Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

Individualized induction therapy will be applied to the non-elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with adverse genetic risk features guided by rapid screening with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and next-generation sequencing (NGS), such as the combination of Venetoclax plus decitabine, and Sorafenib for patients with high (FMS)-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) allelic ratio. This study aims to improve induction therapy for non-elderly AML patients with adverse genetic risk features, reduce treatment-related complications, and improve overall survival.

In view of the diversity of the biology of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy in individual patients must be individualized. One of the tools for this is molecular-cytogenetic stratification. It divides patients into five categories (prognostic groups): Favorable, Intermediate-1, Intermediate-2, Adverse and Very adverse risk. After remission proceedings are tailored depending on prognostic determined groups. Research of PALG group in the application in the second line regimen CLAG and CLAG-M proved high effectiveness of this treatment with low toxicity. Considering experience of PALG groups, it seems that the use of the schema CLAG early as the second induction therapy is a viable treatment option.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and the therapeutic effect of Decitabine in the treatment of elderly Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients.

The current standard therapy in previously untreated adults with chronic phase (CP) of CML is imatinib and the result of long-term follow-up of IRIS study proves that imatinib for CML CP is reasonable therapy.(1, 2) However, some patients were initially diagnosed as advanced CML, accelerated phase (AP) or blastic phase (BP). Various chemotherapies were tried and were found that there were no highly effective chemotherapies for CML BP.(3-11) Imatinib in patients with these advanced CML is also disappointing because of low response rates as well as short response duration, and sudden transformation to BC is found even in initial CML CP patients. (12-17). Recent studies showed that nilotinib or dasatinib is better than imatinib in terms of rapid response and higher molecular response in newly diagnosed CML patients.(18-21) More potent bcr-abl suppression of nilotinib is supposed to be more active than imatinib even in patients with advanced CML. However, nilotinib in patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CML BP showed low hematologic response and major cytogenetic response.(22, 23)

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give natural killer cells and donor umbilical cord blood transplant in treating patients with hematological malignancies. Giving chemotherapy with or without total body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells and natural killer 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.

This study was a multi-center, open, randomized-control study on the effects and safety of idarubicin 60mg/M2 combined with BUCY pretreatment program or BUCY pretreatment program on the overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate of acute myeloid leukemia patient in high-risk group over a period of 2 years.

Allo - hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is currently the only way to cure myelodysplastic syndrome /acute leukemia . The existing experimental results showed that decitabine and 5-azacytidine up-regulated the expression of tumor Ags on leukemic blasts in vitro and expanded the numbers of immunomodulatory T regulatory cells in animal models. Reasoning that decitabine might selectively augment a graft versus leukemia effect, the investigators used decitabine administration after allogeneic stem cell transplantation to studied the immunologic sequelae.

Trial try to assess the efficacy of dasatinib in terms of major molecular response rate at 6 months in patients with CP-CML who have achieved complete cytogenetic response without major molecular response after at least 18 months on Imatinib 400/600.

It is an open-label, randomized, multi-center study. The efficacy and safety of two flumatinib doses, 400 mg once daily and 600 mg once daily, will be compared with imatinib 400 mg once daily in newly diagnosed (within 6 months) patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP).

The proposed phase II trial is a multicenter, randomized, open-label study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of azacitidine alone or in combination with lenalidomide in high-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) or Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) with a karyotype including del(5q). The primary objective will be to evaluate the efficacy in terms of response according to International Working Group (IWG) criteria for MDS and AML after 6 cycles of azacitidine or azacitidine + lenalidomide treatment, or at end of study if this occurs at an earlier time point.
