Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

Patients with Multiple Myeloma will undergo single timepoint Positron Emission Tomography imaging with intravenously injected C11 Methionine to detect viable lesions.

Investigators are doing this study to determine which of four imaging techniques: Fludeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (18 FDG PET) computerized tomography (CT), 18 FDG PET Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), C-11 acetate PET CT, and C-11 acetate PET MRI) is the best test for finding sites of active myeloma disease.

Comparing intermediate-dose CTX (ID-CTX)and G-CSF with rhTPO or without for peripheral blood stem cell mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma, try to find out whether rhTPO combined to ID-CTX + G-CSF could improve the results of peripheral blood stem cell mobilization.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome is superior to doxorubicin when combined with bortizomib and dexamethasone for treating patient with initially diagnosed multiple myeloma.

To determine the maximum tolerated dose of, and response to, PRLX 93936 as treatment for patients with relapsed or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography using carbon-11 acetate (ACT PET/CT) may help detect lesions before treatment and evaluate response following therapy in patients with from multiple myeloma (MM). This study aimed to prospectively assess the clinical utility of ACT PET/CT in MM as compared to the commonly used F18-fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG).

The purpose of this study is to compare the current standard whole-body x-ray with the advanced imaging techniques FDG-PET-CT, NaF-PET-CT and whole-body MRI in the detection of myeloma bone lesions.

Multicenter open-label prospective comparative study of PET-scan and MRI at the time of diagnosis, after 3 cycles of induction therapy (RVD) and at the completion of therapy.

The treatment assignment is based on the presence or absence of an HLA-identical sibling donor (Genetic Randomisation, NOT formal Randomisation). Patients with suitable HLA-identical sibling donors are offered a tandem transplant approach consisting of standard autografting nonmyeloablative radiotherapy and allografting. Patients without HLA-identical siblings are treated with standard double autologous transplantation as per Institutional guidelines or enrolled in other treatment programs approved by local IRBs.This is a multi-center study. The Division of Hematology of University of Torino at the S.G.B. Hospital, Torino, Italy, is the co-ordinating Center.

To evaluate: the incidence of venous thromboembolic event (VTE) the incidence of hemorrhagic complications, In a population of patients with myeloma who are treated with IMiDs and require thromboprophylaxis for 6 months, using an oral anti-Xa anticoagulant, Apixaban, in a preventive scheme, 2.5 mg x2/day
