Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myelomonocytic, Chronic"

Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) is a group of blood disorders where the bone marrow does not produce enough mature red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. In a healthy person, the bone marrow makes blood stem cells (immature cells, also called 'blasts') that become mature blood cells over time. In people with MDS, this process is affected and immature blood cells in the bone marrow do not mature fully to become healthy blood cells. This causes a lack of healthy blood cells that can function properly. With fewer healthy blood cells, infection, anaemia, or easy bleeding may occur. MDS can progress to acute myeloid leukaemia in 25-30% of patients, and if untreated it can be rapidly fatal. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the standard treatment, azacitidine (Vidaza) given as an injection under the skin compared to the same medication (called CC-486) taken as a tablet by mouth. Vidaza is approved by the Australian Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA) as standard treatment for MDS. CC-486 is an experimental treatment. This means it is not an approved treatment for MDS in Australia. CC-486 is being developed to increase convenience and make it easier for patients to continue their treatment. So far it has been given to over 870 patients in studies across the world. The treatment in the injection and the tablet is the same. Studies like this one are being done to ensure the tablet works in the same way as the standard injected treatment. Vidaza is given by subcutaneous injection (ie under the skin) over an hour for 7 days every 4 weeks for as long as it continues to work. All study participants will receive active treatment (there is no placebo), and all participants will receive the standard injection for six treatment cycles followed by the new tablet medication taken once daily for 21 days every 4 weeks. This allows the researchers to compare the two ways of giving the medicine.

This phase II trial studies how well topotecan hydrochloride and carboplatin with or without veliparib work in treating patients with myeloproliferative disorders that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced), and acute myeloid leukemia or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan hydrochloride and carboplatin, 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. Veliparib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving topotecan hydrochloride, carboplatin, and veliparib may work better in treating patients with myeloproliferative disorders and acute myeloid leukemia or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia compared to topotecan hydrochloride and carboplatin alone.

This phase I/II trial identifies the best dose of seclidemstat when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Seclidemstat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Azacitidine may help block the formation of growths that may become cancer. Giving seclidemstat and azacytidine may kill more cancer cells.

This is an open-label, multi-center Phase 1 study of LY3410738, an oral, covalent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) inhibitor, in patients with IDH1 and/or IDH2-mutant advanced hematologic malignancies who may have received standard therapy

This is a prospective, open label, single arm, multi-centre phase II trial aiming to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Enasidenib (investigational product) as prophylactic consolidation in patients with IDH2-mutated MDS, CMML and AML in remission after allo-SCT.

This phase IIa trial studies how well guadecitabine works in treating patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome that has returned after a period of improvement after allogeneic stem cell transplant. Guadecitabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving guadecitabine before the transplant may stop this from happening. Once the donated stem cells begin working, the patient's immune system may see the remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them. Giving an infusion of the donor's white blood cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) may boost this effect.

This clinical trial studies the use of reduced intensity chemotherapy and radiation therapy before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine phosphate, before a donor stem cell transplant may help stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Reducing the intensity of the chemotherapy and radiation may also reduce the side effects of the donor stem cell transplant.

This is a single-center,single-arm,open-label phase I clinical study to determine the safety and efficacy of LILRB4 STAR-T cells in Monocytic Leukemia subjects.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of Reduced Dose Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in patients with hematologic malignancies after receiving an HLA-Mismatched Unrelated Donor (MMUD) . The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Does a reduced dose of PTCy reduce the occurrence of infections in the first 100 days after transplant? Does a reduced dose of PTCy maintain the same level of protection against Graft Versus Host Disease (GvHD) as the standard dose of PTCy?

It is hypothesized that significantly more patients would prefer oral decitabine/cedazuridine to subcutaneous (SC) azacitidine (AZA) due to several factors, including improved treatment convenience, the reduced risk of nosocomial infections, and reduced treatment discomfort. However, this hypothesis has not been formally studied in a controlled setting. This study aims to address this evidence gap and evaluate patient, primary caregiver (carer), and clinician treatment preference between oral decitabine/cedazuridine and SC AZA in the treatment of adult patients with International Prognostic Scoring System-Revised (IPSS-R) intermediate, IPSS intermediate-2, or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or low-blast (LB) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and thereby lend further credibility to the clinical, economic, and patient value of oral decitabine/cedazuridine.
