This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of isatuximab when given together with carfilzomib with or without dexamethasone and lenalidomide in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not respond to previous treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as isatuximab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. 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 and 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. Giving isatuximab and carfilzomib with or without dexamethasone and lenalidomide may be a better treatment for patients with multiple myeloma. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical benefit of subcutaneous (SC) daratumumab administered in combination with standard multiple myeloma (MM) regimens in participants with MM as measured by overall response rate (ORR) or very good partial response (VGPR) or better rate. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of administration of daratumumab when combined with VELCADE (bortezomib) and dexamethasone compared with bortezomib and dexamethasone alone, for participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of daratumumab when combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (DRd) to that of lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd), in terms of progression-free survival in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and dose regimen of daratumumab when administered in combination with various treatment regimens for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Read Less

A randomized Phase II clinical trial will be conducted to assess the impact on progression free survival (PFS) with the addition of ixazomib and daratumumab to lenalidomide as a maintenance treatment following induction with lenalidomide, ixazomib, dexamethasone, and daratumumab. Patients will be randomized to either: Arm A: 12 cycles of lenalidomide, ixazomib, daratumumab, and dexamethasone followed by lenalidomide until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or a maximum of 2 years of maintenance therapy. Arm B: 12 cycles of lenalidomide, ixazomib, daratumumab and dexamethasone, followed by lenalidomide, ixazomib, and daratumumab until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or a maximum of 2 years maintenance therapy.

This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of SX-682 in combination with standard of care treatment carfilzomib, daratumumab-hyaluronidase, and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). SX-682 works by blocking certain sites on cells that suppress the ability of the immune system to destroy tumor cells. Blocking those specific sites allows other cells of the immune system to become "free" to kill tumor cells. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Daratumumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called CD38, which is found on some types of immune cells and tumor cells, including myeloma cells. Daratumumab may block CD38 and help the immune system kill tumor cells, while hyaluronidase helps to deliver daratumumab to CD38-expressing tumor cells through a subcutaneous injection. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is known to kill myeloma cells and is also used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to monoclonal antibodies like dratumumab and help lessen its side effects. Giving SX-682 in combination with carfilzomib, daratumumab-hyaluronidase and dexamethasone may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma Read Less

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the safety and dosing of the study drug, magrolimab, in combination with other anticancer therapies in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Read Less

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to compare anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block (AFCN) to adductor canal block ACB) for pediatric patients undergoing either anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). The aims of this trial are: * To measure postoperative functional outcomes in patients who received AFCNB vs. ACB. * To calculate postoperative opioid requirements in pediatric knee surgeries that received AFCNB vs. ACB. * To calculate pain intensity levels at rest and with ambulation in patients who received AFCNB vs. ACB. * To quantify sensory deficits in patients who received AFCNB vs. ACB. * To assess patient-reported outcome measures (e.g., pain expectation scale, pain management satisfaction, PROMIS Pediatric Short Form v1.0 - Physical Activity, PROMIS Scale v1.2 - Global Health) in patients 8-18 years of age who received AFCNB vs. ACB. Subjects undergoing ACL procedures will be compared between those who received the adductor canal block to those who received the anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block. The researchers will also compare individuals who underwent MPFL procedures and received an anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block with those who received the adductor canal block. Participants will: * Be randomized to receive either the AFCNB or ACB in addition to standard of care analgesia. * Maintain a patient diary to document daily pain meds/pain scores * Complete follow up surveys/questionnaires via telephone and during their office visits with surgeons.

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended dose and schedule, and evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of alnuctamab in combination with mezigdomide in participants with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the most efficacious and safest dexamethasone dose given intraoperatively during total knee arthroplasty that reduces postoperative opioid consumption and pain, improves postoperative nausea and vomiting, and minimizes postoperative complications. Read Less
