Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of the investigational drug PLX51107 in subjects with advanced solid tumors (including lymphoma), and advanced hematological malignancies
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of human cells. The growth of normal human cells is controlled by multiple mechanisms. Panobinostat belongs to a class of chemotherapy drugs called "histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors." HDAC inhibitors like panobinostat block enzymes known as histone deacetylases, which stops cancer cells from dividing and causes them to die. Fludarabine and cytarabine are chemotherapy drugs that are commonly used to treat pediatric patients with refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The purpose of this study is to test the safety of panobinostat and to find the highest dose of panobinostat that can be given safely when it is combined with fludarabine and cytarabine. This pilot study will be done in two parts: The goal of Part 1 of the study is to find the highest tolerable dose of panobinostat that can be given to patients with AML or MDS, when it is combined with fludarabine and cytarabine. Once that dose is determined, participants will be enrolled on Part 2: Dose Expansion, to look at the effect of the panobinostat/fludarabine/cytarabine combination in patients with leukemia/MDS. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: - Determine a tolerable dose of panobinostat when given in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory AML or MDS. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: - Characterize the pharmacokinetics of panobinostat after the first dose and at steady-state. - Estimate the overall response rate to the combination of panobinostat, fludarabine, and cytarabine.
Several previous studies (clinical and non-clinical) hypothesize that treatment with deferasirox causes a hematological improvement in transfused patients with low and intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndrome. The purpose of this study was to assess the presence of genetic biomarkers predictive for hematologic response by the use of gene expression profiling of bone marrow aspirates obtained from MDS patients with or without hematological response.
The study seeks to compare time from formal search to hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for patients 18 years and older, randomized between haplo-cord search and matched unrelated donor (MUD) search for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
Study CC-90002-AML-001 is an open-label, Phase 1 dose escalation (Part A) and expansion (Part B), clinical study of CC-90002, administered by intravenous (IV) infusion, in subjects with relapsed and/or primary refractory AML and high-risk MDS. The study will explore escalating doses of CC-90002 using a 3 + 3 dose escalation design in Part A, followed by dose expansion in Part B. The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of CC-90002 and also to define the non-tolerated dose (NTD), the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of CC-90002.
Purpose There is a growing evidence of high efficacy of post-transplantation cyclophocphomide (PTCy)-based GVHD prophylaxis in haploidentical and matched related and unrelated bone marrow transplantation. There is limitted, but growing data on safety and efficacy of this prophylaxis in unrelated and peripheral blood stem cell transplantations. Use of PTCy in chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms and myelodisplatic syndrome is of particular interest. On the one hand, PTCy could reduce the incidence of chronic GVHD and long-term bormidity. On the other hand, there is a concern, that PTCy can increase the incidence of graft failures in this group of patients. Currently published data indicate that low-dose Thymoglobulin-based prophylaxis is the most promissing compatitor in terms of acute and chronic GVHD control. So there is a rationale to randomize Thymoglobulin and PTCy as GVHD prophilaxis. Pre-transplant assesment of moratlity (PAM)-index will be used as the strata for randomization, as it is the paramter that takes into account the most important factors effecting survival. The conditioning regimen and the other two components of GVHD prophylaxis (mycophenolate mofetil and tacrolimus) will be identical in the two arms of the study.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if lirilumab and Opdivo (nivolumab), alone or in combination with Vidaza (azacitidine), can help to control MDS. The safety of these drug combinations will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Lirilumab is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes. Nivolumab is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of melanoma and non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Azacitidine is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of MDS. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 80 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
The study's primary objective [in a population of patients with MDS after failure of treatment with azacitidine (AZA) or decitabine (DAC)], is to compare the overall survival (OS) of patients in the rigosertib group vs the Physician's Choice group, in all patients and in a subgroup of patients with IPSS-R very high risk.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if pacritinib, either alone or in combination with azacitidine or decitabine, can help to control MDS. The safety of this drug and drug combination will also be studied.
This study will investigate the effects of sertraline in people with low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It is hoped that sertraline will decrease disease progression and reduce the need for blood transfusions.
