Filter by:Patients enrolled from each center according to confirmed criteria specified in cooperative scheme are randomly assigned to standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy with microtransplantation (MST-group)or without (CT-group).Compare the remission rate and 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival(OS) rate of the two groups.
To investigate safety, tolerability of cafusertib combination with low dose cytarabine (LD-Ara-C) in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory AML that are not eligible for conventional or intensive treatment. The dose of cafusertib will be escalated to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cafusertib in combination with LD-Ara-C in AML patients. At the same time, pharmacokinetic characteristics and preliminary efficacy of cafusertib will be observed in AML patients. To determine the recommended dosage regimen for phase II.
The trial will test the effectiveness and toxicity of subcutaneous treatment with one cycle of cladribine in patients with hairy cell leukemia requiring treatment. They have to be untreated so far or may be pretreated with alpha-interferon.
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.
A novel method has been developed to expand natural (NK) cells and enhance their cytotoxicity against cancer cells while maintaining low killing capacity against non-transformed cells. In this method, donor NK cells are expanded by co-culture with the irradiated K562 cell line modified to express membrane bound IL-15 and 41BB ligand (K562-mb15-41BBL). Expression of these proteins in conjunction with unknown stimuli provided by K562 cells promotes selective growth of NK cells. Then, the expanded NK cell population is depleted of T cells to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD). Expanded and activated NK cells showed powerful anti-leukemic activity against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells in vitro and in animal models of leukemia.Unpublished laboratory results also demonstrated that T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) is extremely sensitive to the cytotoxicity exerted by the expanded and activated NK cells. The present study represents the translation of the laboratory findings into clinical application. The study proposes to determine the feasibility, safety and efficacy of infusing expanded NK cells into patients who have AML or T-lineage ALL which is resistant to standard therapy as demonstrated by persistent minimal residual disease (MRD). Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), who are at high risk to develop AML will also be eligible for the study. In this patient cohort, the study will also investigate the in vivo lifespan and phenotype of the expanded NK cells. The main hypothesis to be tested in this study is that infusion of expanded activated NK cells can produce measurable clinical responses in patients with AML or T-ALL.
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 phase II trial studies the safety and efficacy of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) in combination with two chemotherapy drugs, etoposide and cyclophosphamide, as a preparative regimen before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with high-risk acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have failed previous therapy. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) uses imaging to provide a three-dimensional view of the area to be irradiated. Doctors can then shape and direct the radiation beams at the area from multiple directions while avoiding, as much as possible, nearby organs. TMLI is a method of using IMRT to direct radiation to the bone marrow. Radiation therapy is given before transplant to suppress the immune system, prevent rejection of the transplanted cells, and wipe out any remaining cancer cells. TMLI may allow a greater radiation dose to be delivered to the bone marrow as a preparative regimen before transplant while causing fewer side effects than standard radiation therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether vincristine sulfate liposome could reduce less peripheral neuropathy than vincristine sulfate,and be as effective as vincristine sulfate in adults with Naïve Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
To determine, compared with Daunorubicin(DNR), whether Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) inducing higher complete remission (CR) rate, in untreated primary ALL adult patients with VDCLD regimen induction therapy. Second, to determine, compared with the DNR, whether chemotherapy containing PLD with a higher response rates and greater safety in adult ALL
A multicentre, prospective, open-label clinical study, including a randomized controlled study in low or intermediate-risk group patients, and a cohort study of maintenance treatment with decitabine after ASCT.
