Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

Due to economic reasons, thalidomide is still widely used as a first line drug for Multiple Myeloma patients in China. However,the efficacy of CTd is still lower than the therapeutic regimens with new drugs. Clarithromycin may have partly efficacy in association with steroids and thalidomide for Multiple Myeloma patients. This multicenter, randomized, phase 3 clinical trial is proposed to explore whether clarithromycin could potentiate responsiveness of CTd (Cyclophosphamide, Thalidomide and Dexamethasone) regimen in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma patients. The trial will also evaluate the side effects caused by the combination of these drugs.

The purpose of this Phase II study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness (good and bad effects) of carfilzomib given as a 30-minute infusion and at a dose of 70 mg/m2 to treat patients with multiple myeloma (MM), who are currently showing progressive disease (worsening) and had progressed (did not respond to treatment) within 8 weeks of receiving treatment with twice weekly 27mg/m2 of carfilzomib. Carfilzomib is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used only in certain U.S. patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma that have tried and failed other therapies. Carfilzomib is considered an investigational drug for this study because the dose and regimen included in this study are different from the FDA approved carfilzomib regimen. Carfilzomib is a type of drug called a proteasome inhibitor. Carfilzomib is thought to work by preventing breakdown of abnormal proteins in cells, causing the cells to die. Cancer cells are more sensitive to these effects than normal cells. Carfilzomib has been previously given to more than 1800 people in clinical trials.

IFM 2012-03 protocol is a Phase 2 multicenter nonrandomized open in elderly patients with multiple myeloma at diagnosis. Study primary objectives are in the first step to determine Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Carfilzomib Weekly based on definition of Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and in the second step to expanded cohort, to determine the VGPR (Very Good Partial Response) + CR (Complete Response) rate of Carfilzomib Weekly at the MTD in combination with Melphalan Prednisone at the end of the 9 induction cycles.

This is an open Label, Phase I/II, multicenter study. In the first phase it defines the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Bendamustine (B) given in combination with Lenalidomide (L) and low-dose Dexamethasone (d) and in the second phase it evaluates the antitumour activity of Bendamustine, Lenalidomide and Low-dose Dexamethasone (BdL) given in combination, in relapsed multiple myeloma patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether acupuncture can be effective for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in lymphoma or multiple myeloma patients.

This phase 2 study will be conducted at 10 centers and enroll patients from August 2013 to August 2017.Firstly, All patients included will provide written informed consent. Secondly, they will be randomized equally to receive modified VCD regimen arm 1 or modified VCD regimen arm 2. In total, 47 patients per arm (or 94 in total) are required. The treatment consists of four 4-week cycles of induction therapy followed by intensive therapy with another five modified VCD regimens and maintenance treatment with CP regimen. Then, patients will be followed up for 24 months after chemotherapy. The investigators will record all the laboratory and clinical investigations to assess response at different points of the study. We also monitor and assess adverse events (AEs), as graded according to NCI-CTCAE Version 3.0.Response categories were based on the International Myeloma Working Group uniform response criteria.In addition, 20 patients (10 in VCD regimen arm 1 group, 10 in VCD regimen arm 2 group) from ten centres will be enrolled in the pharmacodynamic substudy.

Comparison of the efficacy and safety of microtransplantation and autologous transplantation in the treatment of ≥PR multiple myeloma patients, 2-year PFS and OS were also been observed. To identify the role of microtransplantation in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Phase 2, single-arm, open, non-randomized, multicenter study of the SINE™ compound selinexor plus low-dose dexamethasone, in combination with bortezomib and daratumumab. 100 mg selinexor (on days 1, 8, 15 and 22), plus 40 mg dexamethasone (20 mg IV the day of daratumumab and selinexor and 20 mg oral administration the day after daratumumab and selinexor) both weekly as continuous therapy. Bortezomib will be given via subcutaneous at dose of 1.3 mg/m2 once weekly on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 during the cycles 1 to cycle 8, and on day 1 and day 15 of each cycle thereafter as continuous therapy. Daratumumab will be given via intravenous at dose of 16 mg/Kg on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 (weekly) during the cycles 1 and 2, every two weeks (on days 1 and 15) during the cycles 3 to 6 and on day 1 of each cycle thereafter as continuous therapy. Patients may continue indefinitely and there is no maximum treatment duration

CAR-T cell therapy has shown promising results for the treatment of relapsed or refractory Multiple Myeloma,however, a subset of patients relapse due to the loss of target in tumor cells.Dual Specificity CD38 and BCMA CAR-T cells can recognize and kill the malignant cells through recognition of CD38 or BCMA. This is a phase 1/2 study designed to determine the safety of dual specificity CD38 and BCMA CAR-T cells and the feasibility of making enough to treat patients with relapsed or refractory Multiple Myeloma.

This is a single-center, non-randomized study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of C-CAR088 in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patient.
