Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Some cancers become resistant to chemotherapy drugs. Combining mitomycin with a chemotherapy drug may reduce resistance to the drug and allow the cancer cells to be killed. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of mitomycin and mitoxantrone in treating patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and to determine whether mitomycin can reduce the cancer's resistance to chemotherapy.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with bone marrow transplantation may allow doctors to give higher doses of chemotherapy and kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective with or without bone marrow transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy with or without bone marrow transplantation in treating children who have acute myeloid leukemia.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of cyclophosphamide plus topotecan in treating patients who have refractory or relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of peripheral stem cell transplantation following chemotherapy in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia in second remission.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of gemcitabine in treating children who have relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myelogenous leukemia.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of CMA-676 in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first relapse.

Background: In combination with hypomethylating drugs, venetoclax has recently changed the therapeutic management of patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for whom standard induction chemotherapy was not an option. Over and above the clinical benefits of this combination, the data show that more than half the patients did not show remission criteria, even after the first month's exposure to venetoclax. Hypothesis: To compare the mean residual venetoclax plasma concentrations obtained in patients who went into complete composite remission versus those who did not go into remission at the end of the first cycle of venetoclax + azacitidine treatment. Method: According to the French law, this is a multicenter, non-comparative, open-label, single-arm, interventional study with minimal risks and constraints. Selection, information and inclusion will concern adult patients (≥60 years) with a confirmed diagnosis of AML according to ELN 2022 guidelines. Included patients will be treated as standard care with a combination of venetoclax+azacitidine. This research protocol will not modify their usual care.

The study proposes to correlate the plasma dosage of VEN with the inhibition of its Bcl-2 target during the first treatment cycle. VEN will be measured sequentially during the first treatment cycle and assess inhibition of its target by measuring the level of phosphorylation of Bcl-2 serine 70. In parallel, BH3 profiling will be evaluated sequentially. All these analyses will be correlated with treatment toxicity, response rate and overall patient survival. This pilot study will highlight the inter-individual variability of this AZA + VEN combination, and enable to launch a national study via the national cooperative groups to validate the results and thus ultimately propose a personalized treatment for patients benefiting from this combination.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of PLX51107 and how well it works with azacitidine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. PLX51107 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, 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 PLX51107 and azacitidine may work better than azacitidine alone in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.

The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and tolerability of gilteritinib given in combination with atezolizumab in participants with relapsed or treatment refractory FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutated AML and to determine the composite complete remission (CRc) rate for participants who either discontinued the study or completed 2 cycles of gilteritinib given in combination with atezolizumab. This study also evaluated pharmacokinetics (PK), response to treatment, remission and survival. Adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory results, vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status scores were also assessed.
