Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myelomonocytic, Juvenile"

The primary objective of this study is: Response to treatment will be evaluated according to the revised International Working Group (IWG) categories natural history, hematologic improvement and cytogenetic response1;2. The primary objective is: To determine the rate of complete hematologic response and hematologic improvement (according to IWG 2006 criteria) in CMML patients treated with 5-azacitidine.

Blood and marrow stem cell transplant has improved the outcome for patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. However, most patients do not have an appropriate HLA (immune type) matched sibling donor available and/or are unable to identify an acceptable unrelated HLA matched donor through the registries in a timely manner. Another option is haploidentical transplant using a partially matched family member donor. Although haploidentical transplant has proven curative in many patients, this procedure has been hindered by significant complications, primarily regimen-related toxicity including graft versus host disease (GVHD) and infection due to delayed immune reconstitution. These can, in part, be due to certain white blood cells in the graft called T cells. GVHD happens when the donor T cells recognize the body tissues of the patient (the host) are different and attack these cells. Although too many T cells increase the possibility of GVHD, too few may cause the recipient's immune system to reconstitute slowly or the graft to fail to grow, leaving the patient at high-risk for significant infection. This research project will investigate the use of particular pre-transplant conditioning regimen (chemotherapy, antibodies and total body irradiation) followed by a stem cell infusion from a "mismatched" family member donor. Once these stem cells are obtained they will be highly purified in an effort to remove T cells using the investigational CliniMACS stem cell selection device. The primary goal of this study will be to determine the rate of neutrophil and platelet engraftment, as well as the degree and rate of immune reconstitution in the first 100 days posttransplant for patients who receive this study treatment. Researchers will also study ways to decrease complications that may occur with a transplant from a genetically mismatched family donor.

RATIONALE: Low dose deferasirox may be safe and effective in treating patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant and have iron overload. PURPOSE: This pilot clinical trial studies safety and tolerability of deferasirox in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients who have iron overload. Effect of low dose deferasirox on labile plasma iron is also examined.

To learn if adding venetoclax to the chemotherapy combination of tamibarotene and azacitidine is more effective than tamibarotene and azacitidine alone in treating higher-risk CMM

This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, two-part Phase I/Ib study of RP7214 in combination with azacitidine in patients with AML, MDS and CMML. Part I is a 3+3 dose-escalation study to identify the MTD/RP2D of RP7214 and azacitidine combination in patients with AML, MDS, and CMML. Part II is a dose-expansion study to evaluate the clinical activity and safety of RP7214 and azacitidine combination in AML.

This phase II trial studies how well 3 different drug combinations prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) after donor stem cell transplant. Calcineurin inhibitors, such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus, may stop the activity of donor cells that can cause GVHD. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cyclophosphamide and methotrexate, may also stop the donor cells that can lead to GVHD while not affecting the cancer-fighting donor cells. Immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), is used to decrease the body's immune response and reduces the risk of GVHD. It is not yet known which combination of drugs: 1) ATG, methotrexate, and calcineurin inhibitor 2) cyclophosphamide and calcineurin inhibitor, or 3) methotrexate and calcineurin inhibitor may work best to prevent graft versus host disease and result in best overall outcome after donor stem cell transplant.

The purpose of this study is to find out if a combination of drugs (these are called: cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil) will protect participants better against graft vs. host disease (GVHD) after receiving a hematopoietic cell transplant from a related partially matched (haploidentical) donor. As part of the treatment for their blood cancer, participants need a hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to improve their chances of cure. In any HCT, after the stem cell infusion is given, a combination of drugs is needed to prevent GVHD and facilitate acceptance of the graft.

The purpose of the study is to compare overall response rate (ORR) between treatment groups in participants with higher-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) who are not eligible for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT).

This is a two strata Phase 1b study to assess the safety and efficacy of bisantrene (RC110) in combination with a) cytarabine arabinoside (Ara-C) treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) with extramedullary disease and able to tolerate intensive chemotherapy; b) in combination with decitabine/cedazuridune (ASTX727) new or relapsed or refractory AML or high risk MDS or CMML with extramedullary disease and unable or not willing to have intensive chemotherapy.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of rivogenlecleucel, and how well it works, in treating patients with blood cancer that has come back (recurrent) after stem cell transplant. Donor T-cell therapy (rivogenlecleucel) may help control transplant-related infections after stem cell transplant.
