Early comfort care for multiple myeloma and aggressive lymphoma
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study offers a palliative care team (doctors and nurses focused on comfort and quality of life) to people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma or with an aggressive lymphoma that has come back. The goal is to help manage symptoms early, so you feel better and stay stronger during your cancer treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have either newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, or myeloma that needs a new treatment line, or aggressive lymphoma that has come back after one prior treatment

This trial studies whether adding palliative care (comfort-focused care to reduce stress and symptoms) helps people during adoptive cell therapy for blood cancers. It may help improve quality of life while you’re receiving the therapy.
This study tests whether starting palliative and supportive care early (alongside cancer treatment) can improve comfort and support for people having stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy. It may also help family caregivers by offering support during a difficult treatment period.
This study looks at how patients with multiple myeloma are doing over time and what factors might affect their health. The goal is to learn more about the disease and improve care.
This trial enrolls people with multiple myeloma who are starting (or have recently started) standard drug treatment, so researchers can collect real-world information about patients’ experiences and outcomes. It may help by improving future care planning and study designs, while adding an extra set of questionnaires to your routine.
This study tests whether extra geriatric support before and after CAR-T cell therapy helps people 60 and older recover faster. It is for patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or multiple myeloma who are scheduled for an FDA-approved CAR-T treatment.
