Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell microtransplantation for in acute myeloid leukemia (AML)patients who can not receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Patients will be randomized in phase II trials to continue on the same TKI versus one of the alternative treatment approaches. If a patient is not eligible for one of the treatments, he (she) will be randomized between the options for which he (she) is eligible. The trial will start with current available treatment options (experimental arms). New available treatment options may be open at any times later on. Authorized TKIs are imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib and ponatinib. For all options the treatment duration is for a minimum of 12 months and will be continued in the absence of adverse events following investigator decision. Each therapeutic option will be detailed in term of combination modalities, dose, dose adaptation, specific warnings, specific exclusion and inclusion criteria. The decision to introduce a new option will depend on the general pace of recruitment and on the assessment of the potential efficacy and safety of the new treatment, and will be implemented after scientific review by a protocol amendment. Primary objective: A. To select molecules in combination or sequentially with imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib or ponatinib potentially able to produce a 25% increase in the Cumulative Incidence of MR4.5 as compare to control. Secondary objectives: A. To determine the safety of selected therapies B. To determine the rate of MR4 by 12, 24, 36, 48 months in experimental and control arms C. To determine the rates of MR4.5 by 24, 36, 48 months in experimental and control arms D. To determine the rate of undetectable BCR-ABL1 transcript (sensitivity 40000 ABL copies) by 12, 24, 36, 48 months in experimental and control arms E. To estimate treatment free remission (TFR) in patients eligible for discontinuation studies F. To investigate the relationship between biological activity and the clinical efficacy of the selected therapies G. To assess the effects of the treatments on the number and clonogenicity of CML stem cells and other biological markers of interest H. To estimate duration of response, progression-free survival, event free survival and overall survival.

This is a efficacy and safety study of imatinib Mesylate Capsule as First line treatment in patients with chronic phase of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.

This research study is evaluating drugs called bortezomib and lenalidomide as a possible treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the bortezomib and lenalidomide investigational combination. This drug combination has been used in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma and has been previously investigated in the treatment of MDS and AML, albeit at a lower dose of lenalidomide. In this research study, the investigators are looking for the highest dose of the combination that can be given safely and see how well it works as a combination for MDS and AML in individuals whose disease has relapsed after an SCT.

The study will be conducted in the Department of Medical Oncology and Department of Haematology , AIIMS, Delhi. A total of 180 patients of Acute Myeloid Leukemia who are in complete remission after induction chemotherapy will be enrolled into the study and will be further randomized to the two study arms . ARM- A will receive Ara-c at 18 gm /m2 for 3 cycles and ARM -B will receive Ara-c at 12 gm/m2 for 3 cycles according to the study protocol. Aim of the study will be to compare the efficacy of the two doses in terms of the relapse free survival and overall survival as well as time to relapse and toxicity /treatment related morbidity.

To investigate safety, tolerability of cafusertib combination with low dose cytarabine (LD-Ara-C) in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory AML that are not eligible for conventional or intensive treatment. The dose of cafusertib will be escalated to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cafusertib in combination with LD-Ara-C in AML patients. At the same time, pharmacokinetic characteristics and preliminary efficacy of cafusertib will be observed in AML patients. To determine the recommended dosage regimen for phase II.

Phase II trial combining azacitidine with valproic acid as maintenance therapy post allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients with high-risk MDS/AML. We hypothesize that adding valproic acid to azacitidine will improve outcomes via both direct anti-tumor and immunologically mediated antitumor response with alloreactive donor lymphocytes, having an additive effect and extending 1 year survival in patient with high-risk AML/MDS after hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Based on aforementioned data from the US Department of Health and Human Services, standard 1 year survival for AML after stem cell transplant is near 40%. We hypothesize that valproic acid and azacitidine will prolong survival, with a 1 year survival goal of 60%. In addition to assessing for 1 year survival, we will have secondary objectives of assessing progression-free survival, relapse, and toxicity. The primary toxicity endpoint from this will be cytopenias and infections.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether dasatinib can be discontinued without occurrence of molecular relapse in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase in complete molecular remission(CMR) while on dasatinib.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well decitabine works when given together with daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, daunorubicin hydrochloride, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Decitabine may help daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine kill more cancer cells by making them more sensitive to the drugs. It is not yet known whether low-dose decitabine is more effective than high-dose decitabine when giving together with daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine in treating acute myeloid leukemia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety profile of tosedostat in elderly patients suffering from refractory or relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
