Filter by:The scientific rationale for this study is the evolving understanding that iron-induced tissue damage is not only a process of progressive bulking of organs through high-volumes iron deposition, but also a reactive iron species related "toxic" damage. Iron mediated damage can occur prior reaching high iron storage thresholds derived from thalassemia major setting, free toxic iron species being already present when transferrin saturation >60-70% (25); therefore a timely early adoption of iron chelation may be of benefit before overt iron overload is seen. Our hypothesis is that early and low dose DFX-FCT is better tolerated and is able to prevent iron accumulation and consequently tissue iron related damage, by consistently suppressing iron reactive oxygen species (NTBI and LPI). If this hypothesis is confirmed this approach could contribute to an improvement of clinical practice of patients managements. Additionally this approach might also be a contribute in preventing future iron overloaded related complication, in this already frail and co-treated patient population.
This phase Ib trial determines if samples from a patient's cancer can be tested to find combinations of drugs that provide clinical benefit for the kind of cancer the patient has. This study is also being done to understand why cancer drugs can stop working and how different cancers in different people respond to different types of therapy.
This research study is studying a targeted therapy combined with chemotherapy as a possible treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The drugs involved in this study are: - Prexasertib (LY2606368) - Mitoxantrone - Etoposide - Cytarabine
This is a long-term follow up study evaluating the safety of BPX-501 T cells (rivogenlecleucel) and infused in pediatric patients previously enrolled on the BP-004 study.
A phase II study testing the efficacy of combined AZD1775 with AraC or single agent activity of AZD1775 in three arms: Arm A has subjects age 60 years or older who are newly diagnosed with AML receiving the combination of the drugs; Arm B has subjects who are have relapsed/refractory AML and HMA failure MDS patients being allocated to either the combination Arm B or single agent AZD1775 Arm C.
This study compares the safety and effectiveness of giving rivogenlecleucel (BPX-501 T cells) to patients with AML or MDS post haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant compared to post-transplant cyclophosphamide.
This is a phase I/II clinical trial on the use of total marrow irradiation (TMI) given concurrently with fludarabine, a chemotherapy drug commonly used to treat leukemia, as a myeloablative therapy for patients undergoing Allo-HSCT. TMI is a targeted technique to deliver radiation to the bone marrow while minimizing dose to other normal organs in the body. In phase I of the clinical study, the dose of radiation to the bone marrow will be incrementally increased to determine the highest tolerated TMI dose. In phase II, the effectiveness of the TMI-fludarabine conditioning regimen utilizing that dose of radiation will be studied. Acute and long-term toxicity data as well as quality of life data will also be studied. *Stopping criteria was met during the first dose level cohort in Phase l. The trial will not continue into Phase II as originally planned.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are heterogeneous malignant bone marrow disorders characterized by ineffective haematopoiesis, peripheral blood cytopenias and variable risk of leukaemia transformation. Anemia is the most common manifestation of bone marrow failure in MDS. After failure with first-line treatment by Erythropoietin, patients survive in average 5 years under long term blood transfusion. Modalities of blood transfusion are not clearly defined. Then, the objective of this randomized comparative multicentric study is to compare two modalities of threshold for transfusion: - Restrictive group: Hb < 80g/L and Hb maintain between 80 and 100g/L - Liberal group: Hb < 100g/L and Hb maintain between 100 and 120g/L
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of GSK3326595 in participants with relapsed and refractory MDS, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and AML. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part 1 will determine the clinical benefit rate (CBR) of GSK3326595 in monotherapy and Part 2 will be expanded to study GSK3326595 in combination with 5-Azacitidine which will be composed of a dose escalation phase followed by dose expansion cohort of GSK3326595.
The goal of this study is to see if the study therapy can decrease the chemotherapy-related side effects while maximizing the effectiveness of disease control. The physicians will also be studying the effect of removing T-cells from the donor"s stem cells before transplant. T-cells are a type of white blood cell that may help cause a serious side effect of transplant called Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD). The way it removes the T-cells from the donor stem cells is actually by selecting only the stem cells (called CD34 cells) by using a device called CliniMACS. This process is called CD34 selection. The CliniMACS® device is currently under the supervision of the FDA .
