Active clinical trials for "Multiple Myeloma"

This randomized phase II trial studies how well celecoxib works in preventing multiple myeloma in patients with monoclonal gammopathy or smoldering myeloma. Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. The use of celecoxib may be effective in preventing multiple myeloma.

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravenous zoledronic acid in the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma stage III with bone lesions related to Cancer.

This is a non-randomised, open-label phase I study of an investigational medicinal product (IMP) consisting of a HLA-A*02:01 restricted HA-1H T cell receptor transduced T cell (MDG1021) immunotherapy for relapsed or persistent hematologic malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The aim of the study is to determine the recommended phase II dose of MDG1021.

This is a phase II, single-arm, open-label study in subjects with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) comparing Pembrolizumab (Pembro) in combination with Daratumumab (Dara) to the historical control of Daratumumab.

This phase II trial studies how well daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone work in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed). Immunotherapy with daratumumab may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pomalidomide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving daratumumab with dexamethasone and pomalidomide may work bettering in treating patient compared to dexamethasone and pomalidomide alone.

The purpose of this study is to study the safety and preliminary efficacy of a dendritic cell DKK1 vaccine against myeloma. Dendritic cells are immune cells that are collected from the blood of the patient at Case Western Reserve Medical Center and then brought into contact with DKK1, a molecule that is present of myeloma cells but not to a significant amount on other cells except for the prostate and the placenta. It is an investigational (experimental) vaccine that based on studies in the laboratory and in mice is expected to work by presentation of DKK1 to anticancer immune cells via dendritic cells leading to an immune attack on myeloma cells. It is experimental because it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Background: COVID-19 is a viral infection. It has spread rapidly across the globe. It has overwhelmed health systems. Researchers are concerned that it may undo years of progress in the reduction of cancer-specific death. They want to test a vaccine that might protect people with cancer from COVID-19. Objective: To test the safety and efficacy of a vaccine using mRNA-1273 that may protect people with cancer from COVID-19. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have a solid tumor or blood cancer and who may benefit from a vaccine that might prepare their immune system for fighting and preventing infection from COVID-19. Patients with solid tumors must be receiving treatment with an immunotherapy agent Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, medicine review, and physical exam. They will have blood tests. They will have a pregnancy test if needed. Participants will get 2 doses of the mRNA-1273 vaccine if they have not been vaccinated already. It will be injected into a muscle in the arm on Days 1 and 29. They will be followed for 12 months after the second dose. Participants will have study visits at the Clinical Center on Days 1, 29, 36,57, 209, and 394. Some visits will last about 4-6 hours. Patients will be able to get up to 3 doses of mRNA-1273 as a booster on trial if they have already completed a primary series of a vaccine. Participants who have already received a booster dose of vaccine will be able to enroll to receive additional boosters. It will be injected into a muscle in the arm on Day 1. Participants will be followed for 12 months after their last booster injection. Participants who receive booster doses will have study visits at the Clinical Center on Days 1, 29, 57, 180 and 360. Participants will give blood and saliva samples for research. Participation will last about 16 months.

This is a phase 2 clinical trial comparing time to neutrophil recovery after autotrasplant using generic pegfilgrastim vs brand-name pegfilgrastim.

This research study is studying a combination of targeted therapies as a possible treatment for multiple myeloma (MM). The drugs involved in this study are: Elotuzumab Nivolumab Pomalidomide Dexamethasone

This is a pilot study to evaluate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) for mobilizing hematopoietic progenitor cells from bone marrow to blood. These cells are needed for patients to undergo bone marrow transplantation and some patients fail to respond to current best chemotherapy. HBO2 has been shown to trigger stem cell mobilization in other patient populations and we plan to investigate whether this intervention can act in concert with chemotherapeutic agents to allow poor mobilizer patients to achieve successful bone marrow transplantation. Twenty patients will be identified by participating hematologists who have failed to respond adequately to chemotherapy. When it is deemed appropriate to attempt an additional stem cell mobilization protocol, these patients will be administered chemotherapy as determined by their primary treating hematologist and additionally receive daily HBO2 (2.5 atmospheres absolute [ATA] for 90 minutes) for 3-8 days. At intervals, blood samples will be obtained as is the normal transplantation protocol practice to assess whether adequate stem cells are present in blood for the patient to proceed with transplantation. The project is anticipated to take one year to complete.
