Dexamethasone Treatment Options in California

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of dexamethasone when given with azeliragon in managing cerebral edema after surgery (post-resection) in patients with glioblastoma. Cerebral edema is a pathological increase in the water mass contained within the brain interstitial space. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Azeliragon is an oral RAGE inhibitor. Blocking the RAGE pathway at the time of surgery (peri-operatively) may decrease cerebral edema. Giving dexamethasone with azeliragon may help control post-operative cerebral edema in decreasing doses of concurrently administered dexamethasone. Read Less

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a treatment regimen called IRD which will be given to participants after their stem cell transplant in an effort to help prolong the amount of time the participants are disease-free after transplant. IRD is a three-drug regimen consisting of ixazomib, lenalidomide (also called Revlimid), and dexamethasone. After 4 cycles of IRD, the participants will be randomized to receive maintenance therapy either with ixazomib or lenalidomide. Read Less

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of clarithromycin when given together with ixazomib citrate, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone and to see how well it works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has not responded to previous treatment. Biological therapies, such as clarithromycin, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving clarithromycin with ixazomib citrate, pomalidomide and dexamethasone may be a better treatment for patients with multiple myeloma. Read Less

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn how the experimental medicine maplirpacept (PF-07901801) affects people with various types of blood cancers: * relapsed or refractory (R/R) lymphoma * multiple myeloma * newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This trial will be conducted in the outpatient setting in 2 parts, phase 1a and phase 1b. You may only participate in one part of the study. During phase 1a of this study, we will explore how much maplirpacept (PF-07901801), when used by itself, can be safely used. If you have lymphoma, the study medicine maplirpacept (PF-07901801) will be given by infusion through a vein once a week or once every 2 weeks or every 3 weeks as determined by your doctor. Following your first dose, you will be expected to come back twice more the first week. From week 2, you will have weekly visits for blood tests, questions about your medications, any side effects, or illnesses you may have experienced and your cancer response. After you have completed 21 days (for every week dosing) or 42 days (for every 2- or 3-weeks dosing), your doctor will discuss whether you should stop study treatment or continue. If you continue, you will be expected to come back weekly for blood tests, vital signs, a brief physical exam, asked about any side effects or illnesses you may have experienced and medications you may be taking. The dosing schedule you are assigned to will continue until your disease has worsened, significant side effects occur or other reasons that lead you and your doctor to decide treatment may be stopped. To be eligible for the first part of the study you must be 18 years or older, your disease has worsened after receiving other medicines approved for blood cancer, no other treatment options exist for you, a sample of your tissue for exploratory research which can be taken from tissue already obtained or if necessary, a new sample of your tissue will be taken so your disease may be seen and measured on routine tests/scans. If you have had radiation therapy or received any anticancer medication within 14 days before the planned start of study treatment your doctor will let you know if you are eligible to participate in the study. If you have had major surgery within 30 days before the planned start of study treatment you may not be eligible to participate. The phase 1a part of the study may last up to 51/2 years. How long you participate in this study depends on side effects you may have to the study drug. It also depends on how your cancer responds to the study drug. Therefore, you may remain in the study as long as you and your study doctor think you may benefit. However, you are free to stop taking part in this study at any time and for any reason. During phase 1b part of this study, we will explore how much maplirpacept (PF-07901801), when used with other anticancer medicine(s), can be safe and reduce cancer growth. In the phase 1b part of this study, you will receive maplirpacept (PF-07901801) and other anticancer medicine(s). Which medicine combination you will receive depends on the types of cancer under treatment. Your treatment experiences will be examined to determine if maplirpacept (PF-07901801) when given with other anticancer medicine(s), is safe and can reduce cancer growth. To be eligible for the second part of the study you may have newly diagnosed Acute Myelocytic Leukemia with or without a genetic mutation or you have Multiple Myeloma or Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, and your disease has worsened. The Phase 1b part of this study may last as long as you and your study doctor think you may benefit which could be up to approximately 31/2 years. How long you participate in this study depends on side effects you may have to the study drug. It also depends on how your cancer responds to the study drug. Therefore, you may remain in the study as long as you and your study doctor think you may benefit. However, you are free to stop taking part in this study at any time and for any reason. Read Less

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of idasanutlin and ixazomib citrate when given together with dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has returned after a period of improvement. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idasanutlin 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. Ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving idasanutlin, ixazomib citrate, and dexamethasone together may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of oral cemsidomide (also known as CFT7455) administered at different dosages in subjects with Relapsed/Refractory (r/r) Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) or Multiple Myeloma (MM). Cemsidomide may be administered as a single agent and, in MM only, in combination with oral dexamethasone. Read Less

This phase III trial studies how well lenalidomide and dexamethasone works with or without daratumumab in treating patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as daratumumab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving lenalidomide and dexamethasone with daratumumab may work better in treating patients with smoldering myeloma. Read Less

This phase III trial compares the combination of four drugs (daratumumab, bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone) to the use of a three drug combination (daratumumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone). Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as lenalidomide, 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. Daratumumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. 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. Adding bortezomib to daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone may be more effective in shrinking the cancer or preventing it from returning, compared to continuing on daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone.
