Filter by:This is a phase II trial of nivolumab and low dose cyclophosphamide (CTX) when given in combination to patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are not eligible for or decline hematopoietic stem cell transplant. It includes a randomized pilot sub-study during stage 1.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with azacitidine (an FDA approved drug for the treatment of MDS) and high dose ascorbic acid in patients with TET2 mutations. This approach is intended to enhance the enzymatic activity of TET2 protein, which in term may help to improve counts and symptoms, related to Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Acute Myeloid Leukemia. This combination is specific to individuals who carry this mutation.
This pilot study is designed to evaluate outcomes with the combination of CPX-351 salvage therapy and haplo-cord graft stem cell transplantation for subjects with relapsed or refractory AML or myelodysplastic syndrome.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) constitute a heterogeneous group of clonal bone marrow neoplasms that predominate in the elderly, with a median age at diagnosis of 70 years. MDS are characterized by peripheral blood cytopenia and morphologic dysplasia for one or more hematopoietic cell lineage, reflecting ineffective hematopoiesis. The diagnostic work-up of MDS includes a bone marrow aspirate and biopsy, which is an invasive procedure, for cytomorphologic and cytogenetic evaluations. Because the prevalence of disease is lower than 20% in subjects referred for suspected MDS, many patients are exposed to unnecessary bone marrow aspiration-related discomfort and harms. An objective assay is highly desirable for accurately ruling out MDS based on peripheral blood samples, which may obviate the need for invasive bone marrow aspiration and biopsy in patients with negative results. Few studies have investigated the value of peripheral blood flow cytometric analysis for the diagnosis of MDS and/or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Although promising, these studies lacked replication of their results, used a case-control design, which was prone to spectrum bias, or yielded imprecise diagnostic accuracy estimates due to relatively limited sample sizes. Anecdotal evidence supports the potential of flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood neutrophil myeloperoxidase expression for the diagnosis of MDS and CMML. Myeloperoxidase is an enzyme synthetized during myeloid differentiation that constitutes the major component of neutrophil azurophilic granules. Myeloperoxidase expression may reflect neutrophil hypogranulation, which is a classical although subjective dysplastic feature of MDS. Flow cytometric analysis of myeloperoxidase expression in bone marrow neutrophil granulocytes has been used for discriminating low versus high grade MDS. Yet a study reporting on the accuracy of flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood neutrophil myeloperoxidase expression for the diagnosis of MDS is still lacking, to our knowledge. In this study, the investigators hypothesize that flow cytometric analysis of neutrophil myeloperoxidase expression in peripheral blood may accurately rule out MDS and obviate the need for bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, with sensitivity approaching 100%, in routine practice. In this observational diagnostic accuracy study, burden will be null for recruited patients. No specific intervention is assigned to participants. All diagnostic testing, procedures, and medication ordering are performed at the discretion of attending physicians. Flow cytometry analysis of peripheral blood neutrophil myeloperoxidase expression will not require additional blood sample. A test result will have no impact on patient management. No follow-up visits are planned in this cross-sectional study.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib when giving together with lenalidomide in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, 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 ibrutinib and lenalidomide may work better in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401, poly ICLC, decitabine, and nivolumab in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401 is a vaccine that may help the immune system specifically target and kill cancer cells. Poly ICLC may help stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401, poly ICLC, decitabine, and nivolumab may work better in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia.
The main part of this trial is a phase II study of vosaroxin with azacitidine in older patients with newly diagnosed AML and intermediate or adverse genetic risk or MDS-EB-2. An initial safety run-in phase of the study will be performed administering the study drug vosaroxin with azacitidine in up to 18 patients. After completion of the run-in phase, toxicity and response data will be provided to the external Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) and the Trial Committee by the Coordinating Investigator. The Trial Committee will decide on the basis of these data and the recommendation of the DSMB on dose modification and the vosaroxin dose for the phase II part of the study, which will include 150 patients in total.
This protocol is a follow-up for patients receiving continuation of OPN-305 monotherapy treatment or combination treatment with azacitidine after completion of the dose confirming, dose expansion and HMA naïve parts of the main study OPN-305-106.
To investigate the efficacy of posaconazole as prophylaxis antifungal agent in aplastic anemia / hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome (AA/hMDS) patients undergoing antithymocyte globulin (ATG) treatment
Multicenter, randomized, open-label, crossover PK study of ASTX727 versus IV decitabine. Adult subjects who are candidates to receive IV decitabine will be randomized 1:1 to receive the ASTX727 tablet Daily×5 in Cycle 1 followed by IV decitabine 20 mg/m^2 Daily×5 in Cycle 2, or the converse order. After completion of PK studies during the first 2 treatment cycles, subjects will continue to receive treatment with ASTX727 from Cycle 3 onward (in 28-day cycles) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or the subject discontinues treatment or withdraws from the study.
