Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin, can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining gemtuzumab ozogamicin with cytarabine may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining gemtuzumab ozogamicin with high-dose cytarabine in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Oblimersen may help gemtuzumab ozogamicin kill more cancer cells by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining oblimersen and gemtuzumab ozogamicin in treating older patients who have relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.

Tipifarnib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of tipifarnib in treating older patients who have previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia

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 relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia subjects.

The study aims to evaluate the occurrence, mortality, and risk factors for invasive mold infections (IMI) in children treated with chemotherapy for acute leukemia in Denmark. The study will be a retrospective nationwide survey study of all children who received first-line chemotherapy for acute leukemia from 2008 to 2022 in Danish pediatric oncology units. The study population will include approximately 800 children under the age of 18. Data will be collected from medical records, hospital databases, and national databases. When the IMI subgroup has been identified, this will be compared to the leukemic group that did not develop IMI. Statistical analysis can then determine the occurrence, mortality rate, and possible IMI risk factors.

The goal of this study is to pilot test an Electronic Health Mindfulness-based Music Therapy Intervention (eMBMT) intervention to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and reduce symptom burden of patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT).

Most of patients with acute myeloid leukemia achieved complete remission (CR) after primary induction chemotherapy, there were 20-30% patients without CR after first-induction. It was uncertain how to treat these patients. It was investigated in our study that these patients were re-induced with CLAG Regimen. The CR ratio, overall survival (OS) and relapsed-free survival (RFS) was statistically analysed in these patients.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow and is the most common acute leukemia in adults. This study will evaluate how well venetoclax in combination with azacitidine works to treat AML in newly diagnosed adult participants who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy in Italy. Venetoclax in combination with azacitidine is approved in Italy to treat Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in newly diagnosed adults who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. All study participants will receive venetoclax in combination with azacitidine as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Adult participants with a new diagnosis of AML will be enrolled. Around 150 participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 20-25 sites in Italy. Participants will receive venetoclax tablets to be taken by mouth in combination with azacitidine given by subcutaneous (SC) injection according to the approved local label. The duration of the study is approximately 18 months. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice and participants will be followed for 18 months.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of nivolumab that can be give in combination with idarubicin and cytarabine in patients with MDS and AML. The safety and effectiveness of this drug combination will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Nivolumab is not FDA-approved or commercially available. Idarubicin is FDA-approved and commercially available for the treatment of patients with AML. Cytarabine is FDA approved and commercially available for treatment of patient with AML. The use of these drugs in combination is investigational. The study doctor can explain how the drugs are designed to work. Up to 75 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Patients with de novo AML enrolled in the study. Patient who has a HLA-identical donor is assigned to receive NST therapy with GVHD prophylaxis and who has no HLA-identical donor is assigned to receive MST therapy without GVHD prophylaxis.
