Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trials

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of combining the drugs gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) with CPX-351 in order to treat the disease, as well as to find the maximum tolerated dose level and recommended Phase 2 dose level of GO with a fixed dose of CPX-351. Read Less

This is a phase 2 study to test the hypothesis that venetoclax in combination with standard chemotherapy will be tolerable and active in pediatric patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Primary Objectives: Establish the tolerability adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy in pediatric patients with AML Estimate the proportion of patients who become minimal residual disease (MRD) negative by flow cytometry after one course of venetoclax-based induction therapy Secondary Objectives: - Estimate the rates of complete remission (CR), event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS) in pediatric patients who receive venetoclax-based chemotherapy Read Less

The purposes of the study are to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and effectiveness of Artificial Antigen Presenting Cell (AAPC)-expanded donor T-cells administered as a single infusion after an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHCT) to treat patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

The purpose of this study is to find out whether CD371-YSNVZ-IL18 CAR T cells are safe, and to look for the highest dose of CD371-YSNVZ-IL18 CAR T cells that cause few or mild side effects in participants. Read Less

This is a study to assess the safety of increasing dose levels of bexmarilimab when combined with standard of care (SoC) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML); Phase 1 aims to identify the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of bexmarilimab based on safety, tolerability and pharmacological activity; Phase 2 will investigate the preliminary efficacy of the combination treatment in selected indications from Phase 1.

Dose Escalation - Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), if possible, or minimum optimal biologic dose (OBD), and evaluate the safety and tolerability of VIP943 in subjects with advanced CD123+ hematologic malignancies Read Less

This phase II trial investigates two strategies and how well they work for the reduction of graft versus host disease in patients with acute leukemia or MDS in remission. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells. Read Less

This phase I trial finds the best dose of PVEK when given together with fludarabine, cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and idarubicin, (FLAG-Ida) regimen and studies the effectiveness of this combination therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed adverse risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other high-grade myeloid neoplasms. PVEK is a monoclonal antibody linked to a chemotherapy drug. PVEK is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD123 receptors, and delivers the chemotherapy drug to kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as idarubicin, fludarabine, high-dose cytarabine 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. G-CSF helps the bone marrow make more white blood cells in patients with low white blood cell count due to cancer treatment. Giving PVEK with the FLAG-Ida regimen may be a safe and effective treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia and other high-grade myeloid neoplasms. Read Less

This phase II clinical trial evaluates whether a modified modality of conditioning reduces treatment-related mortality (TRM) in patients who undergo a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for a hematological malignancy. HSCT is a curative therapy for many hematopoietic malignancies, however this regimen results in higher rates of TRM than other forms of treatment. In recent years, less intense conditioning regimens with radiation and chemotherapy prior to HSCT have been developed. Radiation therapy uses high energy sources to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors while chemotherapy drugs like fludarabine and cyclophosphamide work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This study evaluates whether a two-step approach with lower-intensity regimens of these treatments prior to HSCT reduces the rate of TRM. Read Less

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab and how well it works in combination with decitabine with or without venetoclax in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that is newly-diagnosed, has come back (recurrent), or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. 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. This trial may help doctors find the best dose of pembrolizumab that can be safely given in combination with decitabine with or without venetoclax, and to determine what side effects are seen with this treatment.

This research study is evaluating the impact a collaborative palliative care and oncology team will have on end-of-life outcomes, quality of end-of-life care, and the quality of life, symptoms, and mood of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving non-intensive therapy Read Less

Patients eligible for this study have a type of blood cancer Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) which has come back or has not gone away after treatment. The body has different ways of fighting disease and infection, and this research study combines two different ways of fighting cancer with antibodies and T cells with the hope that they will work together. T cells (also called T lymphocytes) are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells including tumor cells. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from bacterial and other infectious diseases. Both antibodies and T cells have been used to treat patients with cancers; they have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients when used alone. T lymphocytes can kill tumor cells but there normally are not enough of them to kill all the tumor cells. Some researchers have taken T cells from a person's blood, grown more of them in the laboratory and then given them back to the person. The antibody used in this study targets CLL-1. This antibody sticks to AML cells because of a substance (protein) on the outside of these cells called CLL-1. For this study, the antibody to CLL-1 has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood, it is now joined to the T cells. When T-cells contain an antibody that is joined to them, they are called chimeric antigen receptor T-cells or CAR-T cells. In the laboratory, the investigators have also found that T cells work better if proteins that stimulate T cells are also added, such as one called CD28. Adding the CD28 makes the cells grow better and last longer in the body, thus giving the cells a better chance of killing the leukemia or lymphoma cells. In this study we are going to attach the CLL-1 chimeric receptor that has CD28 added to it to the patient's T cells. We will then test how long the cells last. These CLL-1 chimeric antigen receptor T cells with CD28 are investigational products not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Read Less
