This research study is studying the combination of daratumumab with weekly carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in people with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma is the condition of returned or previous treatment resistant Multiple Myeloma. This research study involves two study drugs and two standard of care drugs. * The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Carfilzomib * Daratumumab * The names of the standard of care drugs involved in this study are: * Dexamethasone * Pomalidomide Read Less

This research study is studying a combination of study drugs as a possible treatment for relapsed and refractory Multiple Myeloma. The interventions involved in this study are elotuzumab, pomalidomide, bortezomib, dexamethasone. Read Less

This partially randomized phase II trial studies how well brentuximab vedotin or crizotinib and combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, called brentuximab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive cancer cells in targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Crizotinib and methotrexate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. It is not yet known whether brentuximab vedotin and combination chemotherapy is more effective than crizotinib and combination chemotherapy in treating anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Read Less

The main goal of this phase II study is to evaluate the overall response rate of isatuximab, belantamab mafodotin, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The study drugs provided for research purposes are isatuximab and belantamab mafodotin. Read Less

This was a randomized, controlled, open-label, Phase 3 multicenter study which enrolled patients with RRMM following 2-4 lines of prior therapy and who were refractory to lenalidomide in the last line of therapy as demonstrated by disease progression on or within 60 days of completion of the last dose of lenalidomide. Patients received either melflufen+dex or pomalidomide+dex. Read Less

RATIONALE: Giving bortezomib together with melphalan and dexamethasone may be an effective treatment for primary amyloidosis and light chain deposition disease. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving bortezomib together with melphalan and dexamethasone works in treating patients with primary amyloidosis or light chain deposition disease.

The objective of this expanded access program is to provide treatment with elotuzumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma at U.S. sites where licensed physicians determine clinical need. Read Less

This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of pomalidomide and ixazomib when given together with dexamethasone and to see how well pomalidomide and dexamethasone with or without ixazomib works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back. Biological therapies, such as pomalidomide and dexamethasone, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Ixazomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether pomalidomide and dexamethasone are more effective with or without ixazomib in treating multiple myeloma. Read Less

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2 study to determine the recommended dose and regimen of durvalumab in combination with lenalidomide (LEN) with and without dexamethasone (dex) in adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). The study will consist of a dose-finding phase as well as a parallel dose-expansion phase to determine the optimal regimen. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* The study was placed on full clinical hold by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 05 Sep 2017. The decision by the FDA was based on data from non-Celgene-sponsored studies related to risks of anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), pembrolizumab, in combination with immunomodulatory agents. As the result, the study was closed for further enrollment, and all subjects were discontinued from all study treatments (durvalumab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone). All subjects are being followed for second primary malignancies (SPMs), every 6 months for 5 years after the last subject has been enrolled as per protocol. After stopping data collection in the clinical database, any SPM events will continue to be recorded in the subject's source documents, and reported to Celgene Drug Safety. Read Less

This research is being done to assess the effectiveness and safety of the combination of nivolumab with ixazomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Read Less
