Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

This is randomized, multicentre study aimed to compare a standard maintenance therapy with Interferon-Dexamethasone with an experimental therapy based on Thalidomide-Dexamethasone in patients with multiple myeloma who responded to ThaDD induction therapy

The purpose of this study is to determine the dose that can be safely given to see what effect it may have on your cancer and to determine how the drug is distributed in the body.

This research study is evaluating an investigational combination of four drugs called Revlimid® (lenalidomide), Velcade® (bortezomib), Dexamethasone and Doxil® (RVDD) as a possible treatment for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

A Pivotal Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of ExAblate Treatment of Metastatic Bone and Multiple Myeloma Tumors for the Palliation of Pain in Patients Who are not Candidates for Radiation Therapy

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn whether higher doses of stem cells can help to decrease the symptoms that occur after melphalan. Another goal of the study is to see how the dose of infused stem cells affects the levels of certain proteins in your blood. Researchers also want to learn how the dose of stem cells that you receive affects the quality of your life during the weeks after the transplant procedure.

Safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose and clinical benefit of ENMD-2076 administered over a range of doses in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

This Phase I research study is to test the effects (good and bad) and best dose of BT062 in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

This is a multi-institution, non-randomized, open label, Phase IIa prospective trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of maintenance lenalidomide after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Lenalidomide maintenance therapy will start between day 60 and 90 after allogeneic HCT at a starting dose of 10mg PO once daily. Dose escalation and de-escalation will be performed depending on tolerability of lenalidomide. Dose range is 5mg every other day to 5 - 25 mg given daily on days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle for 12 cycles maximum or maximum of 12 months from first dose of study drug. Patients will be followed until 28 days from completing the 12th planned cycle of lenalidomide maintenance or 12 months from first dose of study drug, which ever comes first, (14 to 15 months after receiving the allograft) or discontinuation of study drug.

We postulate that the combination of IL-2 and GM-CSF immunotherapy will efficiently mobilize autologous peripheral blood stem cells and activated immune effector cells in patients with a hematologic malignancy. These activated effector cells will improve the immune function of the graft. These hypotheses will be tested using this proposed clinical trial to mobilize autologous peripheral blood stem cells pre-transplantation.

This is a multi-center, open label, uncontrolled, non-comparative phase I/II study in patients with refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma who are eligible for second, third, or fourth line therapy. Patients will be enrolled sequentially into four dose cohorts. The feasibility of administrating Revlimid (R) in combination with Doxorubicin and Dexamethasone (AD) and the MTD of the combination will be determined in the phase I part of the study (Part A). When the MTD has been established, the efficacy of the combination will be further evaluated in the phase II part of the study Part B)
