Hypercoagulability in Cancer Patients. The role of activated protein C in thrombotic manifestation of patients with multiple myeloma. Since the start at the University of Utah I have initiated retrospective and prospective studies of the protein C system function in patients with paraproteinemias and myeloproliferative disorder. I have also continued to test the effect of proteosome inhibition on platelet function.
After establishing 5GTM1 C57BL/KaLwRij sub-strain in a pre-clinical model I have tested the function of a proteasome inhibitor through the PTH-PTHR axis. In the last 22 months I focused the research to confirm the hypothesis of the PTH essential role in anti-myeloma proteasome activity testing the effect of PTHR antibodies and the effects of parathyroidectomy. The C57 BLACK MOUSE MODEL will be measured in the presence of different proteasome inhibitors MLN 9708, carfilzomib and CEP 18770.
I am the principal investigator in three open investigator-initiated trials (Phase I Exploratory Study of Panobinostat IV in Combination with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Patients; Effect of Low Dose Bortezomib on Bone Formation in Smoldering Myeloma Patients; Bone Effect of Bortezomib in Patients with relapsed/refractory Multiple Myeloma), which focus on the bone anabolic activity of proteasome inhibition to determine the minimal proteosome inhibition associated with the anabolic bone effect in multiple myeloma and to evaluate the effect of proteasome inhibition in smoldering myeloma patients. A phase I study, a combination of two bone anabolic drugs panabinostat (a histone deacetylase inhibitor HDAC) and bortezomib in relapse/refractory multiple myeloma patients.
