Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

The detailed molecular and cellular mechanisms underpinning the clinical activity of most chemotherapies in cancers remain incompletely understood. Understanding how these drugs really act is a prerequisite for their rational therapeutic optimization. Recent observations suggest that early molecular and cellular changes in cancer cells upon chemotherapy exposure may dictate their long-term fate. We aim to address this question in previously untreated adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients treated with anthracycline/cytarabine association (either as free drugs, '7+3' regimen, or in liposomal formulation, CPX-351) by sequentially sampling peripheral blood during the first course of therapy, and by performing an early bone marrow reassessment. We will apply single cell RNA sequencing and multiparameter flow cytometry to correlate dynamic phenotypic landscapes with clinical outcomes (remission achievement and relapse-free survival). The study will be carried in two phases. First, a feasibility phase will be carried in the first 20 patients irrespective of the genetic make-up of their leukemic cells to identify the optimal pre-analytical conditions for single-cell transcriptional profiling. Second, an expansion phase will be carried focusing on two genetically subsets of patients chosen on the basis of their relative abundance and variability of clinical outcome, namely NPM1c-mutated AML (30% of patients, 60% cure rate) and NPM1-wildtype intermediate-risk AML (25% of patients, 40% cure rate), to correlate single-cell fates with remission and with long-term remission-free survival.

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.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most aggressive blood cancers, with a very low survival rate and few options for participants who are unable to undergo intensive chemotherapy, the current standard of care. This study is to evaluate how safe lemzoparlimab is and how it moves within the body when used along with azacitidine and/or venetoclax in adult participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Adverse events and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lemzoparlimab will be assessed. Lemzoparlimab (TJ011133) is being evaluated in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and with azacitidine with/without venetoclax for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Study doctors place the participants in 1 of 5 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. Adult participants with a diagnosis of AML or MDS will be enrolled. Around 80 participants will be enrolled in the study in approximately 50 sites worldwide. Participants will receive lemzoparlimab (IV) once weekly (Q1W), venetoclax oral tablets once daily (QD) for 28 days (AML participants) or 14 days (MDS participants) and Azacitidine by SC or IV route QD for 7 days of each 28-day cycle. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests and checking for side effects.

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the white blood cells. It is fatal if not treated. Treatment for AML that has not responded to treatment (refractory) or has returned after treatment (relapsed) often do not work. Researchers want to see if an immunotherapy drug, combined with a less intense chemotherapy, may be able to help. Objective: To test if pembrolizumab, in combination with decitabine, is a possible treatment for people with relapsed or refractory AML. Eligibility: Adults 18 years of age and older with refractory AML or relapsed AML. Design: Participants will be first screened for eligibility. The study is counted in 21-day cycles. The initial phase of the study consists of 8 cycles. Participants may be in the study for up to 2 years if they are responding to the treatment. The first 3 weeks of treatment is usually done in the hospital. The rest may be done as an outpatient. Participants will get pembrolizumab at the beginning of each cycle through an IV. Participants will usually get decitabine by IV on days 8 12 and days 15 19 of every other cycle. Participants will give blood samples. Participants will have bone marrow exams. A needle will be inserted into the hip to extract cells from the bone marrow. Some participants may give a sample of saliva from the inside of their cheek. Some participants may give a small skin sample. The top layer of the skin is removed. Some patients may require leukapheresis before starting treatment. This is a procedure to remove leukemia cells in the blood stream.

Multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group study of guadecitabine vs treatment choice (TC). Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either guadecitabine or TC. TC options include the 8 high or low intensity, locally available regimens below; or Best supportive Care (BSC) alone: High intensity (intermediate or high dose cytarabine [HiDAC]; mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine [MEC]; or fludarabine, cytarabine, granulocyte colony stimulating factor [G-CSF], +/- idarubicin [FLAG/FLAG-Ida]). Low intensity (low dose cytarabine [LDAC], decitabine, or azacitidine). BSC.

The purpose of the clinical trial is to identify the maximum tolerated dose of SEL24/MEN1703 and to further investigate its safety profile in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

This research study is studying a combination of two targeted therapies as a possible treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has relapsed after initial treatment or did not fully respond. The name of the study interventions involved in this study are: Merestinib LY2874455

This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of engineered donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Using T cells specially selected from donor blood in the laboratory for transplant may stop this from happening.

This research study is studying a targeted therapy (a form of treatment that uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific types of cancer cells with less harm to normal cells) as a possible treatment for high-risk acute myeloid leukemia. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: Alisertib / MLN8237 Cytarabine / Cytosine Arabinoside Idarubicin / Idarubicin hydrochloride Daunorubicin (Can be used in place of idarubicin)

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.
