Filter by:Phase II trial combining azacitidine with valproic acid as maintenance therapy post allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients with high-risk MDS/AML. We hypothesize that adding valproic acid to azacitidine will improve outcomes via both direct anti-tumor and immunologically mediated antitumor response with alloreactive donor lymphocytes, having an additive effect and extending 1 year survival in patient with high-risk AML/MDS after hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Based on aforementioned data from the US Department of Health and Human Services, standard 1 year survival for AML after stem cell transplant is near 40%. We hypothesize that valproic acid and azacitidine will prolong survival, with a 1 year survival goal of 60%. In addition to assessing for 1 year survival, we will have secondary objectives of assessing progression-free survival, relapse, and toxicity. The primary toxicity endpoint from this will be cytopenias and infections.
This pilot clinical trial aims to assess feasibility and tolerability of using an LINAC based "organ-sparing marrow-targeted irradiation" to condition patients with high-risk hematological malignancies who are otherwise ineligible to undergo myeloablative Total body irradiation (TBI)-based conditioning prior to allogeneic stem cell transplant. The target patient populations are those with ALL, AML, MDS who are either elderly (>50 years of age) but healthy, or younger patients with worse medical comorbidities (HCT-Specific Comorbidity Index Score (HCT-CI) > 4). The goal is to have the patients benefit from potentially more efficacious myeloablative radiation based conditioning approach without the side effects associated with TBI.
This clinical trial studies decitabine and cytarabine in treating older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome that is likely to come back or spread to other places in the body, or myeloproliferative neoplasm. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving decitabine and cytarabine may work better than standard therapies in treating cancers of the bone marrow and blood cells, such as acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or myeloproliferative neoplasm.
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation followed by targeted immune therapy with Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (Mylotarg) will be given to patients with average risk AML or MDS.
Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT will be performed 1-2 weeks after allogeneic stem cell transplant, and radiographic evidence of mucosal inflammation will be correlated with the subsequent development of acute graft versus host disease. The primary endpoint is the feasibility and safety of contrast-enhanced abdominal CT in the early post-transplant period, as defined by the risk of contrast-related nephropathy or allergic reaction.
The aim of the study is to test the safety and efficacy of BL-8040 (a CXCR4 antagonist) in improving the response to imatinib in CML patients not achieving an optimal response with imatinib alone.
Primary Objective for this study is to evaluate changes in chronic low grade non-hematological adverse events experienced by patients who have been treated with at least 6 months of imatinib and who have not responded to supportive measures, when they are switched to nilotinib (CTCAE grading system).
This phase II trial studies how well cladribine, idarubicin, cytarabine, and venetoclax work in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, or blastic phase chronic myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cladribine, idarubicin, cytarabine, and venetoclax, 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.
This is a 4-stage, non-randomized, open-label, dose escalation and expansion, multicenter study. A cycle of therapy is 21 days. Stage 1 was a dose-escalation stage. During Stages 2-4, patients are treated at the MTD or maximum tested dose at which multiple DLTs are not observed during Stage 1.
In patients with Core Binding Factors Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, the level of Minimal Residual Disease after chemotherapy is predictive of relapse. The relapse risk is also increased in case of mutations of receptors tyrosine kinase. For patients with a high Minimal Residual Disease level at the end of consolidation or in molecular relapse, maintenance by the inhibitor dasatinib is proposed.
