Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

This clinical trial tests whether chaplain-delivered compassion centered spiritual health (CCSH) works to improve quality of life in patients receiving a stem cell transplant. CCSH is a secularized, research-based mindfulness and compassion meditation program designed to expand and strengthen compassion for self and others. Practices include training in attentional stability and increased emotional awareness, as well as targeted reflections to appreciate one's relationship with self and others. By centering the mind, controlling negative thoughts, and cultivating personal resiliency and an inclusive and more accurate understanding of others, CCSH may help improve response to stress and reduce inflammation.

Those patients with newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (MM) who are not candidates for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) and who meet the screening criteria described in this protocol can participate. The participating patients must sign an informed consent, which the investigator who will collect the study variables in an electronic case report form (eCRF) will provide to them. The investigators must recruit at least 450 patients in a 24-month period.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of NINLARO in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in daily clinical practice.

Does Tai Chi Easy (TCEasy), a simple and repetitive form of exercise that consists of movements with meditation, improve quality of life in those afflicted with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation?

The importance of real-world evidence studies stems from the following considerations. The study population of a specific clinical trial needs to meet strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, which result in a population of participants that is not necessarily representative of the study population of interest treated in routine care. Furthermore, the outcomes of a clinical trial occur under controlled conditions that do not necessarily reflect the routine healthcare practice. This is especially true among patient populations with challenging to treat disease such as in MM, where personalized therapeutic approaches are commonly considered taking into consideration the patients' age and associated comorbidities, among other factors. In addition, observational studies, due to their non-interventional nature, often show increased degree of heterogeneity across the enrolled patient populations compared to clinical studies, thus aiding generalizability of the results. In light of the above and due to the scarcity of evidence regarding the outcomes for patients with RRMM receiving Pom/LoDex in routine clinical practice, this retrospective chart review and prospective observational study aims to assess the PFS and response to treatment as well as to obtain real-world evidence on the utilization patterns and management strategy of Pom/LoDex in routine clinical care settings in Greece. This is a non-interventional, multicenter, single-country, retrospective chart review and prospective cohort study which will include a representative sample of patients with RRMM who have been initiated on Pom/LoDex between 01 January 2016 and 28 February 2019 in the third line and beyond treatment setting under routine care conditions in Greece. The study will be carried out by hospital-based hematology specialists practicing in geographically diverse locations throughout Greece and will be conducted under real-world conditions of daily clinical practice.

This is an italian multicenter study to determine whether maintenance treatment with Lenalidomide-based regimen significantly increases the rate of molecular remission in patients achieving at least a VGPR after therapy with new drugs combination. No changing in the planned therapy will be made according to MRD results. A total of 70 patients with newly diagnosed MM who are 18 years of age or older and who meet all of the eligibility criteria may be enrolled in this study. Potential study subjects will sign an informed consent prior undergoing any study related procedure. Patients enrolled in this study will receive Lenalidomide-based regimen as maintenance therapy according to their previous decided therapeutic schedule. All consecutive patients treated with Lenalidomide-based regimen as maintenance therapy and with inclusion criteria will be asked to participate to this study. No additional drugs will be administrated for this study whose aim is to monitor the MRD on bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood of patients during maintenance therapy with Lenalidomide-based regimen.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the multiple myeloma (MM) population concerning demographics and clinical characteristics (for example. frailty, risk strata, manifestations of target organ damage [TOD]) in 6 countries (that is Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Panama); and to profile the treatment landscape of Latin American MM participants, including factors associated with health-care provider (HCP) selections of different treatment regimens. These factors can include a participant's demographic and clinical characteristics and availability of different therapy options per institution in each country.

This study aims to show that antiidiotypic sdAb are a new, sensitive, specific and non-invasive tool for imaging and therapeutic purposes and provides a rationale for their clinical evaluation as a personalized treatment option for MM patients expressing surface paraprotein.

This trial studies how well strength training works in improving bone health, pain, and quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma. Weekly physical activity may improve bone recovery, reduce pain, and increase quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma.

Many cancers are being treated more effectively nowadays due to the raised awareness and early detection as well as advancement in researches and technology. Despite the rising number of cancer survivors in the coming years, these survivors are still plagued by the poor quality of life due to physical and psychological impairment. According to the National Cancer Registry Report from 2007-2011, haematological cancer is one of the ten most common cancers in Malaysian population. Many haematological cancer survivors in Malaysia are reportedly having poor quality of life due to multiple physical and emotional impairments which leads to further disability in life. It is thus an important effort to identify the rehabilitation needs in these cancer survivors to implement alternatives to improve the disease outcome through cancer rehabilitation.
