Active clinical trials for "Hematologic Diseases"

High-risk malignant hematological diseases refer to malignant hematological diseases, mainly include various types of leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, with very poor prognoses, very short survival, and unsatisfactory outcomes. Chemotherapy, hypomethylating agents (HMA), radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are common treatments for high-risk malignant hematological diseases. Because of the multiple lines and long duration of exposure to chemotherapy drugs in patients with high-risk malignant hematological diseases, monotherapy is inefficient, and radiotherapy is used frequently as an adjunct treatment to HSCT. Conventional myeloablative conditioning regimens before HSCT are comprised of cyclophosphamide/total body irradiation (Cy/TBI) and busulfan/cyclophosphamide (Bu/Cy). The reduced-toxicity myeloablative conditioning regimen, FBC, is the combination of Bu, Cy, and fludarabine (Flu), which has a strong immunosuppressive effect to ensure the success of engraftment of donor cells. Compared to the conventional intensified chemotherapy regimens, HMA have certain advantages of efficacy and safety and are the first-line treatment options for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although monotherapy improves survival rate, the response rate is low. What's more, it is difficult to achieve sustained remission and long-term benefits. The current research hotspots are HMA combined with chemotherapy, targeted drugs such as BCL-2 inhibitors, immunotherapy, and cell therapy. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy are effective, but show a high prevalence of relapse, heavy treatment burden, and the need for long-term maintenance. HSCT is an important therapy for the treatment of high-risk malignant hematological diseases, which could eliminate tumor cells through high-dose radiotherapy or chemotherapy, destroy the immune system of patients to prepare the engraftment of donor cells, and promote the reconstitution of hematopoiesis and immune recovery. HSCT has developed rapidly since the 1950s and has been performed in more than one million patients worldwide. HSCT is often the only definitive treatment available for patients with certain specific congenital or acquired diseases and is used in the treatment of many high-risk malignant hematological diseases. However, due to the strict criteria for HSCT, many patients do not have a matched donor. Since the first successful UCBT in a child with severe Fanconi anemia reported by Gluckman et al. in France in 1988, cord blood has been widely used as a graft source of hematopoietic stem cells for the treatment of hematological diseases. Cord blood is rich in hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and other stem/progenitor cells, as well as natural killer cells, Treg cells, and other immune cells, which have strong self-renewal and proliferation ability and low immunogenicity. The hematologic growth factors produced by these cells could act on the formation of myeloid cells and granulocytes, which are beneficial to hematopoietic reconstruction and recovery. It contains a variety of cytokines such as thrombopoietin, erythropoietin, stem cell factor, and multi-class interleukins. Some cytokines such as stem cell factor, IL-6, and IL-11 are much higher in cord blood than in peripheral blood. The potential mechanism by which UCBT exerts its therapeutic effect in patients with hematological diseases is largely the result of the interaction of multiple growth factors and stem/progenitor cells with the organism. Compared with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBST), UCBT has a higher transplantation rate, as cord blood stem cells are more primitive and purer than bone marrow stem cells. UCBT could be performed with four or more matches, and have a relatively lower rejection rate, lower relapse rate of malignant hematological diseases, and lower cumulative incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which greatly improves patient survival. Prof. Sun Zimin's team at Anhui Provincial Hospital was the first to use UCBT for the treatment of patients with AML and found that the cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD and relapse rate were significantly reduced. Based on the above, the TFBC regimen (TBI/Flu/Bu/Cy) combined with UCBT is safe and feasible for the treatment of patients with high-risk malignant hematological diseases, which has enormous potential to improve patient outcomes. Therefore, we designed this clinical study on the TFBC regimen combined with UCBT for the treatment of high-risk malignant hematological patients to observe the impact on the engraftment rate, relapse rate, the cumulative incidence of GVHD, and survival.

This is a single-arm, open-label, single-center, phase I study. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of CD7 CAR-T therapy for patients with CD7-positive relapsed or refractory T-ALL/LBL/AML, and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of CD7 CAR-T in patients.

In this study, the main goal is to implement and evaluate a novel, evidence-based psycho-educative program for children in oncological care. Patients are provided with booklets tailored to each specific stage of their treatment. Among other factors, children's emotional well-being is evaluated as well as feasibility. The study is carried out at multiple sites across Austria, Germany and Italy/South Tirol.

This is a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Miltenyi CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System to promote engraftment of haploidentical CD34+ selected cells combined with single unit umbilical cord blood transplant for treatment of high-risk hematologic disorders.

This phase II clinical trial studies how well treosulfan, thiotepa, fludarabine, and rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) before donor stem cell transplantation works in treating patients with nonmalignant (non-cancerous) diseases. Hematopoietic cell transplantation has been shown to be curative for many patients with nonmalignant (non-cancerous) diseases such as primary immunodeficiency disorders, immune dysregulatory disorders, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, bone marrow failure syndromes, and hemoglobinopathies. Powerful chemotherapy drugs are often used to condition the patient before infusion of the new healthy donor cells. The purpose of the conditioning therapy is to destroy the patient's abnormal bone marrow which doesn't work properly in order to make way for the new healthy donor cells which functions normally. Although effective in curing the patient's disease, many hematopoietic cell transplantation regimens use intensive chemotherapy which can be quite toxic, have significant side effects, and can potentially be life-threatening. Investigators are investigating whether a new conditioning regimen that uses less intensive drugs (treosulfan, thiotepa, and fludarabine phosphate) results in new blood-forming cells (engraftment) of the new donor cells without increased toxicities in patients with nonmalignant (non-cancerous) diseases.

To evaluate efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic profile of asciminib 40mg+imatinib or asciminib 60mg+imatinib versus continued imatinib and versus nilotinib versus asciminib 80mg in pre-treated patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP)

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of a cell therapy, T-allo10, after αβdepleted-HSCT in the hopes that it will boost the adaptive immune reconstitution of the patient while sparing the risk of developing severe Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD). The primary objective of Phase 1 is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) administered after infusion of αβdepleted-HSCT in children and young adults with hematologic malignancies. A Phase 1b extension will occur after dose escalation, enrolling at the RP2D for the T-allo10 cells determined in the Phase 1 portion to evaluate the safety and efficacy of infusion of T-allo10 after receipt of αβdepleted-HSCT. Additionally, Phase 1b aims to explore improvements in immune reconstitution. All participants on this study must be enrolled on another study: NCT04249830

A Study of CD 70 CAR T for patients with CD70 positive malignant hematologic diseases

The purpose of the CliniMACS® TCRαβ-Biotin System and CliniMACS® CD19 is to improve the safety and efficacy of allogeneic HLA-partially matched related or unrelated donors HSCT when no matched donors are available, to treat malignant and nonmalignant disorders for which HSCT is the recommended best available therapy. Initially this device will be used in a single-center, open-label, single-arm, phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of haploidentical PBSC grafts depleted of TCRα/β+ and CD19+ cells using the CliniMACS® TCRαβ/CD19 System in children and adults with hematological and non-hematological malignancies.

This is a phase 1/2, open-label study designed to assess the safety and clinical activity of different belantamab mafodotin doses in combination with lenalidomide, dexamethasone and nirogacestat in patients with transplant ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. This will be a 2-part study. In part 1 participants will be enrolled in one cohort to receive belantamab mafodotin in combination with lenalidomide, dexamethasone and nirogacestat and will determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) to be further evaluated for safety and clinical activity in the dose expansion cohort. The RP2D dose will be used in future studies in the transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) setting. In the dose expansion phase (Part 2) an expansion cohort will be treated with the RP2D. The expansion cohort will randomize participants (1:1) in two groups to evaluate two alternate dose modification guidelines for corneal AEs. Part 2 of the study will also evaluate an alternative dose modification guideline for corneal adverse events (AEs). Overall, approximately 36 participants will be enrolled in the study. Participant follow-up will continue up to 3 years after the last participant is enrolled (follow-up period range: 3-4 years). The estimated accrual period will be 12 months, corresponding to an approximate total study duration of 4 years.
