Filter by:The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the regimen CLAM in relapsed or refractory AML when used as first salvage for patients to relapse or fail after standard treatment with daunorubicin/cytarabine induction.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of anti-cluster of differentiation (CD)47 monoclonal antibody Hu5F9-G4 in treating patients with haematological malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory), or high risk myelodysplastic syndrome. Monoclonal antibodies, such as anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody Hu5F9-G4, block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells.
This is an open label, multicenter Phase 1 study to determine the MTD, dosing schedule and RP2D of IMGN779 when administered as mono-therapy to adult AML patients with CD33 -positive disease.
Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Auto-HSCT) is an effective alternative to allogeneic HSCT for intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) without HLA-matched donors. At present, the best conditioning regimen for AML undergoing auto-HSCT remains in discussion. In this study, the safety and efficacy of IDA+BUCY and BUCY myeloablative conditioning regimens in intermediate-risk AML undergoing auto-HSCT are evaluated.
The primary objective for this study is to assess the safety and tolerability as well as preliminary efficacy of venetoclax in combination with cobimetinib, and venetoclax in combination with idasanutlin in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R) AML who are not eligible for cytotoxic therapy.
Quizartinib is an experimental drug. It is not approved for regular use. It can only be used in medical research. Adults might be able to join this study after bone marrow tests show they have a certain kind of blood cancer (FLT3-ITD AML). Participants will have an equal chance of receiving quizartinib or placebo along with their chemotherapy.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 with or without cytarabine works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 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. It is not yet known whether giving WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 works better with or without cytarabine in treating patients with advanced acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a combination of nintedanib+ induction chemotherapy can be an effective strategy for patients where outcome of relapse/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is poor.
AML is a disease of older adults, with a median age at diagnosis of 67 years . An estimated 13,410 new cases of AML will be diagnosed in 2007. Survival for AML is age-dependent, with significantly lower survival rates reported for older adults. SEER statistics from 1996-2003 show a 5 year relative survival rate of 34.4% for adults younger than 65 and 4.3% for those ≥65 years of age 1. Clinical trials have demonstrated worse survival outcomes in older adults with AML using age cutoffs of 55, 60 and 65 years. Older adults have also experienced increased toxicity to standard therapies in clinical trials. Chronologic age cutoffs have therefore been used in research and clinical practice due to concerns regarding toxicity associated with treatment. The reasons for the increased toxicity and decreased survival in older adults with AML is incompletely understood and likely multifactorial including both tumor specific and host specific factors. Improving understanding of which measurable clinical characteristics predict vulnerability to toxicity will help refine the research and clinical approach to older adults with AML.
Prevalence and prognostic significance of polypharmacy has not been evaluated in adults undergoing treatment for AML. Investigating the significance of polypharmacy in this population may help improve patient assessment and provide an opportunity to design simple interventions to minimize unnecessary morbidity associated with treatment.
