Multiple myeloma (MM) is a haematological malignancy characterized by the accumulation of proliferating antibody producing plasma cells in the bone marrow. In the last few years many studies have emphasized the biological complexity and heterogeneity of MM as a result of both genetic and epigenetic aberrations. Che-1/AATF (Che-1) is a transcriptional cofactor involved in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, DNA damage and stress response. it can be hypothesized that Che-1 might contribute to the establishment of the MM malignant phenotype by sustaining global transcription through its ability to modulate chromatin accessibility. The...
The purpose of this study is to determine the uptake of the imaging agent [68Ga]-pentixafor with PET/CT scans in people with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), or you have histiocytic neoplasms (Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) and/or Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD).

Aging is the greatest risk factor for cancer incidence and mortality. Geriatric screening is recommended to help with treatment discussions, inform intensity of treatment, and identify supportive care needs. Despite a strong evidence base, geriatric assessments are not implemented routinely in oncologic clinics. Similarly, important information on social determinants of health, mental health, and health behaviors are inconsistently assessed, and almost never in an integrated fashion. In an effort to support clinicians delivering the recommended goal-concordant care, the investigators will integrate assessment of geriatric issues,...
The iCaRe2 is a multi-institutional resource created and maintained by the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to collect and manage standardized, multi-dimensional, longitudinal data and biospecimens on consented adult cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and normal controls. The distinct characteristic of the iCaRe2 is its geographical coverage, with a significant percentage of small and rural hospitals and cancer centers. The iCaRe2 advances comprehensive studies of risk factors of cancer development and progression and enables the design of novel strategies for prevention, screening, early detection and personalized treatment...
- This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 2 treatment extension study in patients with multiple myeloma who are still benefitting from isatuximab based therapy following completion of a Phase 1, 2, or 3 parental study. - This Treatment Extension study has the purpose to provide continued access to isatuximab. Adult participants with multiple myeloma who have enrolled on an isatuximab parental study for which study objectives are completed will be eligible to be enrolled in this Treatment Extension study. - The primary objective of the study is to assess long-term safety of isatuximab as study ...
The purpose of this research is to understand whether the drug metformin could be used in the future to help prevent patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) from developing multiple myeloma. The names of the study drug involved in this study is: - Metformin, extended release - Placebo ( a pill that has no active ingredients)
This research study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the combination of isatuximab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone (Isa-Pd) for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), which refers to multiple myeloma that has returned or has not responded to prior treatment. The study will specifically investigate the impact of administering lower-than-standard doses of pomalidomide and dexamethasone. Using lower doses of pomalidomide and dexamethasone in this setting has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This research study is investigating the safety and effectiveness of using combination of isatuximab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). The study team will use lower doses than is currently standard for these drugs. Lower doses will be used to avoid or possibly reduce any unwanted side effects commonly associated with these drugs. Using lower doses of the combination isatuximab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone, has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of newly diagnosed MM.
This study aims to evaluate the stringent Complete Response (sCR) rate by the end of two cycles of induction treatment, defined as the proportion of patients who have achieved sCR, according to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria, by the end of two cycles of induction treatment.
