Filter by:This is a single-arm open-label phase I/II study to determine the relative superiority of αCD19-TCRζ-CD28 and αCD19-TCRζ-CD137 CAR-T Cells in safety, efficacy and engraftment potential in patients with CD19+ B-lineage leukemia and lymphoma. Recently, cancer immunotherapy, treatments aiming to arm patients with immunity specifically against cancer cells, has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. Clinical trials utilizing CARs against B cell malignancies have demonstrated remarkable potential. In this trial, all subjects will be competitively infused with αCD19-TCRz-CD28 and αCD19-TCRz-CD137 CAR-T cells in equal number to test a hypothesis that CD137-costimulation can promote the persistence and engraftment of CAR-T cells and this superiority can lead to improved progression-free survival.
This phase IIa trial studies how well guadecitabine works in treating patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome that has returned after a period of improvement after allogeneic stem cell transplant. Guadecitabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving guadecitabine before the transplant may stop this from happening. Once the donated stem cells begin working, the patient's immune system may see the remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them. Giving an infusion of the donor's white blood cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) may boost this effect.
The current understanding of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is that one site of bone marrow (BM) sampling serves as a window that represents all AML cells distributed throughout the BM, an assumption that has yet to be questioned. Simulation in mice led to inconsistent representation of the full BM, which can incorrectly suggest the absence of leukemic cells. Positron-emission tomography (PET) scan can detect areas of high metabolic activity in the body using for instance a radioactive sugar. In one report, its use in human AML has provided proof-of-principle evidence of unequal distribution of AML cells in BM. Accordingly, the alternative hypothesis is to test if PET scan can demonstrate if BM geography can alter AML cells spread and home them as distinct areas rather than uniform spread as if they are distributed in liquid state.
This study will examine the appropriate dose and side effects of dasatinib, when it is given with the standard of care chemotherapy for children and adolescents with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
This study combines two drugs in the treatment of relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Investigators are proposing combining ibrutinib, an orally-administered, small molecule inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (FDA approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory CLL), with pacritinib, a novel JAK2-FLT3 inhibitor that has shown activity in relapsed lymphoma, including CLL/SLL. Investigators will first demonstrate the safety and tolerability of Pacritinib when combined with Ibrutinib in a phase I study, which will help establish the MTD (Maximum Tolerated Dose)of Pacritinib when combined with Ibrutinib. Once the optimal dose of Pacritinib is established in the phase I setting, a phase II evaluation will seek to establish the efficacy of the combination of Pacritinib with Ibrutinib. Patients will receive continuous treatment until progressive disease and will be followed while on study treatment for a total of 2 years.
The purpose of this study are 1. to determine the recommended combination dose of AG-120 and AG-221 separately when administered with azacitidine and, 2. to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the combinations of AG-120 with azacitidine and AG-221 with azacitidine versus with azacitidine alone in participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) enzyme isoforms 1 or 2 mutations, respectively.
The investigators are doing this research study to assess the percentage of patients receiving stem cell transplantation for the type of blood cancer you have. They want to know how many patients get a transplant and why some patients do get a transplant while others do not. Also they want to explore why some patients elect not to undergo stem cell transplantation, when it is recommended by their physicians.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell microtransplantation for in acute myeloid leukemia (AML)patients who can not receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of human cells. The growth of normal human cells is controlled by multiple mechanisms. Panobinostat belongs to a class of chemotherapy drugs called "histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors." HDAC inhibitors like panobinostat block enzymes known as histone deacetylases, which stops cancer cells from dividing and causes them to die. Fludarabine and cytarabine are chemotherapy drugs that are commonly used to treat pediatric patients with refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The purpose of this study is to test the safety of panobinostat and to find the highest dose of panobinostat that can be given safely when it is combined with fludarabine and cytarabine. This pilot study will be done in two parts: The goal of Part 1 of the study is to find the highest tolerable dose of panobinostat that can be given to patients with AML or MDS, when it is combined with fludarabine and cytarabine. Once that dose is determined, participants will be enrolled on Part 2: Dose Expansion, to look at the effect of the panobinostat/fludarabine/cytarabine combination in patients with leukemia/MDS. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: - Determine a tolerable dose of panobinostat when given in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory AML or MDS. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: - Characterize the pharmacokinetics of panobinostat after the first dose and at steady-state. - Estimate the overall response rate to the combination of panobinostat, fludarabine, and cytarabine.
At least one dose level of AMG 176 will achieve acceptable safety and tolerability in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and participants with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
