Filter by:Study A536-05 is an open-label extension study for patients previously enrolled in study A536-03 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT01749514), to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ACE-536 in patients with low or intermediate-1 risk MDS.
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.
Decitabine is a hypomethylating agent that has shown significant anti-leukemic effect in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (AML). This study is based on the hypothesis that Decitabine delivered after allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in patients with leukemia will enhance disease control by the allogeneic immune system and lead to a longer disease free survival. The study is designed to provide safety data of low-dosing in the post-transplant setting.
Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) have an ineffective hemopoiesis and often suffer from anemia. This can lead to red blood cell transfusion dependency and iron overload. Iron overload can affect the liver and lead to liver fibrosis and worst case cirrhosis. Ferritin is usually used to monitor the iron overload. In this study MDS patients will have a transient elastography performed which measures the liver's stiffness. The purpose is to investigate whether liver stiffness measurements are coherent to ferritin levels.
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.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an established form of treatment for hematological abnormalities. Poor graft function, occurs when there poor donor engraftment. A second infusion of unselected donor hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) can result in improvement, but can potentially increase the incidence of graft versus host disease. Cluster of differentiation 34+ (CD34+) selected stem cells depleted of T-cells is an attractive alternative for treatment of poor graft function as it may be associated with less Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) and enhanced count recovery. The investigators are using the Miltenyi CliniMACS device and CD34 cell selection reagents for the preparation of allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) transplants for patients who have had prior stem cell transplants and require a stem cell "boost" from the original donor.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well venetoclax and sequential busulfan, cladribine, and fludarabine phosphate before donor stem cell transplant work in treating patients with acute myelogenous leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. Giving chemotherapy before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into a patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and may help destroy any remaining cancer cells.
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.
The study is designed to evaluate safety, immunogenicity, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of a multi-peptide immunotherapy (BB-MPI-03) at three peptide+adjuvant dose levels. The peptides stimulate cytotoxic T-cells targeting oncofetal antigen (OFA). Subjects with AML, MM, sMM, or MDS who are off treatment and with stable disease or better, or who are not eligible for or refuse allogeneic HSCT are to be enrolled. The study will be conducted at 2 to 4 study centers in the US.
