Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

The purpose of this study is to develop a standard of care treatment using allogeneic stem cells for patients with cancers of the blood. The protocol was revised to reflect that this study is considered "treatment guidelines", rather than a research study.

This clinical trial studies the effect of short-term (acute) and long-term (chronic) exercise on immune characteristics and function (phenotype) of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Most newly-diagnosed CLL patients have early-stage disease at the time of diagnosis and do not require treatment. Despite not needing therapy, these patients have significant immune dysfunction. This may lead to an increased risk of serious infections requiring hospitalization and an increased risk of secondary non-blood-based (hematologic) cancers. Increasing CLL patients overall physical fitness levels, through exercise during the observation stage, may provide a realistic approach means to increase survival, decrease treatment-related side effects, and improve immune function. Information learned from this study may help researchers determine whether a particular exercise regimen can be used to strengthen the immune system of CLL patients, delay time to disease progression, assess the need for treatment, and assess infection rates.

AML in adults represents a group of heterogeneous diseases; the prognosis remains poor despite significant therapeutic advances in recent years. In order to optimize patient care, it is necessary to have "real life" data that exhaustively reports on the patients treated in our department. The objective of this study is: To describe the AML treated within the hematology department To optimize the management of patients with AML.

This study is an open, prospective, single-center, single-arm study expanded based on the study of NCT03412409.The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the transplantation efficacy of the RIC conditioning regimen in elderly patients receiving the transplantation of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cells. Elderly patients are defined as ≥55 years of age; High comorbidity is defined as an HCT-CI score ≥3.Primary endpoint is 1-year LFS. Secondary endpoints are 1-year OS and 1-year TRM, Other indicators to be assessed in this study include acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, CMV activation, EBV activation, engraftment.

Study the expression level of H19 gene in the samples from ALL patients by real-time PCR. Correlate the expression level of H19 gene with the clinical presentation and laboratory data of those patients.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine when given with fludarabine phosphate, cytarabine, and filgrastim and to see how well they work in treating younger patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back after treatment (relapsed) or is not responding to treatment (is refractory). Liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine is made up of two chemotherapy drugs, cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride, and works to stop cancer cell growth by blocking the cells from dividing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cytarabine, 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. Filgrastim may increase the production of blood cells and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Giving liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine followed by fludarabine phosphate, cytarabine, and filgrastim may be a better treatment for patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia and may cause fewer side effects to the heart, a common effect of other chemotherapy treatments for acute myeloid leukemia.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about the safety of LY2510924 in combination with cytarabine and idarubicin in patients with relapsed or refractory AML. We will also study if LY2510924 in combination with cytarabine and idarubicin can help to control relapsed or refractory AML. LY2510924 is designed to help cancer cells move from the bone marrow into the bloodstream, where they are exposed to chemotherapy (in this case, cytarabine and idarubicin). This is an investigational study. LY2510924 is not FDA approved or commercially available. Its use in this study is investigational. Cytarabine and idarubicin are approved to treat certain types of leukemia. Their use in this study in combination with LY2510924 is investigational. Up to 36 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of targeted immunotherapy in combination with ublituximab and umbralisib, in patients with advanced CLL or Richter's Transformation.

Current protocols use G-CSF to mobilize hematopoietic progenitor cells from matched sibling and volunteer unrelated donors. Unfortunately, this process requires four to six days of G-CSF injection and can be associated with side effects, most notably bone pain and rarely splenic rupture. BL-8040 is given as a single SC injection, and collection of cells occurs on the same day as BL-8040 administration. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of this novel agent for hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization and allogeneic transplantation based on the following hypotheses: Healthy HLA-matched donors receiving one injection of BL-8040 will mobilize sufficient CD34+ cells (at least 2.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg recipient weight) following no more than two leukapheresis collections to support a hematopoietic cell transplant. The hematopoietic cells mobilized by SC BL-8040 will be functional and will result in prompt and durable hematopoietic engraftment following transplantation into HLA-identical siblings with advanced hematological malignancies using various non-myeloablative and myeloablative conditioning regimens and regimens for routine GVHD prophylaxis. If these hypotheses 1 and 2 are confirmed after an interim safety analysis of the data, then the study will continue and include recruitment of haploidentical donors.

Objectives of this clinical trial are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and potential efficacy of the investigational drug, cobomarsen (MRG-106), in patients diagnosed with certain lymphomas and leukemias, including cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) [mycosis fungoides (MF) subtype], chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) [activated B-cell (ABC) subtype], and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). Cobomarsen is an inhibitor of a molecule called miR-155 that is found at high levels in these types of cancers and may be important in promoting the growth and survival of the cancer cells. Participants in the clinical trial will receive weekly doses of cobomarsen administered by injection under the skin or into a vein, or by injection directly into cancerous lesions in the skin (for CTCL only). Blood samples will be collected to measure how cobomarsen is processed by the body, and other measurements will be performed to study how normal and cancerous cells of the immune system respond when exposed to cobomarsen.
