Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

To assess the efficacy and toxicity of plerixafor (AMD 3100) together with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for stem cell mobilisation, in patients with myeloma or lymphoma requiring high dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue.

It is possible that the combination of lenalidomide, dexamethasone and ACE 011 may reduce or prevent the growth of cancer cells along with improving anemia and bone lesions that sometimes occur in people with multiple myeloma. This current study is the first study combining ACE 011 with lenalidomide. In this research study, the investigators are looking for the highest dose of ACE 011 that can be given with lenalidomide and dexamethasone. The investigators will also begin to collect information about the effect of the combination of ACE 011, lenalidomide and dexamethasone on multiple myeloma.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of melphalan for injection for autologous stem cell transplant in multiple myeloma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving bortezomib together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome together with bortezomib and dexamethasone works in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Assessment of survival without progression of stage I MM in two groups: arm A: simple survey and arm B: administration of Zoledronate. Describe different progression's type noticed and define the prognosis factors of a fast evolution.

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide, together with antithymocyte globulin before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells. Giving chemotherapy before or after transplant also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer and abnormal cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematological cancer or other disorders.

The present study will be a multicenter, prospective phase II-study investigating safety and efficacy of the combination of auto-allo tandem stem cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma and age of >_60 years, followed by maintenance therapy with low-dose Thalidomide and Donor Lymphocyte Infusions.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of fluphenazine in patients with advanced multiple myeloma. The study will also describe the efficacy of this drug.

A prospective, randomized trial of autologous bone marrow transplantation compared with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in multiple myeloma.

To investigate the effect of an anti-inflammatory therapy consisting of lenalidomide in combination with pioglitazone, dexamethasone and metronomic low-dose chemotherapy with treosulfan on the response rate in patients with relapsed or refractory or progressive multiple myeloma(MM). Phase I: to determine the lenalidomide dse for the phase II part (5 mg or 10 mg or 15 mg) on the basis of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs') in the first 4 weeks of treatment. Phase II: to determine response rate (primary objective) time to progression (TTP) time to partial response (TPR) overall survival (OS) quality of life tolerability and safety
