View clinical trials related to Myelodysplastic Syndromes.
Filter by:Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous group of hematological malignancies characterized by cytopenia(s), dysplasia in one or more major myeloid cell lines and progression to acute leukemia. Morphological analysis of peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) remains the cornerstone of the diagnosis. Preliminary studies identified Flow Cytometry (FC) markers on red cells, platelets and circulating leukocytes that are expressed differently in MDS and in controls. However, these markers have been evaluated separately. The investigators propose to test in a large cohort of patients these markers, and to combine the most relevant ones in order to define a PB FC-based diagnosis score that would discriminate between MDS and non-clonal hematopoiesis and would avoid useless bone marrow samples in elderly
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of GSK3326595 in participants with relapsed and refractory MDS, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and AML. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part 1 will determine the clinical benefit rate (CBR) of GSK3326595 in monotherapy and Part 2 will be expanded to study GSK3326595 in combination with 5-Azacitidine which will be composed of a dose escalation phase followed by dose expansion cohort of GSK3326595.
This phase 2 trial studies the effect of intravenous (IV) vitamin C repletion after myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant.
This clinical trial involves individuals who have been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), or MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasm-unclassifiable (MDS/MPN-unclassifiable) and are planning to have an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant ("bone marrow transplant"). The goal of this research study is to (1) test the safety of adding the study drug, Venetoclax, to a standard of care conditioning regimen for bone marrow transplantation as a possible means of eliminating residual (left-over) disease prior to transplant, (2) to test the safety of combination Venetoclax and azacitidine as "maintenance therapy" after transplant to possibly prevent disease recurrence and (3) to test the safety of combination Venetoclax and oral decitabine/cedazuridine as "maintenance therapy" after transplant to possibly prevent disease recurrence. - The name of the study drug involved in this study is Venetoclax. - It is expected that about 68 people will take part in this research study.
This open-label Phase I study aims to define the recommended dose for further clinical development the NKR-2 treatment administered concurrently with AZA in treatment-naïve AML/MDS patients not candidates for intensive chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This Phase I study is divided into three sequential cohorts evaluating three different dose-levels of NKR-2 (1x108, 3x108 and 1x109 NKR-2 per injection) using a 3+3 design evaluate. Further patients will be enrolled at the RecD to reach 9 evaluable patients in total at the RecD. The study consists of a screening phase, a treatment administration phase and a follow-up phase divided into treatment follow-up (TFU) and long-term safety follow-up (LTSFU). For each patient who received at least one NKR-2 administration, the overall study duration will be 15 years after first NKR-2 administration.
This phase II trial studies how well 3 different drug combinations prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) after donor stem cell transplant. Calcineurin inhibitors, such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus, may stop the activity of donor cells that can cause GVHD. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cyclophosphamide and methotrexate, may also stop the donor cells that can lead to GVHD while not affecting the cancer-fighting donor cells. Immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), is used to decrease the body's immune response and reduces the risk of GVHD. It is not yet known which combination of drugs: 1) ATG, methotrexate, and calcineurin inhibitor 2) cyclophosphamide and calcineurin inhibitor, or 3) methotrexate and calcineurin inhibitor may work best to prevent graft versus host disease and result in best overall outcome after donor stem cell transplant.
The goal of this study is to see if the study therapy can decrease the chemotherapy-related side effects while maximizing the effectiveness of disease control. The physicians will also be studying the effect of removing T-cells from the donor"s stem cells before transplant. T-cells are a type of white blood cell that may help cause a serious side effect of transplant called Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD). The way it removes the T-cells from the donor stem cells is actually by selecting only the stem cells (called CD34 cells) by using a device called CliniMACS. This process is called CD34 selection. The CliniMACS® device is currently under the supervision of the FDA .
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of nivolumab and ipilimumab after donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with high risk acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that does not respond to treatment or has come back. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
In this trial, the investigators would like to understand why a small percentage of patients will be refractory to ESA (independently of International prognostic scoring system (IPSS) and % of blasts). In a retrospective study of the "Groupe Francophone des Myélodysplasies (GFM)" , the investigators showed that about 43% of patients are refractory or will relapse after initial response to ESA and it has been shown that these patients have a poorer survival. The investigators plan to give a 12-week treatment of Epoetin alfa or zeta in low risk MDS patients and measure different biological factors to predict response to ESA: - evaluation by flow cytometry before and after treatment of the degree of dyserythropoiesis and dysgranulopoiesis which could explain the primary resistance or loss of response of a subset of patients, - screening by molecular biology of predictive factors of response to ESA, - Iron homeostasis will be measured via hepcidin, GDF-15 and ferritin levels.
This faisability study aims to evaluate the adhesion of the patient to a multidisciplinary program (adapted physical activity, coaching and nutrition)
