Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

This screening and multi-sub-study Phase 1b/2 trial will establish a method for genomic screening followed by assigning and accruing simultaneously to a multi-study "Master Protocol (BAML-16-001-M1)." The specific subtype of acute myeloid leukemia will determine which sub-study, within this protocol, a participant will be assigned to evaluate investigational therapies or combinations with the ultimate goal of advancing new targeted therapies for approval. The study also includes a marker negative sub-study which will include all screened patients not eligible for any of the biomarker-driven sub-studies.

This study is an investigator-initiated clinical trial (Phase II) using DSP-7888 for acute myeloid leukemia patients with 1st hematological complete remission (CR). DSP-7888 is a novel cocktail peptide vaccine designed to induce cytotoxic T lymphocytes that recognize Wilms Tumor Gene 1 (WT1) peptides.

INMB-INB16-002 is a Phase I open-label, dose escalation study of INKmune therapy in subjects with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with excess blasts without Auer rods (EB-1 or 2, or CMML 1 or 2) or subjects with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in complete remission.

Patients with high risk AML non eligible for an intensive treatment and for an allogeneic transplantation will be treated with azacitidine and venetoclax. The fourth, fifth and sixth injection of azacitidine will be followed by injection of haplo-identical lymphocytes (HLI). This is a single-center phase I study to identify the dose of HLI with the most tolerable toxicity. TheBayesian continuous reassessment method (CRM) will be used

The investigator is testing the addition of venetoclax to 5-azacitidine and vorinostat followed by standard chemotherapy to enhance treatment response in AML patients.

The main purpose of this study is to examine the outcome of a combined bone marrow and kidney transplant from a partially matched related (haploidentical or "haplo") donor. This is a pilot study, you are being asked to participate because you have a blood disorder and kidney disease. The aim of the combined transplant is to treat both your underlying blood disorder and kidney disease. We expect to have about 10 people participate in this study. Additionally, because the same person who is donating the kidney will also be donating the bone marrow, there may be a smaller chance of kidney rejection and less need for long-term use of anti-rejection drugs. Traditionally, very strong cancer treatment drugs (chemotherapy) and radiation are used to prepare a subject's body for bone marrow transplant. This is associated with a high risk for serious complications, even in subjects without kidney disease. This therapy can be toxic to the liver, lungs, mucous membranes, and intestines. Additionally, it is believed that standard therapy may be associated with a higher risk of a complication called graft versus host disease (GVHD) where the new donor cells attack the recipient's normal body. Recently, less intense chemotherapy and radiation regimens have been employed (these are called reduced intensity regimens) which cause less injury and GVHD to patients, and thus, have allowed older and less healthy patients to undergo bone marrow transplant. In this study, a reduced intensity regimen of chemotherapy and radiation will be used with the intent of producing fewer toxicities than standard therapy. Typical therapy following a standard kidney transplant includes multiple lifelong medications that aim to prevent the recipient's body from attacking or rejecting the donated kidney. These are called immunosuppressant drugs and they work by "quieting" the recipient's immune system to allow the donated kidney to function properly. One goal in our study is to decrease the duration you will need to be on immunosuppressant drugs following your kidney transplant as the bone marrow transplant will provide you with the donor's immune system which should not attack the donor kidney.

This is a Phase II pilot study to determine the efficacy of three fixed dose (1 x 108/kg) infusions of ex-vivo expanded human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical donor natural killer (NK) cells (haploNK) in children and young adults with high risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing HLA-haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplant (haploHCT) with a busulfan and cyclophosphamide-based myeloablative conditioning regimen and post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. The investigators will also demonstrate the feasibility of performing this trial in a multi-center study. The investigators hypothesize that the infusion of haploNK in this setting will facilitate immune reconstitution and decrease relapse rates and infectious complications without increasing GVHD, resulting in improved survival as compared to recent historical cohorts of haploHCT without NK cell infusion.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal neoplastic disease of the hematopoietic tissue associated with a mutation in the precursor cell of hematopoiesis, which results in a differentiation block and uncontrolled proliferation of immature myeloid cells. Anthracycline antibiotics have been an integral part of the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia since the 1970s. However, the clinical usefulness of anthracyclines is limited primarily by the high incidence of cardiotoxicity. According to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines for cardio-oncology, cardiovascular toxicity is defined as any impairment of cardiac function associated with anticancer treatment, as the term encompasses both a wide range of possible clinical manifestations and an etiological relationship with various treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy and treatment with targeted drugs. Cardiovascular toxicity can be acute, subacute or delayed, manifesting many years after chemotherapy or radiation therapy, involving a number of cardiac structures, which can lead to the development of heart failure, coronary heart disease, valvular heart disease, arrhythmias, including cardiac conduction disorders and diseases of the pericardium. Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is the negative effect of anthracyclines on normal cardiac activity due to their toxic effects on the heart muscle and the cardiac conduction system. Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity manifests as asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction in 57% of treated patients and restrictive or dilated cardiomyopathy leading to congestive heart failure (CHF) in 16% to 20% of patients. Anthracycline-induced congestive heart failure is often resistant to therapy and has a mortality rate of up to 79%. Thus, there is a need for early detection of cardiovascular dysfunction associated with chemotherapy treatment of acute myeloid leukemia in order to timely prescribe drug therapy. Purpose of the study To optimize the early detection of endothelial dysfunction and left ventricular myocardial contractility in patients with acute myeloid leukemia during chemotherapy treatment based on a comprehensive assessment of instrumental and laboratory research parameters. Expected results Based on a comprehensive analysis using laser Doppler flowmetry, stress echocardiography with the determination of global longitudinal strain of the myocardium, biochemical markers of endothelial damage and cardiac biomarkers, a correlation between violations of the contractility of the left ventricular myocardium and violations of the vasoregulatory function of the vascular endothelium will be revealed, which will allow developing an algorithm for early detection of cardiomyopathy and vascular complications in patients with acute myeloid leukemia during chemotherapy treatment.

This is a phase II, open-label, non-randomized, prospective study of haploidentical transplantation using KIR-favorable donors for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The relationship of KIR2DL1 polymorphisms to survival in children with these diseases undergoing any approach to allogeneic HCT during the study time frame will also be determined.

The purpose of this extension study is to provide venetoclax and obtain long-term safety data for subjects who continue to tolerate and derive benefit from receiving venetoclax in ongoing studies.
