Iberdomide to treat intermediate or high-risk smoldering myeloma
This Phase 2 study tests iberdomide alone or with low-dose dexamethasone in people with intermediate- or high-risk “smoldering” multiple myeloma. The goal is to see if the treatment can control or delay progression to active myeloma.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04508790RecruitingPhase 2
Leflunomide plus pomalidomide with dexamethasone for relapsed myeloma
This trial studies whether a combination of three medicines (leflunomide, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone) can better treat multiple myeloma that has come back or stopped responding. It may help people who are not good candidates for transplant and who have measurable disease.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04507412RecruitingPhase 4
IV steroid before shoulder surgery to reduce inflammation
This trial studies whether giving dexamethasone through a vein (an anti-inflammatory steroid) around the time of total shoulder replacement surgery improves outcomes. It may help lower inflammation and related discomfort, but you must meet specific health and medication safety criteria to join.
LuganoAges 58–85 - NCT04432012RecruitingPhase 4
Compare steroid shots versus other delivery after knee replacement
This study compares different ways of giving steroid medicine after a total knee replacement to see which approach works best and is well-tolerated. You may qualify if you’re getting a first (not repeat) knee implant and can follow the study steps.
