Bortezomib and Chemotherapy for Systemic Light-Chain Amyloidosis
(Posted: 10/18/2011) - In this trial, patients with previously untreated systemic light-chain amyloidosis will be randomly assigned to receive melphalan and dexamethasone with or without bortezomib. Doctors will assess the overall hematologic response rates to these chemotherapy regimens, as well as organ responses.
Studying the Natural Course of Precursor Conditions to Multiple Myeloma
(Posted: 09/20/2011) - Doctors at NCI will examine people previously diagnosed with MGUS or smoldering myeloma when they enroll in the study, after 6 months, and every 12 months for up to 5 years to identify risk factors or molecular markers that reliably predict which people will progress to full-blown multiple myeloma.
Preventing Smoldering Multiple Myeloma from Progressing
(Posted: 07/12/2011) - In this trial, people diagnosed with smoldering myeloma will be treated with an experimental biological agent called IPH2101 that helps immune cells called natural killer cells, or NK cells, attack and destroy myeloma cells.
Comparing Post-transplant Therapies for Multiple Myeloma Patients
(Posted: 09/07/2010) - In this trial, patients age 70 or younger with multiple myeloma will be randomly assigned to treatment with one of three regimens after receiving high-dose melphalan chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.
Extending Targeted Immune Depletion to Unrelated Cord Blood Transplantation
(Posted: 03/09/2010) - In this pilot study, patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or certain premalignant blood disorders (such as myelodysplastic syndromes) will undergo targeted immune-depleting chemotherapy followed by unrelated double cord blood transplant.
