Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

The aim of this study is looking at the Kinetics of bone turnover markers (C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagene (CTX), amino-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (NTX), Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) and Sclerostin (SOST)) in serum and urine until 12 months in Patients with Multiple Myeloma Treated With intravenous bisphosphonates in routine care.

To find the recommended dose of NY-ESO-1 TCR/IL-15 NK cells that can be given to patients with relapsed or refractory MM. To learn if the dose of NY-ESO-1 TCR/IL-15 NK cells found in Part A can help to control the disease.

The goal of the China Monoclonal Gammopathy Screening Project in First-degree Relatives of Patients With Multiple Myeloma (CHAPERONE) study is to assess the clinical significance of screening for monoclonal gammopathy (M-protein) in first-degree relatives of patients with multiple myeloma in China population, and establish a prospective cohort of individuals with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), a precursor conditions to multiple myeloma. We will study these patients as a means to identify risk factors for progression to symptomatic multiple myeloma.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the more common hematological neoplastic disease second only to Hodgkin lymphoma. In MM patients, mutated genes are mainly KRAS (23%), NRAS (20%), FAM46C (11%), DIS3 (11%) e TP53 (8%). Epigenetics studies suggested that Changes in histone modifications and DNA methylation pattern, as well as non-coding RNAs (miRNAs) expression are involved in MM development. In particular, it has been shown that the aberrant expression of different miRNAs could discriminate healthy from ill patients. Unfortunately, the main critical issue for an effective treatment of MM is the intrinsic or acquired resistance to pharmacological treatments, due also to a plasmacellular clonal heterogeneity. The prospective study will involve a patient cohort with MGUS, MM smouldering and MM, with the aim to characterize different transcriptional and epigenetic features, also including miRNAs, among MM cells susceptible or resistant to conventional therapies. The final goal is to identify new prognostic and predictive biomarkers that could be used as therapeutic tools to improve clinical targeted therapies.

This phase II trial tests alternate doses and dosing schedules of belantamab mafodotin in treating patients with triple-class multiple myeloma that has come back (after a period of improvement) (recurrent) and/or does not respond to treatment (or that has not responded to previous treatment) (refractory). Belantamab mafodotin is a monoclonal antibody, belantamab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, mafodotin. Belantamab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as BCMA receptors, and delivers mafodotin to kill them. This trial may help researchers determine if alternate doses and dosing schedules work better in preventing certain side effects, such as eye toxicity, and treating patients with recurrent or refractory multiple myeloma.

In the present study, the effect of ear acupressure treatment according to the NADA protocol on the quality of life of patients with multiple myeloma (all stages) will be investigated. Furthermore, the effect of ear acupressure on anxiety and depression, pain, fatigue and sleep of the patients will be assessed.

The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the impact of All4Cure enrollment on patients with multiple myeloma. The main question it aims to answer are: • Does All4Cure effect patient activation as assessed by the PAM-13 survey? Participants will be asked to: fill out quarterly PAM-13 surveys through the All4Cure website to assess patient activation. fill out monthly Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) surveys through the All4Cure website. fill out a baseline and exit All4Cure surveys through the All4Cure website to assess patient perceptions of All4Cure at the beginning and the end of the study.

Most patients with multiple myeloma (MM) die due to relapse resistant to current treatment, including treatment with anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR-T cells. To overcome some of the potential limitations of this therapy, a new and optimized Anti-BCMA CAR-T has been developed, with the aim of using it in patients with MM who relapse after Allogeneic Haematopoietic Haematopoietic Progenitor. This trial is a prospective phase I/II trial with a 3+3 design. Once Dose Limiting Toxicity is identified, Phase II will begin to assess the efficacy of the procedure.

An open label, single-arm clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of ICI201 infusion in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell cancer that almost all patients eventually relapse despite advancement in treatment strategies. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a cell surface receptor that expressed primarily by malignant and normal plasma cells. This study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerance CXCR4 modified BCMA CAR T cells in treating standard treatment failed refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma, and will follow dose-escalating cohorts. The efficacy of CXCR4 modified BCMA CAR T will also be investigated.
