Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

This study is a phase II trial of belimumab in combination with rituximab/venetoclax in patients with refractory or relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Treatment of CLL has drastically changed in the past years as new therapeutic agents have gained clinical approval. The combination rituximab/venetoclax over a course of two years is approved as second line therapy especially in patients with high risk CLL (del17p), showing high remission rates and achievement of MRD (minimal residual disease) negativity. The next goals in CLL therapy are now to increase the rate of MRD negativity and to achieve an earlier MRD negativity during the course of treatment to allow for a reduction of treatment time and therefore treatment-induced toxicities. In line with other hematologic diseases, progression free survival depends on remission status, especially MRD negativity, after last treatment as MRD positivity after therapy indicates the persistence of treatment resistant CLL cells. One mechanism of therapy resistance has been described as reduced sensitivity to rituximab-induced antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) by natural killer (NK) cell production of B-lymphocyte stimulator (BlyS, also called BAFF), which can be bound by belimumab, a human anti-BAFF antibody. Moreover, recombinant human (rh)BAFF can dose dependently reverse cytotoxic effects of venetoclax, which could also be restored by the application of belimumab. This led to the conceptualization of this clinical trial, in which belimumab is applied as a weekly subcutaneous injection in combination with standardrituximab/venetoclax treatment for up to 24 months in relapsed and refractory CLL patients. By removing BAFF from the CLL microenvironment we aim to increase the efficacy of rituximab/venetoclax treatment to achieve higher and earlier MRD negativity rates and allow for an abbreviated treatment.

Study CC-91633-AML-001 is a Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation and expansion, first-in-human (FIH) clinical study of CC-91633 (BMS-986397) in participants with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) or in participants with relapsed or refractory higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (R/R HR-MDS). The Dose Escalation part (Part A) of the study will enroll participants with R/R AML and R/R HR-MDS and will evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of CC-91633 (BMS-986397), administered orally, and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and schedule. Throughout the study, final decisions on dose escalation/de-escalation will be made by the safety review committee (SRC). Approximately 40 participants may be enrolled in Part A of the study. The expansion part (Part B) will confirm tolerability of the selected doses and schedules and evaluate whether efficacy is in a range that warrants further clinical development. Separate expansion cohorts for participants with R/R AML and R/R HR-MDS may enroll approximately 20 to 40 response evaluable participants per cohort. Parts A and B will consist of 3 periods: Screening, Treatment, and Follow-up.

This will be an open-label, Phase 1B/2A, study to characterize the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of fosciclopirox administered alone and in combination with cytarabine in patients with R/R AML with up to two cohorts studied to confirm the efficacy (or futility) of fosciclopirox on the endpoint of disease response. Initially, 14 evaluable patients will be enrolled in Cohort 1a. If disease response to fosciclopirox alone IS observed in at least 4 of 14 patients, an additional 14 patients will be enrolled in Cohort 1b. If disease response to fosciclopirox alone IS NOT observed in at least 4 of 14 patients in Cohort 1a, based on a review of all available study data, the study may be terminated OR a Cohort 2a may be initiated using the combination of fosciclopirox and cytarabine. If disease response to fosciclopirox in combination with cytarabine IS observed in at least 4 of 14 patients in Cohort 2a, an additional 14 patients will be enrolled in Cohort 2b. If disease response to fosciclopirox in combination with cytarabine IS NOT observed in at least 4 of 14 patients in the Cohort 2a, the study will be stopped for futility.

The irreversible Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor acalabrutinib (ACA) has potent clinical activity as a single agent in patients with treatment naive and Relapsed/Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). However, a growing body of concerns is raising regarding the unlimited administration of targeted therapy as BTKi. First, long-term treatments expose the patients to increased risk of specific adverse events (infections, bleeding events or cardiovascular problems). Second, continuous administration might also increase the risk of clonal evolution and therapeutic resistance resulting from genetic alterations such as BTK or PLCG2 mutations. Discontinuation of therapy after a fixed period is expected to prevent these events. Rapid and deep responses yielded by ACA in elderly patients pave the way of investigating a limited 18-months period schedule. This study aims to investigate the 1-year PFS upon ACA discontinuation and efficacy of restarting ACA upon symptomatic relapse.

This is a Phase Ib/II, open-label, multi-center study evaluating the safety, tolerability, efficacy and PK of APG-2575 in combination with Azacitidine in the patients with AML/MPAL or MDS/CMML. The study consists of dose escalation (Part I) and dose expansion phase (Part II)

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects, best dose, and effect of tagraxofusp and decitabine in treating patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Tagraxofusp consists of human interleukin 3 (IL3) linked to a toxic agent called DT388. IL3 attaches to IL3 receptor positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers DT388 to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as decitabine, 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 tagraxofusp and decitabine may help to control the disease in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.

This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1/Phase 2, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and anti-leukemic activity of SAR443579 in various hematological malignancies.

This is an open-label, two-part Phase 2 study investigating CGT9486 for the treatment of patients with Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis (AdvSM), including patients with Aggressive SM (ASM), SM with Associated Hematologic Neoplasm (SM-AHN), and Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL).

An Open-label, Phase II, Two-stage, Study of Xantrene® (Bisantrene) in combination with Fludarabine and Clofarabine as Salvage Therapy for Adult Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Lead-in stage: up to 12 (up to 2 cohorts in a 3+3 dose escalation design) Efficacy stage: up to 17 (Simon 2-stage design 9+8) Study Objectives: Confirm safety and tolerability of the combination regimen Time to response with combination treatment Overall survival The treatment regimen will comprise daily IV infusion of Fludarabine (Flu), Clofarabine (Clo) and Bisantrene (Xan) administered via central venous line and controlled-rate infusion pump with a 1-hour break between each agent infusion, amounting to a total of 6 hours for each daily FluCloXan treatment in the following sequence: First, infusion over 60 minutes of Fludarabine (Flu) at 10 mg/m2 Followed by infusion of Clofarabine (Clo) at 30 mg/m2 over 60 minutes Followed by infusion of Bisantrene (Xan) at 250 mg/m2 over 2 hours. One cycle will comprise daily IV infusion of the combination treatment course for 4 or 5 consecutive days and rest period to between Day 30 and Day 42, based on patient performance and disease status.

Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) has been increasingly adopted as a modality to allow preparative conditioning pre-transplant to be tolerated by older adults or those patients that are otherwise unfit for myeloablative conditioning. In this study Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) conditioning is used and followed by match aploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
