Filter by:This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well azacitidine and enasidenib work in treating patients with IDH2-mutant myelodysplastic syndrome. Azacitidine and enasidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This is a prospective,uncontrolled and multi-institution trial.The aim is to identify if using decitabine,cytarabine and ATO as the therapy of acute myeloid leukemia(AML) with p53 mutations has better relapse free survival and complete response than using decitabine and cytarabine. TP53 mutation is commonly associated with poor cancer patient prognosis yet no mutant p53 (mp53)-targeting regimen was clinically established. Particularly, p53 mutation is associated with extremely poor prognosis in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Decitabine (DAC) is a FDA approved drug for MDS treatment. In two independent clinical trials reported recently, DNA demethylating drug DAC treatment yielded a surprisingly high rate of complete remission (CR) in mp53-harboring AML/MDS patients (Welch, NEJM, 2016; Chang, BJH, 2017). Notably, all of the mp53-expressing patients in the two clinical studies relapsed quickly. Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is a FDA approved drug for M3-AML treatment. Despite of the observed efficacy in treating non-APL patients, ATO is not yet approved for non-APL cancer treatment. ATO plays key role in regulating both wild-type p53 (wtp53) and mp53. Our published and unpublished data suggest ATO potentially hijacks nuclear iASPP-mediated STRaND pathway via exposing iASPP's RaDAR nuclear import code (Lu, Cancer Cell, 2013; Lu, Cell, 2014; Lu, Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol, 2016; Lu, unpublished). Our unpublished data also suggests a key role of ATO in regulating mp53 (Lu, The 17th International p53 Workshop, 2017). ATO is widely reported to be able to degrade and thus inhibit mp53's oncogenic function (Hamadeh, BBRC, 1999)(Liu, Blood, 2003). ATO suppressed cancer cell growth by targeting mp53 for degradation by Pirh2 degradation pathway (Yang, JBC, 2011; Yan, PLOS one, 2014); Here we explore the potential of combination of DAC and ATO in improving the mp53-harboring AML/MDS patients' relapse free survival (RFS) and the ability to thoroughly eliminate mp53 subclone. Basic researches aiming to explore the mechanisms how mp53 cells responds to DAC and/or ATO treatment and how mp53 cells develop resistance to DAC and/or ATO will be coupled. We designate trials aiming for a better treatment regimen for mp53 patients as 'PANDA-Trials'.
A phase II trial to compare the efficacy and safety of nivolumab and intermediate dose cytarabine with or without haploidentical lymphocyte infusion. To identify the role of haploidentical lymphocytes in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia in older adults. The patients will be stratified based on the remission number (first or second)
The purpose of this study was to gather and evaluate additional safety and efficacy data on the combination of midostaurin and standard of care for adult patients with newly diagnosed Fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor (FLT3) mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who were eligible for standard induction and consolidation
This study includes patients with relapsed acute leukemia who have previously been treated with standard treatment that is still present and there is no curative treatment option available. Researchers are studying whether the drug Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin, followed by an infusion of blood cells called leukocytes from a donor, can stimulate the immune system to potentially fight the leukemia. Gemtuzmab ozogamicin is a class of drugs known as an antibody drug conjugate. The drug is given on days 1,4,7. It is infused, attaches to cells with a certain marker on the surface (the majority of which would be leukemia cells). The drug is then internalized and the chemotherapy drug becomes activated. Gemtuzumab is currently FDA approved for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. The infusion of leukocytes to stimulate the immune system to fight your leukemia is investigational and has not been proven to cure cancer. This combination of Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin and donor leukocytes is not an FDA approved treatment and is investigational. Initially a total of 6 patients will be included in the study to assess the safety of the treatment. Once 6 patients have been treated and no unacceptable toxicities are seen, more patients will be enrolled. The study will treat up to 18 patients on the study.
This research study is evaluating the impact of a psychological intervention mobile application (app) on the quality of life, mood, and symptoms of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
This phase I trial studies the side effects of DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401, poly ICLC, decitabine, and nivolumab in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401 is a vaccine that may help the immune system specifically target and kill cancer cells. Poly ICLC may help stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401, poly ICLC, decitabine, and nivolumab may work better in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate of the clinical efficacy and safety of DLAAG protocol in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome with blast excess
The treatment of very elderly patients (≥70 years) with acute myeloid leukemia remains controversial. Although the outcome in younger adults has improved because of cytarabine- and anthracycline-based chemotherapy with advanced supportive care and introduction of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the benefit associated with standard intensive chemotherapy in older patients remain debatable. Life expectancy in elderly patients is a function of age, disability and comorbidity, performance score, along with leukemia characteristics such as genetic alterations or white blood cell count at diagnosis 'Older' patients are generally considered those aged 60 years or older. Intensive chemotherapy delivered to the very elderly with AML (patients _70 years of age), may not be beneficial to most and could be harmful to some. However, these patients are often referred to as 'unfit' or ineligible for intensive remission induction therapy. In daily practice, the final decision to treat intensively or not is made by the treating hematologist on a case by case basis according to patient's age, cytogenetics, performance score, concomitant diseases and type of AML (de novo or secondary). In older patients considered 'unfit' for intensive treatment, LD-AraC has been demonstrated to be more beneficial than best supportive care and hydroxyurea. The recent availability of new drugs that may have an improved side effect profile and in some cases bioavailability may offer future improvement for this patient population. The efficacy of hypomethylating agents has been studied in older AML patients with conflicting results. Recent publications refined prognostic information, which not only optimize existing treatments but also could lead to the development of additional targeted therapeutic approaches. In this study, the investigators focus on patients with AML (_20% blasts) aged 70 or older seen in our institution over a 14-year period. The objectives of the analysis are to describe the demographic, clinical and biological characteristics of this population and to evaluate how these characteristics and the treatment chosen affect
This study is a single center, single arm, open-labeled phase 2 clinical study. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of allogeneic natural killer cell (MG4101). After lymphodepletion with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, the patient will receive MG4101. Each cycle consists of 28 days, and a total of 2 cycles of MG4101 will be administered with IL-2 to activate the study drug. The efficacy of MG4101 will be evaluated after 8 weeks from the first day of treatment. We will evaluate the safety of the drug measuring the vital sign, laboratory tests, and adverse events.
