Filter by:This research study is studying a targeted therapy drug as a possible treatment for IDH2 mutant acute myeloid leukemia or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia while undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The drug involved in this study is: -Enasidenib.
Leukemia cells grow and divide fast and out of control. In normal cells, certain proteins called CDK4 and CDK6 control cell growth. The study drug called palbociclib works by blocking the CDK4 and CDK6 proteins. Palbociclib has been shown to kill leukemia cells in the laboratory and in animal studies. Palbociclib will be added to other chemotherapy drugs, such as dexamethasone, that are known to be effective in treating childhood ALL. This study will be done in two parts: Part 1: Dose Escalation and Part 2: Dose Expansion. The goal of Part 1 of the study is to find the highest tolerable combination of palbociclib and chemotherapy that the investigators can give to patients with leukemia. Once those doses are determined, the investigators will enroll patients on Part 2: Dose Expansion. This phase will enroll additional patients that receive the highest tolerated dose of palbociclib as determined in part 1, in order to better understand the side effects and how effective this treatment approach is. With this research study, the investigators hope to meet the following goals: - To find the highest tolerable dose of palbociclib in combination with chemotherapy that can be given without causing severe side effects; - To learn what kind of side effects palbociclib in combination with chemotherapy may have; and - To learn more about the biology effects of palbociclib on the cells in the participant's body. Up to 40 children, adolescents and young adults will participate in both parts of this study at St. Jude only.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chronic-phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) aimed to avoid CML conversion (AP, BC). Hydroxyurea pulse therapy for chronic-phase CML patients is effective based on the investigator's previous studies, and the scheme cost lower than imatinib. It is not yet known the efficacy compared Hydroxyurea pulse therapy with imatinib for chronic-phase CML, especially to achieve hematological remission in short time. PURPOSE: Non-randomized trial to compare the effectiveness of hydroxyurea pulse therapy with that of imatinib in treating chronic-phase CML patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of sequential overlapping treatment with PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb), pembrolizumab/MK-1375, followed by ibrutinib on endogenous immune function in previously untreated, high-risk CLL patients. Immune function will be evaluated through various laboratory correlative tests.
This phase II trial studies how well venetoclax and ibrutinib work in treating participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and have developed genetic mutations after previously being treated with ibrutinib. Venetoclax and ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to find the appropriate dose of the study drug nintedanib when combined with azacitidine and the associated side effects of the combination in older adults with AML characterized by HOX gene overexpression who are not interested in or not considered fit for standard intensive chemotherapy. The use of the study drug nintedanib in this study is investigational. Investigational means that this medication has not yet been approved by the FDA to treat this type of cancer. Azacitidine received FDA Approval in 2004 for myelodysplastic syndrome (a blood cancer related to AML) and has a National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline recommendation for treatment of older adults who are not candidates for or decline intensive remission induction therapy. We expect participation to continue in this study based on each participant's response to the drug, and ability to tolerate treatment. Participants may continue to receive study treatments for 6 cycles (one cycle is 28 days long). If the 6 cycles of treatment is completed, participants may be moved on to a maintenance phase of treatment. Treatment will continue until the participant's leukemia gets worse, or they experience serious side effects, have a break in treatment for more than 56 days or the study doctor feels it is best for study treatments to stop.
This phase I/II studies the side effects of pembrolizumab and blinatumomab and to see how well they work in treating participants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back or has not responded to the treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab and blinatumomab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
The purpose of this study was to confirm the preliminary evidence from early clinical trials that midostaurin may provide clinical benefit not only to AML patients with the FLT3-mutations but also in FLT3-MN (SR<0.05) AML (FLT3 mutant to wild type signal ratio below the 0.05 clinical cut-off). This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of midostaurin in combination with daunorubicin or idarubicin and cytarabine for induction and intermediate-dose cytarabine for consolidation, and midostaurin single agent post-consolidation therapy in newly diagnosed patients with FLT3-MN (SR<0.05) AML.
This study will evaluate the use of non- TBI (total body irradiation) conditioning for B-ALL patients with low risk of relapse as defined by absence of NGS-MRD (next generation sequencing minimal residual disease) before receiving a hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Patients diagnosed with B-ALL who are candidates for HCT will be screened by NGS-MRD on a test of bone marrow done before the HCT. Subjects who are pre-HCT NGS-MRD negative will be eligible to receive a non-TBI conditioning regimen as part of the treatment cohort of the study. Subjects who are pre-HCT NGS-MRD positive will be treated as per treating center standard and will be followed in an observational cohort (HCT center standard of care).
