Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

This is a single center pilot study of a non-myeloablative umbilical cord blood transplant for the treatment of a hematological malignancy with a single infusion of T regulatory (Treg) given shortly after UCB transplantation.

Relapse after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is high in patients with advanced AML, in the 50% range. NK cells have been shown to possess significant anti-leukemic activity and may be used to reduce the incidence of relapse in patients with advanced AML. Investigators hypothesize that the administration of a purified boost of NK cells on day +7 post HSCT, will reduce the incidence of relapse from the current 50% to 25%. In a phase III multicenter clinical study, 116 patients will be randomized to receive or not a boost of donor NK cells on day +7 post-HSCT. The first 10 patients in the experimental arm will be analyzed for toxicity. The stopping rule will be a transplant related mortality of more than 50% in the first 20 patients who received NK cells.

The study is a randomized phase III trial with a 2x2 factorial design with measurable residual disease and event-free survival as primary endpoints, respectively. Patients are upfront randomized for the two induction schedules (Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (GO)-147 versus GO-1; ratio 1:1) and for Glasdegib or Placebo (double blinded, ratio 1:1) as adjunct to consolidation therapy and as single agent 6 months maintenance therapy. Chemotherapy backbone for induction therapy is standard 7+3 with cytarabine 200mg/m² continuously day 1 to day 7, daunorubicin 60mg/m² days 1, 2 and 3 and for consolidation therapy intermediate dose cytarabine (1g/m², bi-daily, days 1,2,3). The trial is designed to gain evidence of anti-leukemic activity of GO and Glasdegib in older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

This study is a single institution phase I study for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia aged 12 years and older using 90Y-AHN-12.

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 present project aims at evaluating the capacity of MSC to improve one-year overall survival of patients transplanted with HLA-mismatched PBSC from related or unrelated donors after non-myeloablative conditioning. Co-infusion of MSC has been shown to facilitate engraftment of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) in an immunodeficient mouse model. In addition, it has been shown that infusion of third party MSC in HSC transplantation could be successfully used as treatment for grade II-IV steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease. One hundred and twenty patients with HLA-mismatched donors will be included over 6 years at multiple centers across Belgium through the transplant committee of the Belgian Hematological Society. The conditioning regimen will consist of fludarabine and 2 Gy TBI, followed by the infusion of donor HSC. Patients will be randomized 1/1 in double-blind fashion to receive or not MSC (1.5-.3.0 x106/kg) from third-party (either haploidentical family members or unrelated volunteer) donors on day 0. Postgrafting immunosuppression will combine tacrolimus and MMF. Except for the collection, expansion and infusion of MSC, the clinical management of the patient will not differ from that of routine NM-HCT.

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.

This is an open-label, multicenter, randomised phase 3b clinical trial of Imatinib 400 to 800 mg daily versus Nilotinib 300 mg two times daily in chronic phase CML patients with confirmed MMR without MR4.5

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

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.
