Filter by:This is a single-arm, open-label, phase I study (safety and dose escalation) of autologous Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cells targeting CD19 in patients with relapsed/refractory B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
In this biological study, blood samples will be collected from patients with CLL treated with targeted agents (ibrutinib and venetoclax) to assess the impact of these treatments on the generation of CAR T cells in terms of manufacturing efficiency, immunophenotypic characteristics and functional properties.
What are the investigators trying to do? By most measures, humans consume more food than needed. Over several decades, overconsumption has led to an increase in a number of diseases, including cancer. What if this could be reversed, or slowed down, by fasting? Would that improve how cancer patients respond to chemotherapy? Could simply changing eating patterns to reduce overall intake be a way to prevent and/or manage cancer? All of these are important questions and the investigators are undertaking a new initiative to study how nutrition and dietary behaviours affect cancer patients. Fasting: A way to improve overall health and increase our defenses to cancer Fasting in various forms has been shown to have a number of health benefits. Intermittent fasting, or time restricted feeding, has been shown to reverse or improve various diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and metabolic syndrome, decrease the risk of cancer, and significantly extend the life of an individual. In previous studies, fasting was well-tolerated with notable improvements in energy levels, sense of well-being, and sleep quality. In cancer patients, clinical trials have demonstrated intermittent fasting to lessen some of the short-term side effects of chemotherapy such as nausea, fatigue, and sleep quality. How fasting alters the course of cancer or improve immune defenses is not yet known but may be an alternative way to treat or manage cancer. The study plan The investigators plan to examine the effects of intermittent fasting (time restricted feeding) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). CLL is the most common chronic leukemia and is presently incurable. The advantage of choosing this patient population is that the cancer is easily assessed with a blood test measuring the amount of cancerous white cells (lymphocytes). Patients who consent to participate in this study will, through the support of an oncology dietitian and after a period of transition, split their daily feeding into a fasting period and a non-fasting period. This regime is as simple as skipping or having a late breakfast. At this time, participants will not be required to limit their total caloric intake. What is required from the participant? The investigators will assess whether intermittent fasting reduces the cancer by measuring the lymphocyte count in the blood over a period of 3 months. Study participants will complete questionnaires to help determine if fasting causes any change in their quality of life. The effects of intermittent fasting on a cancer control system called autophagy, as well as its effects on inflammation will be studied in the Deeley Research Centre laboratory at BC Cancer. What is the short- and long-term impact? In the short-term, if intermittent fasting can have an effect cancer lymphocyte count or on autophagy, then investigators will proceed with further studies to try and optimize the effects of intermittent fasting. In the long-term, this study is expected to be the first-ever to shed light on how intermittent fasting may be linked to cancer survival and/or growth. If true, this will open up new avenues to re-evaluate the inclusion of diet into cancer treatment protocols.
In this study, CAR-T will be administered to children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia to explore the effect of CAR-T intervention time on the duration of complete remission and further verify the long-term safety and efficacy of CAR-T treatment.
This is an open, single-arm, phase I/phase II clinical study to evaluate efficacy and safety of chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy (CAR-T) in the treatment of Relapsed Refractory (R/R) adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia bridging allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
This study is testing the effectiveness of the study drug combination of acalabrutinib, umbralisib, and ublituximab in participants with Chronic Lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The names of the study drugs involved in this study are/is: - Acalabrutinib (CALQUENCE®, ACP-196) - Umbralisib (TGR-1202) - Ublituximab (TG-1101)
The study is a global, multi-center safety and efficacy trial of epcoritamab, an antibody also known as EPKINLY™ and GEN3013 (DuoBody®-CD3xCD20). Epcoritamab will either be studied as: - Monotherapy, or - Combination therapy: - epcoritamab + venetoclax - epcoritamab + lenalidomide - epcoritamab + R-CHOP (i.e., rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine and prednisone). The study includes patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (R/R CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) and patients with Richter's Syndrome (RS). Study participants with R/R CLL/SLL are treated either with epcoritamab as monotherapy or epcoritamab + venetoclax. Study participants with RS are treated either with epcoritamab as monotherapy or epcoritamab + lenalidomide or epcoritamab + R-CHOP. The trial consists of two parts, a dose-escalation phase (phase Ib) and an expansion phase (phase II). Patients with RS are only included in the expansion phase.
Venetoclax is a treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the pharmacokinetic data in Chinese population, as well as the change of venetoclax plasma concentration while taking CYP enzyme inducers or inhibitors, remained unknown so far. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of venetoclax.
A study of CD79b CAR-T Cell Therapy for Patients With Relapsed and/or Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of continuous ibrutinib monotherapy with fixed-duration venetoclax plus obinutuzumab and fixed-duration ibrutinib plus venetoclax by measuring progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with previously untreated CLL.
