Filter by:This is an open label feasibility pilot study of commercially available physical activity monitoring devices in patients receiving systemic therapy at the Harold Simmons Cancer Center, UT Southwestern Medical Center.
The study is designed as a multicenter, prospective, observational registry of CLL/SLL patients who are initiating approved oral kinase inhibitors, BCL-2 inhibitors or other approved anti-CLL therapies/regimens. The study will characterize treatment patterns and their association with patient characteristics, healthcare resource utilization, and clinical outcomes, as well as patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures.
This research study is evaluating drugs called Millennium 9708 (referred to as MLN9708) in combination with standard therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) consisting of daunorubicin and cytarabine as a possible treatment for the patient AML.
This is a retrospective observational study aimed at describing the characteristics and outcome of CLL patients included in the NPP in Italy in a period of time ranging from the start of the NPP until November, 30th 2014. A longitudinal survey will be carried out by collecting data of patients who received at least 1 dose of Ibrutinib. All patients will be observed for at least 12 months from the treatment start.
This research trial studies metabolic changes in blood samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Studying samples of blood from patients with acute myeloid leukemia in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer and the development of drug resistance.
This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a reduced intensity allogeneic HSCT from partially HLA-mismatched first-degree relatives utilizing PBSC as the stem cell source. The primary objective of the study is to estimate the incidence of graft rejection and acute GVHD. A secondary objective will be to estimate the incidence of the relapse, NRM, OS, chronic GVHD and EFS.
Previous work performed by University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center (UNMCCC) investigators has revealed previously unknown genomic mutations in children, adolescents, and young adults with high-risk B and T cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Using genomic and next generation DNA sequencing technologies, these investigators revealed that 14% of children with high-risk ALL have "Philadelphia chromosome-like" ("Ph-like") ALL. Patients with this form of ALL were found to have a significantly increased risk of treatment failure and death. Further work revealed that there are more than 40 distinct gene rearrangements and fusions that can result in Ph-like ALL. Cell lines and human leukemic cells expressing some of these different gene fusions were sensitive to currently available drugs. This suggests that Ph-like ALL patients with these specific distinct gene fusions should be targeted in future clinical trials to be treated with appropriate therapy. Further work is also needed to identify other potentially targetable genetic alterations in ALL patients. Therefore, the goal of this study is to perform genomic screening of all newly diagnosed ALL patients seen at UNM and to use this information to enroll patients onto available National Clinical Trial Network (NCTN) clinical trials. If an appropriate NCTN trial is not available, best clinical management will be pursued.
Objectives of this clinical trial are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and potential efficacy of the investigational drug, cobomarsen (MRG-106), in patients diagnosed with certain lymphomas and leukemias, including cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) [mycosis fungoides (MF) subtype], chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) [activated B-cell (ABC) subtype], and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). Cobomarsen is an inhibitor of a molecule called miR-155 that is found at high levels in these types of cancers and may be important in promoting the growth and survival of the cancer cells. Participants in the clinical trial will receive weekly doses of cobomarsen administered by injection under the skin or into a vein, or by injection directly into cancerous lesions in the skin (for CTCL only). Blood samples will be collected to measure how cobomarsen is processed by the body, and other measurements will be performed to study how normal and cancerous cells of the immune system respond when exposed to cobomarsen.
The treatment options for high-risk acute leukemia patients are limited and these patients are often opt for hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). However studies show that prognosis following this last-resort therapy is bleak. At times, less than 70% of post-HSCT relapsed AML and ALL patients even achieve complete remission; median overall survival of these cohorts might not reach one year; and 3-year post-HSCT survival rates might be less than 20%. The investigators plan to recruit acute leukemia patients from CMUH which are planned to receive HSCT, and follow the rate and quality of their immune reconstitution. As intervention, part of the patients will receive a Chinese medicine herbal formula, which they will take for 6 months.Differences between the 1-year post-HSCT condition of patients will be examined.
In this phase I study, escalating doses of IXAZOMIB will be combined with the POMP/D regimen.
