Filter by:The objective of the study is to provide long term access to bosutinib treatment and assess long term safety, tolerability and duration of clinical benefit, without any formal hypothesis testing; therefore, there is no formal primary endpoint.
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 trial is to assess the effect of switching CML patients, who have been treated with imatinib ≥ 2 years and who have stable detectable molecular residual disease between 0.01-1.0% (IS), to the combination of Nilotinib and PegIFN, in terms of the proportion of patients who achieve confirmed MR4.0.
Rationale The pharmacokinetics of imatinib and nilotinib, two BCR/Abl tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKI), is variable among patients suffering from chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Transmembrane transporters may play a pivotal role in interindividual variability in TKI disposition. Furthermore, minimum plasma concentrations (Cmin) higher than 1 mg/L could be associated with a higher likelihood of molecular and cytogenetic responses. The TIKlet study is aimed at evaluating correlations among the pharmacogenetics, pharmacokinetics and treatment efficacy/tolerability of imatinib and nilotinib in CML patients. 1. PATIENTS AND METHODS 1.1. Patients Patients affected by CML will be enrolled after the informed consent will be signed, according to the following inclusion criteria: - patients of both sexes, - age between 18 and 80 years, - treated with imatinib or nilotinib, - included in follow-up activities at the participating Hematology Divisions, - able to give informed consent, - with a proved compliance with the scheduled treatment. The administration of other drugs will be allowed, being known the dose and duration of treatment, as well as smoking and herbal products. Alterations in organ functions or physicochemical exams, body mass index >28 do not represent exclusion criteria. 1.2. Enrollment and follow-up visits During enrollment visit: - patients will be informed about the study, their signed informed consent form will be collected and an individual alphanumeric code will be assigned. - Patients' data will be recorded within the individual case report form (CRF) and a blood sample will be obtained. At follow-up visits, a blood sample will be collected for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and patients' CRF will be updated. 1.3. Blood samples After centrifugation, the resulting plasma will be collected for TDM. During the enrollment visit, an aliquot of whole blood will be collected for molecular analyses. 1.4 Laboratory analyses TDM will be performed by high-performance liquid chromatography systems, then results will be evaluated by a population pharmacokinetic analysis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms will be investigated in the following genes: ABCB1, ABCG2, hOCT1, OCTN1, OATP1A2. Finally, response to drugs, in terms of Major Molecular Response (MMR) and Complete Cytogenetic Response (CCyR), and tolerability will be evaluated. Any possible correlation among drug disposition, pharmacogenetics and treatment effects will be analyzed.
This phase II trial studies how well T cell depleted donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant works in preventing graft-versus-host disease in younger patients with high risk hematologic malignancies. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, 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. Removing a subset of the T cells from the donor cells before transplant may stop this from happening.
Patients with acute or chronic myeloid leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome, underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation from HLA-identical donor (related or unrelated) after reduced-intensity conditioning regimen. If WT1 expression is detectable on tumor cells, they will receive an immune therapy 60 days after allograft. 6 administrations every 2 weeks of the protein recwt1-A10+AS01B will be administrated. The safety and immunological efficacy of this immune therapy after hematopoietic stem cells transplantation with reduced intensity conditioning will be evaluated.
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by a translocation between chromosome 9 and 22, leading to a pathogenic tyrosine kinase signal transduction protein. CML can be treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which inhibit BCR/ABL kinase, such as imatinib. In about 20% of CML patients who are treated by imatinib, a complete cytogenetic response cannot be achieved. The other two novel TKIs (dasatinib and nilotinib), achieve higher rates of complete cytogenetic response and they are proposed as second-line therapy for imatinib-resistant patients or for those who do not tolerate imatinib. Dasatinib inhibits BCR/ABL kinase in about >300 times in vitro in more than imatinib and also inhibits several other kinases, including the Src family. Src tyrosine kinase is crucial for potassium channel function in human pulmonary arteries. Imatinib and nilotinib do not inhibit the Src. Incident cases of precapillary PH have been reported in patients who have CML treated with the dasatinib. Improvements were usually observed after withdrawal of dasatinib. This study is designed to identify incident cases of dasatinib-associated PH and describe pulmonary vascular changes induced by dasatinib. As comparison population will be patients who receive another second-line TKI (nilotinib).
Trial try to assess the efficacy of dasatinib in terms of major molecular response rate at 6 months in patients with CP-CML who have achieved complete cytogenetic response without major molecular response after at least 18 months on Imatinib 400/600.

This pilot phase II trial studies how well giving vorinostat, tacrolimus, and methotrexate works in preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after stem cell transplant in patients with hematological malignancies. Vorinostat, tacrolimus, and methotrexate may be an effective treatment for GVHD caused by a bone marrow transplant.
