Filter by:This is a single center, open label, random comparison phase 2b study. The primary objective of this study is, by random comparison, to assess the anti-leukemia effect of allogeneic, donor-derived natural killer (NK) cells infused after HLA-haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). The secondary objectives of the study are to assess the side effects of donor NK cell infusion, effects of donor NK cell infusion upon HCT outcomes, as well as effects upon post-HCT immune recovery.
Phase II open-label single-arm prospective multicentric clinical trial of PF-05212384 (PKI-587) delivered by intravenous route. A 2-stage Fleming design will be employed.
The purpose of this study is to use genomic information from individual patients to create simulation avatars that will be used to predict novel drug combinations with therapeutic potential.
Allogeneic transplant can sometimes be an effective treatment for leukemia. In a traditional allogeneic transplant, patients receive very high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, followed by an infusion of their donor's bone marrow or blood stem cells. The high-dose chemotherapy drugs and radiation are given to remove the leukemia cells in the body. The infusion of the donor's bone marrow or blood stem cells is given to replace the diseased bone marrow destroyed by the chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. However, there are risks associated with allogeneic transplant. Many people have life-threatening or even fatal complications, like severe infections and a condition called graft-versus-host disease, which is caused when cells from the donor attack the normal tissue of the transplant patient. Recently, several hospitals around the world have been using a different type of allogeneic transplant called a microtransplant. In this type of transplant, the donor is usually a family member who is not an exact match. In a microtransplant, leukemia patients get lower doses of chemotherapy than are used in traditional allogeneic transplants. The chemotherapy is followed by an infusion of their donor's peripheral blood stem cells. The objective of the microtransplant is to suppress the bone marrow by giving just enough chemotherapy to allow the donor cells to temporarily engraft (implant), but only at very low levels. The hope is that the donor cells will cause the body to mount an immunologic attack against the leukemia, generating a response called the "graft-versus-leukemia" effect or "graft-versus-cancer" effect, without causing the potentially serious complication of graft-versus-host disease. With this research study, the investigators hope to find out whether or not microtransplantation will be a safe and effective treatment for children, adolescents and young adults with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies
This study will test the safety and effectiveness of adding bortezomib and vorinostat to other chemotherapy drugs commonly used to treat relapsed or refractory leukemia. Both drugs have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat other cancers in adults, but they have not yet been approved tor treatment younger patients with leukemia. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE - To estimate the overall response rate of patients with MLL rearranged (MLLr) hematologic malignancies receiving bortezomib and vorinostat in combination with a chemotherapy backbone. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES - Estimate event-free and overall-survival. - Describe toxicities experienced by participants during treatment. OTHER PRESPECIFIED OBJECTIVES - To identify all genomic lesions by comprehensive whole genome, exome and transcriptome sequencing on all patients. - To compare minimal residual disease (MRD) results by three modalities: flow cytometry, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and deep sequencing.
Successful treatment for children and young adults with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) continues to be a significant challenge. Despite relative improvements in survival for patients with newly diagnosed AML, an estimated 40-60% will relapse with the majority eventually dying of their relapsed disease. Attaining a subsequent remission in patients who relapse is the initial critical step toward achieving a potential cure. As chemotherapy resistance is one of the primary drivers of poor treatment response and subsequent relapse in AML, identifying methods to reverse this resistance are desperately needed. This clinical trial is aimed at improving the remission re-Induction rates for children and adults with relapsed or refractory AML through epigenetic modifying agents that have the ability to reverse chemotherapy resistance. Decitabine, a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (DNMTi) and Vorinostat, a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi), are two epigenetic modifying drugs that act on the methylation of proximal promoter regions of genes and on proteins involved in the wrapping of DNA around histones, respectively. Both processes play a critical role in regulating gene expression, and frequently these genes are involved in chemotherapy resistance. These agents are FDA-approved for treatment in adult hematologic malignancies, making this an opportune time to begin testing these novel therapies in pediatric leukemia trials. This study will investigate chemotherapy priming of relapsed/refractory AML using Decitabine and Vorinostat given for 5 days prior to standard re-Induction with Fludarabine, Cytarabine and G-CSF for children and adults.
This phase II trial studies the side effects lirilumab and azacitidine and to see how well they work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has not responded to treatment or has returned after a period of improvement. Monoclonal antibodies, such as lirilumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 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 lirilumab with azacitidine may be an effective treatment for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 and belinostat when given together in treating patients with myeloid malignancies that have returned after a period of improvement or have not responded to previous treatment or patients with untreated acute myeloid leukemia. WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 and belinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of MEN1112, given as intravenous infusion, in patients with relapsed or refractory AML. Pharmacokinetics, clinical activity and potential immunogenicity of MEN1112 will be evaluated as well.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ibrutinib alone or in combination with either cytarabine or azacitidine in the treatment of subjects with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who have failed standard treatment, or subjects without prior therapy who refuse standard chemotherapy.
