Filter by:Pilot study of the efficacy and tolerance of the adjunction of a Fish oil emulsion to daunorubicin and cytarabine chemotherapy for the treatment of Acute MYeloblastic Leukemia of Younger patients (under 61 years) with high-risk cytogenetics.
The purpose of this study is to compare treatment methods and outcomes of patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
A Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Transplantation of a single cord blood unit (CBU) of NiCord®, umbilical cord blood-derived Ex Vivo Expanded Stem and Progenitor Cells in Patients with Hematological Malignancies.
This is a prospective, open-label, nonrandomized, prospective clinical trial evaluating a fixed regimen of treosulfan, fludarabine and low-dose total body irradiation (TBI) in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The primary hypothesis is that HCT with a preparative regimen consisting of treosulfan, fludarabine and low-dose TBI will result in overall survival (OS) comparable to historical rates observed with conventional myeloablative regimens in the pediatric population. The preparative regimen will result in adequate incidence of neutrophil and platelet engraftment, and acceptable rates of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), relapse and survival. The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of treosulfan in children will be comparable to that of adults previously studied.
This clinical study will provide the study specimens (samples of bone marrow and blood) and the clinical data for a pan-Canadian collaborative research project developed by the MDS/AML Research Consortium. The goal of this project involves the evaluation and potential validation of five novel prognostic tests for myelodysplasia (MDS) and/or acute myeloid leukemia (AML), as well as an analysis of health economic and socio-ethical implications related to the potential introduction of these tests into the clinical setting. The over-arching goal is to improve the outcomes of patients with MDS and AML. The primary hypothesis is that one or more of the laboratory tests being evaluated in conjunction with this study, either alone or in combination with other laboratory tests (either established or under investigation in this project), will have statistically significant prognostic value either alone or in combination with established clinical risk factors. The clinical study will involve the enrollment of 200 adults with AML and 200 adults with MDS over a 2.5 year period. Participants will be followed on study for two years. Bone marrow and blood specimens will be collected at diagnosis and at other time points as required for the development of the five laboratory tests. Participants will be assigned to treatment according to local institutional practice and will be followed for up to 2 years. Health economic and quality of life questionnaires will be administered at key time points. Data will be collected regarding participant characteristics, diagnosis, disease features, treatment and clinical outcome.
Background: - Several types of blood cancer are associated with poor outcomes including high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Many people with MDS, CMML, and AML are not candidates for standard treatments. New types of treatment are needed for these cancers. - Clofarabine and lenalidomide are anticancer drugs. The first damages cancer cells in the body. The second can alter blood supply to abnormal cells or affect how the immune system attacks these cells. These drugs have been previously tested as treatments for MDS and leukemia. However, they have not been tried as a combination for MDS, CMML, and AML. Researchers want to see if these drugs are safe and effective for these types of cancer. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of clofarabine and lenalidomide for people with high-risk MDS, CMML, and AML. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have high-risk MDS, CMML, and AML. - Participants must not be candidates for standard treatments. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and bone marrow samples will be collected. - Participants will have 5 days of treatment with clofarabine. It will be given through a vein during an inpatient hospital stay. If there are no serious side effects after the infusion, participants will continue treatment as outpatients. - After 28 days, participants will have a bone marrow biopsy to check their response to treatment. - After the biopsy, participants will start lenalidomide treatment. Half of the participants will take the drug for 28 days (one treatment cycle). The other half will take it for 56 days (two cycles). More blood tests and biopsies will be used to monitor treatment. - If there are no serious side effects and the disease does not become worse, participants may keep taking lenalidomide at lower doses for up to 12 more cycles.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and tolerability of oral panobinostat (PAN) in combination with a fixed dose of 5-Azacitidine (5-Aza) in adult Japanese patients with Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) or Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
This is an open label phase 1 feasibility and safety dose escalation study. The main objective is to evaluate the safety of DCP-001 intradermal vaccination in patients with AML.
This is a phase 2 single arm study in which fourteen MDS patients with Trisomy 8 or classified as Intermediate-1, 2, or High risk who meet all other inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive ON 01910.Na 1800 mg/24h as an intravenous continuous infusion (IVCI) over 72 hours every other week for the first four 2-week cycles and every 4 weeks afterwards.
This study will be conducted to assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of panobinostat given 3 times a week (administered on weeks 2 and 3 of a 4 week cycle) in combination with induction chemotherapy (idarubicin and cytarabine) in newly diagnosed patients with a cytopathologically confirmed diagnosis of high-risk AML, and to investigate the safety of the combination in this regimen.
