Feasibility of a Multi-omics Platform for Hematological Malignancies

This is a biological study based on a collaborative effort involving several Italian haematology centres (including the coordinating centre). The study will be conducted retrospectively and prospectively using bone marrow (BM) or peripheral blood (PB) samples, lymph node or tissue biopsies with metastatic involvement, and other biological fluids, such as cerebrospinal fluid and pathological pleural effusion.

A Study of an MMSET Inhibitor in Patients With Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma

A Phase I study to evaluate the safety of a novel, orally available, selective, and potent small molecule inhibitor of the histone lysine methyl transferase MMSET (also known as NSD2/WHSC1) to prevent the dimethylation of H3K36 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

Anonymization of Clinical Data From Pseudonymized Databases Collected as Part of Previus Clinical Trials on Multiple Myeloma

This is a retrospective, observational, single-center study conducted at the Hematology Unit of the IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna. The study aims to integrate genomic, clinical, and imaging data-all previously collected and pseudonymized-from earlier spontaneous studies carried out by the Hematology Unit. The main goal is to explore how genetic, clinical, and imaging features relate to disease outcomes and to develop predictive models using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). These models may help forecast disease progression and treatment response in the future. By combining different types of data, the research team hopes to develop new methods to predict disease progression and treatment outcomes. No new procedures, tests, or patient visits are required for this study. All the information analyzed will come from existing data collected as part of past clinical practice or previous research projects. Once anonymized, it will no longer be possible to identify individual patients. The anonymized dataset will be securely developed and stored by the bioinformatics team at the Hematology Unit of IRCCS AOUBO.

A Multicentre, Non-Blinded Study Exploring Self-Administration of Chemotherapy in the Home Environment

This study is to see if the standard of care subcutaneous injection of bortezomib can safely be administered at home by the patient or caregiver. All tests and assessments are based on standard of care procedures.

e-Motion : Promoting Emotion Regulation in Chronic Cancer

The present study aimed to pilot evaluate two interventions: a Guided Self-Help Intervention alone, and a combined Group and Guided Self-Help Intervention, designed to support individuals living with chronic cancer and recently diagnosed. The primary aim of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability and tolerability of the interventions. The secondary aim of the pilot study is to assess the interventions preliminary efficacy and differences on psychological symptoms.

Limited-duration Teclistamab

This is a single-arm, non-inferiority study in which patients who have achieved a very good partial response (VGPR) or better, according to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria, following 6 to 9 months of treatment with teclistamab, a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed T-cell engager (anti-BCMAxCD3 bispecific antibody), will be offered monitored drug discontinuation. Teclistamab is typically dosed on a regular schedule (every 1-4 weeks) indefinitely until disease progression ("continuous therapy"). Here, a limited-duration regimen will be studied in which patients achieving ≥VGPR after 6-9 months of standard teclistamab dosing will discontinue therapy and resume if laboratory or clinical parameters suggest early disease progression ("limited-duration therapy"). Patients will enter the clinical trial protocol after completing 6-9 months of standard teclistamab monotherapy and achieving ≥VGPR. The study's hypothesis is that the failure probability six months after stopping teclistamab in this patient population will be non-inferior compared to that of historical controls treated with continuous therapy. Reducing drug exposure may be beneficial by reducing risk of infection and reducing anti-BCMA selective pressure toward generation of BCMA-negative relapses. Analysis of minimal residual disease (MRD), tumor features, and bone marrow microenvironment parameters, which will be pursued as exploratory correlative analyses in this study, may identify factors that predict durable response to limited-duration therapy and thereby enable more precise selection of patients likely to benefit from this approach. A subset of patients will be enrolled on a biomarker study for analysis of these exploratory endpoints.

Evaluation of the Role of Connected Scales in the Therapeutic Care of Hematology Patients

In this research, we will evaluate the feasibility of following by remote monitoring, using a connected scale, in hematology patients suffering from myeloma or lymphoma and requiring treatment with chemotherapy. 30 patients will be included in the research and will all use a connected scale for the duration of their participation (7 weeks +/- 1 week). During their participation, patients will be asked to weigh themselves once a day, ideally at a set time. Patient data will be accessible by the medical team via a remote monitoring platform. Alerts will be generated in the event of abnormal development of certain clinical parameters (weight, heart rate, etc.) allowing early treatment to be implemented by the medical team. At the end of their participation, we will evaluate patients' support and perception of this tool, as well as the healthcare consequences of the alerts generated by the remote monitoring platform.

Testing the Investigational Agent Combination of Daratumumab, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone Compared to the Usual Treatment of Cyclophosphamide, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients With Kidney Failure

This study is being done to answer the following question: Can the addition of daratumumab-hyaluronidase to the usual treatment of bortezomib and dexamethasone improve kidney function in patients who are newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma and have kidney failure? This study is being done because the investigators want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for the participant's newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for multiple myeloma. If the participant decides to take part in this study, they will either get the study medications daratumumab-hyaluronidase, bortezomib, and dexamethasone for four months (4 cycles), or the typical medications used to treat your cancer (cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone) for 4 months (4 cycles). After the participant finishes their study treatment, their doctor will continue to follow their condition for 10 years to watch them for side effects and monitor their disease status. Their doctor will follow up with them every 3 months for years 1 and 2 and then every 6 months for years 3 through 10.

Determine the Frequency of Variants in the GBA/PSAP Genes in Patients With MM or MGUS

No effective specific treatment is currently available for the management of Multiple Myeloma (MM) and Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS). A better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms would make it possible to propose treatments specifically targeting the deregulated pathways.

The Norwegian Immunotherapy in Multiple Myeloma Study

The goal of this observational study is to study the effectiveness and complications of novel immunotherapies used in the treatment of multiple myeloma in routine care in Norway. The aim is to close knowledge gaps, generate evidence for future clinical trials and contribute to future consensus on how to monitor for adverse events, and what mitigation strategies should be implemented, so that we can increase patient survival and quality-of-life.

Bioequivalence Studies of Dasatinib 100 Mg

A bioequivalence study of Dasatinib will be carried out in 46 healthy subjects, in fed condition, following the complete replicated design, randomized, comparative of 2 sequences, 2 study formulations, in a single dose of 100 mg of Dasatinib tablets / coated tablets, 4 periods. , with a washout time of 7 days between each dose

Study of Selinexor Plus DRd for Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

This is a single-arm, phase II, open-label trial to investigate the effects of selinexor (S) in combination with daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (DRd) for first-line treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). FDA has approved selinexor plus dexamethasone in multiple myeloma after four prior therapies, and DRd is also already approved by the FDA for multiple myeloma. This study will use all four (S-DRd) together to treat MM as an initial treatment.

Bortezomib-bendamustine-melphalan vs Melphalan for Multiple Myeloma

This project will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the conditioning regimen bortezomib-bendamustine-melphalan (BBM) in combination with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in relapsed multiple myeloma given from 2011 to 2018 at Uppsala University Hospital. This approach will be retrospectively compared to high dose melphalan (HDM) in the same setting in the years prior to, and following the BBM-period. Data on efficacy and safety data will be collected through systematic analysis of electronic medical records and from the Swedish Cancer Registry.

Multicenter Phase 2 Study of Subcutaneous Isatuximab Plus Bortezomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Transplant Ineligible Multiple Myeloma

Isatuximab was developed on a sub-cutaneous (SC) administration format. SC administration is expected to be more convenient for the patient, with a much shorter duration of administration compared to the currently approved IV route. The SC Isatuximab RP2D fixed dose was determined at 1400 mg in a phase1b assessing SC Isatuximab in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in RRMM patients. A similar activity and a favorable safety administration profile compared to the IV formulation, was shown in this trial, as expected (Moreau et al, ASH 2021; Quach et al, ASCO 2022). This data should be confirmed in the ongoing IRAKLIA/EFC15951 phase 3 study, that compared in the RRMM, isatuximab plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone IV versus SC. Whether isatuximab SC, fixed 1400 mg dose, will show similar efficacy and safety profile as to anti-CD38Rd+V remains to be demonstrated. The investigators have planned to study the combination of SC isatuximab plus VRd (IsVRd) in patients with NDMM NTE in a phase 2 study across IFM (Intergroupe Francophone du Myeloma) centers in France to compare indirectly this data to the data obtained from studies that have studied this association in that population with the IV isatuximab formulation.

Evaluation of a Range of Dermo-cosmetic Products to Treat Skin and Nail Toxicity Linked to Bispecific Anti-GPRC5D Bispecific Antibodies in Multiple Myeloma Patients". Myeloma". Descriptive Pilot Study

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of range of dermo-cosmetic products (hand/feet serum, nail strengthening solution nail strengthening solution, dissolving oil and gloves/slippers) based on natural products and designed for cancer patients)on bispecific Ac-induced skin and nail toxicity in MM patients treated with anti-CD3xGPRC5D bispecific antibodies. The effects of supportive care products will be studied as a preventive measure in patients starting treatment with bispecific Ac and as a curative measure in patients undergoing treatment. Patients will be able to apply the products directly at home according to the study schedule, and a skin and nail toxicity skin and nail toxicity will be performed each time the patient comes for administration of bispecific Ac. Follow-up will be for a total of 6 months (or less if progression occurs earlier), and patients will be asked to complete a quality-of-life questionnaire at protocol inclusion and after 1 month and 6 months of supportive care.
