Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of talazoparib given together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin and to see how well they work in treating patients with CD33 positive acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Talazoparib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Gemtuzumab ozogamicin is a protein (antibody) combined with a chemotherapy drug which specifically targets acute myeloid leukemia cells expressing a marker (CD33). Adding talazoparib to the gemtuzumab ozogamicin therapy may lead to an increased effectiveness in treatment.

This study is a phase I/II study of TJ011133 as Monotherapy and in Combination with Azacitidine (AZA) in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). This study include Phase I and Phase IIa study. Phase I study ClinicalTrials.gov ID is NCT04202003 and this is for phase IIa study. Phase IIa study is designed to preliminarily assess the efficacy and safety of TJ011133 in combination with AZA as first-line treatment in patients with newly diagnosed AML who are intolerant to standard induction chemotherapy or patients with treatment naive, intermediate and high-risk MDS.

Treatment options for older adults with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) and Myelodysplasia (MDS) are limited. Although stem cell transplantation remains one of the most effective treatments it is associated with severe side effects which have until recently prevented its use in older adults. In the last decade the use of reduced intensity transplants has allowed the extension of the potentially curative effect of transplantation to older patients in whom it was previously precluded. Although a major advance such transplants are associated with a high risk of disease relapse particularly in patients with high risk disease. This study will evaluate new transplant strategies with the aim of improving the outcome of patients with AML and high risk MDS after stem cell transplantation. Three approaches to improve transplant outcome will be studied: Comparing the new pre-transplant consolidation therapy vyxeos with the standard consolidation therapy (Randomisation 1 is now closed to recruitment). Comparing new conditioning therapies in patients under the age of 55 years Comparing new conditioning therapies in patients aged 55 and over All patients will be followed up for a minimum of 2 years.

This is a multi center two-stage, two-arm, open label phase II study of venetoclax in combination with azacytidine in acute myeloid leukemia patients selected for therapy with ex vivo venetoclax sensitivity screening. This study will characterize the usability of ex vivo drug sensitivity testing for patient selection for selecting the responsive patients for venetoclax therapy. The exploratory study will aim to find novel combinations for overcoming resistance as well as finding/validating biomarkers for both sensitivity and resistance.

Recent advances in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have been characterized by a better understanding of disease biology. As such, FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) have been recognized as conferring a poor prognosis. The FLT3-ITD molecular mutation is observed in about one-quarter of patients diagnosed with AML. Patients presenting with this abnormality are referred for early allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (allo-SCT). However, some data suggest that FLT3-ITD remains associated with a poor prognosis even after allo-SCT because of higher risk of relapse and strategies for preventing relapse in the post-transplant setting are required (Hu et al, Expert Rev Hematol, 2014). For example, in a large cohort of patients (Brunet et al, JCO, 2012), the incidence of relapse for FLT3-ITD AML patients after allo-SCT was 30% at 2-years, significantly higher compared to FLT3-ITD negative patients (p=0.006). Ponatinib (Iclusig®) is an orally available, tyrosine kinase inhibitor with a unique binding mechanism allowing inhibition of BCR-ABL kinases, including those with the T315I point mutation. Ponatinib also has in vitro inhibitory activity against a discrete set of kinases implicated in the pathogenesis of other hematologic malignancies, including FLT3, KIT, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), and platelet derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα). In vitro activity of ponatinib in AML has been already demonstrated (Gozgit et al, Mol Cancer Ther, 2011; Smith et al, Blood 2013). If some trials are on-going to test ponatinib alone or in combination with chemotherapy in FLT3-ITD AML (Clinical.trials.gov), no study is dedicated to the use of ponatinib in the post-transplant setting in order to prevent relapse in these patients. The main goal of this study will be to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MDT) of ponatinib after allo-SCT in FLT3-ITD AML patients, then to investigate the efficacy of ponatinib in a larger cohort of patients

This is a 2-part, open-label, interventional study conducted in approximately 42 subjects with AML harboring an IDH2 mutation. The overall study is a 3-arm investigation of the PK effects of enasidenib at steady state on the probe compounds. (Part 1), followed by treatment continuation up to 28 months (Part 2). Each arm utilizes different probe compounds; enrolls a separate cohort of approximately 14 subjects; and consists of 2 parts - investigation of the PK effects of enasidenib on the respective probe compound(s) (Part 1), followed by an enasidenib treatment extension (Part 2).

Eligible untreated patients with FLT3 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) between the ages of 18 and 70 will be randomized to receive gilteritinib or midostaurin during induction and consolidation. Patients will also receive standard chemotherapy of daunorubicin and cytarabine during induction and high-dose cytarabine during consolidation. Gilteritinib, is an oral drug that works by stopping the leukemia cells from making the FLT3 protein. This may help stop the leukemia cells from growing faster and thus may help make chemotherapy more effective. Gilteritinib has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients who have relapsed or refractory AML with a FLT3 mutation but is not approved by the FDA for newly diagnosed FLT3 AML, and its use in this setting is considered investigational. Midostaurin is an oral drug that works by blocking several proteins on cancer cells, including FLT3 that can help leukemia cells grow. Blocking this pathway can cause death to the leukemic cells. Midostaurin is approved by the FDA for the treatment of FLT3 AML. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of gilteritinib to midostaurin in patients receiving combination chemotherapy for FLT3 AML.

This phase I/II trial studies the effect of DS-1594b with or without azacitidine, venetoclax, or mini-HCVD in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or not responded to treatment (refractory). Chemotherapy drugs, such as azacitidine, venetoclax, and mini-HCVD, 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. DS-1594b may inhibit specific protein bindings that cause blood cancer. Giving DS-1594b, azacitidine, and venetoclax, or mini-HCVD may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The purpose of the study is to identify doses and schedules of VOB560 and MIK665 that can be safely given and to learn if the combination can have possible benefits for patients with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), Multiple Myeloma (MM) or Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). VOB560 and MIK665 are selective and potent blockers respectively of the B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) protein and of the myeloid cell leukaemia 1 (MCL1) protein, proteins that may protect tumor cells from undergoing cell death. VOB560 and MIK665 are designed to block the functions of the BCL2 and MCL1 proteins, so that the tumor cells that rely on these proteins undergo cell death. Preclinical data suggest that concomitant treatment with VOB560 in combination with MIK665 induces robust anti-tumor activity.

The overall aim of this study is to determine if epigenetic priming with a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (DMTi) prior to chemotherapy blocks is tolerable and carries evidence of a clinical efficacy signal as determined by minimal residual disease (MRD), event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS). Tolerability for each of the agents, as well as total reduction in DNA methylation and outcome assessments will be done to simultaneously obtain preliminary biological and clinical data for each DMTi in parallel. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the tolerability of five days of epigenetic priming with azacitidine and decitabine as a single agent DMTi prior to standard AML chemotherapy blocks. Evaluate the change in genome-wide methylation burden induced by five days of epigenetic priming and the association of post-priming genome-wide methylation burden with event-free survival among pediatric AML patients. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES Describe minimal residual disease levels following Induction I chemotherapy in patients that receive DMTi. Estimate the event-free survival and overall survival of patients receiving a DMTi prior to chemotherapy courses.
