Filter by:This trial studies the side effects of recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein when given together with azacitidine or decitabine in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or acute myeloid leukemia that has come back or has not responded to previous treatment with a hypomethylating agent. Recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Hypomethylating agents, such as azacitidine and decitabine, slow down genes that promote cell growth and can kill cells that are dividing rapidly. Giving recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein together with azacitidine or decitabine may work better in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or acute myeloid leukemia.
This is a phase II, single-group pilot study to evaluate efficacy and methylation. This study's overarching aim is to evaluate the systemic effects of black raspberries in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm. Twenty-one patients with MDS will be treated with 25 gm (2x/day) of BRB powder taken orally.
This study will use droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) method to quantify and track peripheral blood plasma mutant allele frequency (MAF) in MDS and AML patients before, during and after chemotherapy treatment. Quantification of MAF from fingersticks and saliva samples will also be performed to determine feasibility of obtaining adequate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for ddPCR.
This pilot phase II trial studies how well high dose cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil work in preventing graft versus host disease in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing myeloablative or reduced intensity donor stem cell transplant. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft versus host disease). Giving high dose cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of 211^astatine(At)-BC8-B10 before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or mixed-phenotype acute leukemia. Radioactive substances, such as astatine-211, linked to monoclonal antibodies, such as BC8, can bind to cancer cells and give off radiation which may help kill cancer cells and have less of an effect on healthy cells before donor stem cell transplant.
The study is a Phase II clinical trial. Patients will receive intensity modulated total marrow irradiation (TMI) at a dose of 9 Gy with standard myeloablative fludarabine/ i.v. targeted busulfan (FluBu) conditioning prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).
This research study is studying a drug as a possible treatment for diagnosis of AML, BPDCN and high-risk MDS. The interventions involved in this study are: - SL-401 - Azacitidine - Venetoclax
The primary hypothesis is that digoxin can be safely added to decitabine and will increase the response rates in medically unfit patients with newly diagnosed AML/MDS or those with relapsed/refractory AML/MDS. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that the addition of digoxin to decitabine will result in distinct epigenetic alterations in AML/MDS patients.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are myeloid hemopathies characterized by ineffective clonal haematopoiesis, peripheral cytopenias and a predisposition to the occurrence of acute myeloid leukemias. Their diagnosis involves a cytological evaluation of the medulla, while their prognosis, in addition to extrinsic factors depending on the patient himself (age, comorbidities), intrinsic factors. The cytological evaluation is subject to a certain subjectivity since qualitative and the diagnosis is sometimes difficult in the absence of marker of clonality. More and more studies emphasize the interest of flow cytometry (CMF) in the diagnosis of SMD: by looking for qualitative and / or quantitative aberrations of the expression of membrane markers, CMF allows to establish scores Diagnosis that we have put in place within the laboratory. However, these studies are based on a static model that studies the phenotypic characteristics of patients at a given time but does not really reflect ineffective hematopoiesis. A dynamic model for in vitro reproduction of hematopoiesis would be an innovative tool for the study of SMD. This project aims to develop and standardize a system of differentiation in liquid medium of hematopoietic stem cells (CSH) in mature cells by studying each stage of the differentiation in terms of proliferation, apoptosis and phenotypic expression. HSCs will be obtained by CD34 + sorting from the medullary sample at diagnosis: the investigator will study cell proliferation, apoptosis and the acquisition of surface markers, in order to identify the quantitative and qualitative abnormalities associated with the differentiation of haematopoietic progenitors Smart. This should make it possible to identify diagnostic and prognostic factors in terms of response to treatment, acutism and survival.
This phase II trial studies how well an umbilical cord blood transplant with added sugar works with chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with leukemia or lymphoma. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The umbilical cord blood cells will be grown ("expanded") on a special layer of cells collected from the bone marrow of healthy volunteers in a laboratory. A type of sugar will also be added to the cells in the laboratory that may help the transplant to "take" faster.
