IMROZ Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug combination to see if it can prolong progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are not eligible for transplant.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who can't have a transplant because they're over 65 or under 65 with other health issues. They must have measurable disease signs and agree to use contraception if necessary. It's not for those under 18, previously treated for myeloma, or with certain health conditions that could interfere.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether adding Isatuximab (SAR650984) to the combo of Bortezomib, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone improves survival without cancer progression in new multiple myeloma patients ineligible for transplant compared to just the three-drug combo.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the infusion site, increased risk of infections due to low blood cell counts, nerve damage causing pain or numbness (neuropathy), blood clots, diarrhea, fatigue, and potential allergic reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

If a person is below the age of 55, would they still be eligible for this kind of research?

"The age limit for this clinical trial is 80 years old, provided that the candidate is also above 18 years old."

Answered by AI

Could you please tell me how many different hospitals are a part of this research?

"Presently, this trial is recruiting from 11 sites. The locations are situated in Kansas City, Nashville and Houston as well as other locations. If you are hoping to participate, it would be advantageous to select the clinic nearest to your location to avoid travel difficulties."

Answered by AI

How may I become a part of this clinical trial?

"This study is looking for 475 individuals that have multiple myeloma and are aged between 18-80. The most important criterion that participants must meet is having multiple myeloma (as specified by the IMWG). Other notable requirements include being newly diagnosed, not being eligible for transplant, having evidence of measurable disease, and providing written informed consent."

Answered by AI

Could you please list other cases where Diphenhydramine has been used in medical trials?

"Diphenhydramine was first investigated in 2002 by the Manitoba Blood & Marrow Transplant Program CancerCare Manitoba. Today, a total of 2392 studies have been completed. 880 more are currently underway, with a large portion of these taking place in Kansas City, Missouri."

Answered by AI

What is the maximum recruitment goal for this research project?

"This clinical trial is no longer enrolling patients. The study was posted on December 7th, 2017 and was last edited on November 3rd, 2022. If you are looking for other studies, 837 trials for multiple myeloma and 880 trials for Diphenhydramine or equivalent are currently enrolling patients."

Answered by AI

For what reasons are people typically prescribed Diphenhydramine?

"The active ingredient diphenhydramine is most often used to treat macular edema. However, it has also been shown to ameliorate ulcerative colitis, eye conditions, and varicella-zoster virus acute retinal necrosis."
