Testing the Combination of an Anti-Cancer Drug, Iadademstat, With Other Anti-Cancer Drugs (Venetoclax and Azacitidine) for Treating AML
Recruiting
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 (... Read More

A Study to Investigate Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Remibrutinib Compared With Placebo in Adults With CINDU Inadequately Controlled by H1-antihistamines
Recruiting
This is a Phase 3, parallel group, placebo-controlled, double-blind, confirmatory study in patients with CINDU, with an optional Open-label Extension (OLE). The purpose of the core period (52 weeks of treatment) of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of remibrutinib (LOU064) vs. placebo in adults suffering from CINDU inadequately controlled by H1-antihistamines (H1-AHs). The purpose of the OLE period is to collect long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability data o... Read More

Tabelecleucel for Solid Organ or Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Participants With Epstein-Barr Virus-Associated Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease (EBV+ PTLD) After Failure of Rituximab or Rituximab and Chemotherapy
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical benefit and characterize the safety profile of tabelecleucel for the treatment of Epstein-Barr virus-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (EBV+ PTLD) in the setting of (1) solid organ transplant (SOT) after failure of rituximab (SOT-R) and rituximab plus chemotherapy (SOT-R+C) or (2) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) after failure of rituximab.

Testing Early Treatment for Patients With High-Risk Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Leukemia (SLL), EVOLVE CLL/SLL Study
Recruiting
This phase III trial compares early treatment with venetoclax and obinutuzumab versus delayed treatment with venetoclax and obinutuzumab in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as obinutuzumab, may help t... Read More
