Filter by:The reconstitution of a functioning immune system after allogeneic stem cell transplantation takes months to years. Particularly memory B-lymphocytes reconstitute poorly with the current conditioning regimes. During the period of intense immune suppression the patients are extremely susceptible to bacterial, fungal and, most importantly, viral infections.The adoptive transfer of B-lymphocytes from the stem-cell donor might significantly enhance humoral immunity for the patient. Aim of the study is to evaluate a new cellular therapy with B-lymphocytes regarding safety. A booster vaccination after B-lymphocyte transfer will evaluate the functionality of the transferred B-lymphocytes in the patient.
This phase II trial studies ibrutinib with or without rituximab in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia that has come back after treatment. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether ibrutinib is more effective with or without rituximab in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The purpose of this open-label, multicenter, randomized, Phase III study is to evaluate the benefit of venetoclax in combination with rituximab compared with bendamustine in combination with rituximab in participants with relapsed or refractory CLL. Participants will be randomly assigned in 1:1 ratio to receive either venetoclax + rituximab (Arm A) or bendamustine + rituximab (Arm B).
This phase II trial studies how well anti-cluster of differentiation (CD)19 monoclonal antibody MOR00208 and lenalidomide work in treating patients with relapsed, refractory, or previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, or prolymphocytic leukemia. Monoclonal antibodies, such as anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody MOR00208, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody MOR00208 and lenalidomide may kill more cancer cells.
A Phase 3 clinical trial to examine the efficacy of duvelisib monotherapy versus ofatumumab monotherapy in subjects with relapsed or refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL).
A retrospective analysis of historical data looking at hematological remission and survival in adult relapsed / refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients.
Dose Escalation (MTD Finding) Phase: To investigate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety and pharmacokinetics of different volasertib administration schedules in combination with decitabine in previously untreated AML patients >= 65 years of age who are considered ineligible for standard intensive therapy, or patients with relapsed or refractory AML regardless of prior treatment status. MTD Extension Phase: To collect additional data on safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of volasertib in combination with decitabine in previously untreated patients with AML >= 65 years of age and considered ineligible for standard intensive therapy.
This randomized phase III trial studies combination chemotherapy with blinatumomab to see how well it works compared to induction chemotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed breakpoint cluster region (BCR)-c-abl oncogene 1, non-receptor tyrosine kinase (ABL)-negative B lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without blinatumomab in treating newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The treatment of CML and the expected survival has been revolutionised since the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as nilotinib. Despite their effectiveness, these drugs will never totally remove CML affected cells from the body. In order to achieve this goal, and potentially enable CML patients to live without the daily need for TKIs, other features of the patient's immune system may need to be harnessed. One possibility is using externally administered interferon (IFN) to augment the response induced by the TKI. This study will assess the response in terms of length of survival, detection of minimal disease levels and time until disease worsens in patients with chronic phase CML who are taking nilotinib and pegylated Interferon. Patients will commence taking nilotinib for 3 months, and once tolerated, will simultaneously be treated with injected pegIFN for up to 2 years. Patients can continue taking nilotinib beyond this time providing they are receiving benefit. Options are available for patients to decrease or increase their dose or to switch to another TKI, imatinib, to ensure a balance between drug effectiveness and minimal side effects is achieved.
The primary objective is to evaluate the rate of complete remission/complete remission with partial hematological recovery (CRh*) in adults with relapsed/refractory Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who receive blinatumomab.
