In the currently proposed phase I/II study, the investigators aim to treat patients with relapsed and/or relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (MM) who have progressed on carfilzomib-based therapy with an FDA approved c-MET inhibitor, cabozantinib. Our hypothesis is that the additional rescue
Disease background:
MM is a plasma cell tumor. It accounted for an estimated 20,180 new cases of cancer and 11,170 deaths in the United States in 2010. With a prevalence of 23 per 100,000 people, MM is an orphan disease (prevalence <5:10,000). The median age at diagnosis is 60-65 years. Although MM
Increasingly, upregulation of antiapoptotic proteins have been implicated in the pathogenesis and in the development of chemotherapy resistance in multiple myeloma. Therapeutic interventions that target the apoptotic pathway in myeloma are attractive targets to treat resistant disease. Dexamethasone
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is an incurable haematological neoplasm that is characterized by homing, survival, and proliferation of malignant, antibody producing plasma cells in the bone marrow. All clinically relevant symptoms (cytopenia, hyperproteinemia and proteinuria with renal insufficiency,
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of PS-341 in patients with hematologic malignancies. II. Determine the pharmacodynamics of this drug in these patients. III. Determine response to this drug in these patients. IV. Determine the correlation between
