Active clinical trials for "Hematologic Neoplasms"

This phase I/II trial studies whether a new kind of blood stem cell (bone marrow) transplant, that may be less toxic, is able to treat underlying blood cancer. Stem cells are "seed cells" necessary to make blood cells. Researchers want to see if using less radiation and less chemotherapy with new immune suppressing drugs will enable a stem cell transplant to work. Researchers are hoping to see a mixture of recipient and donor stem cells after transplant. This mixture of donor and recipient stem cells is called "mixed-chimerism". Researchers hope to see these donor cells eliminate tumor cells. This is called a "graft-versus-leukemia" response.

FLAT-Auto is a phase II trial. fludarabine and ARA-C will be combined with the alkylating agent treosulfan (FLAT), to investigate the feasibility and the efficacy of a new regimen, supported with autologous peripheral blood SCT (PBSCT), as final postremission consolidation in AML/MDS elderly patients.

This is an open-label, extension protocol designed to allow patients to continue to receive belinostat treatment after they have completed the protocol-specified assessments and procedures in a Spectrum sponsored belinostat study and have not met the criteria for treatment discontinuation in those studies. This extension of belinostat treatment allowance is not a part of the primary efficacy assessments for those trials. The extension is intended to provide all possible benefits to patients who are having a positive response to belinostat and must be under the Investigator's care. The additional treatment is optional and voluntary.

A phase 1b, open label, multi-center trial of AB-110 in adults with hematologic malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and myelodysplasia (MDS) undergoing cord blood transplantation. Subjects will receive unmanipulated cord blood (UCB) and AB-110 expanded CD34 enriched hematopoietic progenitor cells (HSPC).

Sarcopenia is defined as reduction in muscle mass and function according to the criteria of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in older people. Initially described for elderly patients, it is also presented as a negative prognostic factor in overall survival in oncology in certain locations (lung, ENT pathways, colon, pancreas) and more controversially for hemopathies. Its screening by measurement of skeletal muscle mass by CT scan and / or PET scan against L3 and by physical functional tests is not routinely integrated despite international recommendations. Sarcopenia is one of the characteristics of patient fragility that can induce more complications, lengthen the average length of hospital stay and reduce overall survival. The PRONOPALL score, a predictor score for survival validated by a previous study, will be correlated with the presence (or absence) of sarcopenia at inclusion for patients with a solid tumor (breast, ovary, prostate cancer , kidney, lungs, pancreas, colorectal). A prospective study on 38 patients with metastatic cancer was carried out at the Victor Hugo clinic in Le Mans between 01/JUN/21 and 31/AUG/21 (SPACE, ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04714203): 25 patients were analyzable on the CT and PRONOPALL score data with a prevalence of sarcopenia of 60% and median overall survival of 14 months (unpublished data), clinical performance and muscle strength tests were not carried out (as in the publications cited above). A prospective study for the detection of sarcopenia is indicated by extending to blood diseases with the integration of clinical tests included in the initial APA (Adapted physical activity) assessment recommended for diagnosis.

Patients with hematologic cancer frequently report significant difficulties with sleep in the months after discharge from inpatient chemotherapy. Poor sleep quality can contribute to and perpetuate problems with daytime fatigue, pain, and distress that are common among patients with hematologic cancer. There is a need for behavioral interventions that address insomnia and daytime fatigue, pain, and distress once hematologic cancer patients have returned home after inpatient chemotherapy. Mindfulness-Based Therapy for Insomnia (MBTI) is a new approach to treating insomnia. This group-based intervention combines sleep restriction and stimulus control with mindfulness principles and exercises to reduce worry and promote positive responses to insomnia. To date, MBTI has not been applied to patients with hematologic cancer. If MBTI is to meet the needs of hematologic cancer patients, it must be adapted in several ways. First, because hematologic cancer patients are immunosuppressed, MBTI needs to be adapted for one-to-one delivery. Second, because hematologic cancer patients experience significant daytime fatigue, pain, and distress, MBTI needs to be adapted to include systematic training in coping skills for these symptoms. The investigators propose to develop and pilot test an adapted MBTI (MBTI+) protocol for hematologic cancer patients reporting insomnia, fatigue, pain, and/or distress after inpatient chemotherapy. The study will be conducted in two phases. In Phase I, the study team will use focus groups with hematologic cancer patients and hematology-oncology providers to guide development along with user testing with hematologic cancer patients reporting insomnia and daytime symptoms of fatigue, pain, and/or distress. Phase II will involve a small single-arm pilot to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and examine pre- to post-intervention primary (insomnia) and secondary (fatigue, pain, distress, mindfulness, self-efficacy) outcomes of the MBTI+ protocol. MBTI+ will consist of six, 60- to 75-minute therapy sessions delivered either in-person or via videoconferencing technology. Study measures will be collected at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 1-month post-intervention.

This study is designed to collect long-term safety and survival data from participants previously treated in an eligible Century-sponsored index trial. This is an observational study, and the elements of the study design allow for important follow-up for safety, survival, and the continued evaluation of any late adverse events (AEs) that may appear after treatment with such cellular products. Additionally, collection of persistence data from participants will support the identification of any long-term risks or late AEs that may be causally related to treatment with such cellular products.

This is an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation Phase 1/1b study in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)/MDS or non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), intended to investigate safety, pharmacokinetics, and the pharmacodynamic effects of FT-1101 administered via one or more intermittent dosing schedules alone and in combination with azacitidine. Once the MTD has been established for a treatment cohort, up to 20 additional patients may be enrolled in up to 4 expansion cohorts each of select populations of patients with either AML/MDS or NHL at the recommended dose for future studies to confirm safety.

This study examines the effect of a small molecule inhibitor to the Sonic Hedgehog pathway on select hematologic malignancies.

The purpose of this study is: To establish the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of intravenous busulfan (Busulfan®) in combination with fludarabine as conditioning regimen for transplantation with in-vivo T-cell depletion. To evaluate disease free and overall survival after this conditioning regimen in patients with advanced acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). To evaluate potential pharmacogenomic determinants of toxicity of this regimen. To evaluate potential pharmacogenomic determinants of efficacy of this regimen.
