Filter by:This is a pilot study using decitabine and vorinostat before and during chemotherapy with fludarabine, cytarabine and G-CSF (FLAG).
This phase II trial studies how well blinatumomab, methotrexate, cytarabine, and ponatinib work in treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive, or BCR-ABL positive, or acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate and cytarabine, 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. Ponatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving blinatumomab, methotrexate, cytarabine, and ponatinib may work better in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Imatinib, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is used for treatment of Philadelphia positive chronic myeloid leukemia. Despite its efficacy and favorable pharmacokinetic profile, there is a large inter-individual variability in imatinib plasma concentrations, which may lead to treatment failure and disease progression. Polymorphisms in genes related to absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of imatinib may affect the bioavailability and consequently the response to the drug. The study aims to investigate the possible effect of genetic polymorphisms in certain metabolizing enzymes [CYP3A5*3 (rs776746), CYP2C8*3 (rs11572080 and rs10509681)] and membrane transporters [ABCB1 2677G>T/A (rs2032582) and SLC22A1 1222A > G (rs628031)] by PCR on the plasma level (by HPLC-UV) and molecular response (MMR) of imatinib in patients with CML. The study also aims to provide CML patients with a personalized treatment option, thereby probably improving the response and reducing the side effects.
The study will include newly-diagnosed AML patients, not suffering acute promyelocytic leukemia; aged 18-60 years, who are eligible for standard induction chemotherapy. The patients will be randomized to one standard induction regimen (DAC or DA-90). At day seven after completion of induction, a bone marrow aspiration with MRD will be performed for an early evaluation of response to treatment. Patients without bone marrow blast reduction below 10% at day seven after induction will be given a second early induction course. Patients who do not achieve CR after two induction courses will be randomized to one of the standard salvage regimens (FLAG-IDA or CLAG-M). Postremission treatment intensity will be adjusted to risk group based on cytogenetic and molecular risk factors at diagnosis and AML biology (secondary AML, therapy related AML). Patients with a low risk of relapse will be allocated to consolidation, with three courses of high doses of Ara-C (HiDAC), or two courses of HiDAC with subsequent autologous stem cell transplantation. Intermediate- or high-risk patients will be referred for allogeneic stem cell transplantation, if they have a matched donor. Until transplantation, consolidation with HiDAC will be continued.
The purpose of this prospective, open-label, randomized multicenter study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of low dose decitabine in combination with modified BUCY vs modified BUCY as a myeloablative conditioning regimen for high-risk patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT).
This is a randomized, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy of crenolanib administered following salvage chemotherapy, consolidation chemotherapy, post bone marrow transplantation and as maintenance in relapsed/refractory AML subjects with FLT3 activating mutation.
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose of sorafenib when given together with busulfan and fludarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment and who are undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Sorafenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as busulfan and fludarabine, 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. Giving sorafenib with busulfan and fludarabine may work better in treating patients with recurrent or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
This randomized phase II trial includes a blood stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor to treat blood cancer. The treatment also includes chemotherapy drugs, but in lower doses than conventional (standard) stem cell transplants. The researchers will compare two different drug combinations used to reduce the risk of a common but serious complication called "graft versus host disease" (GVHD) following the transplant. Two drugs, cyclosporine (CSP) and sirolimus (SIR), will be combined with either mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). This part of the transplant procedure is the main research focus of the study.
To provide access to ivosidenib monotherapy to patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation.
The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate whether some patients who were started on a 2G-TKI as first-line treatment can be safely switched to imatinib, a first-generation TKI, while maintaining or even deepening the molecular response as a cost-effective treatment. Eligible patients will be switched to imatinib 400mg daily, with regular molecular monitoring.
