MYELOMA

This study is for people with a high-risk form of smoldering multiple myeloma, an early stage of blood cancer. The purpose is to test a drug called belantamab mafodotin to find the safest dose and see if it can control the disease. About 30 participants will receive the drug, and…

This early-stage trial tests an experimental oral drug called KTX-1001 in people with multiple myeloma that has returned or not responded to prior treatments. The drug works by blocking a protein that helps myeloma cells grow. The study will enroll 165 adults and will also test K…

This trial tests a new approach for people with multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to treatment. Doctors take immune cells from donated cord blood, genetically engineer them to better recognize and attack myeloma cells, and give them back to the patient along wi…

This study tests whether adding two drugs (elotuzumab and iberdomide) plus a steroid after CAR T-cell therapy can help control multiple myeloma that has come back or not responded to treatment. About 49 adults who have already tried at least four other treatments will take part. …

This phase 2 trial tests whether the drug elranatamab, given as maintenance therapy after CAR-T cell treatment (cilta-cel), can delay cancer progression in people with high-risk relapsed myeloma. The study enrolls 39 patients whose myeloma has features like high-risk mutations or…

This study compares immunoglobulin (given through a vein or under the skin) with antibiotics to see which better prevents severe infections in people with blood cancers like myeloma, lymphoma, or leukemia who have low antibody levels. About 900 adults will take part. The goal is …

This study compares two infection-prevention strategies in 900 people with blood cancers like myeloma and leukemia. One group gets an antibiotic (co-trimoxazole) daily, while another receives immunoglobulin infusions every few weeks. The goal is to see which approach better preve…

This study compares different ways to prevent infections in people with blood cancers like myeloma, leukemia, and lymphoma. About 900 participants will receive either daily antibiotics or immunoglobulin therapy, or a combination. The goal is to see which approach works best to ke…

This study looks at different ways to prevent serious infections in people with blood cancers like myeloma, lymphoma, and leukemia. About 900 participants will receive either antibiotics or immunoglobulin therapy to see which approach works best. The goal is to find safer and mor…

This study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in 150 adults with blood cancers who receive a stem cell transplant. Patients get a single FMT enema within four weeks of transplant. The main goal is to see if FMT improves …

This pilot study is testing whether music therapy delivered over video calls is a practical way to help blood cancer survivors who have trouble with memory, attention, and thinking. Researchers will enroll 60 adults who have had lymphoma, leukemia, or myeloma. Participants will e…

This study tests a program called ASCENT that helps cancer survivors manage pain using an educational guide and coaching from community health workers and pain care managers. The goal is to improve pain control and lower the risk of opioid misuse. About 660 adults with cancer-rel…

This study tests a home-based telerehabilitation program for adults with lymphoma or myeloma who have received CAR-T cell therapy. Participants use a tablet or VR headset, along with a pulse oximeter and Fitbit, to follow personalized exercise and nutrition plans. The goal is to …

This study tests whether people with multiple myeloma can safely give themselves a standard chemotherapy drug (bortezomib) at home, instead of going to a clinic. About 100 stable patients who have already had at least four injections in a hospital will be taught to self-inject. T…

This study tests a new program that gives blood cancer patients access to blood transfusions at home while they receive hospice care. The goal is to see if this improves their quality of life, mood, and reduces hospital visits near the end of life. The trial will include 700 adul…

This study is testing how to safely perform skin allergy tests in people receiving biotherapies for cancers and blood disorders. Researchers will find the highest concentration of each biotherapy that does not cause a skin reaction in 9 out of 10 patients. The goal is to establis…

This study tests whether a special PET scan (18F FLT) can detect signs of leukemia or myeloma after treatment. About 60 people aged 4 to 80 with relapsed or hard-to-treat blood cancers will get the scan before and after therapy. Researchers will compare the scan results with stan…

This study is for 80 adults with blood cancers like MDS or AML who are starting treatment. Participants wear a smartwatch and answer questionnaires to track their activity, symptoms, and quality of life. The goal is to help doctors better understand when patients need blood trans…

This study looks at how services from Blood Cancer United (formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) affect people with blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Researchers will track 400 patients over time to see if the organization helps with access to care, quality …

This study aims to create a large collection of blood samples from 2,500 people with or at high risk for cancer. Researchers will use these samples to study liquid biopsies, which are blood tests that may help detect cancer, track treatment response, and spot recurrence. Particip…
