Active clinical trials for "Preleukemia"

RATIONALE: Low dose deferasirox may be safe and effective in treating patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant and have iron overload. PURPOSE: This pilot clinical trial studies safety and tolerability of deferasirox in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients who have iron overload. Effect of low dose deferasirox on labile plasma iron is also examined.

RATIONALE: The influenza vaccine may help prevent flu in patients who have undergone stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well the influenza vaccine works in preventing flu in patients who have undergone stem cell transplant and in healthy volunteers.

This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, two-part Phase I/Ib study of RP7214 in combination with azacitidine in patients with AML, MDS and CMML. Part I is a 3+3 dose-escalation study to identify the MTD/RP2D of RP7214 and azacitidine combination in patients with AML, MDS, and CMML. Part II is a dose-expansion study to evaluate the clinical activity and safety of RP7214 and azacitidine combination in AML.

This study aims at prospectively enrolling a cohort of 400 incident cases of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) at diagnosis, to evaluate the impact of recurrent mutations on overall survival and event-free survival, using next generation sequencing. Patients are affected by ineffective hematopoiesis and a propensity to leukemia in the elderly with a global incidence of 10/100,000/year.

To assess the impact of moderate hepatic impairment on cytarabine and daunorubicin pharmacokinetics and their metabolites following administration of CPX-351.

There are no strategies developed post-stem cell transplant (SCT) for patients who receive allogenic SCT with a significant amount of blasts prior SCT. Novel strategies to treat relapsed AML/MDS and to reduce the incidence of relapse after allogeneic SCT are needed. This study is being done in patients with high-risk MDS or AML who undergo an allogeneic SCT. The study will have two arms, participants who receive an HLA-matched unrelated donor SCT (Arm A) or HLA- haploidentical SCT (Arm B). Following myeloablative conditioning (MAC), GVHD prophylaxis with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy), tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil will be given per standard of care. At 40-60 days post SCT, If the patient has not had any evidence of Grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD), Nivolumab will be given intravenously every 2 weeks for 4 cycles of consolidation or treatment with Nivolumab. Dose-escalation of Nivolumab will follow the standard 3+3 design where a maximum of three dose levels will be evaluated, with a maximum of 18 patients treated with nivolumab per arm. As the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Nivolumab may differ between Arm A and Arm B, dose escalation of nivolumab in each arm will be followed separately following allogeneic SCT. Immunosuppression with tacrolimus will be continued during the cycles of PD-1 blockade to provide a moderate level of GVHD prophylaxis during consolidation or treatment with nivolumab.

This research study is for subjects that are receiving a bone marrow transplant. As part of the transplant subjects will receive stem cells from a donor who has agreed to donate stem cells for them. Unfortunately, it takes a long time for the immune system to recover after a bone marrow transplant. This makes it more likely for patients to develop serious infections. This study is being done to better understand how the immune system will recover after transplant. The immune system includes the cells that help fight infection. This study will help investigators understand which patients are at risk for developing infections after transplant. All children and adults receive standard vaccines (shots) during their lifetime to provide protection from many different infections. One such infection is tetanus, a bacteria that can cause life-threatening problems. After transplant patients no longer have protection from infections such as tetanus. Therefore, most patients need to receive all their vaccine (shots) again after transplant. This is usually done 1-2 years after transplant, since it may take that long for patients to have a normal immune system. However, the investigators believe that the time it will take for the patient to develop normal protection against tetanus can be shortened if both the patient and the patient's stem cell donor receive a tetanus vaccine. The goal of this study is to determine if giving a tetanus vaccine to the donor and the patient will provide the patient with enough protection (immunity) to prevent infection following bone marrow transplant.

For MDS patients who have not responded to or have progressed after an initial response to DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTI) and are not stem cell transplant candidates, therapeutic options are limited. Participation in clinical trials such as this one may be considered. The specific objectives of this trial are to find out which dose of ON 01910.Na can be safety given to MDS patients and then find out if this dose of drug has any beneficial effects on the patients' disease. ON 01910.Na is a new, experimental drug; the reason for doing this trial is based on the anti-cancer activity of ON 01910.Na that has been observed in laboratory experiments and in early clinical trials.

To determine the clinical effects of coenzyme Q10 and Curcumin in improving the cytopenias of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes. we propose to explore the efficacy of the natural compounds curcumin and CoQ10 in MDS because these two agents possess many of the effects that are desirable in MDS.

This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of FT-2102 when given together with ASTX727 in treating patients with IDH1-mutated myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). ASTX727 is an oral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor. DNA methylation is necessary for cell differentiation and development. Changes to the methylation profile can lead to DNA instability which can cause diseases like cancer. DNMT inhibitors target and inhibit these changes. FT-2102 is an isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) inhibitor. IDH1 is a type of protein involved in metabolism, or the process of providing the body's cells with energy. FT-2102 may stop the abnormal IDH1 protein and may reduce 2-HG levels in diseased cells to levels found in normal cells. Giving ASTX727 and FT-2102 may work better in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia compared to ASTX727 and FT-2102 alone.
