Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which chlorambucil regimen is more effective in treating advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of different regimens of chlorambucil in treating patients who have advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy plus steroid therapy is more effective for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of different regimens of combination chemotherapy plus steroid therapy in treating children who have acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy consisting of cytarabine plus idarubicin in treating patients who have relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia.

Clinical study to evaluate safety and pharmacokinetics (primary objectives) and efficacy (secondary objective) of ET190L1-ARTEMIS™2 T-cells in patients with Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 19+ B cell Leukemia and Lymphoma

Evaluation the safety and efficacy of cord blood-derived CAR-T cells in patients with relapsed/refractory B cell leukemia/lymphoma whose disease relapsed after autologous CAR-T cells therapy or who fail to preparation for autologous CAR-T cells

The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of an individualized peptide vaccination approach in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). For this purpose, tumor-specific mutations are analyzed by comparative exome sequencing of tumor and healthy reference tissue. Expression of variants is further validated by RNA sequencing. In a second step, HLA-binding (human leukocyte antigen-binding) peptides derived from mutated protein sequences are selected for vaccination. The peptides are administered as a vaccination cocktail with adjuvant GM-CSF and Imiquimod over a course of 9 months and a total of 16 vaccinations. Primary objective is the de novo induction of a specific T cell response without unacceptable toxicity and acute GvHD (graft versus host disease).

The main purpose of this study is to determine the safe and efficacy of APR-246 in combination with azacitidine as well as to see complete remission of this patients

Clinical efficacy of FLT3 inhibitors combining with chemotherapy is usually transient and followed by emergence of drug-resistance in FLT3-ITD mutant AML. BTK is reported to be a therapeutic target in this subtype leukemia. Our previous study showed inhibition of BTK onvercome drug-resistance to FLT3 inhibitors/chemotherapy in refractory/relapsed FLT3 mutant AML. In this prospective randomized controlled study, the efficacy and safety of combination of BTK inhibitor with chemotherapy with/without FLT3 inhibitor in refractory/relapsed FLT3 mutant AML are evaluated.

This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride and to see how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride, 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, and may be safer for the heart.

Autologous T cells engineered to express an anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) will be infused back to patients with refractory /relapsed B cell malignancies, including lymphoma and leukemia. The patients will be monitored after infusion of anti-CD19 CAR-transduced T cells for safety,adverse events, persistence of anti-CD19 CAR-transduced T cells and treatment efficacy.
