2,193 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a prospective, non-interventional, observational study. The purpose of this study is to collect data and bio-specimens that will support future research
This is a research study to determine if the study drug lenalidomide will increase the body's immune response, which is the body's response against infections or tumors, to hepatitis B vaccine in patients with plasma cell diseases which include multiple myeloma, monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) and Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia. It is not a study to see if lenalidomide is an effective treatment for plasma cell disease. Participants in this study have multiple myeloma or other plasma cell disease and have never been vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine. One of the effects of the drug lenalidomide is to alter the immune system and thereby increase immune response. It also has some effect against cancer cells; therefore, in theory, it may reduce or prevent the growth of cancer cells. In this study, one-half of the subjects will be chosen at random to receive the study drug and the other half will take a placebo pill (a sugar pill that looks the same as the real medication). This is a double blind study where neither the subjects nor the investigators know whether the patient receives the study drugs or placebo pills. The effects of the active drug lenalidomide will be compared to the effects of the placebo. The results from this study will be also be compared with a similar but separate study to be done on individuals without known disease. This study expects to enroll 64 subjects and will be carried out at the Boston VA Healthcare System and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well tivantinib works in treating patients with relapsed, or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Tivantinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The investigators are researching patients with diseases of their plasma cells in order to improve their quality and length of life. The investigators have created a database of patient information, blood samples, and bone marrow tissue in order to achieve the following three goals: * Surveillance: The investigators want to track what treatments patients get or don't get, how effective they are, how they feel, what complications they suffer, how long they stay in remission, and how long they live. * Contact: Because myeloma and amyloidosis are rare, less than 700 patients are diagnosed in the state of Ohio each year, patients often feel they don't have accurate information. The investigators want to provide them access to our clinical team (both phone and email consultations, even office visits for patients that can come to Columbus) as well as information regarding informational events pertaining to your disease and local support groups. * Research: Because nearly all myeloma and amyloid patients relapse and treatment is eventually unsuccessful, our focus is to develop more effective treatments that not only prolong life, but cure the disease. Periodically the investigators will inform them about clinical trials studying new drugs or treatment paradigms.
This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM) or plasma cell leukemia (PCL) will receive investigational study drug ARRY-520 and bortezomib, with or without dexamethasone, with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) support. This study has 2 parts. In the first part, patients will receive increasing doses of study drug (2 dosing schedules will be evaluated) in combination with (1) bortezomib with G-CSF support or (2) bortezomib and dexamethasone with G-CSF support, in order to achieve the highest dose of study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Approximately 45 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 1 (Active, not recruiting). In the second part of this study, patients will receive the best dose(s) and schedule(s) of study drug, in combination with bortezomib ± dexamethasone + G-CSF, determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to see what side effects the combination causes and what effectiveness the combination has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 42 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 2 (Active, not recruiting).
This is a 2-phase study during which patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM) or plasma cell leukemia (PCL), who have already received at least two previous treatments, will receive investigational study drug ARRY-520. The study has 3 parts. In the first part of the study, Phase 1, patients will receive increasing doses of study drug, with or without granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) support, in order to achieve the highest dose possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Approximately 30 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 1 (Active, not recruiting). In the second part of the study, Phase 2, patients will receive the best dose of study drug determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to evaluate what side effects the study drug causes and what effectiveness it has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 30 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 2 (Active, not recruiting). In the third part of the study, Phase 2 with Dexamethasone, patients will receive the best dose of the study drug determined from the first part of the study, in combination with dexamethasone, and will be followed to evaluate what side effects the combination causes and what effectiveness the combination has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 50 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 3 (Active, not recruiting).
This is a first-in-human study of SAR446523 conducted in patients with RRMM. The study consists of two parts: Dose escalation (Part A): In this part, up to 6 dose levels (DLs) of SAR446523 will be explored to determine the maximum administered dose (MAD), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended dose range (RDR) of 2 dose regimens which will be tested in the dose optimization part. Dose optimization (Part B): In this part, participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio using interactive response technology (IRT) to either one of the chosen dose regimens of SAR446523 (determined from data coming from Part A), to determine the optimal dose as the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of SAR446523.
This is a Phase IB/II trial that will investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of combination therapy using All-Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) with Carfilzomib based therapies in plasma cell myeloma also commonly referred as Multiple Myeloma (MM), in patients considered refractory to proteasome inhibitors (PIs). Multiple myeloma is an incurable clonal plasma cell disorder that comprises 10% of all hematologic malignancies. Over the past 30 years the global prevalence of multiple myeloma has risen to 126%, with 85% of diagnoses occurring in patients \>55 years of age. In the past 15 years, survival has improved considerably, which is attributed to the development of multiple different classes of medications, including proteasome inhibitors. Proteasome inhibitors are the foundation of many multiple myeloma treatments in both transplant eligible and ineligible patients for the past 2 decades. While proteasome inhibitors have improved both progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), many patients eventually develop disease progression arising from resistance to therapies. As a result, there is an unmet need to overcome resistance and find ways to enhance multiple myeloma sensitivity to proteasome inhibitor toxicity. Carfilzomib, a modified peptide epoxyketone that selectively targets intracellular proteasome enzymes, is approved in combination with dexamethasone in patients that have received ≥1 line of therapy or in combination. There are few studies assessing ways to enhance carfilzomib-mediated multiple myeloma toxicity. All-Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) is an oxidative metabolite of retinol (vitamin A) and plays an important role in the regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation. In a recent pre-clinical study, ATRA was found to enhance sensitivity of carfilzomib-mediated apoptosis in vitro via an interferon beta (IFN-β) response pathway. In the clinical setting, ATRA is a well-tolerated drug that has shown little change in the rate of adverse events in early clinical trials with multiple myeloma. The investigators hypothesize that ATRA enhances sensitivity of multiple myeloma to carfilzomib therapy.
This study is designed to evaluate if treatment with adjuvant nivolumab improves depth of response in patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who achieve a less-than-ideal response to idecaptagene vicleucel.
Historically, the frailest patients with multiple myeloma are under-represented in clinical trials, and have very high rates of treatment discontinuation, and early treatment mortality. The investigators hypothesize that a go-slow gentle approach to starting treatment in such patients, starting with just Isatuximab and dexamethasone with a gentle introduction to lenalidomide third cycle onwards, may improve treatment adherence and quality of life. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a go-slow approach to treating MM in ultra-frail patients may improve the ability to adhere to treatment and improve quality of life.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy (overall response rate) of subcutaneous (SC) via on body delivery system (SC-OBDS) isatuximab in combination with weekly carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) in adult participants with RRMM having received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.
The primary purpose of the study is to understand how well the study drug can eliminate abnormal plasma cells and laboratory signs of high-risk monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (HR-MGUS) and non high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (NHR-SMM). This requires understanding the safety and tolerability of the study drug (how the body reacts to linvoseltamab) as well as the effectiveness of the study drug (how well linvoseltamab eliminates plasma cells). All participants will start treatment with gradually increasing doses of linvoseltamab (step-up doses) before they start receiving the assigned full dose. The study is split into 2 parts: * In Part 1, separate groups of 3-6 patients will receive different full doses of linvoseltamab to evaluate the short-term side effects (safety) and tolerability of the study drug within the first 5 weeks after starting treatment. The data collected will help to make a decision about the dosing regimens chosen for Part 2. * In Part 2, a larger number of participants will be randomized to different dosing regimens to further assess the side effects of linvoseltamab, and to evaluate the ability of linvoseltamab to eliminate abnormal plasma cells in HR-MGUS and NHR-SMM. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * How many participants treated with linvoseltamab have improvement of their HR-MGUS or NHR-SMM? * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug? * How much study drug is in the blood at different times? * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects).
This study evaluates the association between a comprehensive geriatric assessment and laboratory biomarkers with the side effects of chemotherapy in older patients with multiple myeloma (MM). The comprehensive geriatric assessment is a tool that can help to determine how fit a patient is. It is composed of a series of questions and tests designed for older people to evaluate their physical function, mental status, mental health, nutritional status, social support, level of social activity, and the presence of other medical problems. In addition to geriatric assessment domains, laboratory biomarkers may provide information on physiologic dysfunction as a measure for evaluation of frailty in the cancer setting. This study will help researchers in the future by predicting which patients will have more side effects with chemotherapy based on their comprehensive geriatric assessment and laboratory biomarkers, which will allow adjustments to treatment in older adult patients with MM.
This phase I trial tests the safety of \[89Zr\]DFO-YS5 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and how well it works to detect CD46 positive cancer cells in patients with multiple myeloma. \[89Zr\]DFO-YS5 is an imaging agent called a radiopharmaceutical tracer. A radiopharmaceutical tracer uses a small amount of radioactive material that is injected into a vein to help image different areas of the body. \[89Zr\]DFO-YS5 targets a specialized protein called CD46, which is in certain multiple myeloma cancer cells, and \[89Zr\]DFO-YS5 PET scans may improve detection of multiple myeloma.
* This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 2 treatment extension study in participants with multiple myeloma who are still benefitting from isatuximab based therapy following completion of a Phase 1, 2, or 3 parental study. * This Treatment Extension study has the purpose to provide continued access to isatuximab. Adult participants with multiple myeloma who have enrolled on an isatuximab parental study for which study objectives are completed will be eligible to be enrolled in this Treatment Extension study. * The primary objective of the study is to assess long-term safety of isatuximab as study treatment.
This phase III trial compares three-drug induction regimens followed by double-or single-drug maintenance therapy for the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in patients who are not receiving a stem cell transplant and are considered frail or intermediate-fit based on age, comorbidities, and functional status. Treatment for multiple myeloma includes initial treatment (induction) which is the first treatment a patient receives for cancer followed by ongoing treatment (maintenance) which is given after initial treatment to help keep the cancer from coming back. There are three combinations of four different drugs being studied. Bortezomib is one of the drugs that may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Lenalidomide works by helping bone marrow to produce normal blood cells and killing cancer cells. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as dexamethasone, lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Patients receive 1 of 3 combinations of these drugs for treatment to determine which combination of study drugs works better to shrink and control multiple myeloma.
This phase I/II trial studies the safety of the combination of bortezomib, dexamethasone, and pembrolizumab with or without pelareorep in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not response to treatment (refractory). Chemotherapy drugs, such as bortezomib 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A virus modified in the laboratory, such as pelareorep, may be able to kill cancer cells without damaging normal cells. Giving the combination of bortezomib, dexamethasone, and pembrolizumab with pelareorep may work better in treating patient with multiple myeloma.
This clinical trial tests the treatment effect of home based daratumumab administration in treating patients with multiple myeloma. Darzalex Faspro is a combination of two drugs (daratumumab and hyaluronidase) used to treat adults with multiple myeloma. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by helping the body to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. Hyaluronidase-fihj is an endoglycosidase. It helps to keep daratumumab in the body longer so that the medication will have a greater effect. Standard medical care requires Darzalex-Faspro treatment be administered during visits to the cancer center. Receiving medication in the home setting, may decrease cost and burden of care in patients with multiple myeloma.
This phase II trial test whether combination chemotherapy works to improve blood test results in patients with high-risk multiple myeloma. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carfilzomib, daratumumab, lenalidomide, 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. This trial may help determine if patients who have a small amount of cancer left after the initial treatment, called minimal residual disease, will benefit from the drug combination.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of MUC1-activated T cells in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) and is positive for expression of the MUC1 protein. T-cells are infection fighting blood cells that can kill cancer cells. MUC1-activated T-cells are made from the body's own T cells. The manufactured T-cells are made to target the MUC1 genetic marker and may help the body's immune system identify and kill cancer cells.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of iberdomide and how well it works in combination with daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Immunotherapy with iberdomide, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Daratumumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as 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 iberdomide in combination with daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
This phase I trial finds out the best dose and side effects of venetoclax and tocilizumab in treating patients with t(11;14) multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Tocilizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Tocilizumab is used to treat side effects from immune therapy in patients with myeloma. Giving venetoclax and tocilizumab may kill more cancer cells.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of actinium Ac 225-DOTA-daratumumab (225Ac-DOTA-daratumumab) in combination with daratumumab and indium In 111-DOTA-daratumumab (111In-DOTA-daratumumab) in treating patients with multiple myeloma that does not respond to treatment (refractory) or that has come back (recurrent). Daratumumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. 111In-DOTA-daratumumab and 225Ac-DOTA-daratumumab are forms of radioimmunotherapy in which a monoclonal antibody, daratumumab, has been linked to a radiotracer to allow for targeted delivery of the treatment to cancer cells. Giving all three together may kill more cancer cells.
This study is a Phase II study to determine the preliminary safety and efficacy of salvage radiation treatment after BCMA CAR-T therapy in subjects with RRMM. The study population will consist of subjects with RRMM previously treated with SOC BCMA CAR-T cell therapy with active disease on the D30+ PET or other imaging scan after CAR-T infusion. Patients who are planned for salvage chemotherapy less than 14 days after completion of radiation treatment will be excluded. Radiation treatment will be to bony or soft tissue plasmacytomas in up to five radiation treatment fields to 10-20Gy (or equivalent dose in 2Gy fractions of 10-21Gy). Final dose, target, and technique are per treating radiation physician discretion within these guidelines. Thirty patients will be enrolled. The co-primary endpoints are objective response rate (ORR) at 6 months and duration of response (DOR) among responders.
This clinical trial investigates the effect of non-chemotherapeutic interventions in patients with multiple myeloma or MDS. Non-chemotherapeutic interventions such as physical activity and nutritional interventions (e.g., modifications in diet) have been shown to positively affect the immune system and improve overall quality of life. Another purpose of this study is for researchers to learn how the addition of a beta-blocker (propranolol) to the standard treatment regimen in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma affects immune response and quality of life. A study from the Mayo Clinic looked at multiple myeloma patients who were on a beta-blocker while undergoing chemotherapy and found that the use of a beta-blocker resulted in improved patient survival outcomes. Non-chemotherapeutic treatment options may help decrease symptoms and improve quality of life for patients with multiple myeloma.
This phase II trial studies the effect of immunomodulatory drug(s) in combination with a corticosteroid drug in treating patients with multiple myeloma or smoldering multiple myeloma. Immunomodulatory drugs such as lenalidomide and pomalidomide work through a variety of mechanisms to affect the function of the immune system. They are widely used as treatment for multiple myeloma and remain the backbone of therapy for both newly diagnosed patients and patients that have multiple myeloma that has come back after treatment (relapsed). Corticosteroid drugs like dexamethasone are strong anti-inflammatory agents that are also widely used to treat patients with multiple myeloma. This study may help doctors find out how patients respond to one treatment cycle of immunomodulatory drug(s) in combination with dexamethasone. This may help doctors determine which combinations of drugs work best in treating patients with multiple myeloma or smoldering multiple myeloma.
This phase II trial studies the effect of belantamab mafodotin, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in treating patents with high-risk myeloma. Belantamab mafodotin is a monoclonal antibody, called belantamab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called mafodotin. Belantamab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules on the surface of cancer cells, known as BCMA receptors, and delivers mafodotin to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as pomalidomide, 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. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as dexamethasone lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Giving belantamab mafodotin, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells.
This phase II trial studies the effect of pembrolizumab in treating patients with multiple myeloma that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressing) on chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This phase II trial tests whether pembrolizumab works to shrink tumors in patients with multiple myeloma whose cancer has come back (relapsed) or did not respond to previous treatment (refractory) with anti-BCMA CAR-T therapies. Immunotherapy with pembrolizumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.
This clinical trial examines a telehealth exercise intervention in improving physical function and frailty in multiple myeloma survivors. The exercise program uses a telehealth platform (delivered by smart phones, tablets, or computers) to view pre-recorded exercise videos on coordination, posture, stretching, balance, and resistance/aerobic (cardio) training. Frailty includes being underweight, slow walking speed, exhaustion, low physical activity, and weakness. Participating in an exercise program may help improve patient's physical function and strength.
