This study will help develop new methods of rehabilitating Veterans with vision loss due to Age-related macular degeneration.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate post-transplant immune reconstitution and lymphocyte recovery as well as the 3-year progression-free survival of patients with multiple myeloma in two treatment arms. One arm will receive Maintenance Vitamin D and the other arm will receive no maintenance Vitamin D prior to ASCT. Post ASCT arm 1 will have lenalidomide and maintenance VitD, and arm 2 will receive lenalidomide and no maintenance VitD. This clinical trial will also evaluate the overall response rate and survival for both treatment arms.

The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of induction treatment with daratumumab-hyaluronidase (dara SC) with cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-CyBorD) for four cycles in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who have new onset renal failure. This study will also investigate the difference responses in African American (AA) patients versus non-African American patients.
The primary questions this study aims to answer are:
1. To evaluate the very good partial response rate (VGPR) after 4 cycles of Dara-CyBord.
2. To evaluate the renal response rate (RRR) after 4 cycles of Dara-CyBord.
