Filter by:Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin/Mylotarg® (GO) is a conjugate of a derivative of calicheamicin a potent antitumor anthracycline antibiotic linked to a recombinant humanized antibody against the CD33 antigen. Pivotal phase 2 study in relapsed AML adult patients used GO 9 mg/m2 as a monotherapy on days 1 and 14, and showed a 30% response rate with half CR and CRp (CR with incomplete platelets recovery). Four randomized studies, 3 in adults and 1 in children, performed in patients with non-previously treated AML tested the addition of lower doses of GO ( 3mg or 6 mg/m2) to standard induction chemotherapy and showed benefit on survival endpoints. Results from these studies were available in 2011 in adults and 2014 in children. In 2010 the french health agency (ANSM) opened a compassionate patient named program (authorization for temporary utilization (ATU) program) of GO in relapsed/refractory AML patients. Patients were orally informed about the status of the GO. From 2010 to 2012 it was recommended to use GO as a monotherapy at a dose of 9mg/m2 on days 1 and 14 according to the protocol used in pivotal phase 2 study. After 2012 it was recommended by the health authority to use GO at the dose of 3 or 6 mg/m2 in addition to chemotherapy regarding the toxicity of higher dose given once. From 2010 to 2015 more than 500 AML patients have been included in this ATU program. The main objective of the study presented here is to assess the efficacy and safety of GO 3 or 6 mg/m2 (single dose or fractionated GO) given in as treatment of relapsed/refractory AML in adult patients. The coordinator choose to collect the data from centers that included 10 patients or more from January 2012 to December 2015. This represents approximately 420 patients from 33 hematology departments.
To evaluate the outcome of a prednisolone and low dose methotrexate based protocol in Down syndrome children with ALL (DS-ALL) in an Asia-wide study. The treatment protocol was modified based upon backbone of Taiwan Pediatric Oncology Group (TPOG)-ALL protocol in which risk classification will be guided by level of flow minimal residual disease (MRD) instead.
This research study is studying a drug that may help decrease the chances of relapse after Allogeneic Stem Cell transplantation for Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The name of the study drug involved in this study is: • Ruxolitinib
This is a single arm, open-label, Phase 1b study of pembrolizumab for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) whose disease has relapsed after receiving allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplant.
The treatment of older patients with acute myeloid leukemia that is secondary to previous myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative neoplasm, or prior cytotoxic exposure remains unsatisfactory. We compared patients treated with intensive chemotherapy or azacitidine within two centres.
1. Detect the expression of marker CD56 and CD11b in newly diagnosed cases of adult AML. 2. Study correlation between CD56 and CD11b expression with haematological parameters in cases of adult AML.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well preventive education works in decreasing caries formation in pediatric patients with leukemia. Prevention education may have an effect on factors important in causing cavities in pediatric patients with leukemia.
The major aim of this research is to assess the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of CD19 CAR-T Cell Therapy for Relapsed/ Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia/ B cell Lymphoma patients who have applied it.
Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) is the most frequent of myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative syndromes, as defined by the WHO classification of myeloid malignancies. The median age at diagnosis is around 70 years with a strong male predominance. CMML is a clonal disease of the bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell mainly characterized by persistent monocytosis (>1x109/L) and the presence of immature dysplastic granulocytes in the peripheral blood of CMML patients. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains the only curative option in CMML. However, CMML patients are rarely eligible for this kind of therapy, mainly due to their advanced age. The gold standard treatment of CMML thus remains hydroxyurea, which is usually initiated when the disease becomes proliferative, and demethylating agents, which could be efficient in the most aggressive forms of CMML. Nevertheless, the pathogenesis of CMML remains poorly understood and new therapies are urgently needed for patients in treatment failure. In recent years, a large numbers of gene mutations have been discovered in CMML, none of which are specific of this entity, as they can be encountered with different frequencies in other myeloid neoplasms. These mutated genes encode signaling molecules (NRAS, KRAS, CBL, JAK2, FLT3 and several members of the Notch pathway), epigenetic regulators (TET2, ASXL1, EZH2, IDH1, IDH2,.) and splicing factors (SF3B1, SRSF2, ZRSF2). Mutations in the transcription regulators RUNX1, NPM1 and TP53 have also been reported in CMML. However, the role of these mutations in leukemogenesis is still unclear. CMML is also characterized by defects in monocyte to macrophage differentiation. These defects in monocyte differentiation can be attributed to the presence of immature dysplastic granulocytes that secrete high levels of alpha-defensins HNP1-3 that antagonize the purinergic receptor P2RY6 in CMML patients. These CD14-/CD15+/CD24+ immature granulocytes that belong to the same clone than the leukemic monocytes seem to have immunosuppressive properties ressembling those of the myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDCS) described in solid tumours. Whether these immature granulocytes contribute to autoimmune manifestations or immunoescape and progression of CMML is a conendrum and remains to be determined. In this context, the proposed project aims at identifying news insights into the pathophysiology of CMML through a better definition of the phenotype and function of monocytes and immature granulocytes that characterize this pathology.
Based on the promising results obtained with ibrutinib as single agent, the results obtained with ibrutinib in combination with ofatumumab in a previous phase I/IIb study (Jaglowski 2015), and since data from in vitro studies do not support a synergistic effect of the combination of ibrutinib and anti-CD20 mAbs, we propose a chemotherapy-free combined strategy based on ibrutinib monotherapy as front line treatment for patients with CLL, with the addition of a consolidation phase with ofatumumab in patients not attaining CR under ibrutinib in order to improve the quality of their response. Since median time to CR with ibrutinib was nearly 12 months, patients will be evaluated at this time point, and those patients not in CR will add consolidated treatment with Ofatumumab. Thus, this multi-center, non-randomized phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib alone or in combination with Ofatumumab in patients no attaining CR under ibrutinib as front-line therapy for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
