This study will test whether a plant-based diet is practical (feasible) for overweight people with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) or smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). The researchers will decide how practical the diet is by looking at how much weight participants lose and how well they are able to stick to the diet. The researchers will also determine whether the diet is effective in preventing multiple myeloma in participants. In addition, they will look at how safe the plant-based diet is for participants, and see if the diet affects participants' quality of life.
