This phase I trial tests the safety of [89Zr]DFO-YS5 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and how well it works to detect CD46 positive cancer cells in patients with multiple myeloma. [89Zr]DFO-YS5 is an imaging agent called a radiopharmaceutical tracer. A radiopharmaceutical tracer uses a small amount of radioactive material that is injected into a vein to help image different areas of the body. [89Zr]DFO-YS5 targets a specialized protein called CD46, which is in certain multiple myeloma cancer cells, and [89Zr]DFO-YS5 PET scans may improve detection of multiple myeloma.
The investigators will examine whether a combination of at-home nucleic acid amplification tests, on-demand telemedicine, and delivery of prescriptions such as Paxlovid quickly after testing positive for COVID-19, can reduce severe outcomes and hospitalization of immunocompromised patients and those who are 65 years and older. They will also analyze whether these efforts lower the cost of care compared to standard of care.
The purpose of this study is to test the anti-cancer activity of Teclistamab and to compare it with Lenalidomide + Dexamethasone combination in people with high risk smoldering multiple myeloma. People with smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) usually do not have symptoms but are at risk for progressing to active multiple myeloma (MM). Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells, which are an important part of the immune system. Patients with active multiple myeloma generally require treatment but there are currently no approved therapies for smoldering multiple myeloma. The names of the study drugs involved in this...
The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the impact of All4Cure enrollment on patients with multiple myeloma. The main question it aims to answer are: • Does All4Cure effect patient activation as assessed by the PAM-13 survey? Participants will be asked to: - fill out quarterly PAM-13 surveys through the All4Cure website to assess patient activation. - fill out monthly Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) surveys through the All4Cure website. - fill out a baseline and exit All4Cure surveys through the All4Cure website to assess patient perceptions of All4Cure at the beginning and the end of the...
Proposition of a sensory rehabilitation program that could reduce the olfactory-gustatory alterations in patients who have been treated with chemotherapy for Haematological Cancer, and also improve their life quality, psychological well-being, and nutrition.
A randomized placebo controlled, phase 2 study of budesonide in subjects with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous stem cell transplant (ACST). The study includes a run-in period with 20 patients.
The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence of functional decline in elderly patients treated with chemotherapy or immunochemotherapy for lymphoid hematologic malignancies. For this purpose, each patient benefits at inclusion (D0) of a standardized gerontological evaluation, and 3 and 6 months post-inclusion.
Multiple myeloma is the second most frequent hematologic malignancy, which incidence augmented between 1995 and 2018, with an annual mean variation of +0.6% to 1.1%. Although treatment improved in the last years, the patients' prognostic is associated with cytogenetic abnormalities. Oncological supportive care provides patients with a global perspective, in addition to specific medical treatment adapted to pathology and patient profile. It contributes to the improvement of quality of life of patients, throughout their care pathway regarding physical, psychological and social aspects, according to their specific needs as well as...
The study aims to compare the overall survival adjusted to quality of life of 2 groups of patients with multiple myeloma, depending on the type of care: (1) day hospitalization exclusively or (2) day hospitalization combined with hospital-at-home. As secondary objectives, the study aims to compare the impacts of the two types of care organization on: - the survival of patients and response to treatments according to criteria of the International Myeloma Working Group, - psychological status of patients, - specific toxicity related to treatment used (haematological and infectious toxicity, ...
Cancer and treatment-related cognitive changes hinder resumption of normal routine and roles and worsen quality of life. Older adults undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are at high-risk for cognitive impairment. Physical activity improves cognitive function in older adults and survivors of other cancers. We hypothesize that increasing physical activity can also improve cognitive function in this vulnerable population. The objective of this research is to adapt and test an evidence-based physical activity intervention, The Community Health Activities Model Program for Seniors II (CHAMPS II), in the HCT setting for adults...
