Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well the combination of decitabine, venetoclax, and ponatinib work for the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute myeloid leukemia or myeloid blast phase or accelerated phase chronic myelogenous leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as decitabine, 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. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Ponatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving decitabine, venetoclax, and ponatinib may help to control Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute myeloid leukemia or myeloid blast phase or accelerated phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Study Phase III Randomized Study to Investigate the Use of Acalabrutinib in the Treatment of Patients with Early Stage CLL With High Risk of Early Disease Progression. The study will consist of a screening phase, a treat¬ment/observation phase until progression, and a follow-up phase for progression in patients who discontinue treatment with Acalabrutinib without confirmed progression. Patients who progress will be followed for survival and initiation of subsequent antileukemic therapy. In the study, 130 patients from 20 centers in Spain with intermediate, high or very high risk will be randomized (1:1) to receive Acalabrutinib (n=65) or clinical observation (n=65). Acalabrutinib will be administered orally 100 mg twice daily on a continuous schedule. Even though the majority of patients with CLL are currently diagnosed at early stages of the disease, there is a consensus that the standard of care in these patients is clinical observation (watch & wait) despite of the presence of risk factors for premature disease progression. Early treatment in patients with adverse prognostic parameters could prevent a disease evolving to a more advanced stage, and therefore more difficult to treat. So far, conventional chemotherapy did not show any benefit in terms of overall survival in patients with early stage CLL. (Dighiero 1998, Hoechstetter Leukemia 2017) Alongside this, treatment with chemotherapy may provoke two undesired effects: first, the occurrence of bone marrow toxicity that may hamper the subsequent administration of other treatments during the course of the disease; second, but not less relevant, genotoxic drug delivery may elicit a phenomenon of clonal selection leading to the appearance of CLL cells with genetic aberrations associated with refractoriness and aggressive outcome (i.e., TP53). Against this background, it is of interest to investigate the role of new non-genotoxic drugs in the treatment of patients with CLL in early stages. Among different scores for selecting cases that are likely to progress rapidly, the German CLL Study Group (GCLLSG) risk score that includes 8 independent predictors for OS and PFS, differentiates patients with low-risk PFS vs. those with risk of early disease progression (median PFS 87 months vs. less than 27 months), allowing for a risk-adapted treatment approach in early stage CLL. (Pflug 2014, Langerbeins 2015). Acalabrutinib, a second-generation, selective inhibitor of BTK, has shown substantial activity in patients with CLL. Acalabrutinib is a non-genotoxic drug active in cases with genetic lesions associated with chemorefratoriness and adverse outcome, including patients with alterations of TP53. Therefore, acalabrutinib represents a suitable compound for the treatment of patients with CLL in early stages with risk of early disease progression, including the high-risk CLL patient population with TP53 alterations.
This study will evaluate a new maintenance therapy with the aim of improving the outcome of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplasia (MDS) after stem cell transplantation.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of venetoclax in combination with azacitidine to improve Overall Survival (OS) in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) participants compared to Best Supportive Care (BSC) when given as maintenance therapy following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). This study will have 2 parts: Part 1 (Dose Confirmation), which may include participants who are greater than or equal to 18 years old; Part 2 (Randomization) which may include participants who are greater than or equal to 12 years old. During Part 1, recommended Phase 3 dose of venetoclax in combination with azacitidine will be determined and during Part 2, the efficacy and safety of venetoclax with azacitidine (Part 2 Arm A) will be compared with BSC (Part 2 Arm B).
This study is being done to evaluate the clinical outcomes of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) participants treated with venetoclax as routine standard of care in Greece. The decision to treat with venetoclax is made by the participant's physician prior to being offered enrollment in this study. The objectives of this study include determining overall response rate, assessing safety information, analyzing patient profiles and disease characteristics and participant quality of life.
This phase I trial studies the side effects, best dose of flotetuzumab and how well it works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to treatment (refractory). This study also determines the safest dose of flotetuzumab to use in children with AML. As an immunotherapy, flotetuzumab may also cause changes in the body's normal immune system, which are also under study in this trial.
CAR T cells targeting CD19 have been approved for patients with relapsed or refractory ALL, failing two or more prior protocols. Several institutional-based studies with other CAR T cells targeting CD19 have demonstrated outstanding response rates in patients with refractory disease, and the ability of CAR T cells to clear CNS leukemia. Nevertheless, these cases are sparse and have never been reported collectively. Here, we aim to retrospectively assess toxicity and long term outcome of patients treated with CAR T cells for CNS relapse of ALL.
This is a Phase 1/2, study evaluating IOV-2001 (Adoptive Cell Therapy) composed of autologous PBL (Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes) in patients with CLL/SLL, which has relapsed or is relapsing during treatment with ibrutinib or acalabrutinib.
The purpose of the study is to characterize safety and tolerability of cusatuzumab in combination with various therapies used to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
This trial will seek to extend the preliminary findings of efficacy of MBG453 in combination with hypomethylating agents (HMA) by evaluating MBG453 in combination with the HMA azacitidine and the Bcl-2 inhibitor venetoclax.
