Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

The purpose of this study is to study the MRD status after VELCADE based induction therapy (VELCADE, lenalidomide, dexamethasone or VELCADE, liposomal doxorubicin, dexamethasone) in patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma and study the impact of HDC and ASCT on MRD status post-transplant. Our hypothesis is that MRD-status will continue to increase significantly at 3 months post-transplant and will validate that HDC and ASCT needs to be performed even when patients have achieved major response after induction therapy with novel agents.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of gemcitabine, busulfan, and melphalan, when given before a stem cell transplant, can help to control refractory myeloma. The safety of this study treatment will also be studied.

This is a national, multicenter, open-label, randomized, comparative study designed to compare, first, the TTP of the two treatment schemes proposed (MPV followed by Rd or MPV alternating with Rd) in newly diagnosed MM patients older than 65 years. This comparison will be performing in terms of both efficacy and safety. Up to 120 patients will be included in each treatment arm and evaluated at scheduled visits in up to 3 study periods: Pre-treatment, Treatment and Follow-up. Primary outcome measure: To evaluate the efficacy in terms of time to progression (TTP) at 18 months of MPV and Rd used as either in a sequential or alternating approach in newly diagnosed MM patients older than 65 years. To evaluate the toxicity (safety and tolerability) of the sequential versus the alternating use of MPV and Rd. Secondary outcome measure: To evaluate the response, duration of response, progression free survival (PFS), time to next therapy (TNT) and overall survival (OS) in the two different groups of patients. To identify, within the group of patients treated with the alternating scheme, the biological characteristics (including a comprehensive genomic analysis) of those patients resistant to one or the other, and patients refractory to both treatments

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose and pharmacokinetics of MLN0128 in patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma or Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia

The purpose of this trial is to find out the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib (VELCADE) in combination with pralatrexate in patients with previously treated multiple myeloma, AL amyloid and Waldenstroem's macroglobulinemia.

The purpose of this study is to 1) evaluate the safety and tolerability of autologous genetically modified T cells transduced to express the high affinity NY-ESO-1c259 TCR in HLA-A2+ subjects and 2) measure the incidence of GVHD in patients following infusion of TCR modified autologous T cells.

Study Phase: phase 1 and phase 2 Objective: Evaluation of the effect of lenalidomide, cyclophophamide and prednisone (REP) in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma previously treated with lenalidomide Study design: prospective, multicenter, non-randomized

To assess if amrubicin is safe and useful for patients with multiple myeloma requiring additional treatment.

Multicentric study, open, single arm, designed to evaluate the efficacy(response rate and response duration) and security of a sequential scheme of treatment with Bortezomib in combination with Melfalan and Prednisone (V-MP) (patients > 75 years) or Bortezomib and Adriamycine in combination with Melfalan and Prednisone (VAMP) (patients <= 75 years) follow by Thalidomide in combination with Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone (TaCyDex) in patients with refractary or relapse multiple myeloma.

To determine whether further study of single-agent enzastaurin is warranted in patients with previously treated Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia or Multiple Myeloma based on response.
