Filter by:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal disease caused by genetic mutations in Hematopoietic stem progenitor cells. Unfortunately, advanced age (>60 years old) is considered to be one of the most important adverse prognostic factors for AML, and older patients are unable to tolerate high-dose chemotherapy, due to various complications and organ dysfunction. Based on the results of the previous research, we will carry out the pretreatment regimen of decitabine + cytarabine in elderly patients with AML who have achieved disease treatment through induction therapy, and continue the transplantation program of unrelated-blood cord blood. By assessing the patient's DFS,OS,RFS and safety to determine whether the regimen is suitable for the consolidation treatment of elderly acute myeloid leukemia, further clarify the efficacy of this regimen compared with traditional consolidation therapy, and initially confirm the effect of combined with unrelated cord blood transplantation in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.
In this research study, our main goal for the ipilimumab portion of the study is to determine the highest dose of ipilimumab that can be given safely in several courses and to determine what side effects are seen in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN), Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), or Myelofibrosis (MF).
The purpose of this study is to determine if a search strategy of searching for an HLA-matched unrelated donor for allogeneic transplantation if possible then an alternative donor if an HLA-matched unrelated donor is not available versus proceeding directly to an alternative donor transplant will result in better survival for allogeneic transplant recipients within 2 years after study enrollment.
We previously reported results of a prospective observational study demonstrating that early response defined as reduction in bone marrow (BM) blast counts to less than 5% of BM cells by the fifth day of induction therapy is a strong predictor of remission and overall survival (Ofran Y, et al. AJH, 2015). The long term survival benefit of early response was confirmed later on after a median follow-up for surviving patients of 53 months (range 17.5-84.5).
This phase I study hopes to explore how safe and tolerable is the combination of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) and midostaurin, with the standard induction therapy (cytarabine and daunorubicin) in patients with newly diagnosed FLT-3 mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). GO is FDA approved for the treatment of adults with newly diagnosed CD33 positive AML and used in combination with chemotherapy, cytarabine and daunorubicin. Midostaurin is FDA approved for use with cytarabine and daunorubicin in patients with FLT3-mutated AML. By combining standard induction therapy with GO and midostaurin, our aim is to investigate a novel approach to treating patients with newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML.
The trial is a randomized, open-label phase III study comparing CPX-351 vs conventional intensive induction and consolidation chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed AML and intermediate- or adverse-risk genetics (according to 2017 ELN criteria), including AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC) and therapy-related AML according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. Overall survival (OS) in the restricted set of de novo patients will be the primary endpoint.
This is a single center, open-label phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted CD19 chimeric antigen receptor engineered T cell immunotherapy (CART) in the treatment of CD19 positive relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust is committed to improving patient experience; this research is being undertaken to try to develop a novel treatment for patients with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). Researchers aim to develop a new therapy which uses a patient's own immune cells called T cells to treat AML. In this study, numbers and properties of T cells which can be collected from the blood of patients with AML at various points throughout their treatment will be investigated. Blood samples will be collected at the same time as the patient's bone marrow test. If patients need further bone marrow tests during their course of treatment to assess the status of disease, the research team would ask that additional samples are taken at the same time as the bone marrow and blood will be collected at the same time as the routine blood draw. Following collection of blood samples, they will be used to purify a population of blood cells called Gamma Delta T cells which have been shown to have a potential role in control of cancers. In addition the researchers plan to determine whether it is possible to put a novel receptor called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to potentially directly target leukaemia cells. Currently this is only an exploratory study and none of the samples collected will be used for treatment and is only to assess whether or not this strategy is feasible. This may however lead on to studies in the future looking at the safety and effectiveness of this strategy. This hopefully will lead in the future to improvements in treatment and outcome for patients with AML.

This cohort study aims to investigate the composition and activity of the gut microbiota of patients newly diagnosed for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), in relationship with their food habits and cachectic hallmarks. The recruitment for this study is currently ongoing with the help of clinicians, nurses and data managers at the Saint-Luc clinics, University Hospital Leuven (Campus Gasthuisberg) and University Hospital Gent. Primary Objective •To assess the composition and activity of the gut microbiota in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) compared to matched control subjects. Secondary Objectives - To investigate correlations between the gut microbiota, cachectic hallmarks and gut microbiota-related markers in the blood (gut permeability markers, microbial compounds, microbial metabolites). - To characterize the changes in the gut microbial ecosystem that are induced by chemotherapy and associated with colitis. - To assess whether the composition of the gut microbiota can predict the severity of chemotherapy-related colitis. Study Design This is an academic multi-centric prospective study. The study is composed of two cohorts (Fig. 1). In Cohort A, patients are included before any chemotherapy. Biological samples (urine, feces, blood) are collected, alongside information on nutritional habits, appetite and medical records. Muscle strength and body composition are also measured. Only patients receiving a standard chemotherapy are included in Cohort B. In Cohort B, biological samples are collected and body composition, muscle strength and appetite are evaluated at 2 different time points, at the end of the chemotherapy (T1) and at discharge (T4).
This is an open label study to assess the safety and efficacy of CPX-351 in combination with gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) as first intensive therapy in older (age >55 years) subjects with newly diagnosed AML who are eligible for intensive induction chemotherapy, or AML subjects who previously failed low-intensity therapy but who would be eligible for high-intensity chemotherapy, with companion cognitive function testing to determine whether this contributes to outcome in these subjects. Subjects may have received prior AML treatment with non-intensive regimens, e.g. hypomethylating agents, low-dose cytarabine, or lenalidomide or a clinical trial drug in combination with hypomethylating agents or low-dose cytarabine, but may not have received intensive AML treatment with anthracyclines and/or infusional cytarabine prior to enrollment on this trial. Subjects may not have been treated with GO or other antibody targeting CD 33 prior to enrollment on this trial. The cohort will include 30 subjects treated with the combination of CPX-351 and GO and is designed to establish the safety and feasibility of the combination. These subjects will be assessed for efficacy and safety. Quality of life will be assessed using the FACT-LEU in all subjects. Cognitive function will be assessed using the Blessed Orientation-Memory-Concentration Test and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
