Dexamethasone Added to Intensive Chemotherapy in Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)...
Acute Myeloid LeukemiaRecent preclinical and clinical data strongly suggested that dexamethasone could improve the activity of intensive chemotherapy in AML. In this study, the FILO study group will assess the impact of adding dexamethasone to both induction and consolidation therapy in older AML patients with intermediate or favorable risk.

Bendamustine/Rituximab Followed by Venetoclax and Rituximab for Treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic...
Chronic Lymphocytic LeukemiaThe purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of bendamustine and rituximab (BR) followed by venetoclax for 12 months. The total time on therapy is 15 months. Bendamustine and rituximab is a commonly used treatment for CLL. Venetoclax is an oral drug that blocks a protein called BCL-2 which is present on CLL cells. It is approved for patients with relapsed (the cancer has come back) or refractory (the cancer did not respond) CLL who harbor a deletion in the short arm of chromosome 17 [del(17p)]. When this drug is used by itself, many patients needed to be admitted to the hospital to monitor for a complication known as tumor lysis syndrome. This is an oncologic emergency that is caused by massive destruction of tumor cells with the release of large amounts of electrolytes and other molecules into the blood that can lead to renal failure and potentially death.

Donor Stem Cell Transplantation Using α/β+ T-lymphocyte Depleted Grafts From HLA Mismatched Donors...
Acute Lymphoid Leukemia (ALL)Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)4 moreThis study is being done to learn whether a new method to prevent rejection between the donor immune system and the patient's body is effective.

CART22 Alone or in Combination With huCART19 for ALL
Chemotherapy Resistant Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaRefractory Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaThis is a single center, open-label, phase 1 study to determine the safety and feasibility of infusing CART22-65s with or without huCART19 after administration of lymphodepleting chemotherapy in adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-ALL.

Tocilizumab for the Prevention of Graft Versus Host Disease After Cord Blood Transplantation
Acute Myeloid LeukemiaAcute Lymphoblastic Leukemia7 moreThe aim of the research in this study is to make participants' transplant safer by reducing the risk of developing GVHD and GVHD-related complications by giving participants a dose of the drug tocilizumab in addition to the standard approach for GVHD prevention. Tocilizumab reduces the risk of inflammation by blocking the effect of Interleukin-6, a protein that exists in high levels in the blood when there is inflammation. Participants who receive stem cell transplants have high levels of this protein in their blood early after transplant. Therefore, the goal of this study is to reduce the risk of inflammation after transplant with the addition of Tocilizumab. This could decrease the risk of developing GVHD and GVHD-associated complications.

Investigator Initiated Trial of CPX-351 for Untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia
LeukemiaMyeloid1 moreThis is an open label study to assess the suitability of CPX-351 as first intensive therapy in elderly (age ≥60 years) patients with AML. Patients may have received prior AML treatment with non-intensive regimens, e.g. hypomethylating agents, low dose Ara C or lenolidomide, but may not have received intensive AML treatment with anthracyclines and/or cytarabine prior to enrollment on this trial. The outcome of elderly patients following intensive treatment with CPX-351 will be measured by clinical endpoints for efficacy and safety and by biological/functional response.

Fludarabine Phosphate, Cyclophosphamide, Total Body Irradiation, and Donor Stem Cell Transplant...
Accelerated Phase Chronic Myelogenous LeukemiaBCR-ABL1 Positive38 moreThis phase II trial studies how well fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, total body irradiation, and donor stem cell transplant work in treating patients with blood cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient?s immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells.

Fractionated Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin Followed by Non-engraftment Donor Leukocyte Infusions for Relapsed/Refractory...
Acute Myeloid LeukemiaThis study includes patients with relapsed acute leukemia who have previously been treated with standard treatment that is still present and there is no curative treatment option available. Researchers are studying whether the drug Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin, followed by an infusion of blood cells called leukocytes from a donor, can stimulate the immune system to potentially fight the leukemia. Gemtuzmab ozogamicin is a class of drugs known as an antibody drug conjugate. The drug is given on days 1,4,7. It is infused, attaches to cells with a certain marker on the surface (the majority of which would be leukemia cells). The drug is then internalized and the chemotherapy drug becomes activated. Gemtuzumab is currently FDA approved for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. The infusion of leukocytes to stimulate the immune system to fight your leukemia is investigational and has not been proven to cure cancer. This combination of Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin and donor leukocytes is not an FDA approved treatment and is investigational. Initially a total of 6 patients will be included in the study to assess the safety of the treatment. Once 6 patients have been treated and no unacceptable toxicities are seen, more patients will be enrolled. The study will treat up to 18 patients on the study.

LeukemiaLymphocytic4 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose regimen or the maximum tolerated dose of JNJ-67856633 in participants with relapsed/ refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Itacitinib and Alemtuzumab in Treating Patients With T-Cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia
Recurrent T-Cell Prolymphocytic LeukemiaT-Cell Prolymphocytic LeukemiaThis phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of alemtuzumab when given together with itacitinib in treating patients with T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia. Itacitinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with alemtuzumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving itacitinib and alemtuzumab may work better in treating patients with T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia compared to standard of care treatment.
