The primary goal of this study is to determine the impact of standard of care therapies for TCR MM, in a real-world setting, on patient-reported symptoms, functioning, and QoL, measured prospectively using questionnaires. The secondary goal is to asses clinical endopoints associated with standard of care therapies for TCR MM, in a real-world setting during 12 months of observation. 

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between baseline sarcopenia and high-grade chemotherapy toxicity during the first 4 cycles of treatment measured by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0, the Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) version of the CTCAE(PRO-CTCAE), and treatment discontinuation in older patients (≥60 years) with hematologic malignancies.

The hypothesis is that for older patients with hematologic malignanclies, sarcopenia is associated with higher likelihood of high-grade treatment-related chemotherapy toxicity and a higher rate of treatment discontinuation during the first 4 cycles of treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between a baseline comprehensive geriatric assessment (cGA) and chemotherapy toxicity in the first 4 months of treatment measured by treatment-related adverse events, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and treatment discontinuation in older patients (≥ 65 years) with multiple myeloma (MM).

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer that affects a type of white cell called plasma cell. It mainly affects older individuals and has an average age at diagnosis of 69 years. 

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics, preliminary anticancer activity, and RP2R(s) of the study treatment in adult participants ≥ 18 years of age with multiple myeloma that is relapsed or refractory to established therapies or who are intolerant of established therapies. The study will be conducted in 3 parts.

The purpose of this study is to test GC012F, a CD19/BCMA dual CART-cell therapy, in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory Multiple Myeloma.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and tolerability, describe the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD [in the absence of establishing the MTD]) for single agent MEDI2228 in adult subjects with multiple myeloma who are either transplant ineligible or post autologous stem cell transplant and are relapsed/refractory.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MT-0169 and establish the MTD (maximum tolerated dose)/ RP2D (recommended phase 2 dose). Maximum tolerated dose means the highest dose of a study drug that can be given with acceptable side effects. Recommended phase 2 dose means that dose is judged to be the most optimal for future study in patients with your disease. The study will also examine how the body handles MT-0169. This will be done by looking at the pharmacokinetics of MT-0169after a single dose and after repeat doses in people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.  Pharmacokinetics (or PK) is the study of how your body absorbs, breaks down, and removes a drug.

It is planned that 39-60 patients with your disease condition (RR multiple myeloma) will take part in Part I, and approximately 54 patients will take part in Part 2 of this study. The study is being carried out at approximately 6-9 study clinics across North America and Europe.

The purpose of this phase 3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter study is to compare Oral Ixazomib (MLN9708) plus Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone versus Placebo plus Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in adult patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma.

This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IXAZOMIB versus placebo when added to lenalidomide and dexamethasone (LenDex) in patients with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) who are not eligible for stem cell transplant.

The purpose of this Phase 1 first-in human study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of CC-98633 in adult subjects with relapsed and/or refractory MM. A challenge in CAR T-cell development is to generate a product that consistently expands, persists, and mediates durable antitumor responses after infusion. Multiple preclinical and translational studies have suggested that the differentiation state of adoptively transferred T cells can influence the ability of these cells to persist and promote durable antitumor immunity. Less differentiated T cells have shown an increased ability to proliferate, persist, and mediate responses in mouse tumor models compared to more differentiated effector memory cell subsets in certain studies.

Here we propose an "integrative sequencing approach" utilizing a 1500 gene exome comparative analysis between multiple myeloma or related plasma cell malignancies and normal cells coupled to capture transcriptome sequencing to provide a nearly comprehensive landscape of the genetic alterations for the purpose of identifying informative and/or actionable mutations in patients with multiple myeloma and plasma cell malignancies. The approach will enable the detection of point mutations, insertions/deletions, gene fusions and rearrangements, amplifications/deletions, and outlier expressed genes among other classes of alterations.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and toxicity profiles of ABBV-453 in subjects with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (R/R MM).  Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell disease characterized by the growth of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. 

Aim 1: To identify the specific cytogenetic subtypes associated with familial predisposition in MGUS.  Aim 2: To identify the proportion of patients with high risk MGUS among patients with familial MGUS

The purpose of this study is to evaluate quality of life over time in patients with multiple myeloma or lymphoma enrolled in clinical trials compared with patients on standard therapy.

The phase 1 primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety profile, characterize pharmacokinetics (PK) and determine the dosing schedule, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended phase 2 dose (RPTD) of ABT-199 (venetoclax) when administered in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. This study will also assess the safety profile and PK of venetoclax in combination with dexamethasone in subjects with t(11;14)-positive multiple myeloma. The phase 2 primary objective is to further evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) and very good partial response or better rate (VGPR+) in subjects with t(11;14)-positive multiple myeloma and to evaluate patient reported outcomes.

This phase II trial studies how well pomalidomide, ixazomib citrate, and dexamethasone work in treating patients with previously treated multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia. Biological therapies, such as pomalidomide, and dexamethasone, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pomalidomide, ixazomib citrate, and dexamethasone together may be more effective in treating multiple myeloma.

Does idasanutlin in combination with ixazomib and dexamethasone contribute to better outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma who have been previously treated for their disease?

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax when given together with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone and to see how well they work in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back. Venetoclax and ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving venetoclax together with ixazomib citrate and dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma.

The purpose of the phase 1 portion of this research study is to find out more about the side effects of belantamab and what doses of belantamab are safe for people when combined with lenalidomide and daratumumab, and to find the right dose for the phase 2 portion of the trial. 

This trial is exploring the use of a new drug called belantamab to be used in combination with daratumumab and lenalidomide and not using the same doses of dexamethasone as has been done with previous combinations. Belantamab is an anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) antibody-drug conjugate. This will be given along with 2 with two other drugs, lenalidomide and daratumumab.  Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug (altering the immune effects on the tumor cell). Daratumumab is a drug that is a monoclonal antibody that is directed towards a protein on the myeloma cell. The proposed  belantamab-mafodotin combinations are novel therapies with unknown additional benefits over individual drugs and may pose additional risks.

This is a non-randomized, open-label study evaluating the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) used in combination with dinaciclib (MK-7965) in the treatment of relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (rrCLL), multiple myeloma (rrMM), or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (rrDLBCL) in up to 138 participants from multiple sites. During an initial Dose Evaluation phase (first 2 cycles) to determine Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs), dose combinations of pembrolizumab 200 mg followed by dinaciclib 7 mg/m^2, pembrolizumab 200 mg followed by dinaciclib 10 mg/m^2, and pembrolizumab 200 mg followed by dinaciclib 14 mg/m^2 will be evaluated. Following safety review of the Dose Evaluation Phase, approximately 30 participants each will be enrolled in rrCLL, rrMM, or DLBCL cohorts during the Signal Detection phase. For each disease type objective response rate (ORR) will be determined by disease specific criteria.

The purpose of this study is to treat patients with drugs targeted to affect specific genes that are mutated as part of the disease. Mutations in genes can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer. Patients with a greater than 30% mutation to any of the following genes; CDKN2C, FGFR3, KRAS, NRAS, BRAF V600E, IDH2 or T(11;14) can be enrolled to one of the treatment arms. These arms have treatments specifically directed to the mutated genes. Patients that do not have a greater than 30% mutation to the genes listed can be enrolled to a non-actionable treatment arm. The genetic sequencing of the patient's tumor is required via enrollment to the MMRF002 study: Clinical-grade Molecular Profiling of Patients with Multiple Myeloma and Related Plasma Cell Malignancies. (NCT02884102).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells targeting BCMA in patients with myeloma.

Dinaciclib and bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving dinaciclib and bortezomib together with dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells.

The purpose of this study is to determine how well ixazomib citrate works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) but is not resistant to bortezomib (refractory). Ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase II trial studies how well ixazomib citrate, lenalidomide, dexamethasone, and daratumumab work in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Ixazomib citrate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as daratumumab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving ixazomib citrate, lenalidomide, dexamethasone, and daratumumab may work better in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone work in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma that are eligible for stem cell transplant. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma.

This randomized phase III trial studies bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone to see how well it works compared to carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Bortezomib and carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib or carfilzomib together with lenalidomide and dexamethasone may kill more cancer cells

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, clinical pharmacology and clinical activity of TNB-383B, a T-cell engaging bispecific antibody, in subjects with relapsed or refractory MM who have received at least 3 prior lines of therapy. The study consists of 2 portions, a monotherapy dose escalation (Arm A) and a monotherapy dose expansion (Arm B). Arm A will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and PD profiles of escalating doses of single-agent TNB-383B ranging from 25 micrograms to 40 milligrams per dose, administered once every 3 weeks (Q3W), in approximately 24 subjects. Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose, (RP2D) is identified in Arm A, Arm B will be initiated to further characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles of the MTD/RP2D dose of TNB 383B monotherapy in approximately 48 subjects.
