Filter by:The protocol aims at adding GRASPA (L-asparaginase encapsulated in red blood cells, eryaspase) to standard chemotherapy (low-dose cytarabine) to treat patients older than 65 years diagnosed with AML and unfit for intensive chemotherapy.
Allocation: Non-Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Feasibility Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment Study to assess the feasibility and safety of the infusion of a T cells receptor (TCR) alfa beta depleted graft in pediatric patients affected by malignant and non-malignant hematological disorders and receiving an Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) partially matched family donor.
To study the safety and efficacy of anti-CD20 blockade with ofatumumab in the context of allogeneic HCT in CLL
This study is an open-label, single arm, phase II study of chlorambucil in subjects with previously untreated CLL. The primary objective is to evaluate the response to chlorambucil in Japanese subjects with previously untreated CLL. Secondary objectives are to evaluate efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of chlorambucil in Japanese subjects.
In this study, participants with high-risk hematologic malignancies undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), who do not have a suitable human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched related/sibling donor (MSD) or matched unrelated donor (MUD) identified, will receive a haploidentical donor HCT with additional natural killer (NK) cells. The investigators anticipate enrollment of 75 donors and 75 recipients. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: - To estimate the rate of successful engraftment at day +42 post-transplant in patients who receive haploidentical donor stem cell plus NK cell transplantation with TLI based conditioning regimen for high risk hematologic malignancy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: - Estimate the incidence of malignant relapse, event-free survival, and overall survival at one-year post-transplantation. - Estimate incidence and severity of acute and chronic (GVHD). - Estimate the rate of transplant related mortality (TRM) in the first 100 days after transplantation.
This pilot clinical trial studies brentuximab vedotin in treating patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis or mast cell leukemia. Monoclonal antibodies, such as brentuximab vedotin, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them
This pilot clinical trial studies the feasibility of having induction chemotherapy in an outpatient setting. Patients with acute leukemia (AML) or advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), at least 18 years of age will be examined. Treating eligible patients with induction chemotherapy in an outpatient setting may save in healthcare cost and improve a patients' quality of life.
This phase II trial studies how well daunorubicin hydrochloride, cytarabine, and nilotinib work in treating patients newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine, 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. Nilotinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving daunorubicin hydrochloride with cytarabine and nilotinib may kill more cancer cells.
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by a translocation between chromosome 9 and 22, leading to a pathogenic tyrosine kinase signal transduction protein. CML can be treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which inhibit BCR/ABL kinase, such as imatinib. In about 20% of CML patients who are treated by imatinib, a complete cytogenetic response cannot be achieved. The other two novel TKIs (dasatinib and nilotinib), achieve higher rates of complete cytogenetic response and they are proposed as second-line therapy for imatinib-resistant patients or for those who do not tolerate imatinib. Dasatinib inhibits BCR/ABL kinase in about >300 times in vitro in more than imatinib and also inhibits several other kinases, including the Src family. Src tyrosine kinase is crucial for potassium channel function in human pulmonary arteries. Imatinib and nilotinib do not inhibit the Src. Incident cases of precapillary PH have been reported in patients who have CML treated with the dasatinib. Improvements were usually observed after withdrawal of dasatinib. This study is designed to identify incident cases of dasatinib-associated PH and describe pulmonary vascular changes induced by dasatinib. As comparison population will be patients who receive another second-line TKI (nilotinib).
This randomized clinical trial studies liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351 in treating patients with untreated myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351, 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.
