Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

The purpose of this trial is to examine the hematologic response rate of Exjade® in patients with AML and high risk MDS and chronic iron overload from blood transfusions. Deferasirox has been developed as an iron-chelating agent, and unlike deferoxamine, a previously developed iron chelator, deferasirox has the advantage of oral administration.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of selinexor (KPT-330) and to find the highest dose of selinexor (KPT-330) that can be given safely when it is combined with two chemotherapy drugs (fludarabine and cytarabine). This study will be done in two parts: Phase I and Phase II. The goal of Phase I is to find the highest tolerable dose of selinexor (KPT-330) that we can give to patients with leukemia or MDS, when it is combined with fludarabine and cytarabine. The goal of the subsequent Phase II portion of the study (insert NCT ID of SELHEM-2) is to give the highest dose of selinexor (KPT-330) in combination with fludarabine/cytarabine that was found in Phase I to be safe for children with leukemia or MDS. The investigators will examine the effect of this combination treatment. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Determine a tolerable combination of selinexor, fludarabine, and cytarabine in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies included acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: To characterize the pharmacokinetics of selinexor, when administered in tablet form, after the first dose and at steady-state, as well as in combination with fludarabine and cytarabine To estimate the overall response rate of selinexor given with fludarabine and cytarabine in patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies

This is a Phase I study with a conditional cohort expansion phase to evaluate the feasibility of, and to obtain preliminary efficacy data about, pretreatment with Azacytidine (AZA) for 5 days followed by fludarabine/cytarabine chemotherapy regimen in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients who are refractory to primary treatment or who relapsed.

Background: - Researchers are working to make stem cell transplant procedures safer and more effective. One complication of transplants is graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). This complication happens when certain white blood cells from the donor attack the recipient's own body. Researchers want to test a blood separator machine that may help remove more of the donor's white blood cells before transplant. They will study donors and recipients during stem cell transplant to see how well this process can prevent GVHD and other complications. Objectives: - To see if a new blood separator machine can improve outcomes of stem cell transplants. Eligibility: Individuals between 10 and 75 years of age who are having a stem cell transplant for leukemia or other blood-related cancers. Donors for the stem cell transplant. Design: Recipients and donors will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Donors will have two blood collection procedures. The first will collect only white blood cells, and return the rest of the blood. After the first collection, participants will have filgrastim injections to help their stem cells enter their blood. Then, they will have a second blood collection for the stem cells. Recipients will have radiation and chemotherapy to prepare for the stem cell transplant. They will then have the stem cell transplant with the donor cells that have been treated with the blood separator machine. Recipients will be monitored closely after the procedure. They may receive some of their donor's white blood cells if needed to fight serious infections. Recipients will have the regular standard of care after their transplant. Blood samples will be taken and any side effects will be monitored and treated.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a study drug called CPX-351. This drug has been tested in adults but not yet in children and adolescents. This study tests different doses of the drug to see which dose is safer in children and adolescents. Patients who have blood cancer are being asked to take part in this study . Blood cancers may include leukemia and lymphoma. Patients able to be in this study have already been treated with standard chemotherapy for their disease and the disease is still growing or has come back. CPX-351 is a drug that is not yet approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is only used in research studies like this one. CPX-351 is made up of two chemotherapy drugs that patients may have already received called cytarabine and daunorubicin that are now packaged together. Another purpose of this study is to collect blood samples for special research studies. Researchers want to study how much of the CPX-351 is in the body over time. These studies are call pharmacokinetic studies or PK studies for short. PK studies require the collection of several blood samples before and after participants are given the study drug.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is currently treated with chemotherapy by combining several drugs with different ways of inhibiting the cell growth. In this trial, standard chemotherapeutics that have proven their effectiveness for years, Ara-C and Idarubicin, will be combined with a new drug called Selinexor. Selinexor inhibits the growth of cancer cells by keeping certain proteins in the nucleus which control the cell growth.

This is a randomized, Phase-III, two-arm, open-label, multi-center study in adult patients with AML and NPM1 mutation ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. Sample size: 144 patients Investigator's sites: 50-55 sites in Germany and Austria (2-10 patients per trial site are expected to be included into the trial) Estimated treatment duration of an individual patient: 8 months (Follow-Up period per patient will last additional 2 years)

Leukemia cells can be killed by natural killer (NK) from HLA-I mismatched donor. The proposed study plans to realize an adoptive anti-leukaemic immunotherapy by infusion of HLA-I mismatched NK cells to treat poor prognosis acute myeloid leukemia patients. NK cells will be selected from HLA mismatch familial donor peripheral mononuclear cells by purification protocol. Before NK-infusion, patients received immunosuppressive chemotherapy.

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.

RATIONALE: Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill acute myelogenous leukemia cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-2 in treating patients with acute myelogenous leukemia that has relapsed following previous treatment.
