Filter by:This study aims at evaluating the efficacy of treatment with ponatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who are in a chronic phase and who previously received treatment with imatinib but resulted to be resistant to it.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of nivolumab and azacitidine with or without ipilimumab when given together and to see how well they work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has not responded to previous treatment or has returned after a period of improvement or is newly diagnosed. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving nivolumab, azacitidine and ipilimumab may kill more cancer cells.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well vaccine therapy works in reducing the frequency of cytomegalovirus severe infections (events) in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Vaccines made from a peptide may help the body build an effective immune response and may reduce cytomegalovirus events after donor stem cell transplant.
A phase II trial of CD3/CD19 depleted, IL-15 activated, donor natural killer (NK) cells in adults and subcutaneous IL-15 given after a preparative regimen for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). The primary objective is to study the potential efficacy of NK cells and IL-15 to achieve complete remission while maintaining safety.
B-precursor ALL is an aggressive malignant disease. Therapy is usually stratified according to risk characteristics to ensure that appropriate treatment is administered to patients with high-risk of relapse. In general, pediatric treatment regimens are more intense than those employed in adults and include courses of combination chemotherapy. Standard of care chemotherapy is associated with considerable toxicity. There is a lack of novel treatment options for subjects who relapse or are refractory to treatment. Therefore, innovative therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Blinatumomab is a bispecific single-chain antibody construct designed to link B cells and T cells resulting in T cell activation and a cytotoxic T cell response against CD19 expressing cells. This study will evaluate the event-free survival (EFS) after treatment with blinatumomab when compared to standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy. The effect of blinatumomab on overall survival and reduction of minimal residual disease compared to SOC chemotherapy will also be investigated.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ONC201 and to see how well it works in treating patients with acute leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). ONC201 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase II trial studies fluorothymidine F 18 (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in measuring response in patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. FLT is a radioactive substance that may "light up" where cancer is in the body. FLT is injected into the blood and builds up in cells that are dividing, including cancer cells. Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/CT, may help measure a patient's response to earlier treatment.
Background: - Some people with cancer have solid tumors. Others have refractory leukemia. This may not go away after treatment. Researchers want to see if a drug called TURALIO(R) can shrink tumors or stop them from growing. Objectives: - To find the highest safe dose and side effects of TURALIO(R). To see if it helps treat certain types of cancer. Eligibility: - People ages 3-35 with a solid tumor or leukemia that has returned or not responded to cancer therapies. Design: - Participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - Blood and urine tests - Heart tests - Scans or other tests of the tumor - Participants will take TURALIO(R) as a capsule once daily for a 28-day cycle. They can do this for up to 2 years. - During the study, participants will have many tests and procedures. They include repeats of the screening tests. Participants will keep a diary of symptoms. - Participants with solid tumors will have scans or x-rays. - Participants with leukemia will have blood tests. They may have a bone marrow sample taken. - Some participants may have a biopsy. - When finished taking TURALIO(R), participants will have follow-up visits. They will repeat the screening tests and note side effects.
This pilot phase I trial studies how well positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fludeoxyglucose F-18 (18F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT), and whole body MRI work in finding extramedullary myeloid leukemia in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Extramedullary myeloid leukemia is a type of cancer found outside of the bone marrow and can be hard to detect with routine bone marrow monitoring, such as bone marrow aspirations. Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/MRI, 18F-FDG PET/CT and whole body MRI, may help find and diagnose extramedullary myeloid leukemia in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.
The primary objective is to describe the effectiveness of dasatinib (Sprycel®) in CML patients in China in the real-world clinical practice setting.
