Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in Western countries, representing approximately 30% of all adult leukemias. There is a large difference in proportion of malignant lymphoma between the United States (US) and Japan was seen in CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) (Japan, 3.2%; US, 24.1%). The purpose of this study is to assess how well venetoclax works in combination with obinutuzumab (V+G, Cohort 1) or with ibrutinib (V+I, Cohort 2) in Japanese participants with previously untreated CLL/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL). Adverse events and change in disease activity will be assessed. Venetoclax is an approved drug for the treatment of CLL and SLL. Study doctors put the participants in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms, based on variable alternating assignment. Approximately 20 adult participants with previously untreated CLL/SLL will be enrolled in the study in approximately 20 sites in Japan. Participants in group 1 will receive oral venetoclax + intravenous (IV) obinutuzumab (V+G) in 28-day cycles for a total of 12 cycles, and participants in group 2 will receive oral venetoclax + oral ibrutinib (V+I) in 28-day cycles for a total of 15 cycles. 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.

This is a multicenter, 2-cohort Phase 2 study assessing both minimal residual disease (MRD)-guided discontinuation and fixed duration therapy with the combination of ibrutinib + venetoclax in subjects with treatment-naïve CLL or SLL.

This randomized phase III trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating young patients with newly diagnosed B acute lymphoblastic leukemia that is likely to come back or spread, and in patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-like tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sensitive mutations. Chemotherapy drugs, 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 more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving the drugs in different doses and in different combinations may kill more cancer cells.

This is a Phase I/II study of blinatumomab in combination with pembrolizumab in adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-lineage ALL (B-ALL). The primary objective of this study is to determine if the addition of pembrolizumab to blinatumomab improves the Complete Response Rate (CR) and Complete Remission with Partial Hematologic Recovery (CRh) relative to blinatumomab alone in adult subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with high bone marrow lymphoblast percentage (>50% lymphoblasts).

The investigators primary objective is to determine the safety and toxicity of incorporating blinatumomab into the post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) maintenance setting for patients with CD19+-B-cell malignancies (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia [ALL], Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma [NHL]).

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of total bone marrow and lymphoid irradiation when given together with chemotherapy before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute leukemia. Total marrow and lymphoid irradiation is a type of radiation therapy that targets bone marrow and blood, where the cancer is, instead of applying radiation to the whole body. Stem cell transplants use high doses of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, such as total marrow and lymphoid irradiation, to kill cancer cells, but these treatments kill normal cells as well. After chemotherapy, healthy cells from a donor are given to the patient to help the patient grow new blood cells.

Patients on this study have a type of lymph gland cancer called non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Their lymphoma or CLL has come back or has not gone away after treatment. Because there is no standard treatment for the cancer at this time or because the currently used treatments do not work fully in all cases, patients are being asked to volunteer to take part in a gene transfer research study using special immune cells. The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from infectious diseases and possibly cancer. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including cells infected with viruses and tumor cells. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers. They have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. The antibody used in this study is called anti-CD19. This antibody sticks to lymphoma cells because of a substance on the outside of these cells called CD19. CD19 antibodies have been used to treat people with lymphoma and CLL. For this study, the anti-CD19 antibody has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood it is now attached to T cells. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. These chimeric receptor-T cells seem to be able to kill tumors, but they don't last very long and so their chances of fighting the cancer are limited. Investigators found that T cells work better if they also attach a protein called CD28 to the T cells. This protein makes the T cells more active and survive longer. Also they found that T cells that are also trained to recognize the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis (called Epstein Barr Virus or EBV) can stay in the blood stream for many years. These CD19-CD28 chimeric receptor T cells and CD19 chimeric-EBV specific T cells are investigational products not approved by the FDA. The purpose of this study is to find the biggest dose of chimeric T cells that is safe to administer, to see how long each of the T cell populations (CD19-CD28 and CD19-EBV-specific) last, to assess what the side effects are, and to evaluate whether this therapy might help people with lymphoma or CLL.

RATIONALE: Using T cells from the patient that have been treated in the laboratory may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving laboratory-treated T cells together with cyclophosphamide may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This is a two-stage protocol, consisting of a single-institution phase I safety study and multi-institution phase IIa extension study.

This research study is evaluating a combination of two drugs, ibrutinib and obinutuzumab, as a possible treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).

The purpose of the study is to find out whether the combination of chemotherapy drugs that are routinely used in children with ALL, will be safe and effective in treating adult patients with ALL. The standard treatment for adults with ALL consists of many chemotherapy drugs that are given in different combinations and in several steps. In adult ALL there is no standard which drugs to give and how to combine them. Some leukemias have a chromosome abnormality called Philadelphia chromosome (also called Ph Positive) and some leukemias do not (called Ph Negative). In this study we want to see whether this combination of chemotherapy drugs will be safe and effective in treating adult patients with Ph Negative ALL.
