Filter by:Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) is a group of blood disorders where the bone marrow does not produce enough mature red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. In a healthy person, the bone marrow makes blood stem cells (immature cells, also called 'blasts') that become mature blood cells over time. In people with MDS, this process is affected and immature blood cells in the bone marrow do not mature fully to become healthy blood cells. This causes a lack of healthy blood cells that can function properly. With fewer healthy blood cells, infection, anaemia, or easy bleeding may occur. MDS can progress to acute myeloid leukaemia in 25-30% of patients, and if untreated it can be rapidly fatal. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the standard treatment, azacitidine (Vidaza) given as an injection under the skin compared to the same medication (called CC-486) taken as a tablet by mouth. Vidaza is approved by the Australian Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA) as standard treatment for MDS. CC-486 is an experimental treatment. This means it is not an approved treatment for MDS in Australia. CC-486 is being developed to increase convenience and make it easier for patients to continue their treatment. So far it has been given to over 870 patients in studies across the world. The treatment in the injection and the tablet is the same. Studies like this one are being done to ensure the tablet works in the same way as the standard injected treatment. Vidaza is given by subcutaneous injection (ie under the skin) over an hour for 7 days every 4 weeks for as long as it continues to work. All study participants will receive active treatment (there is no placebo), and all participants will receive the standard injection for six treatment cycles followed by the new tablet medication taken once daily for 21 days every 4 weeks. This allows the researchers to compare the two ways of giving the medicine.
Purpose: The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether a microfluidics assay can detect trace amounts of residual leukemia and predict relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in remission who have undergone allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) or Induction and Consolidation Chemotherapy (ICC) at the North Carolina Cancer Hospital (NCCH). Procedures (methods): A total of 40 eligible subjects will be treated per standard of care with either SCT or induction and consolidation chemotherapy (ICC) based on the appropriate AML treatment paradigm for their disease. Peripheral blood (10 ml) for microfluidic chip analysis and possible Immune Monitoring Core Facility analysis will be collected along with routine lab draws prior to SCT. Patients in remission after SCT or those with confirmed remission by bone marrow biopsy after induction chemotherapy will be followed for 1 year; and peripheral blood (20 ml) will be collected to assess MRD by standard methods or by microfluidic chip analysis on a monthly basis. In addition, bone marrow biopsies will be performed at the end of consolidation (typically 5 months from remission), and at 1-year post remission in non-transplant patients. In transplanted patients, bone marrow biopsies will be collected at + 30 days, + 90 days, +180 days, and +360 days after SCT.
A phase 1b, open label, multi-center trial of AB-110 in adults with hematologic malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and myelodysplasia (MDS) undergoing cord blood transplantation. Subjects will receive unmanipulated cord blood (UCB) and AB-110 expanded CD34 enriched hematopoietic progenitor cells (HSPC).
ASLAN003-003 is a multi-center, Phase IIA study to evalute the efficacy of ASLAN003 in AML patients who are ineligible for standard treatment with an expansion cohort in relapsed/refractory patients, and to determine the appropriate dose of ASLAN003 in combination with azacitidine in older (more than or equal to 60 years) AML patients who have exhausted any approved and available treatment options.
This project aim at deciphering immune mechanisms that allow the immunoescape of AML initiating cells.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a novel electronic decision aid to improve AML patients' understanding of their illness, prognosis, and treatment options.
This is a prospective, single-center phase I clinical study aimed at determining the maximum-tolerated dose, recommended phase 2 dose and safety of Lintuzumab-Ac225 in combination with CLAG-M chemotherapy in the management of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia. This study uses a 3+3 design with a five-patient cohort at the recommended phase 2 dose.
The purpose of this study is to assesses the benefit, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BST-236 in patients with newly-diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who are not eligible for standard induction chemotherapy due to advanced age or comorbidities. The Complete Remission (CR) rate following treatment with BST-236 will be compared to the CR rate reported in historical data in a similar population.
Published data regarding the temporal pattern of AML are scarce and old. The greater knowledge of these neoplasias has made that their classification has been remarkable modified. Therefore, we consider relevant to carry out the present study as it would allow us to analyze the potential existence of a spatio-temporal pattern in the incidence of AML in Spain.
Patients with acute leukaemia requiring induction or consolidation chemotherapy and those requiring a haematopoietic stem cell transplant are at high risk of fever and infection when they have low white cell counts (neutropenic fever). The causes of neutropenic fever are frequently unknown and patients are treated with broad antibiotics, without a clear target to what is being treated. This study will prospectively enroll patients who are receiving chemotherapy for acute leukaemia or for a stem cell transplant and compare the diagnostic utility of bacterial and fungal PCR performed directly off blood drawn, to the standard blood culture. Patients who have persistent fever after 72 hours of antibiotics will then be randomized to have either the interventional scan (PET/CT) or the conventional scan (standard CT) to look for a source of infection. Diagnostic yield, change in management and outcomes will be compared between arms.
