Filter by:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is highly heterogeneous, the efficacy of the individual varies greatly, and the risk of recurrence is high. A large number of newly diagnosed AML patients cannot achieve complete remission (CR) after standard induction chemotherapy. The prognosis of AML patients after relapse is extremely poor, and only a few patients can get remission through salvage treatment. Chidamide is a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) independently developed by China. It has been marketed in recent years and the first innovative drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for clinical research in the United States. Chidamide can increase the sensitivity of leukemia cells to conventional chemotherapy by inhibiting cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and increasing cell cycle arrest. Chidamide and other drugs have different effects in combination, and jointly bear the anti-tumor effect, which provides a theoretical basis for Chidamide in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. Cladribine is a purine nucleoside analog, which has the ability to inhibit DNA synthesis, repair, induce apoptosis, and has anti-leukemia activity for cells in both mitotic and quiescent phases. In the past ten years, many studies have proved that Cladribine and its combination therapy are effective in patients with relapsed and refractory AML and de novo AML. The NCCN guidelines recommend the combination of cladribine as a category 1 recommendation for newly-diagnosed and refractory or relapsed adult AML. Several studies have confirmed the use of Cladribine in the treatment of refractory and relapsed AML. The strong synergistic anti-cancer effect of HDACi combined with Cladribine has been shown in many cancers such as B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, colon cancer, multiple myeloma, natural killer large granular lymphocytic leukemia, B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. Our previous study found a synergistic effect on combination of Chidamide and Cladribine in AML cell lines and primary cells. In clinical observation, refractory and relapsed AML patients also responded well to the combination of Chidamide plus Cladribine regimen. This provides a theoretical and practical basis for the use of the combination of Chidamide and Cladribine in AML patients.
The purpose of this research is to investigate whether the combination of STING-dependent Adjuvants (STAVs) and dendritic cell (DC) vaccine therapies will increase the body's ability to fight aggressive relapsed or refractory leukemias.
This phase I/II trial finds the highest safe dose of IMGN632 that can be given with other chemotherapy without causing severe side effects, studies what kind of side effects IMGN632 may cause, and determines whether IMGN632 is a beneficial treatment for leukemia in children that has come back after treatment or is difficult to treat. IMGN632 is a monoclonal antibody linked to a chemotherapy drug. IMGN632 is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD123 receptors, and delivers the chemotherapy drug to kill them. Giving IMGN632 with other chemotherapy may cause the leukemia to stop growing or to shrink for a period of time.
This is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study that will determine the MTD and RP2D of L-Annamycin in combination with cytarabine for the treatment of subjects with AML.
Therapy resistance remains the major obstacle to cure in many types of cancer. In particular in leukemia, therapy resistance depends on leukemic stem cells (LSC) that exhibit inherent therapy resistance to multiple drugs and contribute to overt leukemic relapse. Cellular therapies alone or in combination with other targeted or chemotherapeutic approaches can overcome drug mediated therapy resistance and induce long lasting remissions. Several trials have shown that adoptive transfer of allogeneic NK cells can induce clinical remission in patients with myeloid malignancies. In addition, the antileukemic efficacy of alloreactive NK cells has been shown to facilitate cure after T cell depleted haploidentical stem cell transplantation. Recently, it was demonstrated that absence of NKGD2 ligand expression on leukemic stem cells determines therapy resistance and immune escape towards NK cells in AML. PARP1 inhibitors can induce re-expression of NKG2D ligands. This phase I/II clinical trial will evaluate the combination of NK cell therapy and PARP inhibition by Talazoparib in patients with poor prognosis AML as characterized by Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) or overt relapse with less than 20% bone marrow blasts. The hypothesis that allogeneic NK cell therapy combined with PARP inhibition will increase the response rate (CR/CRi for relapsed/ refractory patients and MRD-response for MRD positive patients) from 35% to 60% will be tested. The co-primary endpoints are i) response to treatment defined as complete remission (CR) for patients with overt leukemia at time of inclusion and MRD decrease >1log10 for patients with rising MRD at time of inclusion as well as ii) safety and feasibility of the protocol. Key secondary endpoints are event free survival and overall survival. Two cohorts will be assessed independently: patients with i) overt leukemia and ii) patients with rising MRD at time of inclusion. Safety and feasibility will be analyzed continuously during the entire trial. The NAKIP-AML trial will analyze efficacy and feasibility of NK cell transplantation together with PARP1 inhibition.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow and is the most common acute leukemia in adults. This study will evaluate how well Venetoclax works to treat AML in adult participants who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy in Greece. Venetoclax is a drug approved to treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia. All study participants will receive Venetoclax as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Adult participants with a new diagnosis of AML who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy will be enrolled. Around 100 participants will be enrolled in the study in approximately 15 sites in Greece. Participants will receive venetoclax tablets to be taken by mouth daily according to the approved local label. The duration of the study is approximately 30 months. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice and participants will be followed for 30 months.
The investigator is testing the addition of venetoclax to 5-azacitidine and vorinostat followed by standard chemotherapy to enhance treatment response in AML patients.
This project will collect data on patients with acute myeloid leukemia in the United Kingdom who were treated with two new targeted therapies during the coronavirus pandemic
