Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if Procrit (epoetin alfa) will help decrease the need for blood transfusions in patients who have Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) or High-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and are receiving chemotherapy. Researchers also want to learn about the remission rates (rates of recovery) in patients with cancer who have received treatment with epoetin alfa. The safety and effectiveness of this therapy will also be studied.

The purpose of this study is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and to assess the safety and tolerability of MLN4924 (pevonedistat) in combination with azacitidine in treatment naive participants with AML who were 60 years of age or older.

This pilot phase II trial studies how well giving vorinostat, tacrolimus, and methotrexate works in preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after stem cell transplant in patients with hematological malignancies. Vorinostat, tacrolimus, and methotrexate may be an effective treatment for GVHD caused by a bone marrow transplant.

Study Title: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of the Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM) Intervention for Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer Study Population and Sample Size: Two cohorts of Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) patients with diagnosis of new or recurrent cancer between 1 and 10 weeks prior to enrollment: those ages 13-17 (N=50); (2) those ages 18-25 (N=50). Study Design: Pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT). Primary Objective: To test the efficacy of the "Promoting Resilience in Stress Management" (PRISM) among Adolescents and Young Adults with cancer. Primary Outcome: Change in patient-reported resilience (based on score of standardized Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale) at 6 months. Secondary Outcomes: Patient-reported resilience at 2, 4, and 12 months Patient-reported self-efficacy, benefit-finding, psychological distress, quality of life, and health-behaviors at 6 and 12 months. Qualitative assessment of patient-reported goals at 6 and 12 months Development of a cohort of AYA cancer survivors for assessment of long-term psychosocial outcomes Study Duration: 3 years

Phase II trial evaluating the safety & efficacy of Atorvastatin for prophylaxis of Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) in patients with hematological malignances undergoing human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Matched Related Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT).

The study will include newly-diagnosed AML patients, not suffering acute promyelocytic leukemia; aged 18-60 years, who are eligible for standard induction chemotherapy. The patients will be randomized to one standard induction regimen (DAC or DA-90). At day seven after completion of induction, a bone marrow aspiration with MRD will be performed for an early evaluation of response to treatment. Patients without bone marrow blast reduction below 10% at day seven after induction will be given a second early induction course. Patients who do not achieve CR after two induction courses will be randomized to one of the standard salvage regimens (FLAG-IDA or CLAG-M). Postremission treatment intensity will be adjusted to risk group based on cytogenetic and molecular risk factors at diagnosis and AML biology (secondary AML, therapy related AML). Patients with a low risk of relapse will be allocated to consolidation, with three courses of high doses of Ara-C (HiDAC), or two courses of HiDAC with subsequent autologous stem cell transplantation. Intermediate- or high-risk patients will be referred for allogeneic stem cell transplantation, if they have a matched donor. Until transplantation, consolidation with HiDAC will be continued.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to study genetically engineered NK92 cell therapy in treating patients with CD33 positive acute myeloid leukemias that is relapsed (after stem cell transplantation or intensive chemotherapy) or refractory to further chemotherapy.

The vast majority of patients with AML will die of the disease, and no standard chemotherapy regimen were defined for patients with relapsed/refractory AML. Previous studies have confirmed the efficacy of cladribine in the treatment of AML, both de novo or relapse/refractory AML. Our previous experience has shown that Cladribine in combination of CAG (G-CSF priming, low dose cytarabine, and aclarubicin) are effective with tolerable toxicity profiling.Thus, this phase 2 clincial trial is going to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cladribine in combination with G-CSF, low-dose cytarabine and aclarubicin (C-CAG) in patients with refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal disease caused by genetic mutations in Hematopoietic stem progenitor cells. Unfortunately, advanced age (>60 years old) is considered to be one of the most important adverse prognostic factors for AML, and older patients are unable to tolerate high-dose chemotherapy, due to various complications and organ dysfunction. Based on the results of the previous research, we will carry out the pretreatment regimen of decitabine + cytarabine in elderly patients with AML who have achieved disease treatment through induction therapy, and continue the transplantation program of unrelated-blood cord blood. By assessing the patient's DFS,OS,RFS and safety to determine whether the regimen is suitable for the consolidation treatment of elderly acute myeloid leukemia, further clarify the efficacy of this regimen compared with traditional consolidation therapy, and initially confirm the effect of combined with unrelated cord blood transplantation in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficiency of CD123-Targeted CAR-T in Treating Patients with relapsed/refractory AML
