Filter by:This research study uses special blood cells called multiple tumor-associated antigen (TAA)-specific T cells (a new experimental therapy) to treat patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) which has come back, or may come back, or has not gone away after standard treatment, including an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The investigators have previously used this sort of therapy to treat Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphomas that are infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV is found in cancer cells of up to half of all patients with Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This suggests that it may play a role in causing lymphoma. The cancer cells infected by EBV are able to hide from the body's immune system and escape being killed. The investigators previously tested whether special white blood cells (called T cells) that were trained to kill EBV-infected cells could affect these tumors, and in many patients the investigators found that giving these trained T cells causes a complete or partial response. Other cancers express specific proteins that can be targeted in the same way. The investigators have been able to infuse such tumor-targeted cells into up to 10 patients with lymphoma who do not have EBV, and seen some complete responses. Importantly, the treatment appears to be safe. Therefore, the investigators now want to test whether the investigators can direct these special T cells against other types of cancers that carry similar proteins called tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). These proteins are specific to the cancer cell, so they either do not show up, or show up in low quantities, or normal human cells. The investigators will grow T cells from patients' stem cell donors in the laboratory in a way that will train them to recognize the tumor proteins WT1, NY-ESO-1, PRAME, and Survivin, which are expressed on most AML and MDS cancer cells. The cells will be infused at least 30 days post-allogeneic stem cell transplant. In this study, the investigators want see whether these cells will be able to recognize and kill cancer cells that express these proteins. These donor-derived multiTAA-specific T cells are an investigational product not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration The purpose of this study is to find the largest safe dose of donor-derived tumor protein multiTAA-specific T cells for patients with AML or MDS.
This is a phase 1 study (the first stage in testing a new treatment to see how safe and tolerable the treatment is) which will include patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has either returned or has a more than a 70% chance of coming back and cannot have a bone marrow transplant. This study will see whether modifying a patient's AML cells to produce IL-12 and giving it back to the patient is safe and useful in patients with AML that cannot have bone marrow transplants.
This study focus on the comparison of CAG regimen to the low dose cytarabine therapy in elderly AML patients who are unfit or unwilling to receive intensive chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the escalation dosage of Daunorubicin and cytarabine is effective and safety in the treatment of older adult Chinese acute myeloid leukemia（AML） patients aged 55 to 65 years.
Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF, filgrastim) is now widely used after chemotherapy which complicates hematological toxicity involving neutropenia. As prolonged neutropenia leads to neutropenic fever due to bacteremia or fungal infection, the use of G-CSF prevents severe infectious complication in various cancer patients. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), leukemic blasts have been expected to have G-CSF receptor which may be stimulated by G-CSF, and refractory patients were not treated with G-CSF in salvage chemotherapy in Catholic blood and marrow transplantation (BMT) Center for a long time. This strategy induced prolonged neutropenia and a lot of infectious complications some of which led to deaths. Although there are some data which remind us G-CSF may proliferate leukemic blasts, the investigators also identified several reports which suggested that subgroup with G-CSF use showed acceptable CR rate and improved survival outcomes compared to a subgroup without G-CSF use. Therefore investigators are now trying to identify the effects of G-CSF for refractory AML patients in salvage chemotherapy setting regarding the duration of neutropenia and admission, incidence of infectious complications and the duration of antibiotics application. Furthermore, overall response rate (CR+CRi) after salvage chemotherapy and survival outcomes will be calculated according to G-CSF use. Also, investigators will detect G-CSF receptor using cluster of differentiation 114 (CD114), and analyze the clinical outcomes according to the subgroups with or without using G-CSF during neutropenic period.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether radotinib is effective and safe for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic phase who are intolerable or resistant to prior 2 or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ONC201 and to see how well it works in treating patients with acute leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). ONC201 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This is a long term safety study for patients that have been treated with either ruxolitinib or a combination of ruxolitinib with panobinostat, on a Novartis or Incyte sponsored study, who have been judged by the study Investigator to benefit from ongoing treatment.
Taking into account the specificities of adolescent and young adult cancer patients led agencies (in particular the French National Cancer Institute INCa, through the last Cancer Plan), to initiate projects targeting this population. Acute leukemia is among the most common cancers in adolescents and young adults. Recent therapeutic advances now allow hope for a cure in about 50% of this population. The issue of post-cancer is therefore of particular importance for young adults with cancer. Our aim is to establish the health determinants in young adult leukemia survivors and to compare the frequency of these effects and their explanatory factors to the data collected in children or adolescent leukemia survivors program (LEA). 90 patients followed up at the Institut Paoli-Calmettes cancer center and Nice University Hospital have been identified and would be included in this study.Collected data will include information on the initial disease and its treatments, physical sequelae (fertility, thyroid function, heart function, visual function, secondary tumors, viral infections, lung function, bone metabolism, iron metabolism, metabolic syndrome, osteonecrosis, alopecia ... ), quality of life, social and occupational integration and relationship with care system.
The stud will evaluate whether infusions of CD45RA-depleted lymphocytes from the donor early post-transplant is a safe way to improve immunity to common infections in recipients of TCR-alpha/beta depleted hematopoietic stem cell grafts.
