Dexamethasone Treatment Options in New York

Note: The study data was transferred to zr pharma\& following the divestment of panobinostat to pharma\&. Prior to study completion under the sponsorship of Secura Bio, the study was initiated and conducted in part under the sponsorship of Novartis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of 3 different regimens of panobinostat (20 milligrams \[mg\] thrice a week \[TIW\], 20 mg twice a week \[BIW\], and 10 mg TIW) in combination with subcutaneous bortezomib and dexamethasone and to provide exposure, safety and efficacy data to identify the optimal regimen of panobinostat in a randomized, 3-arm parallel design. This study will also assess the impact of administering subcutaneous bortezomib (in combination with panobinostat and dexamethasone) twice weekly for 4 cycles, and then weekly starting from Cycle 5 until disease progression in participants ≤ 75 years of age. Participants \> 75 years of age will receive subcutaneous bortezomib weekly for the entire treatment period (in combination with panobinostat and dexamethasone) until disease progression. Participants will be treated until disease progression or until they discontinue earlier due to unacceptable toxicity or for other reasons. Participants who discontinued study treatment for reasons other than disease progression will be followed for efficacy every 6 weeks. All participants will be followed for survival until the last participant entering long-term follow-up has completed a 3-year survival follow-up or discontinued earlier. Read Less

REMAP-CAP is a randomised, embedded, multifactorial, adaptive platform trial for community-acquired pneumonia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a range of interventions to improve outcome of patients admitted to intensive care with community-acquired pneumonia. In addition, REMAP-CAP provides and adaptive research platform for evaluation of multiple treatment modalities in the event of a respiratory pandemic such as COVID-19. REMAP-COVID is a sub-platform of REMAP-CAP that evaluates treatments specific to COVID-19 in the United States of America. Read Less

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled (crossover) clinical study designed to investigate the specific dose-response impact of insulin infusion rate (IIR) on blood glucose levels during a pancreatic clamp study in the setting of dexamethasone-induced insulin resistance. The investigators will recruit participants with a history of overweight/obesity but no history of prediabetes or diabetes. Participants will be rendered temporarily insulin resistant by taking seven doses of dexamethasone. They will then undergo two pancreatic clamp procedures in which individualized basal IIR are identified, followed in one by maintenance of basal IIR (maintenance hyperinsulinemia, MH) and in the other by a stepped decline in IIR (reduction toward euinsulinemia, RE). In both clamps the investigators will closely monitor plasma glucose and various metabolic parameters. The primary outcome will be the absolute and relative changes in steady-state plasma glucose levels at each stepped decline in IIR. Read Less

This is a phase 1a/1b, multicenter, single-arm, open-label, dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and evaluate the safety and preliminary antitumor activity of ACY-241 for oral administration as monotherapy and in combination therapy with orally administered pomalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone in eligible patients with relapsed or relapsed-and-refractory multiple myeloma (MM).

This is a prospective, multi-center, pilot feasibility study to document the effects of adventitial delivery of temsirolimus or temsirolimus with dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection, USP, after revascularization of femoropopliteal lesions in symptomatic patients with moderate to severe claudication (Rutherford 2-3) or critical limb ischemia (CLI) with rest pain (Rutherford 4). Subjects will be followed for up to 60 months post index procedure. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of daratumumab and lenalidomide without steroids for treating patients with multiple myeloma. Read Less

This is a study to test the safety and effectiveness of the study drug, daratumumab in combination with carfilzomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone. The purpose of this study is to test whether giving daratumumab along with the other drugs (carfilzomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone) is safe for patients. Read Less

This phase III trial studies combination chemotherapy with or without lestaurtinib with to see how well they work in treating younger patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of stop cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Lestaurtinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without lestaurtinib in treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to see whether pomalidomide (also known as Pomalyst) reduces the number of myeloma cells in the bones, and to see what is the best way to use pomalidomide in patients with myeloma. To do this, the investigators want to compare two types of treatment using pomalidomde. This is a randomized trial which means that the decision as to which treatment the patient will receive will be made by a computer, much like flipping a coin. All patients start by receiving 4 cycles of clarithromycin, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (ClaPD). After 4 cycles, half of the patients will undergo an autologous stem cell transplant followed by pomalidomide (Group 1). The other half of the patients will continue to receive ClaPD for 9 cycles to be followed by pomalidomide maintenance. (Group 2). At the end of the study, the two groups will be compared to see if there is a difference in disease outcome. Read Less

The purpose of this study is assess safety, safest dose, and effectiveness of venetoclax in combination with dexamethasone in participants with t(11;14) positive relapsed (comes back) or refractory (did not get better) light chain amyloidosis. Read Less

This is a single-center, non-randomized, phase 2 study in which patients will receive daratumumab (subcutaneous, SC) in combination with clarithromycin/pomalidomide/dexamethasone (D-ClaPd) until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity. This study will test the hypothesis that in patients with previous daratumumab exposure, combination therapy of clarithromycin/pomalidomide/dexamethasone with daratumumab SC (D-ClaPd) will yield higher Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) rates in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients than historical pomalidomide/dexamethasone treatment.

This study will test the hypothesis that in patients with previous daratumumab exposure, combination therapy of daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone (DPd) will yield higher complete remission (CR) rates in relapsed/refractory amyloidosis than historical pomalidomide/dexamethasone treatment.
