What This Trial Is Studying

The outlook for patients with haematological malignancies remains challenging. It has been shown in some early cancer studies that a particular drug called Zn-DDC otherwise known as Imuthiol is highly toxic to cancer stem cells. Imuthiol has been intravenously used in clinical trials with an excellent safety record. Recent novel therapy and immunotherapy in haematological malignancies have improved outcome and survival but come with an increasing cost burden. Imuthiol could be an ideal affordable drug to study on it's own as well as in combination with other drugs in myeloma…

Eligibility Snapshot
  • : * Patients diagnosed with haematological malignancy - either myeloma or acute leukaemia * Patients must be 18 years or over * Patients must be willing and able to give informed consent
