Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

This is a phase I study of BTK inhibitor CT-1530 in patients with relapsed or refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM). The purpose of the study is to determine the MTD/RP2D of CT-1530, and evaluate its safety and tolerability as monotherapy in subjects with relapsed or refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM).

Precursor-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in childhood. Despite major advances in ALL therapy, 20% of children and 40-50% of adults fail state-of-the art first-line treatment. But there is a strong need for alternative treatments to cure chemotherapy-refractory and relapsed B cell malignancies in pediatric patients. Relapsed and refractory B cell malignancies remain a therapeutic challenge, as these diseases are characterized by adverse survival. These cancers share a cell origin from the B-cell lineage and consequent surface expression of B-lineage markers such as CD19 and CD22. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) engineered T cell therapy has recently emerged as a new modality to target B cell malignancies. CARs couple a single-chain Fv (scFv) domain directed against a B-lineage-specific antigen to T-cell activating intracellular signaling domains. CAR gene-modified T cell interaction with target cells occurs in a HLA-independent fashion, so that a single vector can be used to treat all patients with cancers that express the target antigen. Miltenyi Biotec has established a semi-automated manufacturing process that can be made available to academic settings for systematic exploration of CAR strategies in advanced clinical studies. Closed-system operation, improved robustness, simplified work flows, and reduced labor intensity, while maintaining strict adherence to regulatory guidelines, allows for decentralized manufacturing. In the proposed phase II study, the investigator will explore autologous 2nd generation CD19 CAR T cell products in patients with relapsed and refractory disease incurable with standard therapies.

The study will investigate, in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during maintenance treatment, if addition of allopurinol to conventional oral 6-mercaptopurine and methotrexate therapy, affects erythrocyte concentrations of 6-thioguanine and 6 methylmercaptopurine. The effect on hematological and liver toxicity parameters in blood will also be investigated as well as clinical toxicity.

A Non-randomized, prospective , multicenter, open uncontrolled study in patients with acute myelogenous (AML) or lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL)

The vast majority of patients with AML will die of the disease, and no standard chemotherapy regimen were defined for patients with relapsed/refractory AML. Previous studies have confirmed the efficacy of cladribine in the treatment of AML, both de novo or relapse/refractory AML. Our previous experience has shown that Cladribine in combination of CAG (G-CSF priming, low dose cytarabine, and aclarubicin) are effective with tolerable toxicity profiling.Thus, this phase 2 clincial trial is going to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cladribine in combination with G-CSF, low-dose cytarabine and aclarubicin (C-CAG) in patients with refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficiency of allogeneic cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19)-directed chimeric antigen receptor modified T cells (CART-19) infusions in patients with relapsed / refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL)

This is a pilot study utilizing Marqibo® (vincristine sulfate liposome injection) combined with dexamethasone, mitoxantrone and asparaginase (UK ALL R3) for relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has advanced and the overall survival exceeds 80% nowadays. However the overall survival of high risk ALL remains 75-90%, thus recent studies focus on treatment intensification according to the risk group. According to the previous reports, we designed a multicenter prospective trial for pediatric ALL.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is an effective therapy for acute leukemia, but relapse is the most common problem affecting long-term survivors of allo-HSCT. Therapy options for relapse include stopping immune suppression, re-induction of chemotherapy, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) or combination therapy. In this prospective randomized controlled study, the safety and efficacy of hypomethylating agents (HMA) + DLI and DLI preemptive therapy based on minimal residual disease in acute leukemia undergoing allo-HSCT are evaluated.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal disease caused by genetic mutations in Hematopoietic stem progenitor cells. Unfortunately, advanced age (>60 years old) is considered to be one of the most important adverse prognostic factors for AML, and older patients are unable to tolerate high-dose chemotherapy, due to various complications and organ dysfunction. Based on the results of the previous research, we will carry out the pretreatment regimen of decitabine + cytarabine in elderly patients with AML who have achieved disease treatment through induction therapy, and continue the transplantation program of unrelated-blood cord blood. By assessing the patient's DFS,OS,RFS and safety to determine whether the regimen is suitable for the consolidation treatment of elderly acute myeloid leukemia, further clarify the efficacy of this regimen compared with traditional consolidation therapy, and initially confirm the effect of combined with unrelated cord blood transplantation in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.
