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.

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).

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.

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.

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

The study hypotheses is that the introduction of dose escalated thiotepa, in substitution to busulfan or melphalan, will reduce toxicity after allogeneic transplantation while improving disease eradication in patients with lymphoid malignancies not eligible for standard transplantation.

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.
