Filter by:Recent preclinical and clinical data strongly suggested that dexamethasone could improve the activity of intensive chemotherapy in AML. In this study, the FILO study group will assess the impact of adding dexamethasone to both induction and consolidation therapy in older AML patients with intermediate or favorable risk.
Phase II randomized placebo-controlled study to assess the impact on outcome of Eltrombopag administered to elderly patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) receiving induction chemotherapy. A phase II multicenter and randomized placebo-controlled study
This phase II trial studies how well 3 different drug combinations prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) after donor stem cell transplant. Calcineurin inhibitors, such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus, may stop the activity of donor cells that can cause GVHD. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cyclophosphamide and methotrexate, may also stop the donor cells that can lead to GVHD while not affecting the cancer-fighting donor cells. Immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), is used to decrease the body's immune response and reduces the risk of GVHD. It is not yet known which combination of drugs: 1) ATG, methotrexate, and calcineurin inhibitor 2) cyclophosphamide and calcineurin inhibitor, or 3) methotrexate and calcineurin inhibitor may work best to prevent graft versus host disease and result in best overall outcome after donor stem cell transplant.
The goal of this study is to see if the study therapy can decrease the chemotherapy-related side effects while maximizing the effectiveness of disease control. The physicians will also be studying the effect of removing T-cells from the donor"s stem cells before transplant. T-cells are a type of white blood cell that may help cause a serious side effect of transplant called Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD). The way it removes the T-cells from the donor stem cells is actually by selecting only the stem cells (called CD34 cells) by using a device called CliniMACS. This process is called CD34 selection. The CliniMACS® device is currently under the supervision of the FDA .
The long-term efficacy of chemotherapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has been significantly improved in recent years. The combination of anthracycline plus cytarabine (Ara-C) has been a standard induction regimen for patients with AML. However, the optimal consolidation therapy after induction chemotherapy has not reached a consensus. The FLAG regimen consisting of fludarabine and high-dose cytarabine combined with G-CSF which is one of the first-line consolidation treatment options for relapsed and refractory AML. This study conducted a retrospective analysis of the intensive treatment of AML with the FLAG regimen from January 2007 to May 2018 in our hospital to evaluate the efficacy of the FLAG regimen. To provide the basis for the choice and timing of treatment for patients with AML treated with the FLAG regimen.
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of nivolumab and ipilimumab after donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with high risk acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that does not respond to treatment or has come back. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is a curative option for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, transplantation related toxicity and mortality as well as the existence of HLA identical sibling donor represent major limitations. Over the 20 past years, the development of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen and the use of alternative donors allowed extending the possibility of Allo-HSCT for AML, with decreased toxicity and mortality. This invited to propose this strategy to more advanced patients, making that AML recurrence has become one of the main issues after Allo-HSCT. Thus, to develop prophylactic and preemptive strategies to minimize disease recurrence after Allo-HSCT is now the main challenge in the field. Among cellular and/or pharmacological treatments after Allo-HSCT, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is probably one of the most commonly used treatments after Allo-HSCT. Indeed, DLI were reported as a potential efficient immunotherapy more than 20 years ago for the treatment of patients with leukemia relapsing after Allo-HSCT. However, most of experiences were reported in the setting of relapse after Allo-HSCT and no prospective evaluation of prophylactic DLI is available so far. Thus no strong recommendation for the use of DLI after Allo-HSCT can be made. Our study proposal would like to assess the question of prophylactic DLI efficacy, as a proof of concept of early immune intervention after Allo-HSCT. The investigators, therefore, designed a prospective multicenter randomized trial evaluating the impact of early DLI on outcome after Allo-HSCT for AML.
This faisability study aims to evaluate the adhesion of the patient to a multidisciplinary program (adapted physical activity, coaching and nutrition)
Primary Objective: - Dose escalation: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SAR440234 administered as a single agent in participants with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML), high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS), or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), and determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for the subsequent Expansion part. - Expansion part: To assess the activity of single agent SAR440234 at the RP2D in participants with R/R AML or HR-MDS. Secondary Objective: - To characterize the safety profile including cumulative adverse drug reactions. - To evaluate the potential immunogenicity of SAR440234. - To assess any preliminary evidence of hematologic response in the Dose Escalation Part.
Infections are a major life-threatening complication in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Currently there is no guidelines about antibacterial prophylaxis to prevent infections in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukaemia. The investigators will conduct a randomized prospective study to evaluate the benefit of prophylactic antibacterial by levofloxacin on febrile episode in Azacytidine treated patients (MDS and AML).
