Kidney Therapy for Free Light Chain Removal in Patients With Multiple Myeloma & Cast Nephropathy...

Multiple MyelomaCast Nephropathy1 more

Hypothesis: Free light chain (FLC) removal haemodialysis will increase the rate of renal recovery in patients with cast nephropathy, severe renal failure and de novo multiple myeloma. This study will evaluate patients with multiple myeloma and severe renal failure treated with KIDNEY Therapy (previously called SUPRA HFR) to remove free light chains.

The Pathophysiology of Bortezomib Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Multiple Myeloma

Since the pathophysiology of BIPN still remains unclear, in the present study we are going to assess the development of BIPN in newly diagnosed myeloma patients, based on clinical neurological examination and electrophysiological study (EMG) and trying to find out if there is any relationship between oxidative stress generation measured by serum malonyldialdehyde - (MDA) and urinary isoprostane, and the development of BIPN, which can explain important part of the BIPN pathophysiology and can suggest new ideas of treatment and prophylactic strategies of peripheral neuropathy.

A Non-interventional,Observational Post Authorization Study of Patients With Multiple Myeloma Treated...

Multiple Myeloma

CC-5013-PASS-TR/A non-interventional, multi-center, observational post authorization safety study of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma treated with Lenalidomide in Turkey. The study is anticipated to last for approximately 8 years. Recruitment period will continue until 500 subjects have commenced the third cycle of treatment with lenalidomide.

Quality of Life, Symptoms and Treatment Satisfaction in Adult Patients With Relapsed and/or Refractory...

Relapsed and/or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this pilot study is to examine changes in patient-reported outcomes in patients with RRMM receiving triple therapy with ixazomib in combination with LenDex in a real world setting as well as to analyze clinical outcomes and safety of this treatment modality.

Neurotoxic Effect of Bortezomib Treatment in Patient With Myeloma Multiple

Multiple MyelomaBortezomib Regimen1 more

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathies (CIPN) remain a problem in oncology because no "gold standard" treatment exists to prevent or treat the CIPN. Therefore, oncologists reduce or stop the chemotherapy doses to limit degradation of the quality of life of patients with CIPN. Bortezomib is relatively understudied while neurotoxicity remains a limiting factor for treatment. Since 2012, the FDA and the EMA validated by the administration of bortezomib subcutaneously (SC) instead of intravenous (IV) in order to limit neurotoxicity. However, a retrospective study reported that the prevalence of neuropathy induced by bortezomib after SC administration remains high and equivalent to IV route. No studies have quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated the sensory disorders in peripheral neuropathies induced by bortezomib after SC administration. On the other hand, the QLQ-CIPN20 questionnaire (EORTC) evaluating the intensity of sensory, motor and autonomic disorders associated with CIPN has never been tested in this population. The objective of this study is twofold: (i) psychophysical evaluation of neuropathic disorders by studying the thermal and vibratory detection thresholds and thermal nociceptive thresholds and (ii) quantitative and qualitative assessment of neuropathic disorders by the QLQ-CIPN20 and related comorbidities in a population of neuropathic patients treated with bortezomib (n = 15), compared to control patients treated with bortezomib but non-neuropathic (n = 45).

Bortezomib as First Salvage Therapy for Myeloma Patients Previously Exposed to Bortezomib as Initial...

Multiple Myeloma

This observational, non-interventional, retrospective, multicenter, national study focuses on collecting information about the effectiveness and safety of bortezomib re-use at first relapse in MM patients already treated in their first line with a bortezomib-based regimen, re-challenged with the same drug according to current clinical practice and/or Italian SIE/SIES/GITMO, IMWG and/or NCCN Guidelines/Treatment Recommendations. Data will be collected retrospectively from approximately 25 haematologic/oncologic sites in Italy. Approximately, data of up to 100 patients will be collected.

Role of BCL-B in Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma

MM accounts for 10% of hematopoietic malignancies. Despite the use of various drug combinations in chemotherapy, life expectancy of MM patients does not exceed 7 years. Until now, lack of specific markers of the disease has not allowed efficient specific molecular targeting. In view of our preliminary results, the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-B could be a novel diagnostic and pronostic marker of MM. Therefore, our main objective will be to confirm that Bcl-B is indeed a novel diagnostic and pronostic marker and a new potential therapeutic target of MM. Targeting Bcl-2 family member's is a promising strategy for the treatment of hematopoietic malignancies. In this context, specific targeting of Bcl-B could improve the treatment of patients suffering MM. Of note, this could be achieved by converting the antiapoptotic function of Bcl-B to a proapoptotic one thanks to the use of small mimetic peptides derived from Nur77 one of its interactors.

Immune Profiling in Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma

This study propose to investigate the immune repertoire of MM patients at the time of diagnosis vs. 1st vs. 2nd vs. 3rd relapse. This study will provide insights into the immune status of MM patients before and after disease transformation and help identify patients who will benefit from immunotherapy. It will also allow us to predict the efficacy of these immune-mediated strategies and their associated toxicity. By understanding the immune-microenvironment in MM patients during disease progression, the investigator will be able to better design immunotherapeutic strategies for maximal success.

Microdose Study of Melphalan, Bortezomib and Dexamethasone

Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of the study is to identify specific genes that are up- or downregulated in multiple myeloma patients who receive a microdose of either Melphalan (Alkeran®), Bortezomib (Velcade®) or Dexamethasone (Dexaven®). The study treatment constitutes 1% of the planned standard myeloma treatment and will be given two hours prior to standard treatment. Blood samples are taken at baseline, 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes for microarray analysis.

Use Lay Language. HA Score to Identify Myeloma Patients Who Could Benefit From HDACi Treatment

Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Panobinostat is a potent oral histone deacetylase inhibitor that alters gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms and inhibits protein degradation. It was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM) who have received ≥ 2 prior regimens, including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory drug. A GEP-based histone acetylation score allowing identification of MM patients with a poor prognosis and who could benefit from HDACi treatment was recently reported(Moreaux et al. BJC. 2013). Our hypothesis is that the histone acetylation score could be promising to identify MM patients who could benefit from treatment with HDACi and the development of personalized treatment.
