Active clinical trials for "Precursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma"

RATIONALE: Immunotoxins, such as anti-CD19 and anti-CD22, can find cancer cells that express CD19 and CD22 and kill them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of anti-CD19 and anti-CD22 immunotoxins in treating patients with refractory or relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Primary Objective: To determine the progression free survival (PFS) of the preparative regimen rituximab, etoposide and total body irradiation (TBI), in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Secondary Objectives: To determine the effect of rituximab on the incidence of acute graft vs. host disease (GVHD). To determine the efficacy of adding imatinib mesylate post transplant in ALL patients with the t(9;22)(q34;q11) cytogenetic abnormality. To estimate the probability of molecular complete remission at one year for the described treatment approach as determined by serial minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring. To determine the rate of GVHD, engraftment, toxicity, and overall survival (OS) for this treatment regimen.

Improved outcome of high risk lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with laite high dose therapy. High dose versus conventional therapy for adult low risk T-ALL and Lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL).

A Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Transplantation of a single cord blood unit (CBU) of NiCord®, umbilical cord blood-derived Ex Vivo Expanded Stem and Progenitor Cells in Patients with Hematological Malignancies.

B-precursor ALL is an aggressive malignant disease. Therapy is usually stratified according to risk characteristics to ensure that appropriate treatment is administered to patients with high-risk of relapse. In general, pediatric treatment regimens are more intense than those employed in adults and include courses of combination chemotherapy. Standard of care chemotherapy is associated with considerable toxicity. There is a lack of novel treatment options for subjects who relapse or are refractory to treatment. Therefore, innovative therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Blinatumomab is a bispecific single-chain antibody construct designed to link B cells and T cells resulting in T cell activation and a cytotoxic T cell response against CD19 expressing cells. This study will evaluate the event-free survival (EFS) after treatment with blinatumomab when compared to standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy. The effect of blinatumomab on overall survival and reduction of minimal residual disease compared to SOC chemotherapy will also be investigated.

This pilot clinical trial studies the safety and maximum tolerated dose of brentuximab vedotin when given with tacrolimus and methotrexate after unrelated allogeneic donor stem cell transplant in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndromes. The addition of brentuximab vedotin to tacrolimus and methotrexate may result in a significant reduction of graft versus host disease in these patients.

The primary purpose of this study was to determine the recommended dose (RD) of birabresib (MK-8628) /OTX015 for further phase II studies, in participants with acute leukemia (AL) including acute myeloid leukemia (AML; de novo and secondary to a myelodysplastic syndrome) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or other hematologic malignancies (OHM) including diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and multiple myeloma (MM). The first phase of the study will be a dose escalation phase to determine the Phase II RD using dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Once the RD is determined, participants will be enrolled in an expansion phase at the RD to determine preliminary efficacy in AL and OHM cohorts. Participants received therapy in 21-day cycles until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or treatment interruption for >2 weeks due to toxicity.

The primary objective is to evaluate the rate of complete remission/complete remission with partial hematological recovery (CRh*) in adults with relapsed/refractory Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who receive blinatumomab.

The survival of adult patients with standard-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) need to improve. We want to compare the efficacy of haplo-identical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with chemotherapy for adult(age:18-39 years old) ALL patients in first phase of complete remission (CR1)

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate an alternative myeloablative, but reduced toxicity conditioning regimen in children, to describe the safety and efficacy of intravenous (i.v.) Treosulfan administered as part of a standardised Fludarabine-containing conditioning and to contribute to the current pharmacokinetic model to be able to finally give age (or body surface area) dependent dose recommendations. The treatment regimens given in the protocol MC-FludT.17/M are based on sufficient clinical safety and efficacy data. Considering the vital indication for allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation of the selected patient population, the risk-benefit assessment is therefore reasonably in favour of the study conduct.
