Filter by:Erwinaze will be administered intravenously at a dose of 25,000 IU/m2 (dose cohort 0) for 6 doses MWF over a period of 2 weeks to 9 patients (as described below and in the following schema). Blood counts, chemistries including bilirubin, amylase and lipase, and coagulation studies including fibrinogen will be measured and reviewed before each asparaginase dose. Fibrinogen (<100 mg/dL) can be replaced with cryoprecipitate before each dose at the discretion of treating physician. Treatment will be stopped for elevation of amylase, lipase or direct bilirubin above normal range.
The purpose of the study is to explore the safety and efficacy of CLT-008 as an extra supportive care measure after induction chemotherapy for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of immune cells called natural killer (NK) cells that can be given with chemotherapy to patients with CLL. Researchers want to learn if adding NK cells will be effective in treating the disease. The safety of this will also be studied. NK cells may kill cancer cells that remain in your body after your last chemotherapy treatment. The NK cells will be separated from umbilical cord blood. The device used in the laboratory to separate the NK cells is called a CliniMACS. These separated NK cells will then be grown in the lab to increase the number of NK cells that can be given to you by vein. This is an investigational study. Rituximab, fludarabine, and cyclophosphamide are FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of CLL. Cytarabine, filgrastim, and lenalidomide are FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of other types of cancer. The use of cytarabine, filgrastim, and lenalidomide for the treatment of CLL is investigational. The use of NK cells is investigational. The NK cell process is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. Up to 44 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a diverse disease that is fatal in the majority of patients. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) however, a subtype of AML accounting for 5% of all cases, is very curable. APL cells are highly sensitive to the retinoid all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), which effectively differentiates the leukemic clone. Over 80% of APL patients can be cured with ATRA based therapies. For patients with non-APL AML, ATRA has little effect. Consequently, 85% of these patients will succumb to their disease despite conventional approaches. Little is known about mechanisms of resistance to ATRA in non-APL AML. This knowledge gap limits the use of ATRA in a disease that already has few effective therapies. The investigators' preliminary data suggest that non-APL AML cells can be re-sensitized to ATRA when combined with lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD 1) inhibitors. The investigators' publication in Nature Medicine showed that LSD1 inhibition with tranylcypromine (TCP), unlocked the ATRA-driven therapeutic response in non-APL AML. Notably, treatment with ATRA and TCP markedly diminished the engraftment of primary human AML cells in murine models, indicating that the combination may target leukemia-initiating cells (LIC). The investigators' data identify LSD1 as a therapeutic target and strongly suggest that it may contribute to ATRA resistance in non-APL AML. The investigators' central hypothesis is that ATRA combined with TCP will be safe and effective in a clinical population, and that this approach will suppress LICs and restore myeloid differentiation programs in patients with non-APL AML. Testing this hypothesis with the phase I clinical trial outlined in this protocol, will establish a new treatment paradigm in AML and extend the important anti-cancer effects of ATRA to all AML subtypes.
The extension study followed the core study CAMN107ECN02 (NCT01275196). which is an open-label, two armed study. All patients enrolled in this extension study were able to benefit from the treatment given in CAMN107ECN02 per investigator's evaluation. Therefore, in this extension study patient continued treatment of the drug (imatinib or nilotinib) which they were taking at the end of CAMN107ECN02. Treatment arms in CAMN107ECN02 were retained. As long as EC approval and agreement from investigators were obtained, the selected sites for CAMN107ECN02 were applied in this extension study.
Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a common and serious side effect of chemotherapy. Current management of FN is expensive and may induce side effects. Honey is a natural substance produced by honeybees. It possesses antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer effects. In addition, honey is not expensive. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 12-week honey consumption on children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) particularly with regards of FN episodes. This randomized crossover clinical trial included 40 patients of both sexes, aged 2.5 to 10 years. They were randomized into two equal groups [intervention to control (I/C) and control to intervention (C/I)]. The dietary intervention was 12-week honey consumption in a dose of 2.5g//kg body weight per dose twice weekly.
This multi-center, multi-arm trial is evaluating the safety and efficacy of tagraxofusp, a CD123-targeted therapy, in patients with either chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) or myelofibrosis (MF). There are two CMML cohorts, one enrolling patients with CMML (CMML-1 or CMML-2) who are refractory/resistant or intolerant to hypomethylating agents (HMA), hydroxyurea (HU), or intensive chemotherapy; and one enrolling treatment-naive patients with CMML (CMML-1 or CMML-2) with molecular features associated with poor prognosis. The MF cohort will enroll patients who are resistant/refractory or intolerant to approved JAK therapy (JAK1/JAK2 or JAK2).
This study is evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetic profile and efficacy of venetoclax under a once daily dosing schedule in Japanese participants with hematological malignancies.
Decitabine is a hypomethylating agent that has shown significant anti-leukemic effect in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (AML). This study is based on the hypothesis that Decitabine delivered after allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in patients with leukemia will enhance disease control by the allogeneic immune system and lead to a longer disease free survival. The study is designed to provide safety data of low-dosing in the post-transplant setting.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ibrutinib in combination with obinutuzumab compared to chlorambucil in combination with obinutuzumab based on the Independent Review Committee (IRC) assessment of progression free survival (PFS). Efficacy will be evaluated according to 2008 International Workshop for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) criteria with the modification for treatment-related lymphocytosis, in subjects with treatment-naive CLL or SLL.
