Active clinical trials for "Philadelphia Chromosome"

The purpose of this study is to prospectively validate the new risk model, based on minimal residual disease (MRD) response level and oncogenetic status by comparing historical results of GRAALL-2005 with those of GRAALL-2014 in an identical population of patients (Philadelphia chromosome negative, B lineage ALL, aged 18 to 59 years old).

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of axitinib and bosutinib and how well they work in treating patients with chronic, accelerated, or blastic phase chronic myeloid leukemia. Axitinib and bosutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy and inotuzumab ozogamicin work in treating patients with B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, doxorubicin hydrochloride, dexamethasone, methotrexate and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving combination chemotherapy and inotuzumab ozogamicin may work better at treating B acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

This study is to determine the number of European Leukemia Network (ELN)guideline defined treatment failure events from time of study entry in CML-CP patients with low imatinib trough concentrations treated with nilotinib.

This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ruxolitinib phosphate and how well it works compared to dasatinib when given with chemotherapy in treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to treatment (refractory). Ruxolitinib phosphate and dasatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. It is not yet known whether giving ruxolitinib phosphate or dasatinib with chemotherapy works better in treating patients with previously treated acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the acceptable upper limit dose of nivolumab in combination with dasatinib that may be given to patients with relapsed/refractory philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). Nivolumab is currently Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for other cancers, but has not yet been investigated in Ph+ ALL. Dasatinib is currently FDA approved for the treatment of Ph+ ALL, but has not yet been investigated in combination with nivolumab for this disease. There is evidence that dasatinib not only blocks the Philadelphia chromosome or breakpoint cluster region-Abelson murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1 (BCR-ABL) mutation, but also increases the activity of cells in your immune system. Nivolumab increases T cells in your immune system, which allows your immune system to attack the cancer. We think the combination of these drugs will be more effective against your leukemia than either drug used alone.

This study will evaluate MK0457 in combination with Dasatinib in patients with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia and Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Efficacy and Safety will be evaluated.

This exploratory study will evaluate the change in molecular response in chronic myelogenous leukemia - chronic phase patients with a complete cytogenetic response and have a suboptimal molecular response to imatinib

The PETHEMA Spanish group treats patients with high-risk Philadelphia chromosome-negative ALL, aged 18 to 55 years, based on the MRD clearance as assessed by flow cytometry at a centralised evaluation centre. Patients with MRD < 0.1% (< 1×10-3) after induction and < 0.01% (< 1×10-4) after early consolidation are assigned to receive chemotherapy (late consolidation and maintenance). Early consolidation chemotherapy consists of three cycles including high doses of MTX, ARA-C and ASP, together with vincristine and dexamethasone. The same therapy is repeated in the late consolidation period if MRD after early consolidation is < 0.01% (< 1×10-4). Maintenance therapy is then administered for up to 2 years from the CR date. These patients do not receive allo-HSCT if they maintain adequate MRD clearance. Despite having adequate MRD clearance, a proportion of patients (around 25%) experience relapse, which makes other approaches necessary to try to decrease the relapse rate. Intensifying currently existing chemotherapy regimens is not likely to increase the cure rate and would likely significantly increase toxicity. The use of targeted immunotherapeutic agents such as blinatumomab, which has demonstrated efficacy and safety in patients with R/R ALL and in patients with ALL and MRD+, seems to be a promising option [30-33]. Therefore, it would be interesting to assess the potential efficacy of using blinatumomab in CR patients to reduce the MRD more frequently and more intensely during the early and late consolidation period. Our hypothesis is that blinatumomab will further reduce the level of MRD and this could lead to a decrease in the relapse rate in these patients. This trial will replace the third early consolidation cycle with a cycle of blinatumomab, and the same will be done in the late consolidation period. We hope that this strategy will increase the extent of the MRD response and prevent relapses. Moreover, and as a secondary objective, we will investigate the safety of blinatumomab administration after the administration of high-dose chemotherapy including MTX, ARA-C and ASP

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein when given together with cytarabine or vincristine liposomal in treating participants with acute leukemia that has come back or has not responded to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as recombinant ephb4-HSA fusion protein, cytarabine, and vincristine liposomal, 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. Giving the drugs in different combinations may kill more cancer cells.
