Active clinical trials for "Preleukemia"

Mocetinostat is an orally administered histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. Azacitidine is a hypomethylating agent (HMA) used to treat MDS. In this study, patients with intermediate- or high-risk MDS will receive treatment with mocetinostat and azacitidine to evaluate the safety of the study treatment. Safety assessments will include echocardiograms, electrocardiograms and routine safety laboratory studies (hematology and serum chemistry). In addition, clinical response to treatment will be monitored using bone marrow aspirates or biopsies, and other routine methods.

The primary hypothesis is that chemotherapy followed by donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) from HLA-haploidentical donors is a safe procedure that will not cause Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) or increased treatment-related mortality. The Investigator further believes that this will improve outcomes of elderly patients with high-risk AML or MDS compared to chemotherapy alone, and that that this benefit will be even greater in donor-recipient pairs that share maternal-fetal microchimerism or non-inherited maternal antigen (NIMA) mismatch. A large part of this trial will include immune function assays as well as assessments of efficacy, toxicity, and GVHD. Because this therapy may be a tolerable alternative to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) for elderly patients, the Investigator will validate functional measurements (e.g. Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA)) with biologic correlates (cytokine and genomic profiles) and clinical outcomes.

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, randomized, 2-stage crossover study consisting of 2 phases: Stage I - Pharmacokinetics (Bioequivalence), with an Extension Stage II - Pharmacokinetics (Food Effect) with an Extension This study will enroll approximately 60 subjects in stage I and 60 subjects in stage II with hematologic or solid tumor malignancies, excluding gastrointestinal tumors and tumors that have originated or metastasized to the liver for which no standard treatment exists or have progressed or recurred following prior therapy. Subjects must not be eligible for therapy of higher curative potential where an alternative treatment has been shown to prolong survival in an analogous population. Approximately 23 sites in the US and 2 in Canada will participate in this study.

This is a Phase IV, prospective, multi-center, open-label study to assess the effectiveness and safety profile of epoetin beta (Recormon®) for treatment of symptomatic anemia in adult participants associated with low/intermediate-1-risk MDS. After screening, eligible participants will be treated with epoetin beta as recommended in the approved label and international guidelines for the use of epoetin in MDS participants and the dosage will be adjusted on the basis of erythroid response.

The goal of this clinical research study is learn if omacetaxine can help to control myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The safety of this drug will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Omacetaxine is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). It is investigational to use omacetaxine in patients with MDS. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 80 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of decitabine followed by mitoxantrone hydrochloride, etoposide, and cytarabine and to see how well they work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has returned after a period of improvement or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitoxantrone hydrochloride, etoposide, cytarabine, and decitabine, 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 more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells.

A Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Transplantation of a single cord blood unit (CBU) of NiCord®, umbilical cord blood-derived Ex Vivo Expanded Stem and Progenitor Cells in Patients with Hematological Malignancies.

This randomized clinical trial studies liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351 in treating patients with untreated myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351, 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.

Allocation: Non-Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Feasibility Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment Study to assess the feasibility and safety of the infusion of a T cells receptor (TCR) alfa beta depleted graft in pediatric patients affected by malignant and non-malignant hematological disorders and receiving an Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) partially matched family donor.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous azacitidine in combination with durvalumab as compared with subcutaneous azacitidine alone in adults with previously untreated, higher risk MDS who are not eligible for HSCT or in adults ≥ 65 years old with previously untreated AML who are not eligible for HSCT, with intermediate or poor cytogenetic risk.
