Leukemia clinical trials — recruiting now

This phase I trial tests zanubrutinib in combination with sonrotoclax for treating underrepresented ethnic and racial minorities with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Many racial and ethnic minorities face additional treatment challenges which may lead to poorer outcomes, however, there are fewer racial and ethnic minorities participating in clinical trials. Zanubrutinib, a type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor, blocks a protein called Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Sonrotoclax works by blocking a protein called B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2). This protein helps certain types of blood cancer cells to survive and grow. When sonrotoclax blocks Bcl-2, it slows down or stops the growth of cancer cells and causes them to die. Zanubrutinib and sonrotoclax have been shown to be an effective treatment for B-cell cancers. Giving zanubrutinib in combination with sonrotoclax may be effective in treating ethnic and racial minorities with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Patients with leukemia and concomitant neutropenia are at high risk of developing invasive fungal infections (IFI) that are associated with high morbidity and mortality. As these patients typically have severe thrombocytopenia, direct diagnostic sampling with invasive procedures is often not possible due to the high peri-interventional risk. Therefore, the presumptive diagnosis of IFI is primarily based on compatible lung findings on computed tomography and serologic detection of fungal cell wall components, which, however, have limited sensitivity and specificity. With the present study, the investigators aim to determine a set of specific volatile biomarkers in leukemia patients with proven or probable IFI using secondary electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (SESI-HRMS).

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are frequent diseases in elderly patients (median age: 71 years). IPSS classification defines low risk (Low and Intermediate 1), and high risk (Intermediate 2 and High) MDS. High-risk MDS (MDS-HR) have a high risk of transformation into acute leukemia with multilineage dysplasia (AML-DML). The success of Azacitidine has been mainly achieved through a rigorous empirical and clinical research, but the molecular mechanisms by which this molecule exerts its effects remain poorly characterized. The primary mode of action of Azacytidine is through DNA demethylation, and integration in to mRNA that favor traduction inhibition. The impact of this molecule on various cell death programs involved in the elimination of leukemic cells : apoptosis and autophagy is currently poorly known. The research program and clinical studies we proposed focus on two major aspects: \- Main objective: Molecular mechanism of action and resistance to Azacitidine: Role of apoptosis versus autophagy. \- Secondary Objective: Reversion of Azacytidine resistance using different drugs targeting apoptosis and/or autophagy. Our laboratory has identified new molecules to selectively induce different types of cell death (apoptosis or autophagy).

This study will explore the efficacy and safety of ivosidenib as maintenance therapy in patients with IDH1-mutated AML and high-risk MDS who are ineligible for transplantation, along with accompanying molecular biomarker research. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria will receive ivosidenib treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. This study will provide an effective maintenance treatment option for transplant-ineligible patients with IDH1-mutated AML and high-risk MDS.

Tisagenlecleucel (CTL019) is an anti-CD19 autologous Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, which has shown dramatic early results in advanced ALLs. Early loss of B-cell aplasia (recovery of B-cells in marrow/ peripheral blood within 6 months after infusion), a marker of the loss or non-functionality of the CAR T-cells, is associated to a very high risk of relapse. A reinfusion of CTL019, even after Fludarabine-Cyclophosphamide reconditioning, frequently fails to induce further expansion as observed in UPENN studies and in the Robert Debré Hospital experience. Non-persistence of CAR T-cells may be due to immune- mediated rejection or environment-mediated suppression of their growth. Evidence for increased PD-1 expression in CAR T-cells between infusion and peak expansion has been demonstrated in clinical samples. Preclinical data and few clinical data support a role of PD- 1-PD-L1 blockade in improving the effectiveness of CAR T-cell therapy. The objectives of this phase I/II study is to determine the safety, efficacy and feasibility of Nivolumab (Opdivo®)- an anti-PD1 treatment- combined to tisagenlecleucel in a cohort of relapsed or refractory B-ALL patients, aged 1-25 years old, previously treated by tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah®), with a demonstrated early loss of B-cell aplasia (within 6 months), a surrogate marker of the loss of CAR T-cells or their non- functionality. More specifically, the main objectives are: • In cohort 1 that includes patients with a MRD negative disease status combined to an early loss (within 6 months) of B-cell aplasia : To determine the optimal starting time of Nivolumab (Opdivo®) in terms of safety and efficacy among 4 candidate time points (day 14, day 11, day 5, and day - 1). • In cohort 2 that includes relapsed patients with an early loss (within 6 months) of B-cell aplasia : To estimate the feasibility in terms of safety and efficacy of a very early start of nivolumab (day-1), prior to the reinfusion of tisagenlecleucel

This clinical trial studies whether less fit adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myeloid neoplasms are willing to let a computer program decide (randomization) whether they receive lower- or higher-intensity chemotherapy. Historically, treatment decision-making for patients with AML or myeloid neoplasms has divided patients into two categories, with patients considered fit receiving intensive "curative" chemotherapy, and patients considered unfit, such as older patients with a higher risk of early death from therapy, receiving non-intensive "palliative" therapy or no therapy. With the introduction of new treatment agents, it has become difficult to determine the difference between intensive and non-intensive therapy, especially for patients considered unfit for whom treatment-related side effects remain a concern. Treatment intensity is best identified through randomized trials but often patients are unwilling to undergo randomization due to preset beliefs. However, with improved supportive care and the awareness that new treatment agents may have similar risks as intensive therapy, it may be possible that more patients are willing to be randomized. This may help identify the best treatment intensity for less fit adults with AML or myeloid neoplasms, which may improve outcomes.

The goal of this National Registry is to is to collect information from patients with rare kidney diseases, so that it that can be used for research. The purpose of this research is to: * Develop Clinical Guidelines for specific rare kidney diseases. These are written recommendations on how to diagnose and treat a medical condition. * Audit treatments and outcomes. An audit makes checks to see if what should be done is being done and asks if it could be done better. * Further the development of future treatments. Participants will be invited to participate on clinical trials and other studies. The registry has the capacity to feedback relevant information to patients and in conjunction with Patient Knows Best (Home - Patients Know Best), allows patients to provide information themselves, including their own reported quality of life and outcome measures.

Acute myeloid leukemia is a malignant disorder characterized by the rapid, uncontrolled proliferation of malignant clonal hematopoietic stem cells that accumulate as immature, undifferentiated cells (blasts) in the bone marrow and circulation. APG-115 is a potent and orally active small-molecule MDM2 inhibitor, it binds to MDM2 protein and shows potent cell growth inhibitory activity in vitro with low nanomolar potencies in a subset of human cancer cell lines. APG-115 has demonstrated its strong antitumor activities with either daily or less frequent dosing-schedules in the acute leukemia xenograft models. This is a phase 1b, open-label, three-stages study that will initially evaluate the safety and PK/PD profile of APG-115 as a single agent, followed by a combination of APG-115 + azacytidine or cytarabine in R/R AML or MDS subjects. Patients will continue treatment for maximally 6 cycles or until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity is observed or administrative discontinuation whichever occurs first. Patients who continue to be benefit after 6 cycles' treatment will receive additional cycles of treatment until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity is observed or administrative discontinuation. (As long as it is proven safe).
