Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with azacitidine (an FDA approved drug for the treatment of MDS) and high dose ascorbic acid in patients with TET2 mutations. This approach is intended to enhance the enzymatic activity of TET2 protein, which in term may help to improve counts and symptoms, related to Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Acute Myeloid Leukemia. This combination is specific to individuals who carry this mutation.
This pilot study is designed to evaluate outcomes with the combination of CPX-351 salvage therapy and haplo-cord graft stem cell transplantation for subjects with relapsed or refractory AML or myelodysplastic syndrome.
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of anti-OX40 antibody PF-04518600 (OX40) and how well it works alone or in combination with venetoclax, avelumab, glasdegib, gemtuzumab ozogamicin, and azacitidine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as OX40, avelumab, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Glasdegib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as venetoclax and azacitidine, 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. Giving OX40, venetoclax, avelumab, glasdegib, gemtuzumab ozogamicin, and azacitidine may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
Prevention and early detection of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in children with bone tumors and Acute Myeloid Leukemia by giving capoten
This is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation study that will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of liposomal annamycin as a single agent for the treatment of subjects with AML that is refractory to or relapsed after induction therapy
The purpose of this study was to gather and evaluate additional safety and efficacy data on the combination of midostaurin and standard of care for adult patients with newly diagnosed Fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor (FLT3) mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who were eligible for standard induction and consolidation
This phase I trial studies the side effects of DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401, poly ICLC, decitabine, and nivolumab in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401 is a vaccine that may help the immune system specifically target and kill cancer cells. Poly ICLC may help stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401, poly ICLC, decitabine, and nivolumab may work better in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia.
The treatment of very elderly patients (≥70 years) with acute myeloid leukemia remains controversial. Although the outcome in younger adults has improved because of cytarabine- and anthracycline-based chemotherapy with advanced supportive care and introduction of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the benefit associated with standard intensive chemotherapy in older patients remain debatable. Life expectancy in elderly patients is a function of age, disability and comorbidity, performance score, along with leukemia characteristics such as genetic alterations or white blood cell count at diagnosis 'Older' patients are generally considered those aged 60 years or older. Intensive chemotherapy delivered to the very elderly with AML (patients _70 years of age), may not be beneficial to most and could be harmful to some. However, these patients are often referred to as 'unfit' or ineligible for intensive remission induction therapy. In daily practice, the final decision to treat intensively or not is made by the treating hematologist on a case by case basis according to patient's age, cytogenetics, performance score, concomitant diseases and type of AML (de novo or secondary). In older patients considered 'unfit' for intensive treatment, LD-AraC has been demonstrated to be more beneficial than best supportive care and hydroxyurea. The recent availability of new drugs that may have an improved side effect profile and in some cases bioavailability may offer future improvement for this patient population. The efficacy of hypomethylating agents has been studied in older AML patients with conflicting results. Recent publications refined prognostic information, which not only optimize existing treatments but also could lead to the development of additional targeted therapeutic approaches. In this study, the investigators focus on patients with AML (_20% blasts) aged 70 or older seen in our institution over a 14-year period. The objectives of the analysis are to describe the demographic, clinical and biological characteristics of this population and to evaluate how these characteristics and the treatment chosen affect
The main part of this trial is a phase II study of vosaroxin with azacitidine in older patients with newly diagnosed AML and intermediate or adverse genetic risk or MDS-EB-2. An initial safety run-in phase of the study will be performed administering the study drug vosaroxin with azacitidine in up to 18 patients. After completion of the run-in phase, toxicity and response data will be provided to the external Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) and the Trial Committee by the Coordinating Investigator. The Trial Committee will decide on the basis of these data and the recommendation of the DSMB on dose modification and the vosaroxin dose for the phase II part of the study, which will include 150 patients in total.
This is an open label study to assess the suitability of CPX-351 as first intensive therapy in elderly (age ≥60 years) patients with AML. Patients may have received prior AML treatment with non-intensive regimens, e.g. hypomethylating agents, low dose Ara C or lenolidomide, but may not have received intensive AML treatment with anthracyclines and/or cytarabine prior to enrollment on this trial. The outcome of elderly patients following intensive treatment with CPX-351 will be measured by clinical endpoints for efficacy and safety and by biological/functional response.
