Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

The primary objective of this trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BI 836909 administered by continuous i.v. infusion in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma. If the MTD is not reached based on safety findings, a recommended dose for further development will be determined. This will depend on the safety data, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics data and potentially preliminary efficacy data. Secondary objectives are to document the safety and tolerability of BI 836909, to perform pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses and to evaluate relevant biological effects in terms of parameters of efficacy.

Overview of Study Design: This is an open phase II, single-arm, multi-center study to evaluate progression free survival in patients receiving ixazomib in combination with thalidomide and dexamethasone (ITD) followed by an ixazomib maintenance phase of a maximum period of 12 months. The patient population will consist of adult male and female patients with multiple myeloma (MM) with relapsed and/or refractory disease after at least one prior treatment line. In case of enrollment patients will receive ixazomib 4.0mg at days 1, 8, 15, thalidomide 100mg at days 1 to 28 (50mg in patients aged ≥75 years), and dexamethasone 40mg (20mg in patients aged ≥75 years) at days 1, 8, 15 of a 28-day treatment cycle. The proposed number of cycles is 8. Treatment will be discontinued in case of progressive disease or in case of no response after 4 cycles (≤ SD after 4 cycles). After discontinuation of therapy an end of treatment visit (EOT) will be performed within 14 days after the last dose of the last combination treatment cycle. After 8 cycles of ITD therapy, maintenance treatment with 4.0mg ixazomib (3.0mg in patients aged ≥ 75 years at first day of maintenance phase) on days 1, 8, 15 of 28-day cycles will be administered to patients with ≥ MR for a maximum period of 12 months. Patients who completed less than 8 cycles of ITD treatment do not qualify for maintenance phase. Follow-up visits will be performed in 3-monthly intervals until the last patient on ixazomib maintenance therapy has concluded or discontinued the maintenance phase. A safety analysis will be conducted after enrollment of the first 6 patients and completion of at least two cycles in every patient.

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of combination chemotherapy and donor stem cell transplant followed by ixazomib citrate maintenance therapy in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has returned after a period of improvement and is likely to recur (come back), or spread. Giving chemotherapy before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Giving ixazomib citrate after the transplant may improve the overall treatment outcome without causing additional toxicities.

Bortezomib and cyclophosphamide in combination with dexamethasone has already demonstrated high response rates in refractory multiple myeloma. Low dose continuous cyclophosphamide, also called metronomic scheduling, minimize toxic side effects and eliminate the obligatory rest periods. Combining cyclophosphamide with bortezomib might target distinct aspects of a myeloma functionality. The objectives of the present study are whether patients with refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma after reinduction with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone will benefit from maintenance therapy with bortezomib and cyclophosphamide with acceptable side-effects. Recently two studies have shown with thalidomide that maintenance therapy might improve EFS and one study also the OS.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Ixazomib on inducing osteoblast activation as measured by bone markers and imaging in patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma.

Myeloma patients with renal impairment need a rapid and effective reduction of tumor burden to enable renal recovery, which is correlated with prognosis of the patients. However, effective combination regimens are often hampered by necessary dose reductions or increased toxicity in renally impaired patients. The well known positive effects on renal impairment by Bortezomib combined with Daratumumab, which, as all monoclonal Antibody, is not renally excreted or metabolized and as so far known should not add significant toxicity but efficacy, makes the proposed combination of Daratumumab, Bortezomib and Dexamethasone highly attractive for renally impaired MM patients. In the current clinical trials with Daratumumab patients with renal function impairment (GFR ≤ 20 ml/min) were so far excluded. Consequently questions about efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of Daratumumab in combination with Bortezomib and Dexamethasone in patients with relapsed and refractory MM and severe renal impairment are still unanswered. This trial will answer these questions for a patient group, who has still an unmet need for novel and effective treatment options

This study will find the highest acceptable treatment dose and timing of infusion of cord blood, culture expanded natural killer (NK) cells, a kind of immune cell, in patients with multiple myeloma. The NK cells will be given at varying days post autologous stem cell transplant. rhIL-2 is administered after treatment to help the NK cells expand in the body. The safety of this treatment will be studied and researchers want to learn if NK cells will help in treating multiple myeloma.

The main aim of this study is to learn if ixazomib, given with dexamethasone, stops the cancer from getting worse in people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. It will be compared to another medicine called pomalidomide, given with dexamethasone with people with the same condition. Relapsed means the previous cancer treatment stopped working, over time. Refractory means they did not respond to previous cancer treatment. Another aim is to check for side effects from the study medicines. At the first visit, the study doctor will check who can take part. Participants who can take part will be picked for 1 of 2 treatments by chance. Ixazomib capsules, given with dexamethasone tablets Pomalidomide capsules, given with dexamethasone tablets All participants will take their study medicine on specific days during a 28-day cycle. The 1st dose of study medicines in each 28-day cycle will take place in the clinic, The other doses of the study medicines will be taken at home. This will happen for 6 cycles. After this, all study medicines will be taken at home. After treatment, participants will visit the clinic every 12 weeks for a check-up. If participants cannot attend their clinic for an important reason (for example, due to the COVID-19 pandemic), the clinic will make alternative arrangements using their local procedures.

This is a Phase Ib, open-label, multicenter, global study designed to assess the safety and tolerability of RO6870810 as monotherapy and in combination with daratumumab in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Each treatment cycle will be 21 days in length. There are two parts to this study. A dose-escalation phase (Part I) will be used to evaluate the safety and tolerability and dose limiting toxicities, and to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTR)/optimum biological dose (OBD) of RO6870810 when given as monotherapy or in combination with daratumumab. A dose-expansion phase (Part II) will further characterize the safety, tolerability and activity of RO6870810 as monotherapy or in combination with daratumumab at the defined expansion dose-levels.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the efficacy of gemcitabine is comparable with the efficacy of the standard chemotherapy with vinorelbine for mobilization of autologous stem cells in myeloma patients
