Filter by:Ex vivo expanded human myeloid progenitor cells (hMPCs; CLT-008) have the potential to accelerate neutrophil recovery and decrease the risk of febrile neutropenia and infection in patients receiving chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), or high-risk myelodysplasia (MDS). In this study, the safety, tolerability and activity of CLT-008 administered after "standard of care" cytarabine-based consolidation or induction/re-induction chemotherapy will be determined by monitoring for adverse reactions, infusion reactions, graft-versus host disease (GVHD), neutrophil and platelet recovery, hMPC persistence, infections and complications.
Adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia who experience a relapse after at least two prior treatment regimens may be enrolled in this trial. The trial will examine whether monotherapy with BI 836826 is safe and tolerable at escalating dose levels.
The study objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of US-ATG-F as a supplement to standard of care prophylaxis versus standard of care prophylaxis alone in moderate to severe chronic GVHD-free survival.
Rationale New chemotherapeutic agents are needed in relapsing B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-CLL) to overcome resistance of CLL cells. Valproic acid (VPA) is an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) used as an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug for decades. VPA mediates apoptosis in CLL cells through caspase activation. VPA shows toxicity toward CLL cells displaying alterations in the p53 pathway. The combination of VPA with fludarabine or 2-Chlorodeoxyadenosine (CdA, Cladribine) results in synergistic loss of B-CLL cell viability, and significant increase in apoptosis. The highest index of synergism is observed between VPA and CdA, a purine nucleoside analog active in B-CLL. Study design Overall, the study will be proposed to previously treated patients with advanced B-CLL, who are not eligible for aggressive approaches, and who exhibit progressive disease. A total of 33 patients will be included. Estimated enrolment time is 2 years. - First part: It is planned to start therapy with single VPA during 2 months, targeting plasma levels that have been reported to be active in vitro toward CLL cells (but that do not exceed therapeutic levels in seizure prevention), and in parallel, to verify whether cellular targets of VPA have been actually inhibited in leukemic B-lymphocytes. - Second part: After the VPA preloading period (2 months), patients will be evaluated to receive CdA. CdA will be given at 5.6 mg/m²/day intravenously during 3 days, a reduced-dose schedule which is less toxic - at no obvious cost of loss of efficacy - as compared to the standard dosage of 5 days. CdA was chosen because it displays the highest level of in vitro synergism with VPA. Four monthly courses of CdA will be given. Patients will then be evaluated. VPA will be stopped at the time of response evaluation (scheduled 28 days after the last course of CdA).
RATIONALE: Studying samples of bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in bone marrow samples from patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
This randomized, parallel-group, multi-center study will compare the pharmacokinetics and safety of subcutaneous administration of MabThera (rituximab) versus intravenous MabThera in combination with chemotherapy in previously untreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The study consists of 2 parts. In part 1, patients who have previously received 4 cycles of intravenous MabThera will receive in Cycle 5 intravenous MabThera and in Cycle 6 subcutaneous MabThera. In part 2, patients will be randomized to receive either 6 cycles of intravenous MabThera, or 1 cycle of intravenous MabThera and 5 cycles of subcutaneous MabThera. Additionally, all patients will receive chemotherapy (fludarabine and cyclophosphamide) on Days 1-3 or Days 1-5 of every cycle. The anticipated time on study drug is 24 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to establish the safety of orally administered PCI-32765 in combination with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide/rituximab (FCR) and bendamustine/rituximab (BR) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma(SLL).
This is a Phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of polatuzumab vedotin administered as a single agent by intravenous (IV) infusion to participants with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies. In Phase Ib, participants will receive polatuzumab vedotin in combination with rituximab.
The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence of subcutaneous Vidaza® and subcutaneous Luitpold Azacitidine pharmacokinetics and to assess the comparative safety of subcutaneous Vidaza® versus subcutaneous Luitpold Azacitidine.
