Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

Primary Objectives: To determine the feasibility of delivering autologous dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) lysate plus messenger RNA (mRNA) to AML patients following consolidation therapy. To determine the toxicity of autologous DCs loaded with AML lysate plus mRNA. To quantitate immune responses in patients who receive autologous DCs loaded with AML lysate plus mRNA. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate minimal residual disease following DC therapy using the polymerase chain reaction assay for the Wilm's Tumor-1 gene. To asses the disease-free and overall survival of AML patients who receive the autologous DCs loaded with AML lysate plus mRNA.

The investigators will use machine learning to identify features on bone marrow smears and select features that are related to gene mutations, gene expression, or prognosis. The investigators will then use genome-wide transcriptomic profiling to investigate gene expression that is associated with patients' outcomes. The investigators will design a next-generation sequencing panel with unique molecular index and assess its feasibility and robustness in detecting measurable residual disease and optimize the panel/platform/bioinformatic pipeline. Finally, The investigators will use machine learning to integrate bone marrow smear features, gene mutations, gene expression, and measurable residual disease to construct a comprehensive risk assessment system that is based on multi-omics data. The investigators believe that such a platform will help physicians to design the most appropriate treatment strategies for individual patients, not only advancing the concept of precision medicine but also improving patients' prognoses.

Assess the immunotherapy benefit of interleukin-2 in acute myelogenous leukemia treatment during lymphocyte recovery.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the multi-lineage hematopoietic chimerism for unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB) grafts pooled from two to three cord blood units. Also to evaluate the toxicity, and antitumor responses of pooled unrelated UCB transplants.

This pilot clinical trial studies infusion of expanded cord blood hematopoietic progenitor cells following combination chemotherapy in treating younger patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has relapsed or has not responded to treatment. 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. Chemotherapy also kills healthy infection-fighting cells, increasing the risk of infection. The infusion of expanded cord blood hematopoietic progenitor cells may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. This cellular therapy may decrease the risk of infection following chemotherapy.

The primary objective of the trial is to compare the two-year relapse-free survival (RFS) of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), presumed to be at high risk for relapse due to the presence of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) in their bone marrow at first complete remission (CR1), who receive either standard cytarabine-based chemotherapy or allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT).

This is a phase II therapeutic study of related donor HLA-haploidentical NK-cell based therapy after a high dose of fludarabine/cyclophosphamide with denileukin diftitox preparative regimen for the treatment of poor prognosis acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).

This study will collect tumor samples from people with cancers of the blood, bone marrow, or lymph glands for laboratory study of the biology of these conditions. Such studies contribute to a better understanding of cancer biology and to the development of new treatments. Planned studies include: Examination of individual cancer cells and to search for differences compared to other types of cancer and normal cells Examination of the chromosomes and genes in cancer cells and to search for differences compared to other types of cancer and normal cells Development of sensitive methods to detect small amounts of cancer that remain after treatment Search for new cancer proteins that might serve as targets for treatment Investigation of methods to develop cancer vaccines. Patients from >= 1 to 75 years of age with acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myelogenous leukemia, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and other hematologic malignancies may be eligible for this study. Blood or bone marrow samples will be collected when sampling is required for the patient's medical care. Cells from some individuals will be grown in test tubes, establishing cell lines or in animals, establishing xenograft models. (A xenograft is transplantation of cells of one species to another species.)

An observational, prospective study to describe the rates and predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with acute leukemia.

This is a single-arm, single-site run-in phase (six subjects) followed by a multicenter continuation phase (114 subjects), Phase IV study. Eligible subjects will be receiving CPX-351 as their usual medical care administered according to FDA approval, as a condition for participation.
