Filter by:This is an open label, multicenter, phase 2 trial of Canakinumab in patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post essential thrombocythemia/polycythemia vera related MF (Post ET/PV MF). Eligible patients will receive Canakinumab administered as a subcutaneous injection on day 1 of a 21 day cycle for a core study period of 8 cycles. Canakinumab will be given by subcutaneous injection (SC) injection at a starting dose of 200 mg (one 150 mg/mL syringe and one 50 mg/0.5 mL syringe) every 3 weeks. The interim analysis will be performed when the number of enrolled patients reaches 10. If no responses OR 4 or more patients have unacceptable toxicity, the study will not proceed to the second stage. If the total number of patients reaches the maximum sample size of 26, the treatment is deemed acceptable if the number of responses in the efficacy endpoint are greater than 3, and the number of toxicities are less than 7.
Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety in Adult patients (≥18 years) diagnosed as essential thrombocythemia treated with the Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b vs. Interferon Alfa. Study Design: A prospective, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial.
This phase 1b/2a open-label study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of DISC-0974 as well as categorize the effects on anemia response in subjects with myelofibrosis and anemia.
Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are frequent and chronic myeloid malignancies including Polycythemia Vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF) and Prefibrotic myelofibrosis (PreMF). These MPNs are caused by the acquisition of mutations affecting activation/proliferation pathways in hematopoietic stem cells. The principal mutations are JAK2V617F, calreticulin (CALR exon 9) and MPL W515. ET or MFP/PreMF patients who do not carry one of these three mutations are declared as triple-negative (3NEG) cases even if they are real MPN cases. These diseases are at high risk of thrombo-embolic complications and with high morbidity/mortality. This risk varies from 4 to 30% depending on MPN subtype and mutational status. In terms of therapy, all patients with MPNs should also take daily low-dose aspirin (LDA) as first antithrombotic drug, which is particularly efficient to reduce arterial but not venous events. Despite the association of a cytoreductive drug and LDA, thromboses still occur in 5-8% patients/year. All these situations have been explored in biological or clinical assays. All of them could increase the bleeding risk. We should look at different ways to reduce the thrombotic incidence: Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOAC)? In the general population, in medical or surgical contexts, DOACs have demonstrated their efficiency to prevent or cure most of the venous or arterial thrombotic events. At the present time, DOAC can be used in cancer populations according to International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) recommendations, except in patients with cancer at high bleeding risk (gastro-intestinal or genito-urinary cancers). Unfortunately, in trials evaluating DOAC in cancer patients, most patients have solid rather than hematologic cancers (generally less than 10% of the patients, mostly lymphoma or myeloma). In cancer patients, DOAC are also highly efficient to reduce the incidence of thrombosis (-30 to 60%), but patients are exposed to a higher hemorrhagic risk, especially in digestive cancer patients. In the cancer population, pathophysiology of both thrombotic and hemorrhagic events may be quite different between solid cancers and MPN. If MPN patients are also considered to be cancer patients in many countries, the pathophysiology of thrombosis is quite specific (hyperviscosity, platelet abnormalities, clonality, specific cytokines…) and they are exposed to a lower risk of digestive hemorrhages. It is thus difficult to extend findings from the "general cancer population" to MPN patients. Unfortunately, only scarce, retrospective data regarding the use of DOAC in MPNs are available data. We were the first to publish a "real-life" study about the use, the impact, and the risks in this population. In this local retrospective study, 25 patients with MPN were treated with DOAC for a median time of 2.1 years. We observed only one thrombosis (4%) and three major hemorrhages (12%, after trauma or unprepared surgery). Furthermore, we have compared the benefit/risk balance compared to patients treated with LDA without difference. With the increasing evidences of efficacy and tolerance of DOAC in large cohorts of patients including cancer patients, with their proven efficacy on prevention of both arterial and venous thrombotic events and because of the absence of prospective trial using these drugs in MPN patients, we propose to study their potential benefit as primary thrombotic prevention in MPN.
This is a phase I/II study evaluating the optimal dose of N-acetylcysteine (N-AC) in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN).
This phase II clinical trial evaluates whether a modified modality of conditioning reduces treatment-related mortality (TRM) in patients who undergo a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for a hematological malignancy. HSCT is a curative therapy for many hematopoietic malignancies, however this regimen results in higher rates of TRM than other forms of treatment. In recent years, less intense conditioning regimens with radiation and chemotherapy prior to HSCT have been developed. Radiation therapy uses high energy sources to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors while chemotherapy drugs like fludarabine and cyclophosphamide work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This study evaluates whether a two-step approach with lower-intensity regimens of these treatments prior to HSCT reduces the rate of TRM.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of administrating mutated-CALR peptide Vaccine to patients with MPN. The researchers plan to enroll 10 patients over a 12 month period. Maximum length of participation in 80 weeks. Patients will be asked to complete questionnaires, bone marrow biopsies, research lab collection, and standard of care lab draw. This research will be taking place only at The Mount Sinai Hospital, specifically at the Ruttenberg Treatment Center.
Prospective study to evaluate the relevance of CALR allele burden monitoring as a molecular marker of disease progression.
This study evaluates either KRT-232 or TL-895 in treatment naïve patients with myelofibrosis (MF) The study will be conducted in 2 stages. Stage 1 will evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of either KRT-232 (Arm 1) or TL-895 (Arm 2) in treatment naïve patients. Stage 2 will expand enrollment in Arm 1 and/or Arm 2 if expansion criteria is met.
This study will enroll male and female subjects who are 18 years of age or older with Primary Myelofibrosis, post-polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis, or post-essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis with severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count <50,000/µL) including subjects with intermediate-2 or high-risk MF according to the Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS).
