Filter by:This phase II trials studies the effect of treosulfan-based versus clofarabine-based conditioning regimens before donor hematopoietic stem cell transplant in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia. Chemotherapy drugs, such as treosulfan, fludarabine, and clofarabine, 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 chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor hematopoietic stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into a patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and may help destroy any remaining cancer cells. This study may help doctors determine whether treosulfan-based or clofarabine-based conditioning regimen works better before donor hematopoietic stem cell transplant in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia.
This is a open label, phase I/II study. All patients are diagnosed with higher-risk MDS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AK117 + azacitidine in subjects with higher-risk MDS.
In a recent analysis of a large transfusion database (Transfusion Research Utilization, Surveillance and Tracking database [TRUST]), the investigators found that the transfusion of ABO non-identical RBCs to group A individual was associated with an increased risk of death in-hospital compared to patients transfused with ABO identical RBCs (Red Blood Cells). Our finding was corroborated in a separate study of low birth weight neonates who received only group O RBCs (e.g., group O neonates received ABO identical RBCs but group A, B, and AB neonates received ABO non-identical RBCs). A subgroup of neonates who received ABO non-identical transfusions had higher mortality (Z. Sohl, personal communication, April 30th, 2020). Similar adverse clinical outcomes have been reported in a number of studies where patients have received ABO non-identical RBCs and/or platelets. Together, these findings raise the concern that the longstanding policy of transfusing group O non-identical RBCs and platelets may increase the risk of harm for some patients. In Hamilton, Ontario hospitals, approximately 20% of transfused patients receive ABO non-identical RBCs every year because of inventory shortages, urgent requests, and specific phenotype requirements. The negative impact of this practice could have widespread national and international implications for transfusion policy. The ability to undertake critical exploratory analyses in transfusion medicine is enabled by large research and administrative data sets that include all Hamilton hospitals. The initial finding of potential harm with ABO non-identical RBCs is hypothesis-generating and requires confirmation through external datasets and translational studies to support a biological mechanism. If confirmed, this hypothesis can then be tested in a clinical trial.
This phase II trial studies the effect of adding pomalidomide to usual chemotherapy treatment (daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome) in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute leukemia with myelodysplastic syndrome-related changes. Pomalidomide may stop the growth of blood vessels, stimulate the immune system, and kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome, 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. Adding pomalidomide to chemotherapy treatment with daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome may be effective in improving some treatment outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed acute leukemia with myelodysplastic syndrome-related changes.
This phase I/II trial identifies the best dose of seclidemstat when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Seclidemstat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Azacitidine may help block the formation of growths that may become cancer. Giving seclidemstat and azacytidine may kill more cancer cells.
This study aims to use clinical and biological characteristics of acute leukemias to screen for patient eligibility for available pediatric leukemia sub-trials. Testing bone marrow and blood from patients with leukemia that has come back after treatment or is difficult to treat may provide information about the patient's leukemia that is important when deciding how to best treat it, and may help doctors find better ways to diagnose and treat leukemia in children, adolescents, and young adults.
Allo-HSCT is the most effective way to cure MDS and AML secondary to MDS. At present, the best conditioning regimen for MDS and AML secondary to MDS undergoing allo-HSCT remains in discussion. In this prospective study, the safety and efficacy of G-CSF+DAC+BUCY and G-CSF+DAC+BF conditioning regimens in RAEB-1, REAB-2 and AML secondary to MDS undergoing allo-HSCT are evaluated.
This phase II trial studies the effect of venetoclax together with busulfan, cladribine, and fludarabine in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who are undergoing stem cell transplant. Chemotherapy drugs, such as venetoclax, busulfan, cladribine, 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. Adding venetoclax to the current standard of care stem cell transplant regimen of busulfan, fludarabine, and cladribine may help to control high-risk acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax in combination with cedazuridine and decitabine (ASTX727) in treating patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia who have not received prior treatment (treatment-naive). Chemotherapy drugs, such as venetoclax, cedazuridine, and 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.
Background Hematological diseases are disorders of the blood and hematopoietic organs. The current hematological cohorts are mostly based on single-center or multi-center cases, or cohorts with limited sample size in China. There is a lack of comprehensive and large-scale prospective cohort studies in hematology. The purpose of this study is to analyze the incidence and risk factors of major blood diseases, the treatment methods, prognosis and medical expenses of these patients in China. Method The study will include patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, hemophilia, aplastic anemia, leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, lymphoma, bleeding disorders or received bone marrow transplantation in the investigating hospitals from January 1, 2020, and collect basic information, diagnostic and treatment information, as well as medical expense information from medical records. In its current form, the NICHE registry incorporates historical data (collected from 2000) and is systematically collecting prospective data in two phases with broadening reach. The study will use questionnaire to measure the exposure of patients, and prospectively follow-up to collect the prognosis information.
