Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

This phase II trial studies how well ruxolitinib phosphate works in treating patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. Ruxolitinib phosphate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Ibrutinib is currently FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of CLL. However, some researchers think the approved dose may be unnecessarily high. The goal of this clinical research study is to compare 3 different daily doses of ibrutinib to learn how these doses affect the disease and your body. Researchers think that if a lower dose of ibrutinib can be found to be as effective as the currently approved dose this may help to lower the risk of side effects.

This phase IB trial studies the feasibility of using a functional laboratory based study to determine how well the test can be used to select personalized kinase inhibitor therapy in combination with standard chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It also evaluates safety and potential efficacy. Kinase inhibitor is a type of substance that blocks an enzyme called a kinase. Human cells have many different kinase enzymes, and they help control important cell functions. Certain kinases are more active in some types of cancer cells and blocking them may help keep the cancer cells from growing. Testing samples of blood from patients with AML and ALL in the laboratory with kinase inhibitors may help determine which kinase inhibitor has more activity against cancer cells and which one should be combined with standard of care chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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 a personalized kinase inhibitor therapy combined with standard chemotherapy may be a better treatment for AML and ALL.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the regimen limiting toxicities (RLT) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of indoximod in patients with newly diagnosed AML receiving remission induction chemotherapy with cytarabine and idarubicin.

This open label extension study will give an opportunity to the participants that have responded to the treatment with Pegylated-Interferon Alfa-2a (Pegasys) or Recombinant Interferon Alfa-2a (Roferon-A®) in prior clinical studies NO15753 (NCT00003542) for Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), NO15764 (NCT number not available) and NO16006 (NCT02736721) for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), and NO16007 (NCT number not available) for Malignant Melanoma (MM).

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase III study that compares the efficacy and safety of oral ibrutinib in previously untreated Binet stage A CLL patients without treatment indication according to iwCLL guidelines but risk of early disease progression. For event-free survival (EFS), an improvement from 24 months for untreated intermediate or (very) high risk CLL to 48 months for subjects treated with ibrutinib is considered clinically relevant. Ibrutinib / placebo is administered continuously orally until symptomatic disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or voluntary treatment withdrawal, whichever occurs first.

This phase II trial studies how well tacrolimus, bortezomib, and anti-thymocyte globulin (thymoglobulin) work in preventing low toxicity graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients with blood cancer who are undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Tacrolimus and anti-thymocyte globulin may reduce the risk of the recipient's body rejecting the transplant by suppressing the recipient's immune system. Giving bortezomib after the transplant may help prevent GVHD by stopping the donor's cells from attacking the recipient. Giving tacrolimus, bortezomib, and anti-thymocyte globulin may be a better way to prevent low toxicity GVHD in patients with blood cancer undergoing donor stem cell transplant.

This study will examine the safety profile of vadastuximab talirine (SGN-CD33A) by itself (monotherapy) or in combination with other standard treatments. The main purpose of this study is to find the best dose and schedule for SGN-CD33A when given in combination with standard induction treatment, in combination with standard consolidation treatment, or by itself for maintenance treatment. This will be determined by observing the dose-limiting toxicities (the side effects that prevent further increases in dose) of SGN-CD33A. In addition, the pharmacokinetic profile and anti-leukemic activity of the study treatment will be assessed.

This is a pilot study to evaluate humanized CD19 redirected autologous T cells (or huCART19 cells) in patients with relapsed or refractory CD19+ leukemia and lymphoma that was previously treated with cell therapy. This study is targeting pediatric patients aged 1-24 years with CD19+ B cell malignancies with no available curative treatment options (such as autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation) who have a limited prognosis with currently available therapies and were previously treated with a B cell directed engineered cell therapy product.
