Filter by:The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if ixazomib can prevent AML or MDS from coming back in patients who are in remission. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
This study is being done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of APTO-253 for the treatment of patients with the condition of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) for which either the standard treatment has failed, is no longer effective, or can no longer be administered safely or poses a risk for your general well being.
This pilot phase II trial studies how well a new reduced intensity conditioning regimen that includes haploidentical donor NK cells followed by the infusion of selectively T-cell depleted progenitor cell grafts work in treating younger patients with hematologic malignancies that have returned after or did not respond to treatment with a prior transplant. Giving chemotherapy and natural killer cells before a donor progenitor cell transplant may help stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (progenitor cells) and cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's cells. When the healthy progenitor cells from a related donor are infused into the patient they make red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Removing specific T cells from the donor cells before the transplant may prevent this.
The purpose of the study is to test the safety of six cycles of cenersen treatment and to begin to test the hypothesis that intermittent administration of cenersen may lead to a reduced dependence on transfusion.
Phase I: To investigate maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, exploratory biomarker and efficacy of BI 836858 monotherapy in patients with low or intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with symptomatic anemia. Phase II: To investigate safety and efficacy of BI 836858 plus Best Supportive Care compared to Best Supportive Care alone in low or intermediate-1 risk MDS patients with symptomatic anemia.
Allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is frequently complicated by life threatening viral reactivation. Conventional antiviral therapy is suboptimal for cytomegalovirus (CMV), adenovirus (AdV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and nonexistent for BK virus (BKV). An alternative approach to prevent viral reactivation is to infuse virus-specific cytotoxic T cells (CTL) prepared from the donor early after SCT. Such multivirus-specific CTL cells (MVST) have been successfully used in a number of centers to prevent or treat CMV, Ad and EBV. Activity of BKV-reactive cells has not been studied. Multi virus-specific T cells (MVST) are donor lymphocytes that are highly enriched for viral antigens and expanded in vitro before infusion into the transplant recipient. Viral reactivation is a particular problem inT cell depleted SCT. Median time to CMV reactivation is estimated as 28 days post T-depleted transplant, but infusion of MVST within the immediate post-SCT period has not been previously studied. This protocol will be the first of a planned series of cellular therapies to be layered on our existing T lymphocyte depleted transplant platform protocol 13-H-0144. The aim of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of very early infusion of MVST directed against the four most common viruses causing complications after T-depleted SCT. GMP-grade allogeneic MVST from the stem cell donor will be generated using monocyte-derived donor dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with overlapping peptide libraries of immunodominant antigens from CMV, EBV, Ad, and BKV and expanded in IL-7 and IL-15 followed by IL-2 for 10-14 days. A fraction of the routine donor leukapheresis for lymphocytes obtained prior to stem cell mobilization will be used to generate the MVST cells. MVST passing release criteria will be cryopreserved ready for infusion post SCT. Eligible subjects on NHLBI protocol 13-H-0144 will receive a single early infusion of MVST within 30 days (target day +14, range 0-30 days) post SCT. Phase I safety monitoring will continue for 6 weeks. Viral reactivation (CMV, EBV, Ad, BK) will be monitored by PCR by serial blood sampling. The only antiviral prophylaxis given will be acyclovir to prevent herpes simplex and varicella zoster reactivation. Subjects with rising PCR exceeding threshold for treatment, or those with clinically overt viral disease will receive conventional antiviral treatment. Patients developing acute GVHD will receive standard treatment with systemic steroids. These patients are eligible for reinfusion of MVST when steroids are tapered. The clinical trial is designed as a single institution, open label, non-randomized Phase I/II trial of MVST in transplant recipients, designed as 3-cohort dose escalation Phase I followed by a 20 subject extension Phase II at the maximum tolerated dose of cells. Safety will be monitored continuously for a period of 6 weeks post T cell transfer. The primary safety endpoint will be the occurrence of dose limiting toxicity, defined as the occurrence of Grade IV GVHD or any other SAE that is deemed to be at least probably or definitely related to the investigational product. The primary efficacy endpoint for the phase II will be the proportion of CMV reactivation requiring treatment at day 100 post transplant. Secondary endpoints are technical feasibility of MSVT manufacture, patterns of virus reactivation by PCR, and clinical disease from EBV, Ad, BK, day 100 non-relapse mortality.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies a home telemonitoring device in managing the care of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia after they are discharged from the hospital following chemotherapy. After treatment and hospital discharge, patients typically need extensive care to deal with the side effects of chemotherapy, keep up with medications, and obtain medical assistance. A home telemonitoring device would allow patients to monitor vital signs, symptoms, and use of medications, communicate with healthcare providers, and access educational material. A telemonitoring device may allow patients to be managed more effectively than standard outpatient care after being discharged from the hospital.
This is an open-label, multicenter, prospective pilot study of CDX-301 with or without plerixafor as a stem cell mobilizer for allogeneic transplantation (stem cells that come from another person). HLA-matched sibling healthy volunteers (donors) and patients with protocol specified hematologic malignancies (recipients) will be enrolled.

This is a first in human, non-randomized, open-label, dose escalation study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and pharmacodynamics of repeat doses of KHK2823.
