Filter by:The trial is open to all patients with a diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) who are PCR-positive for the PML-RARĪ± transcript and less than 18 years of age.
This Phase 1, clinical study of CC-96191 will explore the safety, tolerability and preliminary biological and clinical activity of CC-96191 as a single-agent in the setting of Relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML). The dose escalation (Part A) of the study will explore escalating intravenous doses of CC-96191 to estimate the MTD and/or RP2D of CC-96191 as monotherapy. The expansion (Part B), will further evaluate the safety and efficacy of CC-96191 administered at or below the MTD in one or more expansion cohorts in order to determine the RP2D.
Clinical Trial for the Safety and Efficacy of Sequential CD19 and CD22 CAR-T Therapy for Adult Patients With Newly Diagnosed Ph Chromosome Positive B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
This study aims at evaluating the feasibility and safety of the administration of autologous T cells that have been modified through the introduction of a chimeric antigen receptor targeting the B-cell surface antigen CD19, following administration of lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen, in children and adults with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B- ALL) or aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). The phase II extension is aimed at testing the efficacy of the treatment at the optimal dose defined in the phase I. In addition, the investigators hypothesize that it is feasible to successfully manufacture CAR T cells to meet the established release criteria at a maximum target dose of 3.0 x 10^6 cells/kilogram recipient total body weight in this patient population using the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy® closed transduction system.
Metabolic reprogramming has been identified as a hallmark of cancer. Almost a century after Otto Warburg initially discovered increased glycolytic activity in tumor tissue ("Warburg effect"), therapeutic targeting of cancer metabolism has become a field of intense research effort in cancer biology. A growing appreciation of metabolic heterogeneity and complexity is currently reshaping investigators "simplistic" understanding of metabolic reprogramming in cancer. Discovering metabolic vulnerabilities as new treatment targets for cancer requires systematic dissection of metabolic dependencies, fuel preferences, and underlying mechanisms in the specific physiological context. However, today's data on cancer cell metabolic signatures and heterogeneity in their physiological habitat of the human organism is sparse to non-existent representing a critical knowledge gap in designing effective metabolic therapies. Here, the investigators propose a "top-down" approach studying cancer cell metabolism in patients followed by mechanistic in-depth studies in cell culture and animal models to define metabolic vulnerabilities. Investigators will develop a metabolic tracing method to quantitatively characterize metabolic signatures and fuel preferences of leukemic lymphocytes in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Isotopic metabolic tracers are nutrients that are chemically identical to the native nutrient. Incorporated stable, non-radioactive isotopes allow investigators to follow their metabolic fate by monitoring conversion of tracer nutrients into downstream metabolites using cutting-edge metabolomics analysis. Using this method, investigators propose to test the hypothesis that leukemic lymphocytes show tissue-specific metabolic preferences that differ from non-leukemic lymphocytes and that ex vivo in-plasma labeling represents a useful model for assaying metabolic activity in leukemic cells in a patient-specific manner.
Patients with acute leukemia derived from T lymphocytes have the characteristics of high expression of CD7 antigen, such as acute T lymphocyte leukemia (T-ALL).CAR-T therapy is to genetically modify the patient's T lymphocytes to target and eliminate tumor cells in a major histocompatibility complex-independent manner. CAR-T cells are costimulatory molecules that include single-chain antibodies (scFv) that recognize tumor-specific antigens, hinge regions, transmembrane regions, intracellular signaling regions (immunoreceptor tyrosine activation motif ITAM), and intracellular signaling regions. The chimeric antigen receptor of CD28 or CD137(4-1BB) conduction domain is expressed in a lentiviral vector, and the vector is transfected into autologous T cells, so that the modified CAR-T cells have targeting and specificity Recognizes and kills cancer cells expressing tumor antigens, and can proliferate and activate in vivo, but has no effect on cells that do not express the antigen
During the last fifteen years, the landscape of AML diagnosis and therapeutical options has markedly evolved. Refined genetic and prognostic characterizations, together with new drug approvals and new allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) procedures, have increased patient journey diversity.
This phase Ib/II trials studies the side effects of decitabine/cedazuridine (ASTX727) and venetoclax in combination with ivosidenib or enasidenib, and how well they work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). ASTX727 is the combination of a fixed dose of 2 drugs, cedazuridine and decitabine. Cedazuridine may slow down how fast decitabine is broken down by the body, and decitabine may block abnormal cells or cancer cells from growing. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking BCL-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Enasidenib and ivosidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving decitabine/cedazuridine and venetoclax in combination with ivosidenib or enasidenib may help control acute myeloid leukemia.
This is a Phase 1, multi-center, open-label study with a dose-escalation phase (Phase 1a) and a cohort expansion phase (Phase 1b), to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK profile of LP-118 under a once daily oral dosing schedule in up to 100 subjects.
Ibrutinib, an inhibitor of Bruton´s tyrosine kinase (BTK) is approved in CLL as continuous, daily administration of 420 mg orally until progression. Ibrutinib drug costs in health care are rapidly increasing and are difficult to predict, as long-term follow up analyses have shown that many patients remain on therapy for several years, in some cases even many years. It has been observed that patients who stop ibrutinib due to side effects may often remain with continued CLL disease control i.e. in stable partial remission even when off ibrutinib therapy. There are also emerging data on mutations within BTK, with loss of efficacy of ibrutinib, during long-term continuous administration. These observations raise the question whether alternative dosing strategies may be feasible. This pilot study will explore intermittent and repeated dosing of ibrutinib, until alternative therapy is required due to resistance or intolerance to ibrutinib. An "ON-OFF" dosing strategy will be applied, where advanced-phase CLL patients who have received at least 6 months of ibrutinib and who have achieved a stable PR will stop ibrutinib and be followed off therapy until clinical progression, at which ibrutinib will be re-instituted. Such "ON-OFF" ibrutinib cycles may be repeated until non-tolerability or resistance, or need of continuous dosing of ibrutinib (i.e. early progression when off the drug). If successful, the study will indicate a way forward towards reducing ibrutinib drug costs in health care without affecting long-term disease control, possibly also with fewer ibrutinib-related side effects due to a lower cumulative dose of ibrutinib. Long-term effects on potential mutations within BTK and its downstream signaling molecules will also be analysed.
