Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell"

A chimeric antigen receptor gene-modified T cells (CART: 4SCAR19)by targeted the CD19 (cluster of differentiation antigen 19), treat patients with CD19 positive malignant B cells tumor, assess treatment safety, and observe therapeutic effects. At the same time,the change process of the CART and residual tumor status of the patient are observe dynamically， which summarizes the best therapeutic effect.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting CD19 will be evaluated for safety and efficacy in patients with B cell malignancy including lymphoma or leukemia.

This is a single-arm open-label phase I/II study to determine the relative superiority of αCD19-TCRζ-CD28 and αCD19-TCRζ-CD137 CAR-T Cells in safety, efficacy and engraftment potential in patients with CD19+ B-lineage leukemia and lymphoma. Recently, cancer immunotherapy, treatments aiming to arm patients with immunity specifically against cancer cells, has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. Clinical trials utilizing CARs against B cell malignancies have demonstrated remarkable potential. In this trial, all subjects will be competitively infused with αCD19-TCRz-CD28 and αCD19-TCRz-CD137 CAR-T cells in equal number to test a hypothesis that CD137-costimulation can promote the persistence and engraftment of CAR-T cells and this superiority can lead to improved progression-free survival.

In the conventional treatment options, B cell leukemia could be treated with chemotherapy drugs or HSCT. But chemotherapy could barely cured leukemia. And HSCT is often limited by lacking of HLA-matched donors, even if those patients who received HSCT still could be relapsed. And now, chimeric antigen receptor modified T cell infusion maybe an effective treatment to solve these problems. The investigators use a 2nd CAR- T with the optimized hinge and transmembrane domain to treat patients with relapsed or refractory B cell leukemia, including relapsed cases after HSCT. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of this 2nd CAR-T cells. At the same time, evaluating the possible and clinical responses of using donor-derived T cells engineered CAR-T cells. Detailed Description: This study is being conducted to assess anti-CD19-CAR-T cells safety and efficacy in treating patients with B cell leukemia. The investigators constructed a 2nd CAR, CD19 as target protein, 4-1BB as co-stimulator. And optimized the spatial conformation by a suitable hinge & transmembrane domain sequences. The source of T cells for CAR-T is from two aspects, one is autologous, the other is donor-derived (only suitable for patients received HSCT before and relapsed). The infusion dose is (1-5)×106 CAR positive T cells/kg, and the specific cells numbers depend on the situation of individual CAR-T cells preparation.

Relapsed and refractory B cell malignancies show unfavorable prognosis, especially for adult patients. Now, there is no standard management for these patients. Induced-T cell-like NK cells with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-ITNK cells) is a promising treatment option for treating B cell derived malignancy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAR-ITNK cells infusions in patients with relapsed and refractory B cell malignancies.

This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous γδT cells in patients with relapsed or refractory B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL), chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL) and peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) expect for γδT lymphoma.

Rationale New chemotherapeutic agents are needed in relapsing B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-CLL) to overcome resistance of CLL cells. Valproic acid (VPA) is an inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) used as an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug for decades. VPA mediates apoptosis in CLL cells through caspase activation. VPA shows toxicity toward CLL cells displaying alterations in the p53 pathway. The combination of VPA with fludarabine or 2-Chlorodeoxyadenosine (CdA, Cladribine) results in synergistic loss of B-CLL cell viability, and significant increase in apoptosis. The highest index of synergism is observed between VPA and CdA, a purine nucleoside analog active in B-CLL. Study design Overall, the study will be proposed to previously treated patients with advanced B-CLL, who are not eligible for aggressive approaches, and who exhibit progressive disease. A total of 33 patients will be included. Estimated enrolment time is 2 years. First part: It is planned to start therapy with single VPA during 2 months, targeting plasma levels that have been reported to be active in vitro toward CLL cells (but that do not exceed therapeutic levels in seizure prevention), and in parallel, to verify whether cellular targets of VPA have been actually inhibited in leukemic B-lymphocytes. Second part: After the VPA preloading period (2 months), patients will be evaluated to receive CdA. CdA will be given at 5.6 mg/m²/day intravenously during 3 days, a reduced-dose schedule which is less toxic - at no obvious cost of loss of efficacy - as compared to the standard dosage of 5 days. CdA was chosen because it displays the highest level of in vitro synergism with VPA. Four monthly courses of CdA will be given. Patients will then be evaluated. VPA will be stopped at the time of response evaluation (scheduled 28 days after the last course of CdA).

This is a multicentric, non-randomized, non-controlled open-label phase II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treosulfan in a combination regimen with fludarabine as conditioning therapy prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in patients with haematological malignancies. The aim is to demonstrate a clinical benefit compared with historical data on intravenous busulfan (BusulfexTM, BusilvexTM), the only drug so far registered in the indication conditioning before allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Valproic acid, as a single agent is effective in the treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia which has relapsed or is refractory to therapy with standard drugs.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Milatuzumab is effective in patients with refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and also to find out in which range of doses is a response seen.
