The technology-assisted in-home oncology care program includes remote patient monitoring (RPM), telemedicine, and home-based health care services.
The purpose of this prospective, open-label, single-center study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VEN-AZA (venetoclax and azacytidine) followed by modified BUCY (busulfan and cyclophosphamide) as conditioning regimen for high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and high-risk or relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
This research is being done to learn whether drug called itacitinib, which is a novel inflammation- and immune-lowering drug (immunosuppressant), can be given before and after non-myeloablative peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT; also known as a 'mini' transplant) to help prevent certain complications such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) for patients with blood cancers, using peripheral blood from a relative. The investigators will also examine if by using itacitinib the investigators can reduce the duration of MMF (other immune suppressive drug administration posttransplant).
This is an open-label, single arm study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with CT0594CP CAR-T Cells in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma or Plasma Cell Leukemia
This study is a First In Human, phase 1, open-label, non-randomized, multi-center, multiple ascending dose escalation study evaluating AFM28 as a monotherapy in subjects with Relapsed/Refractory CD123-positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). AFM28 is a tetravalent monoclonal antibody targeting the interleukin-3 receptor subunit alpha (IL3RA, CD123) and the low affinity immunoglobulin gamma Fc region receptor III-A (FCGR3A, CD16A). It is developed as an antineoplastic agent for hematologic malignancies known to express CD123. The primary pharmacological Mode of Action of AFM28 is induction of cell death of CD123-expressing cells by stimulating Antibody-Dependent Cell-mediated Cytotoxicity mediated by CD16A-expressing immune cells, primarily Natural Killer cells. The aim of the dose escalation is to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and/or establish one or more Recommended Phase 2 Doses, based on safety, preliminary anti-leukemic activity and Pharmacokinetics / Pharmacodynamics data.
Therapeutic success in childhood ALL reaches an outstanding success that currently relies upon risk stratification of patients with appropriate modulation of chemotherapy intensity based on underlying blasts' biological and molecular characteristics, and depth of initial treatment response. ALL polychemotherapeutic approaches share similar therapeutic scheme, with more intensive and toxic earlier phases (about 6 months) followed by a prolonged immunosuppressive regimen for maintenance (about 18 months). Protocols comprise glucocorticoids, antimetabolites, asparaginase, alkylating agents, antimitotic drugs antibiotics and, in case of Philadelphia positive ALL, anti-tyrosine kinase inhibitors combined together at different dosages and timing according to the patient's class of risk. ALL chemotherapeutic agents can damage nearly all organs. Some adverse reactions are extensions of the drugs' desired pharmacological effects on bone marrow and affect almost all children. Other adverse effects occur unpredictably in a smaller fraction of patients who, for unknown reasons, are more susceptible. Concerns about chemotherapy-related toxicities generated a significant need of finding predictive markers for the a priori identification of at-risk patients. Pharmacogenomics markers can be useful tools in clinics for tailoring therapy intensity on patients' genetic profile and in basic research for better understanding mechanistic and regulatory pathways of the biological functions associated with ALL treatment toxicities. Several genome wide association studies explored the landscape of ALL treatment-associated toxicities, discovering the contribution of important variants. Among these, TPMT single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have a well-recognized role in thiopurine-induced myelotoxicity. SNP rs924607 (C>T) in the promoter region of the gene encoding for the centrosomal protein 72 (CEP72) was associated with increased risk and severity of vincristine-related peripheral neuropathy. The aim of this study is to perform a GWAS in ALL children to provide insight into genetic loci affecting the occurrence of severe (grade III-V) vincristine-related peripheral neuropathy during induction therapy in the AIEOP protocols.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematological malignancy in children (<18 years). The success of pediatric ALL therapy is remarkable but important challenges still need to be faced, including cure rates in specific patients' subsets (e.g.: adolescents and relapsed patients), and short- and long-term chemotherapy-related toxicities. The therapeutic scheme of the Associazione Italiana Emato-oncologia pediatrica (AIEOP) ALL protocols consists in a more intensive and toxic earlier phase (to induce and consolidate remission, about 6 months), followed by a prolonged period of immunosuppression (achieved by self- or parent-administered daily mercaptopurine (MP) and weekly methotrexate (MTX) per os). It is now well established that the length of the maintenance phase (up to 24 months after diagnosis) is as necessary as the early remission induction for sustained event-free survival (EFS). Both MP and MTX can lead to potentially serious complications, including potentially life-threatening myelosuppression and infections. To exert its therapeutic effect, MP requires an intracellular enzymatic conversion into active thionucleotides (TGN) and is thus susceptible to intra- and inter-individual variations in efficacy and toxicity. Patients carrying variants in TPMT and NUTD15 genes are at risk of adverse effects when treated with standard MP doses: these patients are identifiable by pre-emptive genotyping. Recent studies demonstrated that an adequate and constant MP exposure during maintenance is associated with higher therapeutic success. Prescribed MP doses are often changed by physicians to target a white blood cell count (WBC) range of 2.0-3.0 × 109/L during maintenance. In the AIEOP ALL 2009 protocol, patients with lower mean TGN exposure during maintenance showed a trend towards a higher risk of relapse compared to others. Similarly, patients with higher intra-individual variability in TGN over time showed a trend towards a worse outcome. Daily compliance to prescribed MP over time is a challenging issue for patients and may result in less effective therapy. The high intra-individual variability in exposure due to the frequent dose adjustments and the potential lack of patients' adherence to oral MP therapy over time might contribute to the risk of relapse. The aim of this study is to assess through therapeutic drug monitoring of MP if patients' exposure during maintenance is adequate and constant.
A prospective observational study of pediatric and young adult acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) patients treated with CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T cells). The study will examine changes in CAR-T persistence over time and causal factors.
The purpose of this prospective, open-label, single-center study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VEN-AZA (venetoclax and azacytidine) followed by modified BUCY (busulfan and cyclophosphamide) as conditioning regimen for high-risk or relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
The leukaemias are a heterogeneous group of blood cancers, Acute leukaemia (AL) is caused by malignant proliferation of blood cells arrested at an immature stage of development, They are very aggressive diseases that run a rapidly fatal course if not promptly diagnosed and appropriately treated. Misdiagnosis is very common with delay in diagnosis and prompt treatment being the causes of high morbidity and mortality in acute leukaemias. Although with the continuous improvement of clinical and laboratory diagnosis and treatment methods, the prognosis of AML has been significantly improved, but there are still about 70% of patients who cannot survive more than 5 years after diagnosis The activity of miRNAs in tumors is regulated by the same alterations affecting protein-coding genes, such as chromosomal rearrangements, genomic amplifications or deletions or mutations, abnormal transcriptional control, dysregulation of epigenetic changes and defects in the biogenesis machinery A typical chromosomal rearrangement is a chromosomal translocation, especially in hematological malignancies, in which it promotes tumor development and progression by the promoter exchange or by the creation of chimeric genes translated as fusion proteins. In Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients with myeloid/lymphoid leukemia gene (or mixed-lineage leukemia, MLL) rearrangement, by large-scale genome-wide microarray analysis, it was demonstrated that among 48 selected miRNAs, 47 of them are increased
