Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is cancer that begins in plasma cells, a type of white blood cell. Plasma cells are white blood cells that make antibodies. Antibodies are part of the immune system. They work with other parts of the immune system to help protect the body from germs and other harmful substances. [Source: www.cancer.gov]

Multiple Myeloma Study - B2207
The purpose of this phase Ib, multi-center, open-label study will be to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose of a Novartis investigational drug on a continuous schedule in combination with an existing therapy in adults suffering from multiple myeloma. An "investigational drug" is a drug that is being clinically tested and is not approved for sale or use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the indication in which it is being studied.
Trial phase: Phase 1
Participation Duration: Participation in this study will require five visits in the first week of the study, with the frequency of visits reducing thereafter for the length of participation in the study. Each of these visits should take about 1-3 hours, but there are a few visits that may take up to 8 hours.
Protocol Number: CLBH589B2207
Multiple Myeloma (Refractory/Relapsed) Study - D2308
The purpose of this prospective, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group Phase III study is to compare the results in progression-free survival of 2 combination therapies in people with previously treated multiple myeloma whose disease has recurred or progressed. An "investigational drug" is a drug that is being clinically tested and is not approved for sale or use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the indication in which it is being studied.
Trial phase: Phase 3
Participation Duration: Participation in this study will require going to the doctors office or clinic 5 times in the first two weeks and then 4 times per cycle every study treatment cycle (each study cycle is 21 days long). Each visit is 1 - 4 hours.
Protocol Number: CLBH589D2308
