This study tests if a plant-based diet can help people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are receiving a standard 4-cycle drug combination (DRVd). Researchers want to see if changing what you eat might improve treatment results.
This study tests a combination of three cancer drugs (belantamab mafodotin, bortezomib, and dexamethasone) in people with multiple myeloma who have had prior treatment and moderate liver function problems. The goal is to see if this combination works safely in patients whose cancer has come back or worsened.
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of medicines (iberdomide, bortezomib, dexamethasone, and adding isatuximab) for people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who cannot have a transplant. The goal is to improve disease control while checking safety in older adults who can take pills and attend frequent visits.
This trial tests if cannabidiol (CBD) can prevent nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin. If you have colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery and you are about to start oxaliplatin, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new drug, BMS-986453, for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma. It aims to see if the drug is safe and works well for those who cannot or choose not to have a stem cell transplant.
