Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematological malignancy in children (<18 years). The success of pediatric ALL therapy is remarkable but important challenges still need to be faced, including cure rates in specific patients' subsets (e.g.: adolescents and relapsed patients), and short- and long-term chemotherapy-related toxicities. The therapeutic scheme of the Associazione Italiana Emato-oncologia pediatrica (AIEOP) ALL protocols consists in a more intensive and toxic earlier phase (to induce and consolidate remission, about 6 months), followed by a prolonged period of immunosuppression (achieved by self- or parent-administered daily mercaptopurine (MP) and weekly methotrexate (MTX) per os). It is now well established that the length of the maintenance phase (up to 24 months after diagnosis) is as necessary as the early remission induction for sustained event-free survival (EFS). Both MP and MTX can lead to potentially serious complications, including potentially life-threatening myelosuppression and infections. To exert its therapeutic effect, MP requires an intracellular enzymatic conversion into active thionucleotides (TGN) and is thus susceptible to intra- and inter-individual variations in efficacy and toxicity. Patients carrying variants in TPMT and NUTD15 genes are at risk of adverse effects when treated with standard MP doses: these patients are identifiable by pre-emptive genotyping. Recent studies demonstrated that an adequate and constant MP exposure during maintenance is associated with higher therapeutic success. Prescribed MP doses are often changed by physicians to target a white blood cell count (WBC) range of 2.0-3.0 × 109/L during maintenance. In the AIEOP ALL 2009 protocol, patients with lower mean TGN exposure during maintenance showed a trend towards a higher risk of relapse compared to others. Similarly, patients with higher intra-individual variability in TGN over time showed a trend towards a worse outcome. Daily compliance to prescribed MP over time is a challenging issue for patients and may result in less effective therapy. The high intra-individual variability in exposure due to the frequent dose adjustments and the potential lack of patients' adherence to oral MP therapy over time might contribute to the risk of relapse. The aim of this study is to assess through therapeutic drug monitoring of MP if patients' exposure during maintenance is adequate and constant.

This phase II clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and tolerability of the non-intensive treatment with venetoclax and the hypomethylating agent azacitidine as compared to the standard of care chemotherapy plus gemtuzumab ozogamicin in newly diagnosed NPM1 mutated AML patients fit for intensive chemotherapy.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous clonal myeloid neoplasm where abnormal proliferation and impaired differentiation of hematopoietic stem and myeloid progenitor cells impedes normal hematopoiesis. Sulfasalazine (SSZ) is a broadly available, well tolerated anti-inflammatory medicine approved for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Intact SSZ, but not its metabolites 5-aminosalicylic acid and sulfapyridine, competitively inhibits xCT.21 SSZ is thus an ideal candidate for drug repurposing in AML.The purpose of this phase I study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of such strategy, provide preliminary signals of efficacy, and identify potential biomarkers

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.

This study is designed as a single arm open label traditional Phase I, 3+3, study of CD4-directed chimeric antigen receptor engineered T-cells (CD4CAR) in patients with relapsed or refractory CMML. Specifically, the study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of CD4CAR T-cells.

The goal of this phase I/II clinical trial is to test in relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R ALL) patients undergoing allogeneic hemopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The main question it aims to answer is: • The efficacy and safety of blinatumomab maintenance therapy in reducing the recurrence rate a in R/R ALL patients after allo-HSCT. Participants will take intravenous blinatumomab after allo-HSCT. The dose of one course was as follows: day 1-2: 8ug/day, continuous intravenous drip for 24 hours, day 3-7: 16ug/day, continuous intravenous drip for 24 hours. Treatment with blinatumomab was initiated within 60 to 90 days after transplantation and was administered bimonthly until 1 year after transplantation. Dexamethasone 20mg was administered 1 hour before administration on days 1 and 3 to prevent adverse events.

This is a phase I, open label study to evaluate the safety, identify the recommended dose (RD) and obtain preliminar evidence of the efficacy of allogeneic, CD19-directed Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (alloCAR-T) cells in pediatric and young adults patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (BCP-ALL).

The purpose of this single-arm, open-label, dose escalation + cohort expansion study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and preliminary efficacy of TGRX-678 in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia patients who had failure with or are intolerant to TKI treatments.

The study "GALAXY33" is an open-label, prospective, nonrandomized, one arm phase I clinical trial in which patients with relapsed AML after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation will be transplanted with CD33-deleted CD34+ HSC derived from the initially matched family donor.

This is a multi-center, open-label, single-arm, phase I/II study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection in subjects with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
