Filter by:Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the white blood cells. It is fatal if not treated. Treatment for AML that has not responded to treatment (refractory) or has returned after treatment (relapsed) often do not work. Researchers want to see if an immunotherapy drug, combined with a less intense chemotherapy, may be able to help. Objective: To test if pembrolizumab, in combination with decitabine, is a possible treatment for people with relapsed or refractory AML. Eligibility: Adults 18 years of age and older with refractory AML or relapsed AML. Design: Participants will be first screened for eligibility. The study is counted in 21-day cycles. The initial phase of the study consists of 8 cycles. Participants may be in the study for up to 2 years if they are responding to the treatment. The first 3 weeks of treatment is usually done in the hospital. The rest may be done as an outpatient. Participants will get pembrolizumab at the beginning of each cycle through an IV. Participants will usually get decitabine by IV on days 8 12 and days 15 19 of every other cycle. Participants will give blood samples. Participants will have bone marrow exams. A needle will be inserted into the hip to extract cells from the bone marrow. Some participants may give a sample of saliva from the inside of their cheek. Some participants may give a small skin sample. The top layer of the skin is removed. Some patients may require leukapheresis before starting treatment. This is a procedure to remove leukemia cells in the blood stream.
The purpose of this study is to see if ficlatuzumab when combined with cytarabine, a standard treatment for AML, is safe to give to patients and to determine the best dose to give. The study doctors want to see what effects, good and/or bad, the study drug has on subjects and their AML. The study will look at what side effects subjects may have and how subjects feel after receiving the study drug.
This research study is evaluating a drug called cabozantinib as a possible treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This research study is a Phase I clinical trial. Phase I trials test the safety of an investigational drug or combination of drugs. Phase I studies also try to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for further studies. This means that the FDA has not approved giving cabozantinib for use in patients, including patients with your type of cancer. The study drug cabozantinib works by inhibiting several different proteins which are believed to be involved in the growth and multiplication of the cancerous cells associated with acute myeloid leukemia. This drug has been used in other research studies and information from those other research studies suggests that this drug may help to prevent cancer growth. The primary purpose of this research study is to determine the highest dose of Cabozantinib that can safely be given without severe or unmanageable side effects. The dose identified in this study will be used in future research studies that seek to determine the role of cabozantinib as a treatment for AML.
