This is a single-arm, open-label study of sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib with MRD-driven treatment duration in patients with previously untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL). The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of MRD-guided zanubrutinib plus sonrotoclax for first-line CLL/SLL treatment.
This study is a Phase II, single-arm, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ssCART-19 Cell Injection in the treatment of patients with CD19 positive Relapsed or Refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia, including central nervous system infiltration.
Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are blood cancers that affect certain white blood cells. Advanced forms of these diseases are difficult to treat. CD19 is a protein often found on the surfaces of these cancer cells. Researchers can modify a person's own immune cells (T cells) to target CD19. When these modified T cells are returned to the body-a treatment called anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy-they may help kill cancer cells. Objective: To test anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy in people with CLL or SLL. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with CLL or SLL that has not been controlled with standard drugs. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart function. If a sample of tissue from their tumor is not available, a new one may be taken; the sample will be tested for CD19. Participants will receive a drug to reduce the leukemia cells in their blood. Then they will undergo apheresis: Blood will be taken from the body through a needle. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the T cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different needle. The collected T cells will be gene edited to make them attack cells with CD19. Participants will take drugs to prepare them for treatment for 3 days. These drugs will start 5 days before the treatment. Then their own modified CAR T cells will be returned to their bloodstream. Participants will stay in the hospital for at least 9 days after the treatment. Follow-up visits will continue for 5 years.
This is a biological study. Patients who are eligible to receive Shingrix through the Italian National Health System will be invited to participate in the study. According to AIFA indication, the two doses of vaccine will be administered 4-8 weeks apart. Blood samples will be collected prior to the first vaccine dose (i.e. within the time frame of 3 months prior to the first dose) and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after the second vaccine dose to evaluate the serological response of Shingrix.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of iadademstat when given together with azacitidine and venetoclax in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Iadademstat inhibits the LSD1 protein and may lead to inhibition of cell growth in LSD1-overexpressing cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, 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. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving iadademstat with azacitidine and venetoclax may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with newly diagnosed AML who cannot undergo intensive chemotherapy.
CXCR4 inhibition may represent a new therapeutic strategy in acute leukemia (AL) patients, not only by increasing chemosensitivity but also by preventing relapse of the disease by disruption of the interaction of residual leukemic cells with the bone marrow niche. Radiolabeled CXCR4 ligands have been developed for PET imaging (68Ga-PentixaFor; INN: Gallium (68Ga) boclatixafortide) and radioligand therapy (RLT) ([177Lu]Lu-PentixaTher/[90Y]Y-PentixaTher). [177Lu]Lu and [90Y]Y-PentixaTher have been tested in three multiple myeloma patients in named-patient use with a remarkable efficacy in 2 patients (Herrmann, 2016). Moreover, feasibility of CXCR4 PET imaging in AML was reported, providing a framework for future theranostic approaches targeting the CXCR4/CXCL12-defined leukemia-initiating cell niche (Herhaus, 2016). Here a Phase I/II study to determine maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of a RLT using [177Lu]Lu-PentixaTher in relapsed/refractory AL was designed. This will be a standard phase I/II 3+3 dose escalation study. Five dose levels will be tested, so 6 to 21 patients have to be included in the study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the ability to restore gut microbiota to healthier levels in patients with blood cancers scheduled to have stem cell transplant. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Tolerability and acceptability of intestinal microbiota transplantation (IMT) versus placebo (as assessed via patient perspective questionnaires - Changes in gut microbiome diversity across all timepoints - Markers of general health, infective/microbiological and haematological outcomes including, days of fever, admission to intensive care unit, survival, non-relapsed mortality, and incidence of graft-versus-host disease across all time points measured. Participants will be asked at their routine follow up visits to, - Provide stool, urine and blood samples at the scheduled study visits - Complete questionnaires at selected visits - Swallow either Placebo or IMT capsules once at the second study visit which will occur 2 weeks prior to the stem cell transplant (+/-3 days) Researchers will compare IMT capsules and Placebo to investigate the change in gut microbiota diversity.
This is a single-arm, single-dose dose-escalation and dose-expansion study.
This study is for patients that have lymph gland disease called Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or T/NK-lymphoproliferative disease and the patients condition has come back or has not gone away after treatment, including the best treatment we know for these diseases. Some patients with Lymphoma or T/NK-lymphoproliferative disease show signs of virus that is sometimes called Epstein Barr virus (EBV). This virus causes mononucleosis or glandular fever ("mono") before or at the time of their diagnosis. EBV is found in the cancer cells of up to half the patients with Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. This suggests that the EBV plays a role in causing Lymphoma. The cancer cells (in lymphoma) and some immune system cells infected by EBV are able to hide from the body's immune system and escape destruction. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including cells infected with viruses and tumor cells. T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers. T cells, that have been trained to kill EBV infected cells can survive in blood and affect the tumor. We have treated over 80 people on studies using T cells to target these diseases. About half of those patients who had disease at the time they got the cells had responses including some patients with complete responses (meaning the cancer could no longer be detected). We think that if T cells are able to last longer in the body, they may have a better chance of killing EBV and EBV infected tumor cells. Therefore, in this study we will add a new gene to the EBV T cells that can cause the cells to live longer called C7R. We know that T cells need substances called cytokines (substances such as proteins released by specific cells of the immune system) to survive and that the cells may not get enough cytokines after the cells are infused into the body. We have added the gene C7R that gives the cells a constant supply of cytokine and helps them to survive for a longer period of time. The purpose of this study is to find the largest safe dose of C7R-EBV T cells, and additionally to evaluate how long they can be detected in the blood and what affect they have on the cancer.
