Filter by:The purpose of the study is to explore the safety and efficacy of CLT-008 as an extra supportive care measure after induction chemotherapy for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of romidepsin and lenalidomide when combined with rituximab and to see how well this combination works in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned (recurrent) or did not respond to treatment (refractory). Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Romidepsin and lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving rituximab together with romidepsin and lenalidomide may be a better treatment for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of immune cells called natural killer (NK) cells that can be given with chemotherapy to patients with CLL. Researchers want to learn if adding NK cells will be effective in treating the disease. The safety of this will also be studied. NK cells may kill cancer cells that remain in your body after your last chemotherapy treatment. The NK cells will be separated from umbilical cord blood. The device used in the laboratory to separate the NK cells is called a CliniMACS. These separated NK cells will then be grown in the lab to increase the number of NK cells that can be given to you by vein. This is an investigational study. Rituximab, fludarabine, and cyclophosphamide are FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of CLL. Cytarabine, filgrastim, and lenalidomide are FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of other types of cancer. The use of cytarabine, filgrastim, and lenalidomide for the treatment of CLL is investigational. The use of NK cells is investigational. The NK cell process is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. Up to 44 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Parallel Assignment This study is an open randomized and controlled trial aiming at assessing the efficacy and safety of Idarubicin (IDA) at different doses of 8mg/m2 and 10mg/m2 combined with cytarabine as induction therapy for newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). All the recruited patients are allocated to group A ( 8mg/m2 group) or group B ( 10mg/m2) in random. It is advised that induction therapy should begain not late than 3 days after randomization. The regimens in detail can be refered in the therapy protocol.
Application of a therapeutic platelet transfusion Regimen in patients with acute myeloid leukemia in complete Remission (consolidation therapy)
This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works in eliminating any remaining cancer cells and preventing cancer from returning in patients with acute myeloid leukemia that had a decrease in or disappearance of signs and symptoms of cancer after receiving chemotherapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if researchers can successfully and safely give patients who have had a stem cell transplant an infusion of white blood cells (called T-cells) that have been collected from an unrelated person, and that have been genetically changed. The process of changing the DNA (genetic material) of these T-cells is called "gene transfer." The gene transfer involves drawing blood from an unrelated donor, separating out T cells using a machine, changing the cells' DNA in the laboratory, and returning the genetically changed cells back to the body. T-cells are a type of white blood cell that fight infection. The type of gene transfer being used in this study is designed to help your T-cells to better fight cancer by targeting a chemical marker that is found on certain cancer cells. Researchers want to learn if these genetically-changed T-cells can help to control B-cell leukemia or lymphoma after a stem cell transplant. Researchers want to find out the highest tolerable dose of these T-cells that can be given to patients with relapsed leukemia or lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to document the pharmacological treatment strategies used in treatment naïve and previously treated relapsed/refractory iNHL/CLL patients in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region. This study will also record encountered tumor subtype and stage and the instituted pharmacological treatments, as well as assess the clinical outcomes of treatments.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a diverse disease that is fatal in the majority of patients. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) however, a subtype of AML accounting for 5% of all cases, is very curable. APL cells are highly sensitive to the retinoid all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), which effectively differentiates the leukemic clone. Over 80% of APL patients can be cured with ATRA based therapies. For patients with non-APL AML, ATRA has little effect. Consequently, 85% of these patients will succumb to their disease despite conventional approaches. Little is known about mechanisms of resistance to ATRA in non-APL AML. This knowledge gap limits the use of ATRA in a disease that already has few effective therapies. The investigators' preliminary data suggest that non-APL AML cells can be re-sensitized to ATRA when combined with lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD 1) inhibitors. The investigators' publication in Nature Medicine showed that LSD1 inhibition with tranylcypromine (TCP), unlocked the ATRA-driven therapeutic response in non-APL AML. Notably, treatment with ATRA and TCP markedly diminished the engraftment of primary human AML cells in murine models, indicating that the combination may target leukemia-initiating cells (LIC). The investigators' data identify LSD1 as a therapeutic target and strongly suggest that it may contribute to ATRA resistance in non-APL AML. The investigators' central hypothesis is that ATRA combined with TCP will be safe and effective in a clinical population, and that this approach will suppress LICs and restore myeloid differentiation programs in patients with non-APL AML. Testing this hypothesis with the phase I clinical trial outlined in this protocol, will establish a new treatment paradigm in AML and extend the important anti-cancer effects of ATRA to all AML subtypes.
The extension study followed the core study CAMN107ECN02 (NCT01275196). which is an open-label, two armed study. All patients enrolled in this extension study were able to benefit from the treatment given in CAMN107ECN02 per investigator's evaluation. Therefore, in this extension study patient continued treatment of the drug (imatinib or nilotinib) which they were taking at the end of CAMN107ECN02. Treatment arms in CAMN107ECN02 were retained. As long as EC approval and agreement from investigators were obtained, the selected sites for CAMN107ECN02 were applied in this extension study.
