Loratadine to reduce bone pain during stem cell collection
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This early trial studies whether loratadine (an allergy medicine) can reduce bone pain caused by G-CSF, which is used to help your body collect stem cells. If you have multiple myeloma and are preparing for stem cell mobilization, this may make treatment-related bone pain more tolerable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether low-dose radiation can reduce pain from a specific bone lesion caused by multiple myeloma. It may help people whose main problem is painful bone metastasis, with targeted treatment to the painful spot.
This study compares different combinations of medicines for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who cannot safely get a stem cell transplant. It aims to find which drug plan works best and is tolerable for people with “frail” or “intermediate fit” health.
This study tests if adding Mozobil (a drug that helps release stem cells) before stem cell transplant can improve outcomes for people with multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. If you are eligible, you will receive Mozobil along with standard stem cell mobilization medicines.
This trial tests loratadine (an allergy medicine) to see if it can prevent bone pain caused by a growth-factor injection used during lymphoma or multiple myeloma treatment. It may help reduce pain around the time you get that injection and your upcoming stem cell transplant.
This study tests whether taking a combination of two natural compounds (diosmin and hesperidin) similar to those from citrus fruits, or the allergy medicine loratadine, can prevent or reduce bone pain caused by G-CSF injections—a common treatment to boost white blood cells in people with blood cancers.
This trial tests two different steroid medicines (methylprednisolone and dexamethasone) to see which works better at preventing side effects from motixafortide, a drug used to help collect stem cells for a stem cell transplant in people with multiple myeloma.
