Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

This study will evaluate the prevalence of geriatric syndromes in older adults with multiple myeloma, examine relationships between baseline geriatrics syndromes and initial treatment selection, and examine risk of functional decline. Relationship between baseline geriatric questionnaires and initial treatment selection in older adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Feasibility of subjects completing the CARG geriatric assessments at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. Comorbidities or dependence in IADLs at baseline predict decline in functional status at 6 months of follow-up in older adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

The measurement of 24-hour proteinuria allows an assessment of treatment response in patients with multiple myeloma. But it is difficult and restrictive to make. This study was therefore designed to investigate the correlation between the ratio of proteinuria / creatinine on samples, easier to obtain, and the 24-hour proteinuria in assessing response to this treatment .

Patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM) are at increased risk of venous thromboembolic event, especially in newly diagnosed patients and during induction treatment with thalidomide in combination with dexamethasone. This association was mainly heightened during the 3 first months of chemotherapy. Several coagulation abnormalities have been described. Laboratory tests measuring the overall thrombophilic tendency might be useful to assess thrombosis risk. The aim of this study is to compare thrombin generation by calibrated automated thrombogram during the 3 first cycles of chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed MM.

Patients with multiple myeloma have seen their survival rate strongly improved with the use of new anti angiogenic agents. Among them, the new chemotherapy with thalidomide or lenalinomide are frequently successfully suggested in therapeutic protocol such as MPT however they can strongly increase the risk of venous thrombo embolic disease (DVT and PTE) up to 20%. In these conditions, a prevention of this risk can be proposed by physician with either low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) anticoagulants or antiplatelets agents. Pending the new recommendations on the management of VTED, the purpose of this study is to describe in real life conditions the management by oncologists of the thrombo embolic risk for such patients

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the predictive role of free Kappa/Lambda ration in Multiple Myeloma post-transplant.

The purpose of this study is to expand upon the safety data for carfilzomib by providing expanded access to patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who are unable to enroll in any other ongoing carfilzomib trial.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare cancer caused by abnormal survival of plasma cells (blood cells). Most trial participants with MM relapse (cancer has come back) or become non- responsive to treatment and remission gets shorter after each line of treatment. This is a study to assess t(11;14) and BCL2 expression in adult participants with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) MM. Approximately 500 adult participants with newly confirmed or relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) will be enrolled in around 15-20 countries. Participants will receive standard of care while participating in this study. No drug will be administered as a part of this study. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic and will be asked to provide bone marrow and blood samples.

The main aim of this study is to see how people with MM respond to previous or current treatment. Participants will be treated according to their clinic's standard practice. Each participant will fill out a study questionnaire during a routine doctor visit. Information collected from past medical records will also be used.

In the proposed study, the investigators will aim to develop and pilot a Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging protocol and assess its ability to achieve the following: quantification of tumour burden and bone loss, detecting longitudinal changes in tumour load with therapy and detecting longitudinal changes in microarchitecture with therapy. The investigators also aim to investigate whether bone loss is better, worse or the same with different imaging techniques. This will be investigated by correlating the DXA imaging data with Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DWMRI) to see if it is possible to achieve quantifiable data of bone density.

Elranatamab is a bispecific antibody: binding of elranatamab to CD3- expressing T-cell and BCMA- expressing multiple myeloma cells causes targeted T-cell mediated cytotoxicity. This expanded access protocol will provide access to elranatamab until it becomes commercially available to patients who are refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory drug and one anti-CD38 antibody and have no access to other comparable/alternative therapy and for whom elranatamab could be a possible treatment option.
