Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well an umbilical cord blood transplant with added sugar works with chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with leukemia or lymphoma. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer 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. The umbilical cord blood cells will be grown ("expanded") on a special layer of cells collected from the bone marrow of healthy volunteers in a laboratory. A type of sugar will also be added to the cells in the laboratory that may help the transplant to "take" faster.
This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well azacitidine with or without nivolumab or midostaurin, or decitabine and cytarabine alone work in treating older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, decitabine, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Midostaurin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving azacitidine with or without nivolumab or midostaurin, or decitabine and cytarabine alone may kill more cancer cells.
Historically, the best results of allogeneic SCT have been obtained when the stem cell donor is a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling, however, this is only available for approximately 30 percent of patients in need for SCT. Alternative donor sources include matched unrelated donor utilizing the donor registry, cord blood transplant and mismatched donor transplant. A human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical donor is one who shares, by common inheritance, exactly one HLA haplotype with the recipient, and includes the biologic parents, biologic children and full or half siblings. There is strong body of evidence supporting the use of haplo-SCT in patient who lack a matched sibling or unrelated donor with high rates of successful engraftment, effective Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) control and favorable outcomes comparative to those seen using other allograft sources, including HLA-matched sibling SCT. Furthermore, it provides a cost-efficient donor option in a timely manner especially for patients who need to proceed quickly to transplant due to concern of disease relapse/progression.
The main objective of this work is to conduct a clinical study for the development and application of a vaccine with autologous dendritic cells submitted to electroporation with Wilm's tumor 1 (WT1) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), as an adjuvant treatment of high-risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Acute Myeloid Leukemia, aiming to delay the progression of the disease or its relapse and increase overall and event-free survival.
This is a Phase I open-label dose escalation study of a single infusion of FATE-NK100 and a short course of subcutaneous interleukin-2 (IL-2) administered after lymphodepleting chemotherapy (CY/FLU) in subjects with refractory or relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). FATE-NK100 is a natural killer (NK) cell product that is enriched for NK cells with an "adaptive", or human cytomegalovirus (CMV)-induced, phenotype. The NK cell product is comprised of peripheral blood (PB) leukocytes sourced from a related donor (HLA-haploidentical or better but not fully HLA-matched) that is seropositive for cytomegalovirus (CMV+), and enriched for adaptive NK cells by depletion of CD3+ (T-lymphocytes) and CD19+ (B-lymphocytes) cells followed by ex-vivo culture expansion.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous group of diseases with distinct clinicopathologic features sharing in common an abnormal increase in myeloblasts in blood and bone marrow (BM). In about 5-10% patients, the myeloblasts exhibit chromosomal abnormalities (complex and/or monosomal karyotype, CK/MK*) that are associated with refractoriness to conventional chemotherapy and an extremely bad prognosis. Standard induction chemotherapy for AML comprises daunorubicin and cytarabine, the "7+3" regimen. However, treatment is largely ineffective for CK/MK AML with a temporary clearance of blasts achieved in only 30-40% cases and the cumulative toxicities resulting from repeated courses of chemotherapy have significantly increased the morbidity and mortality risks in subsequent allogeneic BMT. Therefore, standard treatment is unsatisfactory and there is an unmet clinical need for more effective and less toxic induction regimen. Both previous and recent studies showed that 10 day course of decitabine (20 mg/m2/day) induced remission in 70-100% patients with CK/MK AML, particularly those with TP53 mutations. In this study, patients with CK/MK AML will be treated with decitabine to induce remission. Bone marrow examination will be performed after each course until complete clearance of blasts or disease progression. Patients achieving CR/CRi (see below) will continue to receive 4 more courses, after which patients eligible for BMT and for whom donors are available will receive curative BMT. We reckon that the time it takes for 4 courses of decitabine will suffice for transplantation workup in HK. . Patients ineligible for BMT will continue to receive decitabine until leukemia progression. The response rate, leukemia free survival (LFS), overall survival (OS) and percentage of patients who can be bridged to BMT will be compared with historical 7+3 regimen control.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the safe and recommended dose of APR-246 in combination with azacitidine as well as to see if this combination of therapy improves overall survival.
This study will be done in two parts: Phase I (NCT02212561) has been completed and published. The goal of the Phase I portion of this study was to find the highest tolerable dose of selinexor (KPT-330) that can be given to patients with leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), when it is combined with fludarabine and cytarabine. The Phase II portion of the protocol is reflected in this registration. The goal of the Phase II portion of this protocol is to give the highest dose of selinexor (KPT-330) in combination with fludarabine/cytarabine that was found in Phase I to be safe for children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The investigators will examine the effect of this combination treatment.
The purpose of this study is to provide expanded access to ASP2215 for subjects with FLT3-mutated relapsed or refractory AML or FLT3-mutated AML in composite complete remission (CRc) (complete remission [CR], complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery [CRi], complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery [CRp]) with MRD without access to comparable or alternative therapy.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if venetoclax when co administered with low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) improves overall survival (OS) versus LDAC and placebo, in treatment-naïve patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
