Active clinical trials for "Myelodysplastic Syndromes"

This is a phase 1/2 study to evaluate the combination of vadastuximab talirine (SGN-CD33A; 33A) and azacitidine in subjects with previously untreated International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) Intermediate-2 or high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of APR-548 in combination with Azacitidine for the treatment of TP53-Mutant Myelodysplastic Syndromes.

Hospice care at the end of life (EOL) includes a multidisciplinary team that helps patients and families focus on symptom control and quality of life. For patients with "solid" (e.g. lung, breast) cancers it has been shown to improve quality of life for both patients and families. Unfortunately, patients with blood cancers (e.g. leukemia, lymphoma) often delay their enrollment and receive more aggressive care at the EOL. One factor in this delay is the inability for patients to receive blood transfusions while on hospice. Patients with blood cancers often require frequent blood transfusions near the EOL for symptom control. The structure of Medicare hospice benefit makes coverage for transfusions financially unfeasible for hospice agencies, and therefore patients with blood cancers will delay enrollment onto hospice in order to continue to receive blood transfusions. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether removing this financial burden, through external funding of blood transfusions for patients while on hospice, will encourage patients with blood cancers to enroll on hospice earlier and ultimately improve their and their caregivers EOL care.

The study compares two acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) prophylaxis regimens: efprezimod alfa vs placebo with the standard GVHD prophylaxis of tacrolimus / methotrexate. The study compares two acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) prophylaxis regimens: efprezimod alfa/tacrolimus / methotrexate (efprezimod alfa/Tac/MTX) versus placebo/tacrolimus / methotrexate (placebo/Tac/MTX) in the setting of myeloablative conditioning (MAC), matched unrelated donor (MUD) allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in participants with acute leukemia (AML/ALL) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The study agent, efprezimod alfa, will be administered through IV infusion on days -1, 14, and 28 at the dose of 480mg, 240 mg and 240mg, respectively. The placebo will be 100 ml normal saline intravenous (IV) solution.

This was initially a phase I/II, open-label non-randomized study using an investigational new drug, TL32711, in patients with AML, MDS and ALL, however, the phase II portion was never initiated. This study initially targeted subjects 60 years of age and older (with non-M3 AML who have relapsed or refractory disease after standard therapy or who are newly diagnosed and subjects 18-59 (relapsed or refractory after failing 3 prior lines of therapy), and then targeted subjects 18 years of age and older with MDS and ALL.

This phase II trial studies how well bortezomib works in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth

This study is intended to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of a drug, OXi4503 (combretastatin A1 diphosphate, CA1P, OXiGENE), in patients with relapsed and refractory AML and MDS.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving rasburicase together with allopurinol works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Rasburicase may reduce the level of uric acid in the blood. Allopurinol may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known which dose of rasburicase is more effective in treating hematologic malignancies when given together with or without allopurinol.

Revlimid® (Lenalidomide) is indicated for a type of blood cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), at 10mg for a specific type of myelodysplastic syndrome with a genetic abnormality called "deletion 5q" in Low and Intermediate-1 (INT-1) patients (staging system according to International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS)). The purpose of this Phase I/II study is to determine the optimal dose of Revlimid® (Lenalidomide) in MDS Low and MDS INT-1 patients without deletion 5q by slowly increasing the dose while monitoring blood counts for safety evaluation as well as observe other adverse events. Efficacy will also be observed for the phase II portion of the study.

The purpose of this study is to explore the safety, pharmacokinetic (what the body does to the medication), pharmacodynamic (what the medication does to the body), and activity of JNJ-26481585 in patients with advanced or refractory leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
