Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

The is a randomized control study for newly-diagnosed myeloma patients 18-65 year old. All patients will receive 4 cycles of velcade and Dexamethasone as front-line therapy. Then patients will be randomized into standard group which will receive a single autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with standard conditioning of melphalan 200mg/m2 and the study group which will receive single autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with conditioning of melphalan 200mg/m2 + velcade followed by 3 more cycles of velcade alone as consolidation.

The aim of our study is to confirm the relevance of PET using [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor ligand, in comparison with FDG, for initial staging and detection of minimal residual disease in multiple myeloma patients eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation less than 66 years. The prognostic value of positive CXCR4 expression will also be assessed and [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor/FDG discordances explored.

Standard therapy for multiple myeloma (MM) usually includes an autologous bone marrow stem cell transplant - a procedure where the patient is treated with high dose chemotherapy and then their own (autologous) stem cells are transplanted back into their body. Patients with multiple myeloma and high risk genes, always relapse after an autologous transplant and often die within two years from the time of their transplant. A different type of transplant allogeneic) using donor cells, may work better for high-risk Multiple Myeloma, because the donor cells may help kill the lymphoid cancer cells. This study will investigate if a matched donor stem cell transplant using a newer, reduced toxicity, chemotherapy (Flu-Bu4) is a feasible option for patients with high risk, Multiple Myeloma.

The objective of this exploratory study is to evaluate, for the first time, the sensitivity of 18F-Fludarabine to the initial diagnosis of MM compared to FDG-PET and MRI. The interest of this molecule will also be investigated as part of the end-of-treatment therapeutic evaluation.

This multicenter, open-label trial will randomize participants with multiple myeloma to a regimen of ibandronate or zoledronate in order to compare the incidence of nephrotoxicity, measured as creatinine clearance (CrCl) reduction greater than (>) 30 percent (%) or an absolute value of 30 milliliters per minute (mL/min) or lower.

Add three drugs, bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (VTD) to the high dose chemotherapy regimen immediately before transplant (DPACE/Melphalan) to try to improve myeloma response and acquire longer survival for participants.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the most common bone marrow malignancy of terminally differentiated plasma cells. It accounts for about 1% of all malignant diseases and 10% of haematological malignancies and takes the second place after non-Hodgkin lymphoma . There are some serological and clinical criteria that help to detect the stage of MM and predict the patients' prognosis. These criteria include the level of M protein, calcium, haemoglobin, albumin, creatinine, β2-microglobulin and glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

This is a prospective, multicentre, phase III, randomised, controlled intervention study. Two groups of patients with equal numbers will be studied and each patient will be allocated to one of the two groups described below by randomisation (ratio 1:1). Each patient will be allocated to one of the two groups described below by randomisation (ratio 1:1). - PASCA interventional group For both the 7 complications of interest (primary objective) and the 13 secondary complications (secondary objective), a specific and proactive referral will be made systematically after each screening assessment, depending on the level of risk, estimated according to decision trees (management guide) and through the dedicated PASCA network of healthcare professionals, in order to initiate early treatment and follow-up if necessary. - Control group For the 7 complications of interest (primary objective) as well as for the 13 complications (secondary objective): all the data from each identification check-up will be sent to the onco-haematological transmitted to the referring onco-haematologists, so that they can initiate their own management. => For all patients, regardless of group All patients will receive four screening assessments covering the 7 complications of interest and 13 secondary complications: Visit No.1 (T1), 1-2 months after the autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT), corresponding to the patient's visit to his or her Multiple Myeloma (MM) monitoring consultation and/or the start of his or her consolidation treatment. Visit No.2 (T2), 4 months after aHSCT, corresponding to a patient's visit for the end of consolidation treatment; Visit No.3 (T3), 14 months after the last aHSCT, corresponding to a visit by the patient during his or her maintenance treatment; Visit No.4 (T4), 24 months after the last aHSCT, corresponding to a visit by the patient for a MM monitoring consultation.

The purpose of this study is to find out if patients with high risk disease because of age or kidney status can be treated more safely with a drug called Busulfex® followed by autologous transplant compared to treatment with the standard drug called melphalan, which has been shown to be quite difficult to tolerate in patients with poor kidney function and patients over the age of 65 when given in high doses.
