Filter by:Evaluate the effect of the addition of inecalcitol to decitabine treatment on overall survival in previously untreated AML patients aged 65 years or more who are randomly assigned to receive decitabine with or without inecalcitol.
Ibrutinib is currently FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of CLL. However, some researchers think the approved dose may be unnecessarily high. The goal of this clinical research study is to compare 3 different daily doses of ibrutinib to learn how these doses affect the disease and your body. Researchers think that if a lower dose of ibrutinib can be found to be as effective as the currently approved dose this may help to lower the risk of side effects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficiency of allogeneic cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19)-directed chimeric antigen receptor modified T cells (CART-19) infusions in patients with relapsed / refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL)
Several groups have demonstrated very low incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in haploidentical, unrelated and related allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Nonetheless for majority of the grafts, except for 10/10 HLA-matched bone marrow, with this type of prophylaxis require concomitant administration of calcineurin inhibitors±MMF, which delays immune reconstitution and development of graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. So, despite reduction of transplant-related mortality, use of PTCy doesn't lead to the reduction of relapse incidence. This is particularly important for relapsed or refractory acute leukemia patients, where, despite all efforts to intensify conditioning regimens, relapses after SCT occur in more than 50% of patients, and long-term survival rarely exceeds 10-20%. In preclinical model of haploidentical SCT the substitution of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide with bendamustine, led to comparable GVHD control, but significantly augmented GVL effect. To test this hypothesis and improve the outcome of allogeneic SCT in refractory acute leukemia patients we initiated a pilot trial with high-dose post-transplantation bendamustine for GVHD prophylaxis. The selection of doses is based on the previous dose-escalation studies. Additional immunosuppression could be added for mismatched grafts.
The purpose of this study is to identify patients at risk for future heart failure using novel markers of early cardiac damage and determine if exercise training can improve these emerging markers as well as overall fitness and quality of life.
The purpose of Phase I of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of the investigational drug, OTS167, and that of Phase II of this study is to confirm the potential response benefit of OTS167. OTS167 is a maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) inhibitor which demonstrated antitumor properties in laboratory tests. It is being developed as an anti-cancer drug. In this study OTS167 will be administrated to patients with AML, ALL, advanced MDSs, advanced MPNs, or advanced CML.
This study is evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of BGB-3111 in combination with BGB-A317 in participants with B-cell lymphoid malignancies.
This is a multi-center, single arm Phase II study of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) using human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched unrelated bone marrow transplantation donors and post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy), sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in patients with hematologic malignancies.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of wee1 kinase inhibitor AZD1775 when given together with fludarabine, cytarabine, and filgrastim (FLAG) combination chemotherapy in treating children, adolescents and young adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Wee1 kinase inhibitor AZD1775 may help combination chemotherapy work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and cytarabine, may prevent tumor cells from multiplying by damaging their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which in turn stops the tumor from growing. Giving wee1 kinase inhibitor AZD1775 and FLAG chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
This study seeks to examine treatment therapy that will reduced regimen-related toxicity and relapse while promoting rapid immune reconstitution with limited serious graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) and also improve disease-free survival and quality of life. The investigators propose to evaluate the safety and efficacy of selective naive T-cell depleted (by TCRɑβ and CD45RA depletion, respectively) haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) following reduced intensity conditioning regimen that avoids radiation in patients with hematologic malignancies that have relapsed or are refractory following prior allogeneic transplantation. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: - To estimate engraftment by day +30 post-transplant in patients who receive TCRɑβ-depleted and CD45RA-depleted haploidentical donor progenitor cell transplantation following reduced intensity conditioning regimen without radiation. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: - Assess the safety and feasibility of the addition of Blinatumomab in the early post-engraftment period in patients with CD19+ malignancy. - Estimate the incidence of malignant relapse, event-free survival, and overall survival at one-year post-transplantation. - Estimate incidence and severity of acute and chronic (GVHD). - Estimate the rate of transplant related mortality (TRM) in the first 100 days after transplantation.
