Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

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.

The protocol aims at reducing transplant toxicity and mortality in patients with multiple myeloma.

Multiple Myeloma is a incurable disease. Thalidomide in combination with other agents are currently in trials for the newly diagnosed patients, we designed treatment of TCD, followed by high dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation and TD maintenance therapy for the patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Lytic bone disease continues to be one of the most devastating complications of multiple myeloma (MM) despite recent and dramatic advancements in MM management, and bone lesions persist and can continue to significantly impact a patient's morbidity, even when an individual's myeloma is otherwise under good control. To date, no agent has been shown to have a prolonged bone anabolic response in myeloma. Preliminary studies treating healthy postmenopausal women with a single dose of sotatercept demonstrated a rapid and sustained increase in serum biochemical markers of bone formation and a decrease in markers of bone resorption. Similarly, the murine analog to sotatercept, RAP-011, increases bone mineral density and strength in murine studies of both normal animals and models of bone loss. We hypothesize that sotatercept will provide an anabolic response for bone in myeloma patients with bone disease.

RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs, such as aprepitant and ondansetron, may help lessen nausea and vomiting caused by opioids. It is not yet known whether aprepitant is more effective than ondansetron in treating nausea and vomiting caused by opioids in patients with cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying aprepitant to see how well it works compared to ondansetron in treating nausea and vomiting caused by opioids in patients with cancer.

A study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) AMG 701 in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D)

The complex logistics and unique toxicities of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy require intensive patient education and careful monitoring. The Companion for CAR-T (CC) web app may be able to assist with patient education and preparation, communication between patients and their multidisciplinary teams, and home-based toxicity monitoring.

This pilot clinical trial studies mechanical stimulation in preventing bone density loss in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Mechanical stimulation may limit, prevent, or reverse bone loss, increase muscle and cardiac performance, and improve overall health

RATIONALE: Antimicrobial solution comprising trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, edetate calcium disodium, and ethanol may help prevent blockages and infections from forming in patients with central venous access catheters or peripheral venous catheters. PURPOSE: This randomized trial is studying an antimicrobial solution or saline solution in maintaining catheter patency and preventing catheter-related blood infections in patients with malignancies.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of TAK-573 when used with dexamethasone and in combination with bortezomib, pomalidomide, or cyclophosphamide, in participants with RRMM.
