Filter by:Advances in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) therapy led to an expected survival prolongation of > 20 years after diagnosis. So far, discontinuation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors led to recurrence of disease in the majority of patients. The trial aims to improve treatment strategies in CML by improving induction therapy and deescalating maintenance therapy using low dose IFN as inducer of immunosurveillance. The trial will provide important data on the duration of active therapy in CML patients. Considering the rapidly increasing prevalence of CML this is of individual but also socioeconomic importance.
This laboratory study is looking into biomarkers in samples from younger patients with acute myeloid leukemia. 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
This laboratory study is looking into genes in samples from younger patients with acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL). Studying samples of blood, tissue, and bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in RNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer
This multi-center, open-label study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of RO5429083 alone and in combination with cytarabine in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia. In Part A, patients will receive multiple escalating doses of RO5429083 intravenously. In Part B, patients will receive RO5429083 plus up to 4 cycles of cytarabine (1000 mg/m2 iv daily for 5 consecutive days). Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
This multi-center, open-label, Phase 1b study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of RO5045337 in combination with cytarabine in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia. In Arm A, cohorts of previously untreated patients deemed unsuitable for standard induction therapy will receive escalating oral doses of RO5045377 and cytarabine 20 mg/m2 subcutaneously daily for Days 1 to 10 of each 28-day cycle. In Arm B, cohorts of patients who have relapsed or are refractory after at least one cytarabine/anthracycline containing regimen will receive escalating oral doses of RO5045377 on Days 1 to 5 and cytarabine 1 gm/m2 intravenously on Days 1 to 6 of each 28-day cycle. Patients will receive up to 4 cycles of therapy, patients in Arm A who achieve hematologic response may continue additional cycles until disease progression.
This is a phase I single center dose escalation study with an extension at the best available dose to determine the tolerability of inducible regulatory T cells (iTregs) when given to adult patients undergoing non-myeloablative HLA-identical sibling donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation for the treatment of a high risk malignancy. Up to 5 dose cohorts will be tested. Once the tolerable dose is determined for iTregs, enrollment will continue with an additional 10 patients using sirolimus/Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis to gain further safety information and to provide pilot data in this treatment setting.
This is a first in human, prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, dose-escalation study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of repeat doses of CSL362.
Background: - Several types of blood cancer are associated with poor outcomes including high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Many people with MDS, CMML, and AML are not candidates for standard treatments. New types of treatment are needed for these cancers. - Clofarabine and lenalidomide are anticancer drugs. The first damages cancer cells in the body. The second can alter blood supply to abnormal cells or affect how the immune system attacks these cells. These drugs have been previously tested as treatments for MDS and leukemia. However, they have not been tried as a combination for MDS, CMML, and AML. Researchers want to see if these drugs are safe and effective for these types of cancer. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of clofarabine and lenalidomide for people with high-risk MDS, CMML, and AML. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have high-risk MDS, CMML, and AML. - Participants must not be candidates for standard treatments. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and bone marrow samples will be collected. - Participants will have 5 days of treatment with clofarabine. It will be given through a vein during an inpatient hospital stay. If there are no serious side effects after the infusion, participants will continue treatment as outpatients. - After 28 days, participants will have a bone marrow biopsy to check their response to treatment. - After the biopsy, participants will start lenalidomide treatment. Half of the participants will take the drug for 28 days (one treatment cycle). The other half will take it for 56 days (two cycles). More blood tests and biopsies will be used to monitor treatment. - If there are no serious side effects and the disease does not become worse, participants may keep taking lenalidomide at lower doses for up to 12 more cycles.
WT1 TCR gene therapy is a new treatment for acute myeloid leukaemia and chronic myeloid leukaemia. Patient's white blood cells (T cells) are modified to specifically fight the leukaemia cells by transferring a gene into the T cells, which allows them to recognize fragments of a protein called WT1. This protein is present on the surface of leukaemia cells at very high levels. The gene transferred to the T cells enables them to make a new T cell receptor (TCR), which will allow them to attack leukaemia cells with high levels of WT1 on their surface. Using this form of gene therapy the investigators can convert some of the patient's immune system's own T cells into T cells that the investigators hope will be much more effective at recognizing and killing leukaemia cells.
This is a multicentre, open-label, randomised phase II trial comparing azacitidine monotherapy with combined azacitidine and vorinostat in patients with newly diagnosed, relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukaemia or high risk myelodysplastic syndromes ineligible for intensive chemotherapy.
