This is a first in human, phase 1, multicenter, open-label study to determine the safety and tolerability of IGM-2644 as a single agent in participants with relapsed and/or refractory MM, for whom standard therapy does not exist, has proven to be ineffective or intolerable, or is considered inappropriate. Dose escalation and dose expansion cohorts will be enrolled to evaluate safety, preliminary efficacy, and further define a RP2D. The total length of the study, from screening of the first participant to the end of the study, is expected to be approximately 60 months.
This is a prospective, observational, single group and multicenter study to describe the effectiveness and safety of maintenance with V-Dara after induction with the VMP-Dara regimen in newly diagnosed MM patients who are not eligible for ASCT. Patients will be enrolled in the study during a regularly scheduled office visit in clinical practice (screening and enrollment visit) and followed during 3-4 years in what will be called the Observational Phase. During this phase, the patient will be followed by his/her doctor as per routine clinical practice, according to his/her disease. The patient will not suffer any changes in his/her...
The purpose of the study is to evaluate an exercise program for individuals preparing for Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy for hematological malignancies.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disease of the BM characterized by clonal expansion of plasma cells. Current guidelines recommend that newly diagnosed transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma (NDMMTE) shall undergo several cycles of induction, followed by one or two cycles high-dose melphalan followed by autologous stem cell transfusion (ASCT). Currently, induction therapy schemes usually consist of an immunomodulator (thalidomide or lenalidomide), a transmembrane glycoprotein CD38 targeting antibody, a proteasome inhibitor, and dexamethasone. The induction therapy is then followed by stem cell mobilization and ...
The aim of this study is to assess the Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) efficacy in the prevention of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) complications and particularly Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD). The hypothesis of this study is that allogeneic FMT may improve outcomes of these patients.
Blood and lymph node cancers can begin in either the lymphatic tissues (as in the case of lymphoma) or in the bone marrow (as with leukemia and myeloma), and they all are involved with the uncontrolled growth of white blood cells. There are many subtypes of these cancers, e.g., chronic lymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Since there is evidence that these cancers cluster in families, this study aims to understand how genetics and environmental exposures contribute to the development of these cancers.
Hybrid positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has now become available to detect tumors in patients with multiple myeloma. The radioactive glucose 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is the most widely used tracer but findings suggest that PET/CT reveal more lesions when using FCH. In this study, FDG is compared with a more recent metabolic tracer, 18F-fluorocholine (FCH), for the detection of multiple myeloma lesions at time of initial extension assessment. The principal objective of this sudy is to compare the number of suspected hypermetabolic foci of myeloma detected by 18F-fluorocholine PET and by...
The study is designed to examine the feasibility and safety of collecting autologous hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to be combined with CAR T-cell therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) hematological disease. The study will evaluate feasibility of collecting the target dose of HSCs from at least 50% of enrolled patients. The study will assess safety based on incidence and severity of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) in the first 60 days post CAR T dosing, and also through the collection of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) as well as...
Therapeutic intensification followed by an autograft of hematopoietic stem cells is a standard of care for young patients with myeloma from the first line and for lymphoma from the second or third line of treatment. This procedure remains toxic in the short and medium term with significant mortality and morbidity: the average mortality varies from 1.4 to 5%. The causes of death are linked to a severe infection, visceral bleeding or vital organ failure. This risk of mortality is partly correlated with sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is defined by the reduction of muscle mass and strength. It was first described in the elderly and classified...
This is a hypothesis-driven, observational, cross-sectional, multi-site study of the financial difficulties experienced by patients undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma (MM) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It is composed of a patient survey (n=250) (Appendix A), a physician survey (n=100) (Appendix B), and a practice survey completed by each site enrolling patients onto this study (Appendix C). A subset of enrolled patients (n=35) will be invited to participate in an optional second telephone interview (Appendix D). This study will measure the prevalence of patient-reported financial difficulty, specific financial ...
