Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

The addition of ponatinib to mini-hyper-CVD chemotherapy and venetoclax will improve the complete remission rate in patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

This phase II trial tests whether acalabrutinib in combination with venetoclax or obinutuzumab works to shrink tumors in patients with treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia . Acalabrutinib is also an inhibitor that works in the body to block the activation of certain cells that lead to the growth of cancerous B cells. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Obinutuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving acalabrutinib in combination with venetoclax or obinutuzumab may help ease symptoms, decrease the amount of cancer suggestive of improvement, prolonged disease-free remission and/or survival, and increased knowledge about cancer treatment in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Patients will be treated with acalabrutinib for 12 cycles, and then randomized to receive 6 cycles of acalabrutinib plus obinutuzumab or acalabrutinib plus venetoclax.

This study is a multi-center, open-label, single-arm, non-randomized phase II clinical study in order to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Orelabrutinib, Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide, and Obinutuzumab (GA-101) (oFCG) in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) / Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL)

This study is an observational study on the efficacy and safety of auto-HSCT in adult patients with Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia who received TCCA conditioning regimen. The study plans to include 28 patients who received the TCCA regimen for pre-transplantation pretreatment before auto-HSCT. Maintenance treatment will be carried out after transplantation for 1 year to observe the efficacy and safety.

This is a single-arm, single-center, interventional, dose-escalation clinical study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of QH103 Cell Injection in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving romidepsin before and after a stem cell transplant in combination with fludarabine and busulfan can help to control leukemia or lymphoma. Researchers also want to learn the highest tolerable dose of romidepsin that can be given with this combination. The safety of this combination and the safety of giving romidepsin after a stem cell transplant will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Romidepsin is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of CTCL in patients who have received at least 1 systemic (affecting the whole body) therapy before. Busulfan and fludarabine are FDA approved and commercially available for use with a stem cell transplant. The use of the combination of romidepsin, busulfan, and fludarabine to treat the type of leukemia or lymphoma you have is considered investigational. Up to 30 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way is effective at fighting cancer. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are proteins that protect the body from disease caused by bacteria or toxic substances. Antibodies work by binding those bacteria or substances, which stops them from growing and causing bad effects. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells, including tumor cells or cells that are infected. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers. They both have shown promise, but neither alone has been sufficient to cure most patients. This study combines both T cells and antibodies to try to create a more effective treatment. This investigational treatment is called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells targeted against the CD19 antigen (ATLCAR.CD19) administration. In previous studies, it has been shown that a new gene can be put into T cells that will increase their ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. A gene is a unit of DNA. Genes make up the chemical structure carrying the genetic information that may determine human characteristics (i.e., eye color, height and sex). The new gene that is put in the T cells makes a piece of an antibody called anti-CD19. This antibody can flow through the blood and can find and stick to leukemia cells because these leukemia cells have a substance on their surface called CD19. Anti-CD19 antibodies have been used to treat people with leukemia but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. For this study, the anti-CD19 antibody has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood a piece of it is now joined to the surface of the T cells. Only the part of the antibody that sticks to the leukemia cells is attached to the T cells instead of the entire antibody. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. These CD19 chimeric (combination) receptor-activated T cells kill some of the tumor, but they do not last very long in the body and so their chances of fighting the cancer are unknown. Preliminary results of giving ATLCAR.CD19 cells to leukemia patients have been encouraging; however, many subjects receiving this treatment have experienced unwanted side effects including neurotoxicity and/or cytokine release syndrome (also referred to as cytokine storm or an infusion reaction). Cytokines are small proteins that interreact as e signals to other cells and are the way cells talk to one another. During cytokine release syndrome, too many cytokines are released and too many cells in your body react to their release. Symptoms resulting from cytokine release syndrome vary from flu-like symptoms to more severe side effects such as cardiac arrest, multi-system organ failure or death. We predict that about 50% of patients on this study will experience mild to severe cytokine release syndrome. To help reduce cytokine release syndrome symptoms in future patients, a safety switch has been added to the ATLCAR.CD19 cells that can cause the cells to become dormant or "go to sleep". The safety switch is called inducible caspase 9 or iC9. The modified ATLCAR.CD19 cells with the safety switch are referred to as iC9-CAR19 cells. The purpose of this study is to determine whether receiving the iC9-CAR19 cells is safe and tolerable (there are not too many unwanted effects). Researchers has previously tested different doses of the iC9-CAR19. An effective dose that had the least number of unwanted side effects in patients was identified. It was planned to test this dose in more patients to learn more about its effect in the body. This type of research study is called a dose expansion study. It will allow the investigators to collect more information about the effect of this dose in treating of certain type of cancer.

The purpose of this research is to find the best dose of genetically modified T-cells, to study the safety of this treatment, and to see how well it works in treating patients with B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or did not respond to previous treatment (refractory).

Patients eligible for this study have a type of blood cancer called T-cell leukemia or lymphoma (lymph gland cancer). The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No one way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease, antibodies and T cells, hoping that they will work together. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from bacterial and other diseases. T cells, also called T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells including 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. T lymphocytes can kill tumor cells but there normally are not enough of them to kill all the tumor cells. Some researchers have taken T cells from a person's blood, grown more of them in the laboratory and then given them back to the person. In some patients who have recently had a bone marrow or stem cell transplant, the number of T cells in their blood may not be enough to grow in the laboratory. In this situation, T cells may be collected from their previous transplant donor, who has a similar tissue type. The antibody used in this study is called anti-CD5. It first came from mice that have developed immunity to human leukemia. This antibody sticks to T-cell leukemia or lymphoma cells because of a substance on the outside of these cells called CD5. CD5 antibodies have been used to treat people with T-cell leukemia and lymphoma. For this study, anti-CD5 has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the T cells. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. In the laboratory, the investigators have also found that T cells work better if proteins that stimulate T cells are also added, such as one called CD28. Adding the CD28 makes the cells grow better and last longer in the body, thus giving the cells a better chance of killing the leukemia or lymphoma cells. In this study investigators are going to attach the CD5 chimeric receptor with CD28 added to it to the patient's T cells or the previous bone marrow transplant donor's T cells. The investigators will then test how long the cells last. The decision to use the bone marrow transplant donor's T cells instead of the patient's will be based on 1) whether there is an available and willing donor and 2) the likelihood of the patient's T cells being able to grow in the lab. These CD5 chimeric receptor T cells with CD28 are investigational products not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

This study has two phases, Phase I and Phase II. The main goal of the Phase I portion of this research study is to see what doses post-transplant inotuzumab ozogamicin can safely be given to subjects without having too many side effects. The Phase II portion of this study is to see what side effects are seen with medication after transplant. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a combination of an antibody and chemotherapy which has been shown to have significant activity against relapsed/refractory acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). Inotuzumab ozogamicin is considered experimental in this study.
