Filter by:This study is for older children, adolescents, and young adults with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL). Higher amounts of body fat is associated with resistance to chemotherapy in patients with B-ALL. Chemotherapy during the first month causes large gains in body fat in most people, even those who start chemotherapy at a healthy weight. This study is being done to find out if caloric restriction achieved by a personalized nutritional menu and exercise plan during routine chemotherapy can make the patient's ALL more sensitive to chemotherapy and also reduce the amount of body fat gained during treatment. The goals of this study are to help make chemotherapy more effective in treating the patient's leukemia as demonstrated by fewer patients with leukemia minimal residual disease (MRD) while also trying to reduce the amount of body fat that chemotherapy causes the patient to gain in the first month.
The aim of the study is to know the percentage of ABL mutations in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia that relapsed or are refractory to tyrosine-kinase inhibitors measured with a myeloid mutations panel by NGS.
The goal of this clinical study is to compare the study drugs, magrolimab + venetoclax + azacitidine, versus placebo + venetoclax + azacitidine in participants with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not able to have chemotherapy.
Compared with patients with philadelphia chromosome-negative Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph- ALL), patients with Ph-positive (Ph+) ALL exhibit a comparatively poor prognosis. Fortunately, significant improvements have been found in response rates, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) for patients with Ph+ ALL with the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy to treatment regimens. Based on improvements in efficacy and tolerability, next-generation TKIs have been widely used in first-line treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Flumatinib, a TKI with more potent binding affinity for BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase than imatinib, demonstrated higher rates of responses, faster and deeper responses in FESTnd trial, which suggested that flumatinib might show improved clinical efficacy for treating Ph+ ALL compared with imatinib. The investigators therefore hypothesized that the addition of flumatinib to combinatorial chemotherapy regimen would demonstrate greater efficacy compared with the prior use of imatinib in treating Ph+ ALL. This study explored the safety and efficacy of flumatinib versus imatinib when combined with multi-agent chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL.
Acute Core Binding Factor leukemias represent a specific category of acute myeloid leukemias that share prognostic factors, a specific mutational profile, and a favorable response to chemotherapy. Their management now follows the reference pattern from the French trial CBF-2006 closed to inclusions since November 2010. This includes intensive chemotherapy and intensification by allogeneic marrow transplant depending on the residual disease measured by RT qPCR . These leukemias have not been the subject of multicenter clinical trials since that date. The results of this treatment regimen need to be evaluated. Known prognostic factors such as signaling mutations, clonal interference or residual disease follow-up (MRD) will be analyzed and updated in this recent cohort. The interaction between residual disease and mutational profile will be evaluated on the prognosis. Treatment with gemtuzumab-ozogamycin and first-line allogeneic transplantation will be investigated, depending on prognostic factors including associated mutations and residual disease. The course and early treatment of molecular relapses will be analyzed. The treatment and prognosis of cytological relapses will be described with in particular the role of tyrosine kinase inhibitors and therapeutic intensification.
This study is a phase II trial of belimumab in combination with rituximab/venetoclax in patients with refractory or relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Treatment of CLL has drastically changed in the past years as new therapeutic agents have gained clinical approval. The combination rituximab/venetoclax over a course of two years is approved as second line therapy especially in patients with high risk CLL (del17p), showing high remission rates and achievement of MRD (minimal residual disease) negativity. The next goals in CLL therapy are now to increase the rate of MRD negativity and to achieve an earlier MRD negativity during the course of treatment to allow for a reduction of treatment time and therefore treatment-induced toxicities. In line with other hematologic diseases, progression free survival depends on remission status, especially MRD negativity, after last treatment as MRD positivity after therapy indicates the persistence of treatment resistant CLL cells. One mechanism of therapy resistance has been described as reduced sensitivity to rituximab-induced antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) by natural killer (NK) cell production of B-lymphocyte stimulator (BlyS, also called BAFF), which can be bound by belimumab, a human anti-BAFF antibody. Moreover, recombinant human (rh)BAFF can dose dependently reverse cytotoxic effects of venetoclax, which could also be restored by the application of belimumab. This led to the conceptualization of this clinical trial, in which belimumab is applied as a weekly subcutaneous injection in combination with standardrituximab/venetoclax treatment for up to 24 months in relapsed and refractory CLL patients. By removing BAFF from the CLL microenvironment we aim to increase the efficacy of rituximab/venetoclax treatment to achieve higher and earlier MRD negativity rates and allow for an abbreviated treatment.
This is a multi-phase, multi-center, single arm, prospective study designed to establish the safety and efficacy of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched unrelated cryopreserved deceased donor bone marrow transplantation (BMT) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide for patients with hematologic malignancies.
HSCT from an allogeneic donor is the standard therapy for high-risk hematopoietic malignancies and a wide range of severe non-malignant diseases of the blood and immune system. The possibility of performing HSCT was significantly limited by the availability of donors compatible with the MHC system. However, modern ex-vivo and in vivo technologies for depletion of T lymphocytes have made it possible to improve the outcomes of HSCT from partially compatible related (haploidentical) donors. In representative groups, it was shown that the success of HSCT from haploidentical donors is not inferior to standard procedures of HSCT from HLA-compatible unrelated donors. HSCT from haploidentical donors in children associated with the deficit of the adaptive immune response, which persists up to 6 months after HSCT and can be an increased risk of death of the patient from opportunistic infections. To solve this problem, the method of infusion of low doses of donor memory T lymphocytes was introduced. This technology is based on the possibility of adoptive transfer of memory immune response to key viral pathogens from donor to recipient. Such infusions have been shown to be safe and to accelerate the recovery of the pathogen-specific immune response. The expansion of virus-specific T lymphocytes in the recipient's body depends on exposure to the relevant antigen in vivo. Thus, in the absence of contact with the viral antigen, the adoptive transfer of memory T lymphocytes is not accompanied in vivo by the expansion of virus-specific lymphocytes and does not form a circulating pool of memory T lymphocytes, that can protect the patient from infections. Therefore the investigators assume that ex-vivo priming of donor memory lymphocytes with relevant antigens can provide optimal antigenic stimulation and may solve the problem of restoring immunological reactivity in the early stages after HSCT. Technically ex-vivo primed memory T lymphocytes will be generated by short incubation of CD45RA-depleted fraction of the graft (a product of T lymphocyte depletion) with a pool of GMP-quality peptides representing a number of key proteins of the viral pathogens. The following are proposed as targeted antigens: CMV pp65, EBV EBNA-1, EBV LMP12A, Adeno AdV5 Hexon, BKV LT, BKV VP1. An infusion of donor memory lymphocytes will be performed on the day +1 after transplantation. Parameters of the assessment will be safety and efficacy (immune response by day 60 and stability (responses by day 180).
This study will be conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, cellular kinetics (CK), activity, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of NTLA-5001 in participants with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a digital health coaching program for, and to describe quality of life of, individuals in the 6 months following chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. Up to 50 English-speaking individuals aged 18 and older who are to receive treatment with a CAR T cell therapy will be enrolled, all at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Participants must have internet access via smart phone, tablet, a computer, or another device with the capacity to receive calls, texts, or e-mails, as well as the electronic study assessments and will be excluded if they are unable to provide informed consent or have a prognosis of 6 months or less. Consented participants will be enrolled in a 6-month digital health coaching program delivered via weekly calls from a Health Advisor coupled with the digital delivery of content. The program focuses on identification and escalation of treatment-related toxicity, communication with providers, and physical and psychosocial health following treatment. Health related quality of life (HRQoL) will be assessed with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lymphoma (FACT-L), health self-efficacy will be assessed by the Cancer Behavior Inventory-Brief (CBI-B), physical and mental health outcomes will be measured by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Health 10. Patient experience in managing CAR T specific care will be assessed with a 5-item questionnaire developed specifically for use in this study, focused on participants' confidence in understanding, identifying and managing symptoms, and communicating with providers. Study outcomes will contribute to knowledge about if and how a digital health intervention may be used to support individuals post-CAR T cell therapy.
