Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, in terms of hematologic improvement, and safety of imetelstat in participants with high-risk (HR) myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is relapsed/refractory to hypomethylating agents (HMAs) treatment. Responding patients are eligible to continue treatment until loss of response/disease progression.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous clonal myeloid neoplasm where abnormal proliferation and impaired differentiation of hematopoietic stem and myeloid progenitor cells impedes normal hematopoiesis. Sulfasalazine (SSZ) is a broadly available, well tolerated anti-inflammatory medicine approved for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Intact SSZ, but not its metabolites 5-aminosalicylic acid and sulfapyridine, competitively inhibits xCT.21 SSZ is thus an ideal candidate for drug repurposing in AML.The purpose of this phase I study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of such strategy, provide preliminary signals of efficacy, and identify potential biomarkers
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that cytokine-induced memory-like natural killer cells can be generated from donor cells and infused safely into patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A secondary objective is to assess efficacy of the CIML-NK cells in treating AML.
This research study is studying a new drug, uproleselan, to see if it is safe and effective in decreasing relapse after stem cell transplant and improving leukemia-free survival in pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The name of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Uproleselan - Busulfan - Clofarabine - Fludarabine - Tacrolimus - Methotrexate - Mycophenolate Mofetil
This MyeloMATCH Master Screening and Reassessment Protocol (MSRP) evaluates the use of a screening tool and specific laboratory tests to help improve participants' ability to register to clinical trials throughout the course of their myeloid cancer (acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome) treatment. This study involves testing patients' bone marrow and blood for certain biomarkers. A biomarker (sometimes called a marker) is any molecule in the body that can be measured. Doctors look at markers to learn what is happening in the body. Knowing about certain markers can give doctors more information about what is driving the cancer and how to treat it. Testing patients' bone marrow and blood will show doctors if patients have markers that specific drugs can target. The marker testing in this study will let doctors know if they can match patients with a treatment study (myeloMATCH clinical trial) that tests treatment for the type of cancer they have or continue standard of care treatment with their doctor on the Tier Advancement Pathway (TAP).
To explore the effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health education standard path on the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A total of 60 patients with acute myeloid leukemia in Shijiazhuang Ping An Hospital were selected and divided into control group (n=30) and observation group (n=30) according to the time of admission. Both groups received the same chemotherapy, the control group received routine nursing, and the observation group received TCM health education standard path intervention. The scores of Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Spitzer Quality of Life Index (QLI), awareness of TCM health education standard path content and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.
AML in adults represents a group of heterogeneous diseases; the prognosis remains poor despite significant therapeutic advances in recent years. In order to optimize patient care, it is necessary to have "real life" data that exhaustively reports on the patients treated in our department. The objective of this study is: - To describe the AML treated within the hematology department - To optimize the management of patients with AML.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of combining the drugs gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) with CPX-351 in order to treat the disease, as well as to find the maximum tolerated dose level and recommended Phase 2 dose level of GO with a fixed dose of CPX-351.
This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial compares cytarabine versus (vs.) cytarabine and venetoclax vs. liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine and venetoclax vs. azacitidine and venetoclax for treating patients who have residual disease after treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Cytarabine is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine is a drug formulation that delivers daunorubicin and cytarabine in small spheres called liposomes, which may make the drugs safer or more effective. Azacitidine is a drug that interacts with DNA and leads to the activation of tumor suppressor genes, which are genes that help control cell growth. This study may help the study doctors find out if the different drug combinations are equally effective to the usual approach of cytarabine alone while requiring a shorter duration of treatment. To decide if they are better, the study doctors will be looking to see if the study drugs lead to a higher percentage of patients achieving a deeper remission compared to cytarabine alone.
This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial tests whether the standard approach of cytarabine and daunorubicin in comparison to the following experimental regimens works to shrink cancer in patients with high risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML): 1) daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome alone; 2) cytarabine and daunorubicin with venetoclax; 3) azacitidine and venetoclax; 4) daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome and venetoclax. "High-risk" refers to traits that have been known to make the AML harder to treat. Cytarabine is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. Daunorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. It also works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. Azacitidine is in a class of medications called demethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. There is evidence that these newer experimental treatment regimens may work better in getting rid of more AML compared to the standard approach of cytarabine and daunorubicin.
