This clinical trial evaluates whether prehabilitation with aerobic and resistance exercise improves physical fitness and quality of life outcomes in older patients planning to undergo chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy for multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). CAR-T therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. Large numbers of the CAR-T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. While CAR-T therapy is commonly used to treat multiple myeloma, it can result in toxicities that lead to hospitalization, nerve and muscle impairment, and decreased physical function. Prehabilitation programs use targeted interventions to improve functional status prior to medical or surgical treatments. In this study, patients participate in personalized aerobic and resistance prehabilitation activities in the weeks leading up to their CAR-T infusion. This program may improve physical fitness and quality of life, both prior to and after CAR-T infusion, in older patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
This phase II trial tests how well giving dasatinib and quercetin with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Dasatinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply, which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Quercetin is a compound found in plants that may prevent multiple myeloma from forming. Chemotherapy such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine are given to help kill any remaining cancer cells in the body and to prepare the bone marrow for CAR-T therapy. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell Therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving dasatinib and quercetin with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and CAR-T cell therapy may kill more cancer cells in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell disease characterized by the growth of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. The purpose of this study is to assess the adverse events and change in disease activity of etentamig in combination with a cereblon E3 ligase modulatory drug (CELMoD) agent in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM). Adverse events and change in disease state will be assessed. Etentamig is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R MM. Study doctors put the participants in groups called treatment arms. Multiple doses of etentamig in combination with iberdomide will be explored. Each treatment arm receives a different dose of etentamig and iberdomide to determine a tolerable dose. Approximately 135 adult participants with R/R MM will be enrolled in the study in approximately 50 sites worldwide. In phase 1 participants will receive escalating intravenous (IV) etentamig in combination with oral iberdomide. In phase 2 participants will receive IV etentamig at one of two doses in combination with oral iberdomide, as part of the approximately 129 month study duration. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and and monitoring of side effects.
Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of blood cancer that affects a person s immunity. MM returns after treatment (relapse) in almost all people; MM may also not respond to initial treatment (refractory). Many people with relapsed refractory MM (RRMM) also have changes in their KRAS and NRAS genes. Researchers want to try a new drug treatment that targets cancer with these changed genes. Objective: To test 2 drugs (mirdametinib and sirolimus) in people with RRMM. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older with RRMM who have changes in their KRAS or NRAS genes. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have blood tests and imaging scans. They will have an eye exam and a test of their heart function. They will need to provide proof of their disease status and of their KRAS or NRAS status. If neither is available, the tests will be repeated. Participants will have a bone marrow biopsy: A needle will be inserted into a hipbone to draw out some soft tissue. This study will be done in two parts. In the first part of this study, we will find a safe dose of mirdametinib combined with sirolimus. In the second part, we will learn more about how mirdametinib combined with sirolimus may work against RRMM. Mirdametinib (capsules) and sirolimus (tablets) are taken by mouth. Participants will take both drugs at home on a 4-week cycle. They will take mirdametinib twice a day for the first 3 weeks of each cycle. They will take sirolimus once a day, every day, during each cycle. Participants will have study visits once a week during the first cycle, and then on the first day of subsequent cycles. Blood, heart, imaging scans, and other tests will be repeated. Treatment with the study drugs will go on for 1 year. Then participants will have follow-up visits every 3 months for 4 more years.
This research is being done to determine if the combination of the Dendritic Cell (DC)/ Multiple Myeloma (MM) fusion vaccine with elranatamab is safe and effective in treating Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma (MM). The names of the study drugs and vaccine involved in this study are: * DC/MM fusion vaccine (a personalized cancer vaccine in which harvested participant tumor cells are fused with harvested participant dendritic blood cells) * Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) (a type of growth factor) * Elranatamab (a type of T-cell engager antibody)
This study evaluates the efficacy of elranatamab alone in patients with relapsed and/or refractory Multiple myeloma who has previously received 1 to 3 combinations of treatment.
This phase II trial studies how well mezigdomide/carfilzomib/dexamethasone (MeziKD) works in treating patients with multiple myeloma (MM) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and have tumors from myeloma cells outside the bone marrow in the soft tissues or organs of the body (extramedullary disease \[EMD\]). Mezigdomide blocks important processes in myeloma cells and may lead to modulation of the immune system, including activation of T-lymphocytes, and downregulation of the activity of other proteins, some of which play key roles in the proliferation of certain cancer cell types. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Dexamethasone is a type of corticosteroid and is used to kill myeloma cells. It is used with other drugs to treat multiple myeloma. Giving MeziKD may kill more cancer cells in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with EMD.
This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of SX-682 in combination with standard of care treatment carfilzomib, daratumumab-hyaluronidase, and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). SX-682 works by blocking certain sites on cells that suppress the ability of the immune system to destroy tumor cells. Blocking those specific sites allows other cells of the immune system to become "free" to kill tumor cells. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and tumor cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill tumor cells, while hyaluronidase helps to deliver daratumumab to CD38-expressing tumor cells through a subcutaneous injection. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is known to kill myeloma cells and is also used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to monoclonal antibodies like dratumumab and help lessen its side effects. Giving SX-682 in combination with carfilzomib, daratumumab-hyaluronidase and dexamethasone may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of iberdomide in combination with teclistamab in treating multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Iberdomide is a medication that belongs to a group of drugs known as cereblon E3 ligase modulators. Iberdomide works by targeting and destroying proteins that help myeloma cancer cells to survive. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as teclistamab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving iberdomide in combination with teclistamab may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
