Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of a chemotherapy regimen given by continuous intravenous infusion (CI-CLAM), and to see how well it works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) or other high-grade myeloid neoplasms. Drugs used in CI-CLAM include cladribine, cytarabine and mitoxantrone, and 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. Continuous intravenous infusion involves giving drugs over a time duration of equal to or more than 24 hours. Giving CLAM via continuous infusion may result in fewer side effects and have similar effectiveness when compared to giving CLAM over the shorter standard amount of time.

The investigators propose to study an Aflac-AML chemotherapy backbone prospectively to validate its use in all pediatric AML and to further evaluate the cardiotoxicity with this approach for low risk AML.

This is a research study to be done at multiple sites in participants with advanced acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that have a mutation in Fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 internal tandem duplications (FLT3-ITD). This study is to learn more about an investigational drug, quizartinib, being tested with the anti-cancer medicine CPX-351 (also called Vyxeos™), which is approved and widely used to treat AML. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and survival of patients receiving the combination of CPX-351 and quizartinib.

This research study is studying a targeted therapy combined with chemotherapy as a possible treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The drugs involved in this study are: Prexasertib (LY2606368) Mitoxantrone Etoposide Cytarabine

This is a pilot study to evaluate the usability and feasibility of a telehealth-delivered advance care planning intervention among 20 older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), their caregivers, and oncologists.

This is a Phase I dose-finding study of FT538 as monotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and in combination with monoclonal antibodies in multiple myeloma (MM). The study will consist of a dose-escalation stage and an expansion stage where participants will be enrolled into indication-specific cohorts.

Pediatric patients (<21 years at study entry) with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) will be treated with CD33*CD3 a bispecific antibody to investigate the safety and tolerability of the drug.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein when given together with cytarabine or vincristine liposomal in treating participants with acute leukemia that has come back or has not responded to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as recombinant ephb4-HSA fusion protein, cytarabine, and vincristine liposomal, 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. Giving the drugs in different combinations may kill more cancer cells.

The outcome of HMA-refractory patients with MDS or AML is dismal with a median survival of 5 months after failure, representing a significant unmet medical need due to the very limited treatment options. In this context, a specific targeting of the leukemic stem cell (LSC) seems a promising option to selectively combat the leukemic progenitor cells. In fact, CD123 is overexpressed in AML and MDS progenitors making it an attractive target for immunotherapy-based approaches. JNJ-56022473 is a promising compound that has been engineered with regard to this strategy and the current phase II trial has the aim to evaluate the overall hematological response rate at 3 months in HMA refractory/relapsed AML and MDS patients.

The purpose of Phase I of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of the investigational drug, OTS167, and that of Phase II of this study is to confirm the potential response benefit of OTS167. OTS167 is a maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) inhibitor which demonstrated antitumor properties in laboratory tests. It is being developed as an anti-cancer drug. In this study OTS167 will be administrated to patients with AML, ALL, advanced MDSs, advanced MPNs, or advanced CML.
