Dexamethasone Treatment Options in New York

This randomized phase III trial studies bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone to see how well they work compared to carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Bortezomib and carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Lenalidomide may help the immune system kill abnormal blood cells or cancer cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, 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. It is not yet known whether bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone are more or less effective than carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma Read Less

This randomized phase II trial compares how well two different doses of carfilzomib work when given with dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement or has not responded to treatment. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, 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 carfilzomib together with dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known whether a higher or lower dose of carfilzomib works better when given with dexamethasone. Read Less

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of selinexor and carfilzomib when given together with dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has returned or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as selinexor 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. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving selinexor, carfilzomib, and dexamethasone may be a better treatment for multiple myeloma. Read Less

This is a randomized, multicenter, Phase 3, open-label study evaluating subcutaneous (SC) vs intravenous (IV) administration of isatuximab in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Pd) in RRMM patients (study participants) who have received at least 1 prior line of therapy including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor (PI). Eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 into 1 of 2 study arms: Arm SC: Isatuximab SC + Pd Arm IV: Isatuximab IV + Pd Participants will be allowed to continue therapy until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events (AEs), participant request to discontinue therapy or any other reason, whichever comes first.

This trial will study SEA-BCMA to find out whether it is an effective treatment for multiple myeloma (MM) and what side effects (unwanted effects) may occur. The study will have several parts. In Parts A and B, participants get SEA-BCMA by itself. This part of the study will find out how much SEA-BCMA should be given for treatment and how often. It will also find out how safe the treatment is and how well it works. In Part C of the study, participants will get SEA-BCMA and dexamethasone. In Part D, participants will get SEA-BCMA, dexamethasone, and pomalidomide. Dexamethasone and pomalidomide are both drugs that can be used to treat multiple myeloma. These parts of the study will find out whether these drugs are safe when used together. Read Less

In this study, adults with newly-diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) will receive first-line therapy of ponatinib or imatinib. The main aim of this study is to compare the number of participants on each treatment that show no signs of disease. Participants will take tablets of either ponatinib or imatinib at the same time each day combined with reduced-intensity chemotherapy for up to 20 months. Then, they will continue with single-agent therapy (ponatinib or imatinib) until they meet the discontinuation criteria from the study. Read Less

This phase III trial studies tretinoin and arsenic trioxide in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia. Standard treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia involves high doses of a common class of chemotherapy drugs called anthracyclines, which are known to cause long-term side effects, especially to the heart. Tretinoin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Arsenic trioxide may stop the growth of cancer cells by either killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Completely removing or reducing the amount of anthracycline chemotherapy and giving tretinoin together with arsenic trioxide may be an effective treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia and may reduce some of the long-term side effects.

Primary Objective: Phase 1: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD) of SAR650984 (Isatuximab). Phase 2 (stage 1): To evaluate the activity of single-agent Isatuximab at different doses/schedules and to select dose and regimen to further evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) of Isatuximab as single agent or in combination with dexamethasone. Phase 2 (stage 2): To evaluate the activity in terms of overall response rate (ORR) of Isatuximab at the selected dose/schedule from stage1, as single agent (ISA arm) and in combination with dexamethasone (ISAdex arm). Secondary Objectives: Phase 1: * To characterize the global safety profile including cumulative toxicities. * To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of Isatuximab in the proposed dosing schedule(s). * To assess the pharmacodynamics (PD), immune response, and preliminary disease response. Phase 2 (stage 1): to evaluate the following objectives for Isatuximab as single agent: * Safety * Efficacy as measured by duration of response, clinical benefit rate, progression free survival, overall survival. Phase 2 (stage 2): to evaluate the following objectives in each arm (ISA and ISAdex): * Safety * Efficacy as measured by duration of response, clinical benefit rate, progression free survival, overall survival. * Participant-reported changes in health-related quality of life, symptoms of multiple myeloma and generic health status. * Pharmacokinetic profile of Isatuximab. * Immunogenicity of Isatuximab. * Investigate the relationship between CD38 receptor density and CD38 receptor occupancy (Stage 1 only) on multiple myeloma cells and parameters of clinical response.

The primary purpose of the phase 1 part of the study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of AMG 701 monotherapy to identify the RP2D for AMG 701 monotherapy followed by a dose-confirmation part to gather further safety data for AMG 701 monotherapy at the RP2D in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). In addition, this study will include a sequential dose exploration part to identify the RP2D of AMG 701 in combination with pomalidomide, with and without dexamethasone (AMG 701-P+/-d). Phase 2 will consist of the dose-expansion part to gain further efficacy and safety experience with AMG 701 monotherapy in adult subjects with RRMM. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to test whether giving high doses of carfilzomib along with the other drugs (lenalidomide and dexamethasone) is safe and which dose is best tolerated by patients. In addition, the study is designed to test the amount of remaining myeloma cells in the body after treatment with higher carfilzomib doses which is known as minimal residual disease (MRD). Read Less

This phase 2 trial will test whether the combination of DaraRd (daratumumab + lenalidomide + dexamethasone) as induction therapy, followed by DRVd (daratumumab + lenalidomide + bortezomib + dexamethasone) consolidation therapy, if needed, will result in more patients achieving minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative status, relative to the standard of care. Consolidation therapy will be administered only to those patients with MRD-positive status after induction therapy. This is a study based on adaptive design for decision making of treatment options. Duration of therapy (daratumumab cycles) will depend on individual approach, response, evidence of disease progression and tolerance. Read Less
