Leukemia clinical trials in Miami

This is an observational case-control study to train and validate a genome-wide methylome enrichment platform to detect multiple cancer types and to differentiate amongst cancer types. The cancers included in this study are brain, breast, bladder, cervical, colorectal, endometrial, esophageal, gastric, head and neck, hepatobiliary, leukemia, lung, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, renal, sarcoma, and thyroid. These cancers were selected based on their prevalence and mortality to maximize impact on clinical care. Additionally, the ability of the whole-genome methylome enrichment platform to detect minimal residual disease after completion of cancer treatment and to detect relapse prior to clinical presentation will be evaluated in lung cancer. This cancer was selected based on the existing clinical landscape and treatment availability.

This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial studies how well ASTX727 and venetoclax plus enasidenib works compared to ASTX727 and venetoclax alone for the treatment of older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or younger patients who are considered unfit for standard treatment, and who have an abnormal change (mutation) in the IDH2 gene. This gene mutation can cause AML to grow and spread. This trial is being done to see if adding enasidenib to the usual treatment can help more patients with the IDH2 gene get rid of AML. ASTX727 is a fixed-dose formulation of two drugs, cedazuridine and decitabine. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. 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. Enasidenib works by stopping the growth and spread of tumor cells that have the IDH2 mutation. Giving ASTX727 and venetoclax plus enasidenib may work better in treating AML patients with the IDH2 mutation.

This MyeloMATCH Master Screening and Reassessment Protocol (MSRP) evaluates the use of a screening tool and specific laboratory tests to help improve participants' ability to register to clinical trials throughout the course of their myeloid cancer (acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome) treatment. This study involves testing patients' bone marrow and blood for certain biomarkers. A biomarker (sometimes called a marker) is any molecule in the body that can be measured. Doctors look at markers to learn what is happening in the body. Knowing about certain markers can give doctors more information about what is driving the cancer and how to treat it. Testing patients' bone marrow and blood will show doctors if patients have markers that specific drugs can target. The marker testing in this study will let doctors know if they can match patients with a treatment study (myeloMATCH clinical trial) that tests treatment for the type of cancer they have or continue standard of care treatment with their doctor on the Tier Advancement Pathway (TAP).

This research study is evaluating whether primary palliative care is an alternative strategy to specialty palliative care for improving quality of life, symptoms, mood, coping, and end of life outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Through this study funded by the Florida Cancer Innovation Fund, First Ascent will demonstrate state-wide feasibility of providing xDRIVE Functional Precision Medicine + Artificial Intelligence platform by assessing patient clinical benefit and health economics impacts. As this is a feasibility study, results will be returned to the physician and the physician may use the data to inform the next line of treatment. The investigator will run a prospective single-arm feasibility study providing the xDRIVE FPM AI platform to n = 210+ cancer patients throughout the state of Florida, especially those from underserved populations (pediatric patients and patients in Black, Brown, Hispanic, and rural communities).

This phase II trial studies how well inotuzumab ozogamicin works in treating younger patients with B-lymphoblastic lymphoma or CD22 positive B acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a toxic agent called ozogamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to CD22 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers ozogamicin to kill them.

This is a first-in-human Phase 1a/1b multicenter, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and anti-cancer activity of NX-5948 in patients with advanced B-cell malignancies.

A global multicenter, open-label, randomized and registrational Phase 3 study to evaluate efficacy and safety of olverembatinib combined with chemotherapy versus investigator's choice of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) combined with chemotherapy in subjects with newly-diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome-positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL).

This study is a multiple cohort, multicenter, open-label Phase 1 study with dose-escalation substudies investigating intravenous (IV) BAL0891 as monotherapy, and in combination with tislelizumab or paclitaxel, to determine the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of BAL0891 in patients with advanced solid tumors or relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. An adaptive model-based design will be used to guide the dose escalation. Subject assignment to Substudy 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be finalized following approval from the investigator and sponsor. The dose-expansion stage will be conducted with the RP2D to further evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity, safety, and tolerability in metastatic TNBC and GC.

This study collects blood and tissue samples from patients with cancer and without cancer to evaluate tests for early cancer detection. Collecting and storing samples of blood and tissue from patients with and without cancer to study in the laboratory may help researchers develop tests for the early detection of cancers.

International registry for cancer patients evaluating the feasibility and clinical utility of an Artificial Intelligence-based precision oncology clinical trial matching tool, powered by a virtual tumor boards (VTB) program, and its clinical impact on pts with advanced cancer to facilitate clinical trial enrollment (CTE), as well as the financial impact, and potential outcomes of the intervention.

To learn if olutasidenib can help to control CCUS, MDS, and/or CMML. The safety of the drug will also be studied.

B-cell Lymphoma is an aggressive and rare cancer of a type of immune cells (a white blood cell responsible for fighting infections). Follicular Lymphoma is a slow-growing type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia (cancer of blood cells). The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of ABBV-319 in adult participants in relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), R/R follicular lymphoma (FL), or R/R CLL. Adverse events will be assessed. ABBV-319 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of R/R DLBCL, R/R FL, or R/R CLL. This study will include a dose escalation phase to determine the doses of ABBV-319 that will be used in the next phase and a dose expansion phase to determine the change in disease activity in participants with R/R DLBCL, R/R FL, and R/R CLL. Approximately 154 adult participants with R/R B cell lymphomas including R/R DLBCL, R/R FL, and R/R CLL will be enrolled in the study in sites world wide. In the Dose Escalation phase of the study participants will receive escalating intravenously infused doses of ABBV-319 in 21-day cycles, until the Phase 2 dose is determined. In the dose expansion phase of the study participants receive intravenously infused ABBV-319 in 21-day cycles. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.

This phase II trial tests the effect of venetoclax and obinutuzumab followed by epcoritamab in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that have not previously received treatment. 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. Obinutuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Epcoritamab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody, binds to a protein called CD3, which is found on T cells (a type of white blood cell). It also binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (another type of white blood cell) and some lymphoma cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. The combination of venetoclax and obinutuzumab is a standard treatment for CLL/SLL and has been found to be safe and effective. Adding epcoritamab to standard treatment with venetoclax and obinutuzumab may lead to deeper and longer-lasting responses in patients with untreated CLL/SLL.

The purpose of this study is as follows: 1. Determine whether people receiving the combination treatment of olutasidenib, venetoclax, and azacitidine have the same, more, or fewer side effects compared to the usual chemotherapy treatment that people with this condition receive. 2. Determine how well the combination treatment of olutasidenib, venetoclax, and azacitidine works compared to the usual chemotherapy treatment that people with this condition receive.

This phase III trial compares standard chemotherapy to therapy with liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin-cytarabine (CPX-351) and/or gilteritinib for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia with or without FLT3 mutations. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin, cytarabine, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin, 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. CPX-351 is made up of daunorubicin and cytarabine and is made in a way that makes the drugs stay in the bone marrow longer and could be less likely to cause heart problems than traditional anthracycline drugs, a common class of chemotherapy drug. Some acute myeloid leukemia patients have an abnormality in the structure of a gene called FLT3. Genes are pieces of DNA (molecules that carry instructions for development, functioning, growth and reproduction) inside each cell that tell the cell what to do and when to grow and divide. FLT3 plays an important role in the normal making of blood cells. This gene can have permanent changes that cause it to function abnormally by making cancer cells grow. Gilteritinib may block the abnormal function of the FLT3 gene that makes cancer cells grow. The overall goals of this study are, 1) to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of CPX-351 with daunorubicin and cytarabine on people with newly diagnosed AML to find out which is better, 2) to study the effects, good and/or bad, of adding gilteritinib to AML therapy for patients with high amounts of FLT3/ITD or other FLT3 mutations and 3) to study changes in heart function during and after treatment for AML. Giving CPX-351 and/or gilteritinib with standard chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia compared to standard chemotherapy alone.

A multi-center, open-label, dose-finding study of five dose levels of APVO436 in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine (ven/aza) in adult patients with newly diagnosed, CD123+ AML.

This phase II MyeloMATCH treatment trial tests whether the standard approach of cytarabine and daunorubicin in comparison to the following experimental regimens works to shrink cancer in patients with high risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML): 1) daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome alone; 2) cytarabine and daunorubicin with venetoclax; 3) azacitidine and venetoclax; 4) daunorubicin and cytarabine liposome and venetoclax. "High-risk" refers to traits that have been known to make the AML harder to treat. Cytarabine is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. Daunorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. It also works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. Azacitidine is in a class of medications called demethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells. 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. There is evidence that these newer experimental treatment regimens may work better in getting rid of more AML compared to the standard approach of cytarabine and daunorubicin.

This study will test the safety of ruxolitinib, given at one dose that does not change, and duvelisib, given at different doses, to find out what effects, if any, the study treatment has on people with relapsed or refractory NK-cell or T-cell lymphoma. This study has three parts: dose escalation (Part 1), dose expansion (Part 2), and TFH/T-PLL cohort expansion (Part 3).

A treatment cycle is 28 days. Tagraxofusp will be administered at 9 mcg/kg IV over 15 minutes (-5 or +15 minutes) daily for 3 consecutive days (or 3 doses over a period not to exceed 10 days if postponement is required to allow for toxicity resolution), followed by azacitidine administered at 75 mg/m2 SQ or IV daily on Day 4 through Day 10. Venetoclax will begin on Day 4 and continue through Day 24 (21 consecutive days). A bone marrow biopsy (BM Bx) will be performed on Day 24 (+3 days) of Cycle 1. Subjects who do not achieve a CRm will proceed with the next cycle of Induction Phase study treatment, irrespective of hematologic laboratory values. Cycle 2+ will consist of tagraxofusp 9 mcg/kg IV over 15 minutes daily for 3 consecutive days (Day 1-3 or 3 doses over a period not to exceed 10 days if postponement is required to allow for toxicity resolution), azacitidine 75 mg/m2 SQ or IV on Day 1 through Day 7 or Days 1-7 or 1-5, 8-9 and venetoclax 400 mg daily Day 1 through Day 21. A bone marrow biopsy (BM Bx) will be performed on Day 21 (+3 days) of Cycle 2. If a CRm is obtained or maintained, the subject will move to or remain on the Continuation Phase. Subjects who do not achieve a marrow CR (CRm) after Cycle 2 will proceed with the next cycle of Induction Phase study treatment as described above, irrespective of hematologic laboratory values. If a CRm is obtained after Cycle 3 or 4, the subject will move to the Continuation Phase . If a CRm is not obtained after Cycle 4, study treatment will be discontinued and the subject will move to follow up. If per the investigator, the subject is receiving clinical benefit, study treatment may continue until toxicity or completion of 12 total cycles. A BM Bx will be performed at least every 3 cycles for these subjects.
