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

This clinical trial studies peripheral blood hemapoietic stem cell mobilization with the combination of bortezomib and G-CSF (filgrastim) in multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients.

By doing this study, researchers hope to learn the following: If providing hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy prior to an umbilical cord blood (UBC) transplant will help to improve the homing process The safety of HBO administration in the setting of the UBC transplant The effects of HBO therapy on the engraftment process

The goal of this research is to test if the conditioning regimen, fludarabine and total body irradiation (FluTBI), can lead to a safer and more effective stem cell transplant treatment regimen for ALL patients older than 40 years of age and/or younger patients with high risk medical conditions. The primary objective is to establish the efficacy of allo HCT in older ALL patients using myeloablative FluTBI conditioning regimen. The investigators are also assessing the safety and toxicity of allo HCT in older ALL patients using myeloablative FluTBI conditioning regimen.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with fludarabine phosphate, clofarabine, and busulfan in treating patients with acute leukemia that is under control (remission) or has returned (relapse) undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, clofarabine, and busulfan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving vorinostat together with fludarabine phosphate, clofarabine, and busulfan before a donor stem cell transplant may be a better treatment for patients with acute leukemia.

This is a single center, single arm, open-label phase II study to determine the efficacy and safety of a single infusion of autologous T cells expressing CD19 chimeric antigen receptors expressing tandem TCR and 4-1BB (TCR/4-1BB) co-stimulatory domains (referred to as CART-19 cells) in adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Inclusion criteria are designed to include adult patients aged greater than 18 with B cell ALL, relapsed or refractory, with no available curative treatment options (such as autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation) who have limited prognosis (greater than 12 weeks survival expectancy) with currently available therapies. The study product is CART-19 cells transduced with a lentiviral vector to express anti-CD19 scFv TCR:41BB administered by a single i.v. infusion of 1 to 5 x 108 transduced CAR T cells.

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy and ofatumumab work in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, doxorubicin hydrochloride, and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with ofatumumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving combination chemotherapy together with ofatumumab may be an effective treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with bendamustine hydrochloride and rituximab and to see how well they work in treating patients with lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or solid tumors that have come back or have not responded to treatment. Veliparib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving veliparib together with bendamustine hydrochloride and rituximab may kill more cancer cells.

Any time the words "you," "your," "I," or "me" appear, it is meant to apply to the potential participant. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if intensive chemotherapy (hyper-CVAD therapy) given in combination with liposomal vincristine (Marqibo), in addition to rituximab for patients who are CD20 positive and/or imatinib, dasatinib, or ruxolitinib for patients with the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, can help to control ALL or lymphoblastic lymphoma. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. CD20 is a protein "marker" that is found in leukemia or lymphoma cells. This is an investigational study. Liposomal vincristine is FDA approved for the treatment of patients with CLL who have relapsed at least 2 times. All of the other study drugs used in this study are FDA approved and commercially available. The combination of liposomal vincristine with the other study drugs is also being used in research only. Up to 65 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

The primary hypothesis of this research study is that patients in remission undergoing myeloablative haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) on the Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) 2 Step treatment regimen will have a disease-free survival (DFS) rate at 1 year that is the same or better than the historical DFS of patients with similar diagnoses and ages undergoing matched sibling HSCT. Based on a review of the literature a DFS rate of 50% or better at 1 year would meet the criterion for an effective alternative therapy. A DFS rate of 75% or better would imply superior efficacy of the TJU 2 Step approach over T-replete matched sibling HSCT.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safe dose of EPZ-5676, to evaluate the safety of EPZ-5676 in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies, and to conduct a preliminary assessment of the anti-leukemia activity of EPZ-5676 in patients with acute leukemias bearing rearrangements of the MLL gene. Currently this study is in the MLL-r restricted/expansion phase and is only enrolling patients with rearrangements involving the MLL gene, including 11q23 or partial tandem duplications (PTD).
