Filter by: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.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of lower doses of busulfan and the elimination of cyclosporine will further reduce transplant-related side effects for patients with Fanconi Anemia (FA). Patients will undergo a transplant utilizing mis-matched related or matched unrelated donors following a preparative regimen of busulfan, fludarabine, anti-thymocyte globulin and cyclophosphamide.
Phase II trial combining azacitidine with valproic acid as maintenance therapy post allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients with high-risk MDS/AML. We hypothesize that adding valproic acid to azacitidine will improve outcomes via both direct anti-tumor and immunologically mediated antitumor response with alloreactive donor lymphocytes, having an additive effect and extending 1 year survival in patient with high-risk AML/MDS after hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Based on aforementioned data from the US Department of Health and Human Services, standard 1 year survival for AML after stem cell transplant is near 40%. We hypothesize that valproic acid and azacitidine will prolong survival, with a 1 year survival goal of 60%. In addition to assessing for 1 year survival, we will have secondary objectives of assessing progression-free survival, relapse, and toxicity. The primary toxicity endpoint from this will be cytopenias and infections.
The purpose of this study to determine if a lower hemoglobin transfusion threshold, 7 g/dL, has a safety profile similar to that of the current standard transfusion threshold of 8 g/dL.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of (classification determinant) CD34+ stem cell selection on graft versus host disease (GVHD) in children, adolescents, and young adults. CD34+ stem cells are the cells that make all the types of blood cells in the body. GVHD is a condition that results from a reaction of transplanted donor T-lymphocytes (a kind of white blood cell) against the recipient's body and organs. Study subjects will be offered treatment involving the use of the CliniMACS® Reagent System (Miltenyi Biotec), a CD34+ selection device to remove T-cells from a peripheral blood stem cell transplant in order to decrease the risk of acute and chronic GVHD. This study involves subjects who are diagnosed with a malignant disease, that has either failed standard therapy or is unlikely to be cured with standard non-transplant therapy, who will receive a peripheral blood stem cell transplant. A malignant disease includes the following: Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) in chronic phase, accelerated phase or blast crisis; Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML); Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS); Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML); Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL); or Lymphoma (Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's).
The purpose of this study is to learn if 5'-Azacitidine will help to lower the risk of the disease coming back after a stem cell transplant in patients with MDS and AML. This study will also be looking at the side effects of this medicine. 5'-Azacitidine is an FDA approved drug for treatment of MDS and AML, as well as patients whose disease came back after transplant, where it helped going into remission. It is unclear if 5'-Azacitidine can prevent the disease from coming back after transplant. This study will help show if getting 5'-Azacitidine soon after transplant can lower the risk of your disease coming back.
This is a multi-center, phase I/II clinical trial for patients who have relapsed more than 60 day after allogeneic transplant for a hematologic malignancy. The study consists of two phases. The dose finding phase is a modified version of a phase I trial and the extended phase is a modified version of a phase II trial. The primary objective of the dose finding phase is to determine the maximum tolerated, minimum efficacious dose (MTD/MED) of a interleukin-15 (IL-15) super agonist complex (ALT-803) when given once weekly for 4 weeks in the outpatient setting. The study will follow a standard 3+3 design of dose escalation for toxicity with an added feature of stopping early if efficacy is confirmed. There are six dose levels of ALT-803 for to determine the MTD/MED: 1, 3, 6, 10, 20, and 30 mcg/kg. Once the MTD/MED for ALT-803 is determined, this cohort will be used in the extended phase. The primary goal of this extended phase is to study the potential efficacy of ALT-803 in this patient population. Efficacy will be measured using rates of remission induction. An optimal Simon's two-stage design will be used in this phase. Stage 1 will enroll 14 patients (including the 6 patients treated at the MTD/MED during the dose finding phase). If 3 or more of these 14 patients respond to ALT-803, the trial will move to stage 2 and enroll an additional 23 patients. If 2 or fewer respond, the study will terminate enrollment early.
The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the safety and tolerability of omacetaxine for consolidation in patients age 55 and older with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in first complete remission following induction with cytarabine and an anthracycline, and also to assess the safety and tolerability of omacetaxine for maintenance in patients age 55 and older with acute AML in first complete remission following 3 consolidation courses with omacetaxine.
Hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC- primitive cells in the blood, bone marrow and umbilical cord that can restore the bone marrow) transplant can be a curative therapy for the treatment of hematologic malignancies (a disease of the bone marrow and lymph nodes). The source of cells used for the transplant comes from related (sibling) and in cases where there is no sibling match, from unrelated donors through the National Marrow Donor Program. The availability of a suitable donor can be a significant obstacle for patients who need a transplant but do not have a matched donor. Cord blood that has been harvested from an umbilical cord shortly after birth has a rich supply of cells needed for transplant. These stored cord bloods are now being used to transplant adults without a matched donor Advantages to using cord blood includes a readily available source of cells with no risk to the donor during the collection process, immediate source of cells in urgent situations (no lengthy donor work-up)and a reduction in infectious disease transmission to the recipient. One of the main disadvantages is the cord blood has a small number of cells needed for transplant. In an adult, usually two cords are needed and large recipients do not qualify because they need too many cells. This study will use two different preparative regimens (chemotherapy and radiation) followed by one or two umbilical cord units (UBC). The preparative regimen used will be chosen by the physician and is based on patient's age, disease and medical condition at the time of transplant. Multiple objectives for this study include disease-free and overall survival, treatment related mortality, rate of cells taking hold, and the incidence and severity of the transplant complication called graft versus host disease (GVHD).
This trial is a prospective, open-label, single-arm trial of the safety of a single FT1050-treated CB unit for hematopoietic reconstitution after a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen for hematologic malignancies. A maximum of 40 eligible adult subjects will be enrolled and treated in the trial at approximately 2-4 centers within the U.S.
