Active clinical trials for "Immune System Diseases"

GSK-3β is a potentially important therapeutic target in human malignancies. The Actuate 1801 Phase 1/2 study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 9-ING-41, a potent GSK-3β inhibitor, as a single agent and in combination with cytotoxic agents, in patients with refractory cancers.

This phase II trial studies how well enasidenib and azacitidine work in treating patients with IDH2 gene mutation and acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Enasidenib and azacitidine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The overarching goals of this study are to measure levels of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with early stage diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), to assess the change in ctDNA during treatment in order to prospectively identify markers of treatment failure, and to use ctDNA as a future tool for response adapted therapy.

This phase II trial studies how well daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone followed by daratumumab, ixazomib, and dexamethasone in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has come back (relapsed) or does not response to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as daratumumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, 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. Bortezomib and ixazomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone followed by daratumumab, ixazomib, and dexamethasone may work better and help to control cancer in patients with multiple myeloma.

Trial Title: FiTNEss (UK-MRA Myeloma XIV) - Frailty-adjusted therapy in Transplant Non-Eligible patients with newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Overview: A phase III, multi-centre, randomised controlled trial to compare standard (reactive) and frailty-adjusted (adaptive) induction therapy delivery with the novel triplet ixazomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (IRD), and to compare maintenance lenalidomide (R) to lenalidomide plus ixazomib (R+I) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma not suitable for a stem cell transplant. All participants receive induction treatment with ixazomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone and are randomised on a 1:1 basis at trial entry to the use of frailty score-adjusted up-front dose reductions vs. standard up-front dosing followed by toxicity dependent reactive dose-modifications during therapy. Following 12 cycles of induction treatment participants alive and progression-free undergo a second randomisation on a 1:1 basis to maintenance treatment with lenalidomide plus placebo versus lenalidomide plus ixazomib. Participants and their treating physicians will be blinded to maintenance allocation. Participant population: Newly diagnosed as having Multiple Myeloma (MM) according to the updated IMWG diagnostic criteria 2014 (see Appendix 1 for criteria) Not eligible for stem cell transplant Aged at least 18 years Able to provide written informed consent Number of participants: 740 participants will be entered into the trial at Randomisation 1 (R1), with 478 participants at Randomisation 2 (R2). Objectives: The primary objectives of this study are to determine: Early treatment cessation (within 60 days of randomisation) for standard versus frailty-adjusted up-front dosing Progression-free survival (PFS, from maintenance randomisation) for lenalidomide + placebo (R) versus lenalidomide + ixazomib (R+I) The secondary objectives of this study are to assess progression-free survival (PFS) for standard versus frailty-adjusted up-front dosing reductions, time to progression, time to 2nd PFS event (PFS2), overall survival (OS), survival after progression, deaths within 12 months of R1, overall response rate (ORR), attainment of ≥VGPR, attainment of MRD negativity, duration of response, time to improved response, time to next treatment, treatment compliance and total amount of therapy delivered, toxicity & safety including the incidence of SPMs, Quality of Life (QoL), cost effectiveness of standard versus frailty-adjusted up-front dosing of IRD and cost-effectiveness of R + I versus R. Exploratory objectives are prospective validation of a novel frailty risk score (UK-MRA Myeloma Risk Profile - MRP), usefulness of Karnofsky Performance Status (PS), and association of molecular subgroups with response, PFS and OS.

The purpose of this study is to determine the correct dose and safety of adding a new cancer drug, Venetoclax, to a standard combination of chemotherapy drugs used prior to Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in participants with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). In this study, Venetoclax will be added to BEAM (BCNU or carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine or ara-c, and melphalan). All NHL participants are admitted for conditioning chemotherapy which is given prior to the infusion of stem cells. Venetoclax is a new anti-cancer drug that works by targeting a protein (known as the Bcl-2 protein). By inhibiting or "blocking" this protein, a downstream cascade occurs which results in cancer cells to die. Adding Venetoclax to the standard BEAM conditioning chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplant is believed to increase the chance of remission. Venetoclax is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, Venetoclax is investigational for this study because it is not yet approved for use in participants with NHL or in combination with BEAM chemotherapy.

This study will be done in people living with HIV to see if an investigational vaccine made from a person's own white blood cells is safe and tolerated. This study will also look at the body's immune response to the vaccine and evaluate four different methods of making the vaccine to see which method may result in better immune responses.

The main purpose of this Phase 2 double blind, placebo controlled crossover clinical study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of CXA-10 in obese adult asthmatics. Obesity induces a chronic systemic inflammatory state characterized by impaired adipokine signaling, pro-inflammatory cytokine responses, inflammatory cell activation and enhanced generation of oxidative inflammatory mediators. This impacts the lung, increasing the severity of asthma and its exacerbations. This research will evaluate how a synthetic nitro-fatty acid (CXA-10, 10-nitro-octadec-9-enoic acid) suppresses the systemic and airway inflammation that contributes to the obese asthmatic phenotype. Current data support the pleiotropic signaling actions of CXA-10 to induce adaptive signaling actions that beneficially modulate adipokine and cytokine expression and inhibit systemic and pulmonary inflammation. The investigators hypothesize that CXA-10 induced signaling responses will alleviate obesity-related airway hyperreactivity in obese adult asthmatics.

This research study is studying a combination of hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy as a possible treatment for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with a drug of your physician's choice. This may include leuprolide (Lupron), goserelin acetate (Zoladex), or degarelix (Firmagon). Docetaxel Nivolumab

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of M281 in participants with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA).
