Alternate Doses and Dosing Schedules of Belantamab Mafodotin for Treatment of Triple-Class Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase II trial tests alternate doses and dosing schedules of belantamab mafodotin in treating patients with triple-class multiple myeloma that has come back (after a period of improvement) (recurrent) and/or does not respond to treatment (or that has not responded to previous treatment) (refractory). Belantamab mafodotin is a monoclonal antibody, belantamab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, mafodotin. Belantamab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as BCMA receptors, and delivers mafodotin to kill them. This trial may help researchers determine if alternate doses and dosing schedules work better in preventing certain side effects, such as eye toxicity, and treating patients with recurrent or refractory multiple myeloma.

Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Patients With Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors, Lymphomas, or Multiple Myeloma (The MATCH Screening Trial)

This phase II MATCH screening and multi-sub-trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myelomas that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and does not respond to treatment (refractory). Patients must have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.

A Study to Learn How Patients With Triple Class Refractory Multiple Myeloma (TCR-MM) Are Treated in Italian Centers for Blood Related Diseases

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of cancer of the white blood cells, called plasma cells. These plasma cells help in fighting infections. TCR-MM is when the cancer does not get treated with the 3 main classes of medicines used to treat this disease. The purpose of this study is to learn about the present clinical practice in Italy and describe the standard of care that will be given to patients with TCR-MM, and their treatment costs, in around 25 centers who treat patients with blood diseases. Standard of care (SoC) is the treatment that is accepted as a proper treatment for a certain type of disease and that is widely used by doctors. The study is seeking for participants who are: * 18 years of age or older * Confirmed to have MM * do not show any response when treated with the 3 main classes of medicines used to treat MM Data of participants who received the TCR treatment between 01 December 2021 and 31 May will be collected. The main data source for the study will be the patient medical record. No clinical visits, examinations, or procedures are required as part of this study.

A Study of MCARH109 and MCARH125 in People With Multiple Myeloma

A sample of participants' T cells will be sent to a laboratory, where the cells will be made into the study therapy, MCARH109 and MCARH125. Participants will receive either MCARH125 alone or MCARH125 with MCARH109.

Testing the Combination of Two Approved Drugs and One Experimental Drug in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of iberdomide in combination with belantamab mafodotin and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma (MM) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Multiple myeloma is a cancer that affects white blood cells called plasma cells, which are made in the bone marrow and are part of the immune system. Multiple myeloma cells have a protein on their surface called B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) that allows the cancer cells to survive and grow. Immunotherapy with iberdomide, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Belantamab mafodotin has been designed to attach to the BCMA protein, which may cause the myeloma cell to become damaged and die. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Iberdomide plus belantamab mafodotin may help slow or stop the growth of cancer in patients with multiple myeloma.

Lenalidomide in Treating Patients With Multiple Myeloma Undergoing Autologous Stem Cell Transplant

This randomized phase III trial studies lenalidomide to see how well it works compared to a placebo in treating patients with multiple myeloma who are undergoing autologous stem cell transplant. Giving chemotherapy before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill any cancer cells that are in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. More chemotherapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving lenalidomide after autologous stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma.

Donor Immune Cells (TGFbi NK Cells) and Isatuximab for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase I trial tests the side effects and best dose of TGFbi natural killer (NK) cells (TiNK) when given together with isatuximab for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to treatment (refractory). NK cells are a type of white blood cell that are known to spontaneously attack cancer cells. TiNK are NK cells made in a laboratory to have a higher response to tumor cells. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as isatuximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Patients also receive standard treatment (cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone) on this trial. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving TiNK and isatuximab with standard treatment may be a safe and effective treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Prehabilitation With Aerobic and Resistance Exercise for Improving Physical Fitness and Quality of Life Outcomes in Older Patients Undergoing CAR-T Therapy for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This clinical trial evaluates whether prehabilitation with aerobic and resistance exercise improves physical fitness and quality of life outcomes in older patients planning to undergo chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy for multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). CAR-T therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. Large numbers of the CAR-T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. While CAR-T therapy is commonly used to treat multiple myeloma, it can result in toxicities that lead to hospitalization, nerve and muscle impairment, and decreased physical function. Prehabilitation programs use targeted interventions to improve functional status prior to medical or surgical treatments. In this study, patients participate in personalized aerobic and resistance prehabilitation activities in the weeks leading up to their CAR-T infusion. This program may improve physical fitness and quality of life, both prior to and after CAR-T infusion, in older patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Testing Teclistamab (TECVAYLI) in Combination With Iberdomide for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of iberdomide in combination with teclistamab in treating multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Iberdomide is a medication that belongs to a group of drugs known as cereblon E3 ligase modulators. Iberdomide works by targeting and destroying proteins that help myeloma cancer cells to survive. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as teclistamab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving iberdomide in combination with teclistamab may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Testing the Investigational Medication Combination of Teclistamab and Pomalidomide Compared to the Usual Treatment (Carfilzomib, Pomalidomide, and Dexamethasone) for Patients With Multiple Myeloma Who Have Relapsed Shortly After Treatment

This phase Ib/II trial compares the effect of teclistamab and pomalidomide to standard treatment with carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed). Teclistamab is a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time. Teclistamab binds to B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), a protein found on some B-cells and myeloma cells, and CD3 on T-cells (a type of white blood cell) and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Pomalidomide is in a class of medications called immunomodulatory agents. It works by helping the immune system kill cancer cells and by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells. Carfilzomib blocks the action of enzymes called proteasomes, which may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. It is a type of proteasome inhibitor. Dexamethasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving teclistamab and pomalidomide may be safe, tolerable and improve response by lowering myeloma cells to undetectable levels when compared to standard treatment with carfilzomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone in treating patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.

Outpatient and Intermittent Dosing of Elranatamab in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

A phase II study of single agent elranatamab in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (MM) who have previously received at least three classes of therapeutic agents and are refractory to the last line of treatment. The primary objective of this study is to improve the tolerability and safety of elranatamab in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma by evaluating an outpatient and intermittent dosing strategy.

Testing Trametinib and Dabrafenib as a Potential Targeted Treatment in Cancers With BRAF Genetic Changes (MATCH-Subprotocol H)

This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of trametinib and dabrafenib in patients whose cancer has genetic changes called BRAF V600 mutations. Dabrafenib may stop the growth of cancer by blocking BRAF proteins which may be needed for cell growth. Trametinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking MEK proteins which, in addition to BRAF proteins, may also be needed for cell growth. Researchers hope to learn if giving trametinib with dabrafenib will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.

CRISPR Delivered Anti-BCMA Car-T Therapy for Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) delivered anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells (1XX BCMA CAR-T cells) in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Anti-BCMA CAR-T cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a person's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein, such as BCMA, on the patient's cancer cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory by a tool called clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9. The special receptor is called a CAR. Large numbers of the CAR-T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Giving chemotherapy before CAR-T cells may decrease the number of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cells) in the blood and may help the 1XX BCMA CAR-T cells fight the cancer cells. Treatment with 1XX BCMA CAR-T cells may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

Daratumumab, Carfilzomib, Pomalidomide, Dexamethasone In MM

This research study involves two study drugs and two standard of care drugs. * The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Carfilzomib * Daratumumab * The names of the standard of care drugs involved in this study are: * Dexamethasone * Pomalidomide

MMRC Horizon One: RRMM (MMRC-099)

This trial is an adaptive platform trial. The structure of the protocol allows the trial to evolve over time. Multiple investigational arms will be included within the trial under a Master Protocol (MP). These investigational arms may be added as appendices at different times depending on whether they are trial-ready and whether accrual in the trial will support another arm. Accrual to an arm will terminate in accord with the arm's appendix to the Master Protocol. The purpose of this proposed structure is to support the recurrent research challenge of efficiently evaluating what is the best therapy for a particular patient.

²¹¹At-OKT10-B10 and Fludarabine Alone or in Combination With Cyclophosphamide and Low-Dose TBI Before Donor Stem Cell Transplant for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed, Recurrent, or Refractory High-Risk Multiple Myeloma

This phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of ²¹¹At-OKT10-B10 when given together with fludarabine, alone or in combination with cyclophosphamide and low-dose total-body irradiation (TBI) before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with high-risk multiple myeloma that is newly diagnosed, has come back (recurrent), or does not respond to treatment (refractory). ²¹¹At-OKT10-B10 is a monoclonal antibody, called OKT10-B10, linked to a radioactive agent called ²¹¹At. OKT10-B10 attaches to CD38 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers ²¹¹At to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, 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. Radiation therapy such as TBI uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving ²¹¹At-OKT10-B10 together with chemotherapy and TBI before a donor stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into a patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and may help destroy any remaining cancer cells.
