Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

This is an observational, post-authorization, retrospective, multicenter study (PAS-OD) that will be conducted in approximately 20 centers in Spain. In all cases, only data recorded prior to the date of study start will be collected to ensure its retrospective nature, thus reflecting real clinical practice, avoiding any influence on the physician's clinical practice.

Chemokine receptor CXCR4 was expressed in MM and lymphoma cells and CXCR4-targeting molecular imaging- 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT could be a promising technique to evaluate the extent of MM and lymphoma with higher accuracy. This prospective study is going to investigate whether metabolic characterization by 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT may be superior for diagnosis, risk stratification, and prognostic evaluation of MM and lymphoma.

This retrospective multicenter observational study will provide real-life efficacy and tolerance data for patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (RMM) treated with carfilzomib in the context of nominative expanded access and compassionate use in France, and will allow to evaluate healthcare practices from data obtained during the use of carfilzomib for routine care. Nominative expanded access was open in February 2014 and stopped in march 2016, then relayed by the compassionate program (march 2016- February 2017).

Pirmary endpoint: to examine the feasibility of using an mHealth app for reporting of side effects instead of a telephone call from the hospital staff together with examining the perspectives of patients with multiple myeloma and healthcare professionals of this new method for reporting side effects, and to assess organizational aspects. Usual procedure to assess side effect prior to cancer treatment with Bortezomib is a telephone call the day before. With this innovative method investigator aimed to give the patient more independence in their daily life and in that way improve their quality of life.

The aim of this non-interventional study is to collect primarily the percentage of patients who receive the full dose of dexamethasone (20 or 40 mg orally once daily on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of the repetitive 28-day cycles, 20 mg in >75 year old patients) in the registered indication under practice conditions.

With the recent addition of carfilzomib as a treatment option for multiple myeloma, no data is available yet on how the drug is being used outside of the clinical trial setting. This study will therefore provide essential data to demonstrate the real world utilization of carfilzomib in routine clinical practice, including dosage, administration schedule, regimen, duration of treatment and reason for discontinuation in Europe.

The main purpose of REVLIMID® DUE (Drug Use Examination) is to collect and evaluate the safety information of Korean Multiple Myeloma patients treated with REVLIMID® according to the approved package insert, after approval of marketing authorization for new drug in Korea. In addition, the efficacy information of REVLIMID® in clinical practice is collected and evaluated. This DUE is a multi-centre, observational and non-interventional post-marketing surveillance. The patients can be recruited through both Drug Use Examination after the initiation of Post Marketing Surveillance(contract with institution) and Patient Access Program(PAP) that was performed before REVLIMID® reimbursement. Total 624 patient has enrolled in PMS by 07Sep2016. Validation process for eligibility for safety assessment has been conducted by site monitoring process by 07Dec2016. REVLIMID® DUE is to investigate frequency and change of Adverse Events(AEs) /Adverse Drug Reactions(ADRs), Serious Adverse Events(SAEs)/Serious Adverse Drug Reactions(SADRs), unexpected AE/ADR and unexpected SAE/SADR, and to scrutinize factors influencing safety & efficacy of the drug. It is necessary to examine patients' demographics and baseline characteristics, medical history, status of REVLIMID® treatment, concomitant medication and evaluation of safety and final efficacy (best response) assessment.

This non-interventional retrospective chart review study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with RRMM receiving lenalidomide/dexamethasone (Len/Dex) treatment at 1st relapse and the treatment patterns following progressive disease as part of the routine clinical practice in Greece.

The primary objective of this observational study is to document and describe current treatment regimens and disease progression of patients with Multiple Myeloma (MMY). The aim of this registry is to provide accurate, descriptive information on the way Multiple Myeloma is treated in routine clinical practice. The registry will collect information related to the treatment received for Multiple Myeloma. About 3000 patients will take part in the study in about 28 countries. The registry will only collect information that is already in medical files regarding treatment. Patients will not be required to actively do anything in addition to what would be done without participating in this registry, nor will there be any procedures or interventions that are not already part of the current treatment.

This study will observe the degree of the quality of life in non-transplant candidate patients with multiple myeloma before and after bortezomib administration by using EORTC-QLQ C30 (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core30) and EQ-5D (EuroQol-5 Dimensions). Both tools are validated research instruments used to measure the quality of life in cancer patients and consequently will provide fundamental data regarding the quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma by analyzing factors that affect the quality of life.
