Leukemia clinical trials in Houston

This is an open-label, two-part Phase 2 study investigating CGT9486 for the treatment of patients with Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis (AdvSM), including patients with Aggressive SM (ASM), SM with Associated Hematologic Neoplasm (SM-AHN), and Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL).

The goal of the TENACITY-01 clinical trial is to learn if CTD402 UCART is safe and effective for relapsed/refractory T-ALL/LBL patients. Participants with relapsed/refractory T-ALL/LBL over the age of 12 will be eligible to participate. Participants will receive one infusion of CTD402 on Day 0 and will be evaluated for anti-tumor activity by an independent review committee based on the NCCN criteria for T-ALL and the Lugano 2014 criteria for T-LBL. Patients will be followed for up to 24 months in this study and will be required to enroll under a separate long term follow up protocol to be followed for up to 15 years.

A non-randomized phase Ib study of PC14586 (PMV therapeutics) in patients diagnosed with TP53Y220C-mutant myeloid malignancies, including AML and MDS.

The goal of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of TERN-701, a highly selective allosteric inhibitor of BCR-ABL1, in participants with previously treated chronic phase - chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML). The study has two parts: Part 1 of the trial (Dose Escalation) will evaluate sequential dose escalation cohorts of TERN-701 administered once daily. Part 2 (Dose Expansion) consists of randomized, parallel dose expansion cohorts of TERN-701 that will further evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 recommended dose levels for expansion selected from Part 1. Part 2m (mutation cohort) will further evaluate the efficacy and safety of 500mg of TERN-701 in previously treated CP-CML participants with certain resistance mutations. In both Part 1 and Part 2, participants will receive continuous once daily dosing of TERN-701 divided into 28-day cycles. During the treatment period, participants will have scheduled visits to the trial center at Cycle 1 day 1(C1D1), C1D2 (Part 1 only), C1D8, C1D15, and C1D16 (Part 1 only), followed by Day 1 of Cycles 2 through 7, and Day 1 of every 3 cycles thereafter. Approximately 180 participants could be enrolled in this trial, up to 80 participants in Part 1 (dose escalation), including optional backfill cohorts, approximately 80 participants in Part 2 (randomized dose expansion), and approximately 20 participants in Part 2m (mutation cohort). All participants will receive active trial intervention. Four dose-level cohorts have been evaluated in Part 1; two dose levels will be evaluated in Part 2 (Randomized Dose Expansion), and one dose level will be evaluated in Part 2m (mutation cohort).

This is a long term safety study for patients who have completed a Novartis sponsored asciminib study and are judged by the investigator to benefit from continued treatment

Ziftomenib is an investigational drug in development for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with eligible genetic alterations. Ziftomenib is a type of therapy known to target the menin pathway in cancer cells. This protocol has 2 separate studies that will investigate the benefits and risks of adding ziftomenib to standard-of-care (SOC) AML treatments in patients with certain genetic mutations who have not received any treatment for their AML. In the first study, the Nonintensive Therapy Study, older patients or those with serious medical problems will receive the SOC therapies venetoclax (ven) and azacitidine (aza), plus either ziftomenib or a placebo. In the second study, the Intensive Therapy Study, medically fit patients will receive (a) the SOC therapies cytarabine and daunorubicin, plus either ziftomenib or a placebo during a first treatment phase called induction, (b) cytarabine plus either ziftomenib or a placebo during a second treatment phase called consolidation, and (c) ziftomenib or a placebo during a third treatment phase called maintenance. The physician will determine which study is the appropriate treatment for the patient, but neither the patient nor their physician will know whether the patient has been assigned to receive ziftomenib or a placebo. This design is called "double-blinded".

This phase II trial studies how well acalabrutinib and venetoclax with or without early obinutuzumab work for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma that is high risk, has come back (recurrent), or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Acalabrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Venetoclax may stop the growth cancer cells by blocking BCL-2 protein needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as obinutuzumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving acalabrutinib and venetoclax together with early obinutuzumab may improve clinical outcomes and control the disease.

This study is for older children, adolescents, and young adults with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL). Higher amounts of body fat is associated with resistance to chemotherapy in patients with B-ALL. Chemotherapy during the first month causes large gains in body fat in most people, even those who start chemotherapy at a healthy weight. This study is being done to find out if caloric restriction achieved by a personalized nutritional menu and exercise plan during routine chemotherapy can make the patient's ALL more sensitive to chemotherapy and also reduce the amount of body fat gained during treatment. The goals of this study are to help make chemotherapy more effective in treating the patient's leukemia as demonstrated by fewer patients with leukemia minimal residual disease (MRD) while also trying to reduce the amount of body fat that chemotherapy causes the patient to gain in the first month.

To learn if the combination of blinatumomab and asciminib can help to control Ph+ ALL.

The primary objective is to define the safety and tolerability of AB8939 in patients with AML by determining the dose-limiting toxicities, the maximum tolerated dose, and the recommended dose for dose expansion study.

The safety, tolerability, and antileukemic response of ziftomenib in combination with standard of care treatments for patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia will be examined with the following agents: FLAG-IDA, low-dose cytarabine, and gilteritinib.

The use of venetoclax-based therapies for pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory malignancies is increasingly common outside of the clinical trial setting. For patients who cannot swallow tablets, it is common to crush the tablets and dissolve them in liquid to create a solution. However, no PK data exists in adults or children using crushed tablets dissolved in liquid in this manner, and as a result, the venetoclax exposure with this solution is unknown. Primary Objectives • To determine the pharmacokinetics of venetoclax when commercially available tablets are crushed and dissolved into a solution Secondary Objectives * To evaluate the safety of crushed venetoclax tablets administered as an oral solution * To determine the pharmacokinetics of venetoclax solution in patients receiving concomitant strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors * To determine potential pharmacokinetic differences based on route of venetoclax solution administration (ie. PO vs NG tube vs G-tube) * To determine the concentration of venetoclax in cerebral spinal fluid when administered as an oral solution

The study will determine the safety, tolerability, recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and preliminary efficacy of BGB-11417 as monotherapy and in combination with azacitidine in participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)or MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) .

This phase II trial studies how well cladribine, idarubicin, cytarabine, and venetoclax work in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, or blastic phase chronic myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cladribine, idarubicin, cytarabine, and venetoclax, 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.

A multi-center, open-label, randomized, phase Ib study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of HQP1351 and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of HQP1351 in subjects with CML chronic phase (CP), accelerated phase (AP), or blast phase (BP) or with Ph+ ALL, who have experienced resistance or intolerance to at least two tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or in subjects with Ph+ B-cell precursor (BCP) ALL or lymphoid blast phase CML (CML LBP), who have experienced resistance or intolerance to at least one second or later generation TKI.

This study is designed as a single arm open label traditional Phase I, 3+3, study of CD4-directed chimeric antigen receptor engineered T-cells (CD4CAR) in subjects with relapsed or refractory CMML. Specifically, the study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of CD4CAR T-cells.

Patients eligible for this study have a type of blood cancer called T-cell leukemia or lymphoma (lymph gland cancer). The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No one way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research combines two different ways of fighting disease, antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are proteins that protect the body from bacterial and other diseases. T cells, or T lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells including tumor cells. Both antibodies and T cells have shown promise treating patients with cancers, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. T lymphocytes can kill tumor cells but there normally are not enough of them. Some researchers have taken T cells from a person's blood, grown more in the lab then given them back to the person. In some patients who've had recent bone marrow or stem cell transplant, the number of T cells in their blood may not be enough to grow in the lab. In this case, T cells may be collected from their previous transplant donor, who has a similar tissue type. The antibody used in this study, called anti-CD5, first came from mice that have developed immunity to human leukemia. This antibody sticks to T-cell leukemia or lymphoma cells because of a substance on the outside of these cells called CD5. CD5 antibodies have been used to treat people with T-cell leukemia and lymphoma. For this study, anti-CD5 has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the T cells. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. In the lab, investigators have also found that T cells work better if stimulating proteins, such as one called CD28, are also added. Adding the CD28 makes the cells grow better and last longer in the body, giving them a better chance of killing the leukemia or lymphoma cells. In this study investigators will attach the CD5 chimeric receptor with CD28 added to it to the patient's T cells or the previous bone marrow transplant donor's T cells. The investigators will then test how long the cells last. The decision to use the bone marrow transplant donor's T cells instead of the patient's will be based on 1) whether there is an available and willing donor and 2) the likelihood of the patient's T cells being able to grow in the lab. These CD5 chimeric receptor T cells with CD28 are investigational products not approved by the FDA. UPDATE: Please note that the Autologous Arm of this study is now closed.

This is a single center, open-label, phase II study of venetoclax (ABT-199) added to ibrutinib or acalabrutinib in patients with high-risk CLL who have received at least 12 months of ibrutinib or acalabrutinib monotherapy. The study will estimate the therapeutic efficacy of venetoclax consolidation in patients who have detectable CLL after receiving ibrutinib or acalabrutinib for at least 12 months and who have high risk CLL.

The objective of this study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile, and preliminary efficacy of BL-M11D1 in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

This phase II trial studies the effect of nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab compared to blinatumomab alone in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has come back (relapsed). Down syndrome patients with relapsed B-ALL are included in this study. Blinatumomab is an antibody, which is a protein that identifies and targets specific molecules in the body. Blinatumomab searches for and attaches itself to the cancer cell. Once attached, an immune response occurs which may kill the cancer cell. Nivolumab is a medicine that may boost a patient's immune system. Giving nivolumab in combination with blinatumomab may cause the cancer to stop growing for a period of time, and for some patients, it may lessen the symptoms, such as pain, that are caused by the cancer.
