Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab and dasatinib, imatinib mesylate, or nilotinib work in treating patients with chronic myeloid leukemia and persistent detection of minimal residual disease, defined as the levels of a gene product called bcr-abl in the blood. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Dasatinib, imatinib mesylate, and nilotinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and dasatinib, imatinib mesylate, or nilotinib may work better in treating patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.
This phase II trial studies how well autologous stem cell transplant works in treating patients with favorable or intermediate risk, minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative, acute myeloid leukemia. Giving chemotherapy before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill any cancer cells that are in the body. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. Higher dose chemotherapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.
This phase I studies the side effects and best dose of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation when given together with fludarabine and melphalan before donor stem cell transplant in treating participants with high-risk acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and melphalan, and total marrow and lymphoid irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Purpose: The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether a microfluidics assay can detect trace amounts of residual leukemia and predict relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in remission who have undergone allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) or Induction and Consolidation Chemotherapy (ICC) at the North Carolina Cancer Hospital (NCCH). Procedures (methods): A total of 40 eligible subjects will be treated per standard of care with either SCT or induction and consolidation chemotherapy (ICC) based on the appropriate AML treatment paradigm for their disease. Peripheral blood (10 ml) for microfluidic chip analysis and possible Immune Monitoring Core Facility analysis will be collected along with routine lab draws prior to SCT. Patients in remission after SCT or those with confirmed remission by bone marrow biopsy after induction chemotherapy will be followed for 1 year; and peripheral blood (20 ml) will be collected to assess MRD by standard methods or by microfluidic chip analysis on a monthly basis. In addition, bone marrow biopsies will be performed at the end of consolidation (typically 5 months from remission), and at 1-year post remission in non-transplant patients. In transplanted patients, bone marrow biopsies will be collected at + 30 days, + 90 days, +180 days, and +360 days after SCT.
The primary objective of this feasibility study is to determine if administration of LUM015 will result in positive fluorescence of tumor tissue from ex vivo specimen imaging with the LUM Imaging device from patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Both normal tissue and tumor tissue will be imaged and analyzed. The LUM Imaging System is a portable combination product consisting of an imaging device and an imaging agent (LUM015). Patients with an established diagnosis of prostate cancer and who are eligible for radical prostatectomy will be screened. Eligible patients will be enrolled and on the day of their planned surgery, LUM015 will be administered 2-6 hours prior to surgery. Patients will undergo radical prostatectomy 2-6 hours after LUM015 administration. All surgical specimens will be imaged with the LUM imaging device and have routine diagnostic assessment. Patients will be monitored for adverse events from time of injection through the first standard of care post-surgical follow-up visit.
This phase II trial studies how well inotuzumab ozogamicin works in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia with positive minimal residual disease. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody called inotuzumab linked to a toxic agent called ozogamicin. Inotuzumab ozogamicin attaches to B cell-specific CD22 cancer cells in a targeted way and kills them.
The purpose of this study is to provide expanded access to gilteritinib (ASP2215) for patients with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-mutated relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or with FLT3-mutated AML in composite complete remission (CRc: [complete remission (CR), complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp)]) with minimal residual disease (MRD) without access to comparable or alternative therapy.
BACKGROUND Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a systemic inflammatory disease with articular and extra-articular features. Establishing the prognosis of a patient with PsA is hence important to define the treatment strategy. Currently, observational and prospective cohort studies have identified prognostic factors correlating with the achievement of therapeutic response. Nevertheless, despite the importance of identifying prognostic factors in a disease with a functional disability comparable to rheumatoid arthritis, the studies are still limited. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE In PsA with clinically active joint disease starting a new course of therapy, to evaluate the additional value of UltraSound(US)-score over clinical examination in detecting patients achieving MDA at 6 months. STUDY DESIGN The study follows a multi-centre observational prospective cohort study design. PATIENTS AND METHODS INCLUSION CRITERIA - Adult > 18 years of age with PsA (PsA according to the ClASsification criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR) - with joint involvement) - At least one joint clinically involved (both swelling and tenderness); - prescription of new course of d NSAIDs (monotherapy), steroid intra-articular injections (monotherapy), conventional Disease-Modifying AntiRheumatic Drugs (DMARDs), biologic DMARDs, including switches or dose augmentations indicated by the treating rheumatologist according to usual clinical practice before US acquisition; - Stable treatment before treatment modification (6 weeks); - Signed informed consent form. CLINICAL ASSESSMENT Patient's clinical assessment will be performed according to the core set of domains for PsA proposed by the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) and Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT). ULTRASOUND ASSESSMENT Sonographic evaluations will be performed by expert ultrasonographers in 44 joints, 36 tendons, 12 entheses and 2 bursae according to the score developed for psoriatic arthritis by the study group ultrasound of the Italian Society of Rheumatology (US-score PsA-SIR) EXPECTED RESULTS AND SIGNIFICANCE The aim of this study is to identify clinical and US predictors of achieving MDA in PsA patients with active peripheral arthritis starting a new course of therapy.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of CD4+ and CD8+ HA-1 T cell receptor (TCR) (HA-1 T TCR) T cells in treating patients with acute leukemia that persists, has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) following donor stem cell transplant. T cell receptor is a special protein on T cells that helps them recognize proteins on other cells including leukemia. HA-1 is a protein that is present on the surface of some peoples' blood cells, including leukemia. HA-1 T cell immunotherapy enables genes to be added to the donor cells to make them recognize HA-1 markers on leukemia cells.
This is a non-randomized, open-label, multi-site study to collect safety and efficacy data on an intraoperative imaging system, the LUM Imaging System (LUM015 imaging agent in conjunction with the LUM imaging device), in identifying residual cancer in the tumor bed of female breast cancer patients. During the study, study physicians and clinical staff will complete hands-on training in anticipation of the upcoming pivotal study. Site-specific or user-specific issues related to the use of the device will be identified and addressed. Additionally, the data collected in the study will be used to continue training the tumor detection algorithm of the device. In this study, patients will be injected with LUM015 prior to surgery. The study physicians will perform lumpectomy procedures according to his or her institution's standard of care practice. After the main specimen removal is completed, the study physician will use the LUM Imaging Device to image the tumor bed. Therapeutic shaves will be removed based on the recommendation of the LUM Imaging System. Patients will be followed until their first standard of care post-operative follow-up visit.
