Acute Myeloid Leukemia Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to test the safety, effects, and recommended dose of an investigational drug, ziftomenib, in addition to the standard treatment on blood cancer with Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (allo-HCT). This study plans to learn more about ziftomenib, which targets and inhibits negative interactions within cancer cells related to AML, when given after allo-HCT, to determine if it improves outcomes following allo-HCT. The name of the study drug involved in this study is: • Ziftomenib Read Less

The goal of this research study is to find the safest and most effective dose of the study drug, BXCL701, for the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). The names of the study drugs involved in this study are/is: * BXCL701 Read Less

This phase II trial studies how well a donor stem cell transplant, treosulfan, fludarabine, and total-body irradiation work in treating patients with blood cancers (hematological malignancies). Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor 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 II trial studies how well giving an umbilical cord blood transplant together with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and total-body irradiation (TBI) works in treating patients with hematologic diseases. Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and thiotepa, and TBI before a donor cord blood transplant (CBT) helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps 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. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening in patients with high-risk hematologic diseases. Read Less

The purpose of this research is to see how personal financial burden (financial toxicity) related to cancer affects the overall health and quality of life by evaluating the impact of systematic financial navigation in addition to standard financial distress interventions during cancer treatment.

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of decoy-resistant interleukin-18 (DR-18) and how well it works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that remains despite treatment (persistent) after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). HCT is the only curative therapy for most forms of AML and MDS. However, relapse occurs in a third of patients and is the most common cause of death after HCT. DR-18, a variant of the human cytokine interleukin-18, binds to IL-18 binding probein (IL-18BP) and overcomes the inhibitory effect of the IL-18BP on IL-18, which may boost the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving DR-18 may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patient with relapsed or persistent AML or MDS after HCT. Read Less

This phase I trial identifies the best dose and clinical benefit of giving pemigatinib following standard induction chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Pemigatinib selectively inhibits FGFR (fibroblast growth factor receptor) activity, a receptor that may contribute to the growth of leukemia cells. The genetic changes responsible for activating the growth of leukemia cells can be unique to each patient and can change during the course of the disease. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cytarabine and daunorubicin 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.

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. Read Less

This is a standard phase 2 study powered to demonstrate improvement in the 100 day leukemia free survival to 30% from \<10% expected with the use of reduced intensity haplo-HCT in this extremely high-risk patient cohort (based on the institutional experience using non-myeloablative / reduced intensity conditioning in a similar patient cohort). A formal safety evaluation will be done after every 6th patient enrolled and the trial will be stopped if noted to have unusually higher engraftment failure (acute GVHD rates (\>60% any grades or \>30% grade III/IV or ≥ 50% severe cGVHD) or engraftment failure rates (≥15%).

This is a Phase I/II study evaluating safety and efficacy of proteasome inhibitor (bortezomib) in combination with CPX-351 (liposomal daunorubicin and cytarabine) for the treatment of newly-diagnosed TP53-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (TP53m AML). The primary endpoint of the study is to define safety/tolerability (phase I) and preliminary efficacy profile (phase II) of the treatment. The secondary endpoints of interest are complete remission (CR) rate, detectable minimal residual disease (MRD) status, overall response rate (ORR), rate of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), treatment-related mortality (TRM), overall survival (OS), achievement of complete remission anytime in 1 year, and disease-free survival (DFS) at 1 year and 2 years. All the patient outcomes assessments will be performed as part of standard-of-care AML management. The hypothesis is the combination of bortezomib and CPX-351 will have an acceptable safety profile in this patient population based on the data from previous studies. The treatment will attenuate Nuclear Factor kB pathway activation in these cells and eradicate TP53m leukemia stem cells (LSC) leading to increased response rate and survival in these patients.

This phase I trial tests safety, side effects and best dose of iadademstat with azacitidine and venetoclax for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have not received treatment (treatment naive). Chemotherapy drugs, such as iadademstat and azacitidine 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. 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. Giving iadademstat with azacitidine and venetoclax may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with treatment naive AML. Read Less
