Filter by:This is a single arm, open-label, uni-center, phase I/II study to determine the safety and efficacy of an experimental therapy called BinD19 cells in childhood patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma, who are chemo-refractory, relapsed after allogeneic SCT, or are otherwise ineligible for allogeneic stem cell transplant.
Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a rare form of cancer found mostly among people from the Caribbean islands, Western Africa, Brazil, Iran, and Japan. Most cases of this disease in the United States occur along the East Coast due to emigration from the Caribbean islands. There is currently no standard treatment for ATLL. Research shows that patients who go into first time remission (respond completely or partially to treatment) and have a bone marrow transplant have the best outcomes. Traditional chemotherapy treatments have generally not worked well in patients with ATLL. Additionally, not all patients will be eligible for a bone marrow transplant. The purpose of this study is to see how well individuals with ATLL respond to an investigational cancer treatment. This investigational treatment combines a drug called brentuximab vedotin with a standard chemotherapy treatment made up of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, etoposide, and prednisone. This treatment is considered investigational because it is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of ATLL. Brentuximab vedotin, also known as Adcetris, is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of certain types of lymphomas, including peripheral T-cell lymphomas when combined with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone in patients whose cancer cells express a type of marker called CD30. Brentuximab vedotin is an antibody that also has a chemotherapy drug attached to it. Antibodies are proteins that are part of the immune system. They can stick to and attack specific targets on cancer cells. The antibody part of brentuximab vedotin sticks to a target called cluster of differentiation 30 (CD30) that is located on the outside of the cancer cells. Normal cells have little or no CD30 on their surface. ATLL cancer cells often have a larger amount of CD30 on their surface than normal cells. However, CD30 is found in different amounts on ATLL cancer cells. This study will also test the amount of CD30 found on each participant's cancer cells. Researchers will be looking to see if the response to the study treatment varies based on the amount of CD30 found on the outside participants' cancer cells. In another study, brentuximab vedotin was combined in another study with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone. The study included patients with various types of T-cell lymphomas. Two of the patients enrolled in that study had ATLL. Both had a complete response (no evidence of disease). The researchers in this study (LCCC 1637) have added etoposide to the combination of brentuximab vedotin with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone. They predict that the addition of etoposide will improve patient outcomes. Research shows that etoposide helps improve outcomes in patients with certain types of T-cell lymphomas who undergo chemotherapy treatment. This investigational combination of brentuximab vedotin with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, etoposide, and prednisone is called BV-CHEP.
This clinical trial studies how well simplified patient care strategy works in decreasing early death in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia. Implementing simplified acute promyelocytic leukemia guidelines along with support from acute promyelocytic leukemia experts may decrease deaths and improve survival.
The aim of the present EWALL-INO study is to confirm very promising results obtained with a combination of INO and mild chemotherapy in older de novo CD22+ B-ALL patients. For that purpose, safety and efficacy of a weekly INO administration combined to mild-intensity chemotherapy will be evaluated in a cohort of patients aged more than 55 years with newly diagnosed previously untreated Ph-negative (CD22+) BCP-ALL. Conversely to the MDACC miniHCVD-INO study and in order to lower the overall toxicity of the combination, INO will be given as part of the remission induction treatment phase during the first 2 treatment cycles only, in combination with corticosteroid, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and intrathecal prophylaxis only; then, all responding patients will received standard INO-free chemotherapy as consolidation and maintenance.
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose of sorafenib when given together with busulfan and fludarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment and who are undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Sorafenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as busulfan and fludarabine, 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. Giving sorafenib with busulfan and fludarabine may work better in treating patients with recurrent or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
Patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia often develop resistance to chemotherapy and some patients who relapse following CD19 directed therapy relapse with CD19 negative leukemia. For this reason, the investigators are attempting to use T-cells obtained directly from the patient, which can be genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to CD22, a different protein from CD19, expressed on the surface of the leukemic cell in patients with CD22+ leukemia. The CAR enables the T-cell to recognize and kill the leukemic cell through the recognition of CD22, a protein expressed on the surface of the leukemic cell in patients with CD22+ leukemia. This is a Phase 1 study designed to determine the safety and feasibility of the CAR+ T - cells and the feasibility of making enough to treat patients with CD22+ leukemia.
This study will evaluate the proportion of subjects with chronic myeloid leukemia chronic phase that sustain major molecular response after imatinib discontinuation. To be eligible for this protocol, the subject must have received imatinib as first line regiment for at least 3 years with sustained molecular response of 4log (RM4log) or higher for one year.
This phase II trial of the impact of clinicogenetic risk-stratified management on outcomes of acute myeloid leukemia in older patients is to determine the rate of complete remission and mortality at 90 days in the entire cohort of older patients (≥60 years) with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia, who receive clinicogenetic risk-stratified therapy allocation. Subjects will receive standard of care intensive or low-intensity induction based on cytogenetic and geriatric assessment-based risk stratification. Subjects will be evaluated for disease status, survival, quality of life and neurocognitive status for 90 days and then followed for a total of 2 years for survival data.
The aim of the current trial is to evaluate if combination treatment with venetoclax + ibrutinib in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (RR CLL) can lead to MRD negativity, which may induce long lasting remissions for MRD-negative patients randomized to stopping treatment after 15 induction cycles.
The standard approach to managing chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL) is to wait until you have symptoms before treatment is given. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if providing earlier treatment for CLL or SLL with ibrutinib in patients who do not have symptoms will be more effective than waiting until symptoms develop. This is an investigational study. Ibrutinib is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of patients with CLL or SLL. It is considered investigational to give ibrutinib to CLL and SLL patients before symptoms develop. The study doctor can describe how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 50 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
