Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

Prospectively evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CD19/CD22 dual-target CAR-T cells in the treatment of relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

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.

Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia (CLL) is the most common type of leukemia (cancer of blood cells) in adults affecting men more so than women. The main objective of this study is to assess the how effective venetoclax (Venclexta) in combination with Obinutuzumab is in treating Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). Effectiveness is assessed by achievement of best response. Venetoclax is an approved drug developed for the treatment of CLL. Approximately 50 adult participants with previously untreated CLL will be enrolled in approximately 10 to 15 sites in Russian Federation. Participants will receive oral venetoclax tablets in combination with intravenous (IV) Obinutuzumab as prescribed by the physician prior to enrolling in this study in accordance to the local practice and label. There may be a higher burden for participants in this study compared to standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

This is a phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of pCAR-19B in adults with relapsed or refractory B-ALL, and to obtain the maximum tolerated dose of pCAR-19B and phase II Recommended dose.

The objective of this study is to improve medication, symptom, and disease management of patients with hematological malignancies and multiple chronic conditions (2 or more conditions in addition to cancer) through care coordination between pharmacists working in oncology practices and those working in primary care practices (Pharmacists Coordinated care Oncology Model [PCOM]). This is a pilot study in which the investigators will examine the association between outcome measures, but the study design and sample size are insufficient to quantify the impact of OAA initiation or OAA adherence on adherence to chronic medications. This pilot study and data analyses are being done in preparation for a larger, controlled study.

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.

Italian Platelet Technology Assessment Study (IPTAS) aims at comparing bleeding frequency and severity after transfusion of standard platelets versus platelets prepared with two commercial pathogen reduction technologies (PRT) and to perform a proteomic analysis of standard versus PRT platelets. The two technologies will be analyzed separately. Primary endpoint: incidence of bleeding of grade 2 or greater in recipients of PRT platelets versus incidence in recipients of control (standard) platelets. Secondary endpoints: time to the first grade 2 or greater bleeding event after the first study transfusion; proportion of transfusions given to treat breakthrough bleeding; number of days with grade 2 or greater bleeding during the period of platelet transfusion support; number of platelet units transfused and total dose of platelets transfused per day of thrombocytopenic platelet support; proportion of patients with acute transfusion reactions; post-transfusion platelet count increments Observational endpoints: frequency of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alloimmunization, frequency of clinical refractoriness to platelet transfusion with demonstrated HLA alloimmunization, frequency of clinical refractoriness to platelet transfusion that is persistent during the period of platelet support in the absence of HLA or human platelet antigen (HPA) alloimmunization Patients will be evaluated for 4 weeks after randomization.

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.
