Tandem Auto Transplantation in Myeloma Patients With <12 Months of Prior Treatment
Terminated
This study is designed to decrease toxicity associated with prior tandem transplant protocols by reducing the intensity of induction, consolidation and maintenance therapy, while increasing event-free survival by adding bortezomib (Velcade®), thalidomide, gemcitabine and carmustine to the transplant regimens to down-regulate the rescue of myeloma cells by the micro-environment and to prevent DNA repair post high-dose alkylating agent therapy. By reducing drug resistance, it is hoped that 3-year... Read More

Effect of a Multimodal Pain Regimen on Pain Control, Patient Satisfaction and Narcotic Use in Orthopaedic Trauma Patients
Withdrawn
The study is a prospective, randomized, open-label comparison of a multimodal regimen and a standard, narcotic-based regimen for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing surgery for an operatively indicated, isolated extremity fracture. The investigators will be measuring pain levels, narcotic use, patient satisfaction, patient reported function, adverse events and fracture union. The investigators hypothesize that this multimodal regimen will lead to improved pain, less narcotic use an... Read More

Aprepitant in Preventing Nausea and Vomiting in Patients Who Are Undergoing a Stem Cell Transplant
Completed
RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs, such as aprepitant, ondansetron, and dexamethasone, may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying aprepitant, ondansetron, and dexamethasone to see how well they work compared to placebo, ondansetron, and dexamethasone in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients who are undergoing a stem cell transplant.

Safety Study of the Proteasome Inhibitor PR-171 (Carfilzomib for Injection) in Patients With Hematological Malignancies
Completed
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of carfilzomib at different dose levels on hematological cancers such as multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, or Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. Carfilzomib is a proteasome inhibitor, an enzyme responsible for degrading a wide variety of cellular proteins.

Methotrexate, Cyclophosphamide, and Etoposide Phosphate Given With Osmotic Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Plus Dexamethasone and Cytarabine in Treating Patients With Primary CNS Lymphoma
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, etoposide phosphate, dexamethasone, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Osmotic blood-brain barrier disruption uses certain drugs to open the blood vessels around the brain and allow anticancer substances to be delivered directly to the brain. Giving methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide phosphate with osmotic blood-brain barrier disruption plu... Read More
