Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

Patients have a type of cancer called NHL, Multiple Myeloma (MM) or CLL that has come back or has not gone away after treatment. There is no standard treatment for the cancer at this time or the currently used treatments do not work completely in all cases like these. This is a gene transfer research study using special immune cells. The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease, antibodies and T cells, that investigators hope will work together. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from bacterial and other diseases. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including tumor cells. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers; they have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. The antibody used in this study recognizes a protein on the lymphoma, MM or CLL cells called kappa immunoglobulin. Antibodies can stick to lymphoma, MM or CLL cells when it recognizes the kappa molecules present on the tumor cells. For this study, the kappa antibody has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the T cells. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. These chimeric receptor-T cells seem to kill some of the tumor, but they don't last very long and so their chances of fighting the cancer are limited. In the laboratory, investigators found that T cells work better if they also add a protein that stimulates T cells to grow called CD28. By joining the anti-kappa antibody to the T cells and adding the CD28, the investigators expect to be able to make cells that will last for a longer time in the body (because of the presence of the CD28). They are hoping this will make the cells work better. Previously, when patients enrolled on this study, they were assigned to one of three different doses of the kappa-CD28 T cells. We found that all three dose levels are safe. Now, the plan is to give patients the highest dose that we tested. These chimeric T cells (kappa-CD28) are an investigational product not approved by the FDA.

RAPA-201-RRMM is an open-label, single-arm, non-randomized multicenter phase II study of RAPA-201 autologous T cells in adults with relapsed, refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least three (3) prior lines.

This research study is studying the combination of daratumumab with weekly carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in people with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma is the condition of returned or previous treatment resistant Multiple Myeloma. This research study involves two study drugs and two standard of care drugs. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: Carfilzomib Daratumumab The names of the standard of care drugs involved in this study are: Dexamethasone Pomalidomide

This is a Phase I/II study using the combination of twice weekly ixazomib plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone in relapsed and or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients.

The purpose of this study is to identify the recommended Phase 2 regimen(s) (RP2R[s]) and schedule for the study treatment (Part 1), to characterize the safety of the RP2R(s) for the study treatment (Part 2) and to evaluate the anticancer activity of talquetamab + teclistamab in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and extramedullary disease (EMD) (Part 3).

This is an open-label single center Phase 1a/1b study with the primary objective of establishing the safety and exploring the efficacy of infusing the ex vivo combination product of cytokine induced memory-like (CIML) NK cells plus KP1237 and low dose IL-2 in newly diagnosed MM patients who have minimal residual disease (MRD+) in first remission prior to autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of talquetamab in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma at the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) (Part 3).

This is a multicenter, open label clinical trial evaluating the safety of the combination of belantamab mafodotin + the combination treatment VRd (bortezomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone) in newly diagnosed (ND) transplant eligible multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Eligible patients will be included in the study and they will receive three induction cycles with belantamab mafodotin (8-week cycles) and six induction cycles with VRd (4-week cycles). Immediately after the fourth VRd cycle, and in the absence of progression or unacceptable toxicity, mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells with G-CSF and subsequent apheresis will take place. Then, patients will receive one additional induction cycle with belantamab mafodotin (8-week cycle) and two additional induction cycles with VRd (4-week cycles) followed by intensification with high-dose melphalan (200mg/m2) and the autologous stem cell transplant. Three months after transplantation, and as long as clinical and hematological conditions allow, patients will receive one cycle of consolidation with belantamab mafodotin (8-week cycle) and two additional cycles of consolidation with VRd (4-week cycles) at the same doses as during induction and, subsequently, patients will receive maintenance treatment with lenalidomide (continuously until disease progression, patient withdrawal, unacceptable toxicity, loss to follow up, end of study or death) and belantamab mafodotin (for 2 years).

Patients with newly diagnosed or known multiple myeloma with newly diagnosed vertebral lesion(s) will be invited to participate in a cross-sectoral randomized controlled trial. The trial will compare two groups of patients which either receive regular medical treatment of their vertebral lesion(s) or vertebroplasty in addition to regular medical treatment. Our goal is to investigate the effectiveness of vertebroplasty and determine the role of surgical treatment in the overall treatment of patients with multiple myeloma and vertebral lesion(s).

The purpose of this umbrella study is to evaluate isatuximab when combined with novel agents with or without dexamethasone in participants with relapsed or refractory myeloma.
