Filter by:Patients will receive oral SKLB1028 for 28 days to study the side effects, tolerability and best dose for treating relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia With FLT3 Mutations.
This research trial studies the shotgun sequencing of blood samples in diagnosing febrile neutropenia in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Studying samples of blood from patients with acute myeloid leukemia in the laboratory may help identify pathogens and accurately diagnose infections such as febrile neutropenia.
This study assesses the pharmacokinetics and safety of the new antifungal F901318 in AML patients.
The study will examine the safety profile of SGN-CD123A. The study will test increasing doses of SGN-CD123A given every 3 weeks to patients.
This is a multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label phase 2 study (with a safety run-in phase) of azacitidine (AZA) 75 mg/m2 given IV or SQ on days 1-7 every 28 days in combination with pembrolizumab 200 mg given IV every 3 weeks (starting on day 8 of cycle 1). The dose/schedule of AZA selected for this study is FDA approved for patients with MDS/AML.
Blood transfusion requirement represents one of the most significant cost driver associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In addition to an increase prevalence of co morbidities in older patients, AML in older patients is more often associated with adverse features than in younger adults. Physicians might therefore decide to offer palliative or supportive care rather than intensive chemotherapy. An alternative treatment could be low-intensity therapy, such as LD-AraC or hypomethylating agents, which demonstrated better results than only Best Supportive care (BSC). Blood transfusion requirement represents one of the most significant cost driver associated with AML. The present study assesses the cost-effectiveness of intensive chemotherapy versus Best Supportive Care (BSC) versus alternative therapies (hypomethylating agents, low-dose cytosine arabinoside (LD-AraC), or other investigational drugs) in elderly patients aged 70 years or older regarding blood product transfusions from a French payer perspective. Intensive chemotherapy and BSC were the comparators in this analysis, since they continue to represent the most commonly used treatment for elderly AML according to the defined status of patients considered as 'fit' or 'unfit' for intensive chemotherapy.
Patients aged ≥70 years with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have a poorer prognosis than those aged 60 to 69 years. The poor outcome is the result of treatment-related toxicity in elderly patients, owing to comorbidities, the greater possibility of other hematopoietic disorders, and a biologically poor risk prognosis. Anthracycline- and cytarabine-based therapy, administered for 3 and 7 days respectively (3 +7), remains the standard induction therapy for this patient population. This approach improved survival compared with supportive care (median, 5 vs. 3 months) for adults aged ≥ 65 years. However, the overall view has been that the results of intensive chemotherapy in elderly patients remain poor. Although complete remission (CR) rates of 40% to 80% can be achieved in highly selected populations, long-term survival has been poor. Furthermore, most clinical trials have only enrolled patients with an adequate performance status (PS). Prognostic models have been developed from clinical trial data to predict the outcomes for older patients. However; each model relies on chronologic age. Age is a surrogate measure for both changes in tumor biology and patient characteristics. Understanding which patients are likely to benefit from intensive therapies versus low-intensity therapies or supportive care is critical. The definition of "fit" to undergo intensive induction therapy has not been established, and the therapeutic choice is mainly determined by physician and patient decision. In older patients, low-dose cytarabine (LD-AraC) has been demonstrated to be more beneficial than best supportive care and hydroxyurea. The recent availability of new drugs that could have an improved side effect profile and, in some cases, bioavailability might offer future improvement for this patient population. In this setting, the investigators have tended to consider, since 2007, patients aged ≥70 years as potential candidates for alternative lower intensity therapy (LD-AraC, hypomethylating agents) even when they presented in good physical condition. The investigators goal was to determine whether age ≥ 70 years could represent a useful and simple cut off for treatment decision-making in clinical practice and whether low-intensity therapy could be an alternative therapeutic approach to intensive chemotherapy even for patients aged ≥ 70 years who were theoretically "fit" (WHO /ECOG/ PS of ≤ 2).
This is an open label study of the dose and duration of an orally administered lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) inhibitor, bomedemstat, in patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Some participants may also receive all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA; also known as tretinoin and Vesanoid®) in combination with bomedemstat. This study investigates the following: - The safety and tolerability of bomedemstat with and without ATRA - The pharmacodynamic effect of different doses of bomedemstat and treatment durations, as well as bomedemstat administered in combination with ATRA - The pharmacokinetics of bomedemstat with and without ATRA
Over recent decades, improvements have been made in the treatment of adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This has been mainly attributed to improvements in supportive therapy and to intensification of treatment strategies. The introduction of a post-induction myeloablative regimen followed by allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) has reduced the relapse rate in younger adults. However, this procedure is limited by the availability of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical donors and conventional SCT preparative regimens according to patient age. In the absence of a compatible donor, myeloablative chemotherapy followed by autologous peripheral blood (PB) SCT remains one treatment strategy in adult patients with AML, allowing 35 - 50% long-term survivors. Despite several advantages of the CD34+ cell mobilization procedure, recent data have shown that relapse was higher and leukemia-free survival (LFS) shorter compared with bone marrow (BM) autografts. Higher doses of CD34+ peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are collected to ensure engraftment and possibly reduce the incidence of treatment-related mortality (TRM). Although there is a threshold CD34+ cell dose below which engraftment is delayed in AML, the positive linear correlation of the number of CD34+ cells and kinetics of engraftment reaches a limit above which an increase in the number of progenitor cells does not provide any additional benefit. Relapse has been shown to be higher and survival shorter for those who receive the highest CD34+ PB doses. Although highly active against the leukemia bulk, intensive chemotherapy often spares the hardiest leukemia stem cells (LSCs) responsible for relapse. Detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) in autologous PBSC products may reflect inadequate in vivo purging, at least in part responsible for relapse. Although representing a heterogeneous cell population including both normal and leukemia cells, and despite that recent data have challenged the CD34+ CD38- phenotype of LSCs in AML, the CD34+ CD38- cell population generally remains considered enriched for LSCs. In this setting, MRD remaining during morphological complete remission (CR) should be relatively enriched in CD34+ CD38- leukemia cells, and their persistence after CR achievement should correlate with disease recurrence. This was investigated in a cohort of 123 patients with AML following apheresis procedures after CR achievement. The investigators also studied the impact of the infused dose of subpopulations of CD34+ PB cells on the outcome of a subset of 71 patients who further underwent autologous PBSCT.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the regimen limiting toxicities (RLT) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of indoximod in patients with newly diagnosed AML receiving remission induction chemotherapy with cytarabine and idarubicin.
