Dexamethasone Treatment Options in Texas

This randomized clinical trial is studying giving calaspargase pegol together with combination chemotherapy to see how well it works compared with giving pegaspargase together with combination chemotherapy in treating younger patients with newly diagnosed high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. Read Less

The purpose of the Phase 1 part of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and assess the safety, tolerability and activity of oprozomib in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in adults with primary refractory or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The purpose of the Phase 3 part of the study is to compare the efficacy for adults with primary refractory or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who are randomized to either oprozomib or placebo in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone.

This multicenter, open-label, Phase I study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab alone or in combination with daratumumab and/or various immunomodulatory agents in participants with MM who have relapsed or who have undergone autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Cycle length will be 21 days in Cohorts A to C and 28 days in Cohorts D to F. Read Less

To provide early treatment access and evaluate the safety of melflufen and dexamethasone in patients with triple class refractory (TCR) multiple myeloma (MM). Read Less

The purpose of this randomized, open-label, 2-arm, phase 3 study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of rovalpituzumab tesirine versus topotecan in participants with advanced or metastatic SCLC with high levels of DLL3, who have first disease progression during or following front-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if dexamethasone can help reduce shortness of breath in cancer patients. Researchers also want to learn if it can help to improve lung function and quality of life. In this study, dexamethasone will be compared to a placebo. Dexamethasone is commonly used for treatment of nausea, tiredness, and pain. It may help patients with shortness of breath. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the study drug but is not designed to treat any disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study drug has any real effect. Read Less

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best doses of carfilzomib and bendamustine hydrochloride when given together with dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has returned or does not respond 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 bendamustine hydrochloride, work to stop the growth of cancer cells by killing the cells. Biological therapies, such as dexamethasone, may stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving carfilzomib, bendamustine hydrochloride, and dexamethasone may be a better way to treat multiple myeloma. Read Less

The primary objective was to describe the safety profile of carfilzomib plus dexamethasone regimen in adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy at study entry. Read Less

This is a Phase I-Ib/II, open-label, multicenter study of AUY922 administered intravenously in patients with multiple myeloma to determine the maximum tolerated dose. The Phase II part will investigate the efficacy of AUY922 in patients with multiple myeloma. Additionally, the study includes a Phase Ib combination part of AUY922 administered in combination with bortezomib, to determine the maximum tolerated dose of the combination drugs in patients with multiple myeloma.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if intensive chemotherapy (with monoclonal antibody therapy in some patients) given for 8 courses over 5 to 6 months followed by monthly maintenance chemotherapy for 2 ½ years can improve or cure acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Read Less

The goal of this clinical research study is to compare chemotherapy given with rituximab to chemotherapy followed by rituximab. The safety of both treatment schedules will be studied. Laboratory tests of genetic changes in blood and bone marrow before and during the study will also be monitored. Read Less

This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of lenalidomide and thalidomide, and how well they work with dexamethasone in treating participants with multiple myeloma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, thalidomide 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.
