Leukemia clinical trials in Houston

To find a recommended dose of ASTX727 (cedazuridine/decitabine) in combination with venetoclax for pediatric patients with relapsed AML.

This phase III trial studies whether inotuzumab ozogamicin added to post-induction chemotherapy and immunotherapy (chemo-immunotherapy) for patients with High-Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) improves outcomes. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, which is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets on the surface of cells. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody that is linked to a type of chemotherapy called calicheamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to cancer cells by binding to the CD22 protein on the surface of the cancer cell and delivering calicheamicin inside the cells to kill them. Other drugs used in the chemotherapy regimen, such as cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, dexamethasone, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, methotrexate, leucovorin, mercaptopurine, prednisone, thioguanine, vincristine, and pegaspargase or calaspargase pegol 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. Blinatumomab is a specialized type of monoclonal antibody known as a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE). It works by simultaneously binding to CD19 on cancer cells and CD3 on normal immune cells, bringing them together to destroy leukemia cells. Blinatumomab is a standard part of chemo-immunotherapy treatment for B-ALL. This trial also studies the outcomes of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), and B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LLy) when treated with ALL therapy without inotuzumab ozogamicin or blinatumomab. The overall goal of this study is to understand if adding inotuzumab ozogamicin to standard of care chemo-immunotherapy maintains or improves outcomes in High Risk B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (HR B-ALL). The first part of the study includes the first phase of therapy: Induction. This part will collect information on the leukemia, as well as the effects of the initial treatment, to classify patients into post-induction treatment groups. On the second part of this study, patients with HR B-ALL will receive the remainder of the chemotherapy cycles (consolidation, blinatumomab block 1, interim maintenance 1, blinatumomab block 2, delayed intensification, interim maintenance 2, maintenance), with some patients randomized to receive inotuzumab. The patients that receive inotuzumab will not receive part of consolidation or part of delayed intensification. Other aims of this study include evaluating 1) side effects of treatment using patient-reported outcomes and health-related quality of life, 2) the best ways to help patients adhere to oral chemotherapy regimens, 3) the relationship between levels of inotuzumab ozogamicin in the blood and side effects, 4) the impact of chemo-immunotherapy on the immune system and risk of infection, and 5) the impact of social determinants of health on outcomes. Finally, this study will be the first to track the outcomes of subjects with disseminated B-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-LLy) or Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) when treated with B-ALL chemotherapy.

This phase II trial studies how well liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine and venetoclax work in treating participants with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed), does not respond to treatment (refractory), or has not been treated (untreated). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-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.

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

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well combination chemotherapy and nelarabine work in treating patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone, methotrexate, cytarabine, mercaptopurine, prednisone, pegaspargase, nelarabine, 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.

Study BH-30236-01 is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1/1b, open-label, dose escalation and expansion study in participants with relapsed/refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (R/R AML) or higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS). Phase 1, Part 1 Dose Escalation - Monotherapy will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy of BH-30236 administered orally. Approximately 50 participants may be enrolled in Phase 1, Part 1 Dose Escalation - Monotherapy. Phase 1, Part 2 Dose Escalation - Combination with Venetoclax will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy of BH-30236 administered as a combination therapy with venetoclax. Approximately 48 participants may be enrolled in Phase 1, Part 2 Dose Escalation - Combination with Venetoclax. Phase 1b (Dose Expansion) will follow Phase 1 to further understand the relationships among dose, exposure, toxicity, tolerability, and clinical activity. Up to 72 participants may be enrolled in Phase 1b of the study as a monotherapy or in combination with venetoclax.

This clinical trial studies the effects of dexrazoxane hydrochloride on biomarkers associated with cardiomyopathy and heart failure after cancer treatment. Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients receiving dexrazoxane hydrochloride may help doctors learn more about the effects of dexrazoxane hydrochloride on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.

This phase II trial studies the effect of venetoclax together with busulfan, cladribine, and fludarabine in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who are undergoing stem cell transplant. Chemotherapy drugs, such as venetoclax, busulfan, cladribine, and fludarabine, 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. Adding venetoclax to the current standard of care stem cell transplant regimen of busulfan, fludarabine, and cladribine may help to control high-risk acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin and to see how well it works when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a toxic agent called N-acetyl-gamma-calicheamicin dimethyl hydrazide (CalichDMH). Inotuzumab attaches to CD22 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers CalichDMH to kill them. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Giving inotuzumab ozogamicin together with combination chemotherapy may be a better treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if treatment with a combination of dasatinib plus ropeginterferon can help to control CML-CP. The safety of this combination will also be studied.

This study will demonstrate safety in pediatric patients with Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Cholestasis treated with Omegaven®, which is indicated as a source of calories and fatty acids in this patient population

To learn if the combination of pirtobrutinib (also called LOXO-305), venetoclax, and obinutuzumab is safe and effective when given to patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or Richter transformation (RT) who have not previously received treatment.

This trial will look at a drug called SEA-CD70 with and without azacitidine, to find out if it is safe for participants with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It will study SEA-CD70 to find out what its side effects are and if it works for AML and MDS. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. This study will have seven groups or "parts." * Part A will find out how much SEA-CD70 should be given to participants * Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe SEA-CD70 is and if it works to treat participants with MDS. * Part C will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe SEA-CD70 is and if it works to treat participants with AML. * Part D will find out how much SEA-CD70 with azacitidine should be given to participants * Part E will use the dose found in Part D to find out how safe SEA-CD70 with azacitidine is and if it works to treat participants with MDS or MDS/AML that has not been treated. * Part F will use the dose found in Part D to find out how safe SEA-CD70 with azacitidine is and if it works to treat participants with MDS or MDS/AML. * Part G will find out how much SEA-CD70 with azacitidine and with venetoclax should be given to participants with AML. Also, to evaluate safety and tolerability of PF-08046040 in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax in participants with previously untreated AML who are unfit for standard induction chemotherapy.

This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial compares the usual treatment of azacitidine and venetoclax to the combination treatment of azacitidine, venetoclax and gilteritinib in treating older and unfit patients with acute myeloid leukemia and FLT3 mutations. Azacitidine is a drug that is absorbed into DNA and leads to the activation of cancer suppressor genes, which are genes that help control cell growth. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Gilteritinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of a certain naturally occurring substance that may be needed to help cancer cells multiply. This study may help doctors find out if these different approaches are better than the usual approaches. To decide if they are better, the study doctors are looking to see if the study drugs lead to a higher percentage of patients achieving a deeper remission compared to the usual approach.

The T-RRex study evaluates the efficacy of WU-CART-007 for patients with Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL)/Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (LBL) and to WU-CART-007 as a therapy to induce complete Minimum Residual Disease (MRD) negative response
