Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

This clinical trial studies filgrastim (G-CSF) with or without plerixafor in treating patients with multiple myeloma (MM) previously treated with lenalidomide. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, and plerixafor helps stem cells move from the patient's bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored

This clinical trial is a multicenter, cohort, with one arm to study the SLP to 18 months of Velcadito scheme (velcade 1.0 mg / m2 administered over two days with melphalan and prednisone) in patients with MM diagnosis again higher 75. After completion of the protocol patients were still approximately every two months, in clinical practice, to observe the survival and answers to other treatments. All the scans are part of the normal routine. The realization of diagnostic tests and drug treatment will be performed regardless of the patient's participation in the study as part of routine clinical practice All patients who meet criteria. The incidence of MM age-adjusted to cover the participating hospitals is estimated in 44 patients. Patients will receive a course of 4 weeks duration of Melphalan / Prednisone / Velcade consist in Melphalan, 9 mg / m2 orally daily 1-4 and Prednisone 60 mg / m2 orally on days 1 to 4, in combination Velcade with a dose of 1.3 mg / m2 sc twice weekly (days 1, 4, 8, 11), followed by 2 weeks of rest (cycle duration of 4 weeks) and seven four-week cycles duration of melphalan / prednisone / Velcade consist in Melphalan, 9 mg / m2 orally on days 1 to 4 and prednisone, 60 mg / m2 orally on days 1 to 4, in combination with Velcade, at doses of 1, 0 mg / m2 sc (days 1, 4). Melphalan and Prednisone will be dispensed for oral administration. The Melphalan should be administered in a single two hours separately taking any food and prednisone be taken in the morning with or immediately after a meal. The amount in mg will be calculated based on the body surface, to be calculated on day 1 of each cycle. Velcade for administration, calculated on day 1 of the cycle will be the same dose throughout the entire cycle. If a patient experiences a gain or loss of remarkable weight within the cycle, the dose to be administered will be recalculated based on the new body surface. The appropriate amount of Velcadeserá dispensed in a sc injection. Velcade dose between two leave at least 72 hours

Multiple myeloma is the second most common haematological cancer with a cancer incidence of around 500 new cases in Austria per year . Novel treatment methods have significantly increased the cancer-specific survival rate in patients with multiple myeloma. For Austria, this means that 5- and 10-year survival rates rose from 32.1 to 46.4% and from 19.0 to 25.6% from the end of the 1980s to the end of the 2000s. Longer survival is associated with the need to maintain independence and quality of life in the longer term. In this context, regular physical training has seen a significant increase in the importance of cancer in recent years.The guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine still contain very general training recommendations for cancer patients. Either 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of intensive endurance training per week are recommended, supplemented by at least two units of strengthening training and stretching exercises for the large muscle groups. In a recent cross-sectional and pilot study with multiple myeloma patients that was carried out at the Clinic for Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation and Occupational Medicine at the Medical University of Vienna (EK 1725/2018), it was on the one hand identified that there was a discrepancy between these patients on the one hand has given actual and perceived risk of falling, and on the other hand it is concluded that training recommendations should be carried out separately in group and individual training according to the actual risk of falling and fracture. The present project is the follow-up to this cross-sectional investigation. The aim is to examine the feasibility and effects of a structured, physical training program carried out over a period of 12 weeks on physical performance, quality of life, body composition and the risk of falling. The effects of patients with increased risk in individual training sessions are compared to those of lower risk patients in group training sessions. Furthermore, the study patients will be able to bring training partners with them to their own training units if available and for their own security. They are evaluated separately according to qualitative criteria.

The aim of this study was to evaluate SERUM neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, emerging indicator of tubular damage and examine their relationship with established measures of renal function (serum creatinine, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR) among MM patients with and without renal impairment (RI), and at various stages of MM progression.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the immune profile of plasma cells and immune effector cells in paired peripheral whole blood and bone marrow samples from MM patients by standardized flow cytometry. The quantitative and/or qualitative variation of these immune effectors according to the different status of myeloma pathology (diagnosis, relapse or refractory). It is interesting to assess the extent to which a particular immune profile is associated with a better therapeutic response for a given treatment. In addition, the study will validate the stability of the samples between T0 (< 4 hours after sampling) and T0 + 72 hours.

Study of elotuzumab in combination with pomalidomide and low dose dexamethasone (EPd Cohort) and elotuzumab in combination with nivolumab (EN Cohort) to assess the safety and efficacy of these combination therapies for treatment of relapsed or refractory MM patients.

This is a first in human phase 1 multicenter open label study in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

This study is a Multicentre, Open-label, Phase II study of Daratumumab and Dexamethasone in MM patients. Eligible patients must have a symptomatic RRMM with a measurable disease, resistant or refractory to Bortezomib and Lenalidomide and Pomalidomide. There is no dose escalation phase, as the MAxiamal Tolerated Dose (MTD) and drug scheduling have already been determined in previous phase 1-2 dose escalation studies. There is no randomization.

In Korea, VMP is most commonly used as frontline treatment in patients with newly diagnosed MM who were ineligible for high-dose therapy. Recently National Insurance began to reimburse the second-line LD when the bortezomib-containing treatment failed to salvage the patients. Patients who have relapsed MM after exposure to the above agents and have progressive disease have a short life expectancy. Third-line therapy is needed for retrieving the patients hereafter. And substantial proportion of patients will attain an advanced age. To examine if time to disease progression is maintained and tolerability is improved with lower dexamethasone dose, the dose of dexamethasone is reduced when at least a minimal response is achieved after 3 months of treatment with the initial dose. Three months later (6 months after the initial treatment), the response remains in stable disease, 2nd dose reduction (dexamethasone 10mg or prednisone 50mg) will be carried out.

The purpose of this study is to explore the combination of Elotuzumab in combination with autologous stem cell transplantation and lenalidomide maintenance to see what side effects it may have and how well it works for the treatment of symptomatic multiple myeloma diagnosed and treated with induction therapy in the past year. Induction therapy is the first phase of treatment for multiple myeloma. The goal of induction therapy for multiple myeloma is to reduce the number of plasma cells in the bone marrow and the proteins that the plasma cells produce. Induction therapy is usually given for 3-4 weeks. An autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant is a procedure in which immature "stem cells" are collected and stored for future use. A high dose of chemotherapy is given to the patient to destroy myeloma cells, and the patient's stem cells are replaced. The investigational drug in this program is elotuzumab. Elotuzumab is known as BMS-901608. Elotuzumab is a manufactured protein directed against a target found on multiple myeloma cells. Lenalidomide is currently approved for patients with multiple myeloma. Melphalan and cyclophosphamide, the drugs used during stem cell collection and transplant, are also approved by the U.S. FDA. Melphalan is an FDA-approved chemotherapy for multiple myeloma and is used as high-dose treatment prior to stem cell transplantation. Cyclophosphamide is an FDA-approved chemotherapy that may be used, either alone, or in combination with other drugs to treat multiple myeloma.
