Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Plasma Cell"

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of ixazomib citrate (Ninlaro) to fulfill the regulatory authority's requirement of intensive drug monitoring (IDM) in Chinese population.

The outlook for patients with haematological malignancies remains challenging. It has been shown in some early cancer studies that a particular drug called Zn-DDC otherwise known as Imuthiol is highly toxic to cancer stem cells. Imuthiol has been intravenously used in clinical trials with an excellent safety record. Recent novel therapy and immunotherapy in haematological malignancies have improved outcome and survival but come with an increasing cost burden. Imuthiol could be an ideal affordable drug to study on it's own as well as in combination with other drugs in myeloma and other haematological malignancies. This may lead to potential combination therapies which will be very effective as well as affordable in the future. There is the need to look to see if this drug, Imuthiol and along with complementary drugs lenalidomide (Revlimid) and pomalidomide (Pomalyst) can help in haematological malignancy treatment. In order to do this there is the need to see how the cancer cells respond to the drugs in the laboratory before being able to trial the drug (or combination of drugs) out for treatment. The success of this study may lead to quick translation of Imuthiol into haematological malignancy treatment.

The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the clinical application of the XN-1000/20 hematology analyzer for risk stratification in patients with multiple myeloma based on the number of detected plasma cells in peripheral blood at the different stages of treatment. This clinical study is observational and does not involve drugs. 100 subjects with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma will be enrolled in this study and followed for 3 years.

The study is designed as a multicenter, non-randomized, Phase II trial with one treatment arm. A total of 82 patients of both genders and older than 18 years with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma are planned to be included in the study. After the first 6 patients will have finished the first treatment cycle of the induction phase the DMC will assess safety and tolerability of the treatment schedule and decide about the further continuation of the study.

To carry out research on minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) based on plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) methylation sequencing, which aims to explore new MRD detection methods for MM; Carry out ctDNA-based methylation sequencing in newly diagnosed, remission, and, relapsed MM patients, to track the clonal evolution patterns; and explore the in the initial diagnosis-remission-relapse stage of MM, track the clonal evolution characteristics of methylation profiles in MM patients during the disease progression.

A randomized, comparative, double-blind trial of pentaisomaltose and dimethyl sulphoxide for cryoprotection of hematopoietic stem cells in subjects with multiple myeloma or malignant lymphoma with a need for autologous transplantation

Pomalidomide either as single therapy or in combination with cyclophosphamide, elotuzumab, bortezomib, or daratumumab are effective treatment regimens in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Standard dosing is 4 mg/day during 21 days of a 28-day cycle (21/28). However, a clear dose-response association for pomalidomide in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is lacking. There is data supporting that a dose of 2 mg/day continuously (28/28) induces fewer side effects while efficacy is preserved, compared to 4 mg/day continuously. The response in patients who received pomalidomide 2 mg per day compared to 4 mg per day was higher, with a longer duration of response. In addition, a randomized phase II study showed no difference in efficacy between 4 mg (21/28) and 4 mg continuously. These clinical studies support that a dosage of pomalidomide of 2 mg (28/28) is at least comparable with a dosage of 4 mg (21/28). It is not known if 4 mg every other day (EOD) is comparable to a dosage of pomalidomide 2 mg (28/28) or 4 mg every day (QD, 21/28). For cost reasons, this is interesting as the costs of pomalidomide 4 mg and 2 mg are comparable. Therefore, from a patient and societal perspective, the investigators want to explore if an alternative scheme would be possible by performing a PKPD bio-equivalence pilot study.

We propose to conduct an ancillary prospective evaluation of the impact of Dara-Len-Dex discontinuation after 2 years, on the persistence of MRD negativity in patients that were MRD negative at 2 years.

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.

The main aim of this study is to check side effects and results in adults with multiple myeloma after switching from a bortezomib-based to an Ixazomib-based treatment. Treatment with NINLARO® will strictly follow the product label.
