Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trials

A Phase I study to evaluate the safety of a novel, orally available, selective, and potent small molecule inhibitor of the histone lysine methyl transferase MMSET (also known as NSD2/WHSC1) to prevent the dimethylation of H3K36 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

This is a Phase Ib/II, open-label, multi-center study evaluating the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and PK/ Pharmacodynamics of APG-2575 in combination with Pd/DRd in patients with relapsed/refractory (RR) multiple myeloma (MM). The study consists of dose escalation and dose expansion phases. The study consists of will start with 2 arms noted below, both arms are independent Read Less

The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of romosozumab on bone formation and breakdown (resorption) and determine if romosozumab is a safe treatment for osteoporosis and myeloma-related bone disease (MBD) in postmenopausal people with multiple myeloma (MM). Read Less

The purpose of this study is to find out whether cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, dexamethasone (CyBorD) with daratumumab SC is a safe treatment combination for MGRS-associated kidney disease including cast nephropathy associated with multiple myeloma. In addition, the researchers will find out whether the study drug combination is an effective treatment for these conditions. Read Less

Doctors leading this study hope to learn if the combination of belantamab mafodotin, carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone is effective and safe when given to people who have multiple myeloma that has gotten worse and is not responding to standard drugs that are used for treating multiple myeloma, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. Participation in this research will last about 6 -24 months, but it may be less or more depending on your response to treatment. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of belantamab mafodotin monotherapy in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM) participants with impaired hepatic function and in matched RRMM participants with normal hepatic function. Read Less

Cancer and treatment-related cognitive changes hinder resumption of normal routine and roles and worsen quality of life. Older adults undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are at high-risk for cognitive impairment. Physical activity improves cognitive function in older adults and survivors of other cancers. We hypothesize that increasing physical activity can also improve cognitive function in this vulnerable population. The objective of this research is to adapt and test an evidence-based physical activity intervention, The Community Health Activities Model Program for Seniors II (CHAMPS II), in the HCT setting for adults 60 years and older. Aim 1: Adapt the CHAMPS-II manual and develop study materials using feedback from up to 10 patient/care-partner dyads who have experienced the HCT process within the last 3-6 months and HCT team members via semi-structured interviews. Aim 2: Iteratively adapt and implement CHAMPS-II intervention in three waves (2-6 patient/care-partner dyads per wave). The dyads will participate in a multi-phase, light to moderate-intensity physical activity program through Day 100 post-HCT. Aim 3: Test the preliminary effectiveness of the adapted intervention to improve cognitive function compared to a wait-list control condition (N = 34 per group) in a 2-arm, pilot randomized controlled trial. Primary and secondary outcomes will include subjective and objective cognitive function using a short battery of neuropsychological tests and a self-report questionnaire. Tertiary outcomes comprise subjective and objective measures of physical activity behavior and physical function. The RE-AIM framework will be utilized for formative and process evaluation during the adaptation process and implementation of the intervention. Read Less

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether talquetamab is an effective treatment after BCMA CAR Tcell therapy for people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. All participants in this study will have already received the BCMA CAR T-cell therapy ide-cel for their disease. Read Less

This clinical trial compares the effectiveness of geriatric assessment (GA) guided interventions to accelerate functional recovery after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy compared to standard of care (SOC) in patients 60 years and older with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or multiple myeloma (MM). A large number of patients diagnosed with cancer are over the age of 60, yet most cancer treatments are developed for younger patients. Therefore, older patients may be less likely to be offered stronger treatments, such as CAR-T therapy, due to possible side effects. Geriatric assessment is a multi-dimensional health assessment tool combining patient reported and objective measures covering physical function, mental processes (cognitive), and nutrition. Pre-treatment assessments may identify weaknesses in older adults and may guide interventions for physical therapy, cognitive changes and nutrition to decrease CAR-T therapy side effects and improve care in older adults with NHL or MM.

This randomized, controlled study will compare Mindfulness Awareness Practices for Insomnia (MAP-I) to sleep health education (SHE) in subjects receiving autologous hematopoietic cell transplant for multiple myeloma. Read Less

The objectives of the proposed study are to develop and evaluate protocols for ethnic/racial minority-specific research using cancer registry data. In conjunction with the Cancer Registry of Greater California (CRGC), the investigators have developed procedures to identify, recruit, and survey ethnic/racial minority patients with MM. To pilot the study, the investigators aim initially to test the feasibility of this protocol by contacting 400 eligible patients (100 African Americans, 100 Latinos, 100 Asian American/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander-AANHPI and 100 non-Hispanic Whites as a comparison group) to conduct a pilot survey through which will ascertain etiological and survival-related factors for MM. Ultimately, the investigators hope the findings from this pilot will yield insight into the best practices for recruiting minorities with MM and serve as the basis for larger population-based studies of MM etiology and survival. The next phase of this study is to expand the study to all 3 California Cancer Registries, including the Greater Bay Area Cancer Registry and the Los Angeles Cancer Surveillance Program and Cancer Registry of Greater California. We will increase the sample size to recruit atleast 1000 participants per racial/ethnic group. We will also request to increase the scope of the study to also continue a survivorship cohort.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy in adults. The current standard of care for MM patients fit to undergo high dose conditioning chemotherapy is an autologous HCT (autoHCT). Allogeneic HCT (alloHCT) is the only potentially curative therapy available to patients with MM. However, the significant morbidity and mortality of this procedure historically limited its application in older patients. Thus, although potentially curative, standard risk MM patients have excellent prognoses in the era of novel therapies which reduces the overall benefit of alloHCT. However, because the outcomes for high-risk MM remain poor despite the best available standard therapies (overall survival of 24-36 months), initial data suggest that alloHCT should be explored in this subset.
