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

This is a retrospective observational research study to describe the characteristics and real-world clinical outcomes of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia receiving acalabrutinib in the United Kingdom (the EPIC study). Physicians treating chronic lymphocytic leukaemia patients with acalabrutinib, where the patients started treatment as part of the acalabrutinib Early Access Programme (EAP), will be invited to recruit patients. Clinical data will be extracted from the patients' clinical records in line with local laws. Data from this study will provide UK-specific real-world data on patients who were started on acalabrutinib as part of the UK acalabrutinib EAP.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most frequent form of leukemia in the Western World. The disease is characterized by the accumulation and proliferation of mature, monoclonal, CD5+ B-cells with specific immunophenotype in the peripheral blood (above 5x109/L), bone marrow and secondary lymphoid organs. Small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL) is characterized by similar tumor cells but without increased lymphocyte count. The management of these patients have considerably changed over the last decade. Indeed, beyond chemo-immunotherapy, multiple targeted therapies have been approved on the basis of phase 2 and randomized phase 3 clinical trials and have subsequently been used in daily practice. The management of patients with SLL is similar to that of those with CLL. In addition to therapeutic advances, the advent of new sequencing technologies has also identified CLL genetic features that are now being incorporated in patient routine evaluation. We here propose to set a large-scale prospective and non-interventional study including patients with symptomatic CLL/SLL with the aim to evaluate the real-world clinical management of these patients and to identify the impact of treatments and therapeutic trajectories on long-term outcome.

Phase 1 study comprised of open-label, dose escalation and expansion cohort study of P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 allogeneic T stem cell memory (Tscm) CAR-T cells in subjects with relapsed/refractory B cell malignancies

Mantle-cell Lymphoma (MCL) is a B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) with heterogeneous behavior,ranging from indolent phenotype to highly aggressive and drug resistant cases with dismal prognosis.Disease progression and drug resistance may be generated by Tumor Microenvironment (TME),owing that M2-like immunosuppressive tumor associated macrophages (TAM) are pathologically functional in providing survival signals to MCL cells-and TME is known to help mask tumoral cells from host immune system.Similarly, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a B-cell malignancy characterized by increased circulating number of mature B lymphocytes that eventually reside into bone marrow and lymphoid tissues as well.Higher number of circulating abnormal B cells is secondary to a balance between increased proliferation and decreased apoptosis activities,sustained by signals also deriving from TME.As a matter of fact,TME harbors different cell compounds and monocyte-derived Nurse-like cells (NLCs) resemble the M2-like macrophage immunosuppressive profile and turned out to be an important component able to interact with CLL cells, providing improvement of proliferation and survival.Recently, cancer-expressed CD47 was found to be involved in tumor immune escape through interaction with Signal Regulatory Protein-α (SIRP-α) expressed by TAM,being able to quench phagocytosis. Interestingly,"Don't Eat Me" signal (DEMs) blockade with anti-CD47 monoclonal Antibody (mAb) showed promising activity in pretreated NHL,through increase of phagocytosis by TAM.CD24 was also demonstrated to be involved in DEMs in solid cancer.As a matter of fact, tumor-expressed CD24 promotes immune evasion through its interaction with the inhibitory receptor sialic-acid-binding Ig-like lectin10 (Siglec-10),expressed by TAM with immunosuppressive phenotype (M2-like).In a preclinical model of CD24+ solid tumors (ovarian and breast cancer) the blockade of CD24-Siglec-10 interaction with anti-CD24 mAb showed improvement of TAM-associated phagocytosis in vitro and TAM-dependent reduction of tumor growth and increase of survival in vivo.It is worth mentioning that CD24 can be expressed in some phases of B-cell differentiation and both MCL and CLL derives from a B-cell precursor with upregulated CD24.In this setting,CD24 might play a critical role in the anti-phagocytic signal, since MCL and CLL represents a subset of B-cell malignancies with a considerable hostile TME with M2-like TAM,able to jeopardize anti-cancer immunity.Therefore, the possibility to boost innate anti-cancer immunity through this DEMs blockade could provide new therapeutic options to previous heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory MCL and CLL patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib + venetoclax (I+V) and ibrutinib monotherapy regimens in which dosing of ibrutinib is either proactively reduced or reactively modified in response to adverse events (AEs).

This study will enroll patients initiating Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitors without history of documented arrhythmia while on therapy using the Medtronic LINQ-2 insertable cardiac monitor (ILR). The incidence of new onset atrial fibrillation (AF) and other arrhythmia will be determined. Actions taken in response to device detected arrhythmia will be recorded.

This pilot study examines the safety and efficacy of anti-CD19 CAR T cells manufactured on-site in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory CD19+ B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or CD19+ B cell non Hodgkin lymphoma. Patients will undergo screening, leukapheresis (cell collection), lymphodepleting chemotherapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, followed by the anti-CD19 CAR T cell infusion. The lymphodepleting chemotherapy is administered over four days IV to prepare the body for the CAR T cells. The anti-CD19 CAR-T cells are infused between 2-14 days after the last dose of chemotherapy. This study is designed for participants to begin lymphodepleting chemotherapy during the CAR T cell manufacture and receive a fresh cell infusion on the day that manufacturing is complete. Some patients may need more time in between the cell collection and the CAR T cell infusion, therefore, the cells may be manufactured and frozen prior to administration. Patients will be followed for a year after the cell infusion on the study and for up to 15 years to monitor for potential long term side effects of cell therapy.

Background: Bruton s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) are used to treat a form of leukemia. But taking BTKi can also increase a person s risk of developing an abnormal heart rhythm. This can cause sudden death. In this natural history study, researchers want to learn how BTKi affects the heart. Objective: To identify and monitor the effects of BTKi on the heart. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older currently receiving or planning to receive BTKi. Design: Participants who have not yet started BTKi will have 2 required clinic visits: 1 before they start taking BTKi, and 1 about 6 months later. Participants who are already taking BTKi will have 1 required visit. Participants will undergo multiple tests: A physical exam, including collection of blood and saliva. A test that measures heart activity via stickers placed on the chest. A test that uses sound waves to capture images of the heart. An exercise stress test that monitors heart activity and blood pressure while the participant works on a treadmill or stationary bike. Sound wave images of the heart may also be taken while the participant exercises. Stress magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be done in place of an exercise test. Participants will lie on a table that slides into a tube. They will be given drugs to stress the heart while images are taken. Participants may wear a device to monitor their heart at home. Participants may have repeat visits if they develop heart symptoms or if they need to stop taking BTKi. They will have follow-up phone calls each year for up to 3 years.

This is a single-arm, prospective study to assess the efficacy and safety of acalabrutinib combined with obinutuzumab in subjects with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
