Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation, the only known curative modality for CML, was abandoned in recent years for a very effective and much less toxic targeted therapy with the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, approximately one third of patients still need another treatment including stem cell transplantation. The study protocol comprised a cohort of consecutive patients with CML who received allogeneic stem cell transplantation using partial T cell depletion, with no post-transplant GvHD prophylaxis. Forty consecutive patients with CML underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation from a matched sibling using partial T cell depletion (TCD), in a single institution. Escalated dose of donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) was given in case of either relapse or presence of minimal residual disease (MRD) as detected by cytogenetic or molecular analysis. The purpose of the study is to decrease transplant-related toxicity.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and daunorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Everolimus may help cytarabine and daunorubicin work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy. Giving everolimus together with cytarabine and daunorubicin may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus when given together with cytarabine and daunorubicin in treating patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.

This is one of the first studies of combination of Zarnestra plus Velcade in man. A primary objective of the study is therefore to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of Zarnestra plus Velcade in patients with AML. New treatments for patients that are untreatable with intensive chemotherapy aged de novo AML patients or post-relapse AML are urgently required since, at present, many of the drugs used for second line therapy are the same as those used for first induction and response rates are much lower. The following evidence suggests that Velcade plus Zarnestra can be an attractive therapeutic combination for: AML patients. Affymetrix gene profiling data showed expression of NFkB1 in all of 5 myeloid cell lines cell lines tested and 35% of over 250 patient samples ( data generated in collaboration with Sergio Ferrari and Pier Paolo Piccaluga unpublished results, our Institute and University of Modena,Italy) Preclinical evidence showed that AML cells in suspension culture were prevented to develop de novo drug resistance and mediated drug resistance. In Part B additional patients with AML will be treated to further characterize the tolerability,biological effects, and clinical efficacy of the combination Velcade plus Zarnestra. Patients on treatment for AML will undergo regular bone marrow aspirates and biopsies to assess responses to treatment. This will facilitate frequent assessment of biological endpoints (reduction in expression and phosphorylation of IKKb kinase, and downstream markers of signalling along with apoptosis, survival, proliferation and cellular size and ploidy) will be made in an attempt to confirm that the desired biological activity has been achieved at the maximum tolerated dose.

Primary Objectives: This a pilot project to determine the feasibility of the preemptive CD8+ depleted T-cell donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) in: Reducing the incidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD) based on standard classification of acute and chronic GVHD Improving hte disease remission rate in comparison with our previous study results. Secondary Objectives: To investigate the impact of CD8+ depleted T-cell DLI in hematopoietic chimerism, and immunologic recovery of transplant patients.

This trial is a single-center, non-blind, two-arm randomized prospective controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of two induction chemotherapy regimens (high-dose cytarabine plus daunorubicin [HDAC] vs. cytarabine plus high-dose daunorubicin [AD]) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The primary hypothesis of the study is that AD is superior to HDAC in terms of event-free survival (EFS, time from registration to induction failure, relapse, or death).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DAC combined with HAAG regimen in the induction treatment of newly diagnosed AML patients younger than 60 years.

Patients will receive oral SKLB1028 for 28 days as a course of treatment, and then to evaluate the side effects,tolerability and best dose for treating relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia With FLT3 Mutations.

Phase I, interventional, single-arm, open-label, treatment study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CD33-CLL1 CAR in patients with relapsed and/or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

This study is a phase Ib/II study of Max-40279-01 in combination with Azacitidine (AZA) in patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) or Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (R/R AML). This study include Phase Ib and Phase II study. The phase Ib study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MAX-40279-01 in combination with Azacitidine (AZA) in patients with Relapsed or Refractory AML. The phase II study is designed to preliminarily assess the efficacy and safety of Max-40279-01 in combination with Azacitidine (AZA) in patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) or Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (R/R AML).

This phase II trial studies how well tislelizumab combined with DNA hypomethylation agent +/- CAG regimen (cytarabine, idarubicin / Aclarithromycin, rhG-CSF/ PEG-rhG-CSF) work in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or AML patients older than 60 years of age who are unfit for standard-dose chemotherapy. The expressions of PD-1 and PD-L1 are increased in AML cells. However, blocking the immune checkpoint alone has limited efficacy as a single agent in highly proliferative leukemia cells. During the recovery period after cytotoxic chemotherapy, the activation of PD-1/PD-L1 pathway may be increased and DNA hypomethylation agents can also up-regulate PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2 in AML patients. The up-regulation and activation of above immune checkpoint molecules are related to chemotherapy resistance. Therefore, adding chemotherapy and epigenetic regulation agents to Immune checkpoint blockade therapy may work better through overcoming drug resistance in AML treatment.
