Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of Iomab-B, in conjunction with a Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) regimen and protocol-specified allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT), versus Conventional Care in patients with Active, Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
AML is a disease of older adults, with a median age at diagnosis of 67 years . An estimated 13,410 new cases of AML will be diagnosed in 2007. Survival for AML is age-dependent, with significantly lower survival rates reported for older adults. SEER statistics from 1996-2003 show a 5 year relative survival rate of 34.4% for adults younger than 65 and 4.3% for those ≥65 years of age 1. Clinical trials have demonstrated worse survival outcomes in older adults with AML using age cutoffs of 55, 60 and 65 years. Older adults have also experienced increased toxicity to standard therapies in clinical trials. Chronologic age cutoffs have therefore been used in research and clinical practice due to concerns regarding toxicity associated with treatment. The reasons for the increased toxicity and decreased survival in older adults with AML is incompletely understood and likely multifactorial including both tumor specific and host specific factors. Improving understanding of which measurable clinical characteristics predict vulnerability to toxicity will help refine the research and clinical approach to older adults with AML.
Prevalence and prognostic significance of polypharmacy has not been evaluated in adults undergoing treatment for AML. Investigating the significance of polypharmacy in this population may help improve patient assessment and provide an opportunity to design simple interventions to minimize unnecessary morbidity associated with treatment.
This is a phase II trial using a non-myeloablative cyclophosphamide/ fludarabine/total body irradiation (TBI) preparative regimen followed by a related or unrelated donor stem cell infusion. The primary objective is to evaluate rates of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grades II-IV and chronic GVHD with an updated GVHD prophylaxis of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) with a non-myeloablative preparative regimen in persons with hematologic malignancies.
Current protocols use G-CSF to mobilize hematopoietic progenitor cells from matched sibling and volunteer unrelated donors. Unfortunately, this process requires four to six days of G-CSF injection and can be associated with side effects, most notably bone pain and rarely splenic rupture. BL-8040 is given as a single SC injection, and collection of cells occurs on the same day as BL-8040 administration. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of this novel agent for hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization and allogeneic transplantation based on the following hypotheses: - Healthy HLA-matched donors receiving one injection of BL-8040 will mobilize sufficient CD34+ cells (at least 2.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg recipient weight) following no more than two leukapheresis collections to support a hematopoietic cell transplant. - The hematopoietic cells mobilized by SC BL-8040 will be functional and will result in prompt and durable hematopoietic engraftment following transplantation into HLA-identical siblings with advanced hematological malignancies using various non-myeloablative and myeloablative conditioning regimens and regimens for routine GVHD prophylaxis. - If these hypotheses 1 and 2 are confirmed after an interim safety analysis of the data, then the study will continue and include recruitment of haploidentical donors.
Determine the relapse-free, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI)-free survival in patients receiving the investigational regimen.This is a randomized phase II clinical trial, comparing two different dosing schedules of mycophenolate mofetil for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prevention following allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Risk for relapse, GVHD and non-relapse mortality will be assessed. Adaptive randomization between two study arms will be performed based on T cell counts at day 60.
This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a reduced intensity allogeneic HSCT from partially HLA-mismatched first-degree relatives utilizing PBSC as the stem cell source. The primary objective of the study is to estimate the incidence of graft rejection and acute GVHD. A secondary objective will be to estimate the incidence of the relapse, NRM, OS, chronic GVHD and EFS.
Phase 1 will investigate maximum tolerated dose of OXi4503 as a single agent and in combination with intermediate-dose cytarabine in subjects with relapsed/refractory AML or MDS. Phase 2 will investigate overall response rate of OXi4503 in combination with intermediate-dose cytarabine in 1) subjects with MDS after failure of 1 prior hypomethylating agent (Arm A) and 2) subjects with relapsed and refractory AML after treatment failure of up to 1 prior chemotherapy regimen (Arm B).
This clinical pilot trial is intended to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-mismatched related donors for children and young adults with hematologic malignancies who lack a suitably matched related or unrelated donor. The methodology will be one that has been successfully utilized in adult patients at Thomas Jefferson University.
This is an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation Phase 1/1b study in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)/MDS or non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), intended to investigate safety, pharmacokinetics, and the pharmacodynamic effects of FT-1101 administered via one or more intermittent dosing schedules alone and in combination with azacitidine. Once the MTD has been established for a treatment cohort, up to 20 additional patients may be enrolled in up to 4 expansion cohorts each of select populations of patients with either AML/MDS or NHL at the recommended dose for future studies to confirm safety.
