Filter by:A comprehensive mechanistic and epidemiological study to obtain banked cord blood samples from consecutive childhood leukemia patients enrolled in the COG Project:EveryChild (APEC14B1) study. Will attempt to backtrack the initiating genomic alteration identified in the matched diagnostic leukemia sample and molecularly characterize pre-leukemic cells. The ultimate goal of this research is to pinpoint the cell of origin of leukemogenic alterations formed in utero, elucidating the etiology of these initiating mutations (as opposed to frank leukemia), and devising a test for circulating pre-leukemia that can be applied on a population-wide basis.
This study assesses neurocognitive outcomes after receiving radiation therapy to the brain (whole brain radiation therapy) in patients with blood cancers (hematologic malignancies). This may help researchers learn more about the effects of whole brain radiation therapy on memory and thinking in patients with blood cancer.
This phase Ib trial is to find out the side effects and possible benefits of decitabine alone or given together with venetoclax, gilteritinib, enasidenib, or ivosidenib in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that is under control (remission). Chemotherapy drugs, such as decitabine, 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 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking a protein called Bcl-2 needed for cell growth. Gilteritinib, enasidenib, and ivosidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving decitabine alone or together with venetoclax, gilteritinib, enasidenib, or ivosidenib may help to control the disease.
This is a gene transfer study for patients with a type of blood cancer called Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) that has come back or has not gone away after treatment. The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting cancer: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from infectious diseases and possibly cancer. 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. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers. They have shown promise but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. For example, T lymphocytes can kill cancer cells but there normally are not enough of them to kill all the cancer cells. Some researchers have taken T cells from a person's blood, grown more of them in the laboratory and then given them back to the person. The antibody used in this study targets CD19, CD20 and CD22. This antibody sticks to ALL cells because of a substance on the outside of these cells called CD19, CD20 and/or CD22. For this study, the antibody to CD19, CD20 and CD22 has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood, it is now joined to the T cells. When T-cells contain an antibody that is joined to them, they are called chimeric antigen receptor- T cells or CAR-T cells. In the laboratory, we have also found that T cells work better if we also add proteins that stimulate them. One such protein is called 4-1BB. Adding the 4-1BB molecule makes the cells grow better and last longer in the body, giving them a better chance of killing the leukemia cells. In this study we are going to attach the CD19/CD20/CD22 chimeric receptor that has 4-1BB added to the patient's T cells. We will then test how long the cells last. These T cells, called "TRICAR-ALL" T cells are investigational products not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose of gilteritinib given together with ASTX727 and venetoclax and the effect of ASTX727, venetoclax, and gilteritinib in treating patients with FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia that is newly diagnosed, has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. Chemotherapy drugs, such as ASTX727, 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 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Gilteritinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving ASTX727, venetoclax, and gilteritinib may help to control the disease.
CAR technology has been used in T cell therapy and gets great success in treating hematological diseases. Following models of CAR T cells, CAR NK cell therapy has been one hot point. For myeloid malignancies, CD33 is widely expressed. Targeting CD33 surface antigens by CAR NK cells provides an off-the-shelf immune cell therapy.
This phase II trial studies the effect of ASTX727 and dasatinib in treating patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome or BCR-ABL positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase. Philadelphia chromosome positive and BCR-ABL positive are types of genetic mutations (changes). Chemotherapy drugs, such as ASTX727, 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. Dasatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. ASTX727 and dasatinib may help to control Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia or BCR-ABL positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, single center study of short-course oral venetoclax therapy prior to non-myeloablative conditioning with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in subjects with haematological malignancies who are planned for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT). The primary study objective is to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of venetoclax when used in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide conditioning. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the transplant outcomes and donor/recipient engraftment of this regimen.
Pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG 20) will be combined with venetoclax and azacitidine for treatment of subjects with previously treated or untreated with high risk factor acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Venetoclax and azacitidine are front-line therapy for such patients, and ADI-PEG 20 will be added to this regimen in a phase IA/B study.
The primary aim of this innovative immunotherapy using WT1/hTERT/Survivin-loaded DCs is to determine whether this novel DC vaccination is safe and can significantly prevent clinical relapse and increase survival of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients by eradicating minimal residual disease, while maintaining its safety profile in this phase I trial.
