thalidomide and Pneumonia

thalidomide has been researched along with Pneumonia in 17 studies

Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects. It has been reintroduced and used for a number of immunological and inflammatory disorders. Thalidomide displays immunosuppressive and anti-angiogenic activity. It inhibits release of TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA from monocytes, and modulates other cytokine action.
thalidomide : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of R- and S-thalidomide.
2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione : A dicarboximide that is isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a 2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl group.

Pneumonia: Infection of the lung often accompanied by inflammation.

Trial Outcomes

The Number of Participants With Adverse Events

Establish the safety and tolerability of Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone in combination with MK-3475 (NCT02289222)
Timeframe: 24 month

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)
Pomalidomide, Dexamethasone & MK-347548

Time to Progression Free Survival (PFS)

PFS will be measured in all participants. Survival and PFS functions were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The Cox regression model was used to assess the following plausible risk factors for OS and PFS: age, isotype, number of cycles of therapy, and cytogenetic profile. (NCT02289222)
Timeframe: PFS assessments will take place after starting study therapy with MD-3475 and will continue until the start of a new anti-neoplastic therapy, disease progression, death, or the end of study up to an average of 24 months.

InterventionMonths (Median)
Pomalidomide, Dexamethasone & MK-347517.4

PD-LI Expression On Myeloma Cells

The identification of a biomarker for response by evaluating PD-1/PDL-1 expression in patients' bone marrow aspirate samples will be analyzed in order to help select patients for future anti-PD-1 therapy. The main exploratory biomarker analysis was to examine potential correlation between expression of PD-1 on T cells and PD-L1 on myeloma cells with clinical outcome using the following parameters: response rate focusing on responses ≥ very good partial response (VGPR) and PFS. SAS software (v.9.4; SAS Institute, Inc, Cary, NC) was used for statistical analyses. (NCT02289222)
Timeframe: Tissue sample collection will take place before starting study therapy with MK-3475 at baseline and again at time of relapse as defined by the International Myeloma Working Group Response Criteria (Average of up to 24months)
