Blood cancers occur when the molecules that control normal cell growth are damaged. Many of these changes can be detected by directly examining parts of the cancer or cells in blood. Several alterations that occur repeatedly in certain types of blood cancers have already been identified, and these discoveries have led to the development of new drugs that target those alterations. More remain to be discovered. Some of these abnormalities include alterations in genes. Genes are the part of cells that contain the instructions which tell the investigators bodies how to grow and work, and determine physical characteristics such as hair and eye color. Genes are composed of DNA letters that spell out these instructions. Studies of the DNA molecules that make up the genes are called "molecular" analyses. Molecular analyses are ways of reading the DNA letters to identify errors in genes that may contribute to an increased risk of cancer or to the behavior of the cancer cells. Some changes in genes occur only in cancer cells. Others occur in the genes that are passed from parent to child. This research study will examine both kinds of genes. The best way to find these genes is to study large numbers of people. The investigators expect that as many 1000 individuals will enroll in this study. This research study is trying to help doctors and scientists understand why cancer occurs and to develop ways to better treat and prevent it. To participate in this study the participant must have cancer now, had it in the past, or are at risk of developing cancer. The participant will not undergo tests or procedures that are not required as part of their routine clinical care. The investigators will ask the participant to provide an additional sample from tissue that is obtained for their clinical care including blood, bone marrow, or tissue sample. The investigators will also ask for a gentle scrape of the inside of their cheek, mouthwash or a skin sample to obtain their germline DNA
NCT06303193
Background: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) are blood disorders that can cause serious complications in children and adults. MDS and MDS/MPN can also progress to acute myeloid leukemia. Treatments for these disorders are risky and not always effective. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a study drug (pacritinib) in adults and children with MDS or MDS/MPN. Eligibility: Children (aged 12 to 17 years) and adults (aged 18 years and older) with MDS or MDS/MPN. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have tests of their heart function. They may have a bone marrow biopsy: An area over the hip will be numbed; a needle will be inserted to remove a sample of soft tissue from inside the hipbone. Pacritinib is a capsule taken by mouth. All participants will take the study drug 2 times a day, every day, in 28-day cycles. They will write down the date and time they take each capsule. Doctors will assign varying dosages of the drug to different participants. Participants will have clinic visits each week during cycle 1; every 2 weeks during cycle 2; and gradually increasing to every 3 months after cycle 13. Treatment will continue for up to 8 years. Bone marrow biopsies, heart tests, and other tests will be repeated at intervals throughout the study. Participants will also fill out questionnaires about their quality of life, the symptoms of their disease, and other topics.
NCT05428969
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.
NCT03164057
The overall aim of this study is to determine if epigenetic priming with a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (DMTi) prior to chemotherapy blocks is tolerable and carries evidence of a clinical efficacy signal as determined by minimal residual disease (MRD), event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS). Tolerability for each of the agents, as well as total reduction in DNA methylation and outcome assessments will be done to simultaneously obtain preliminary biological and clinical data for each DMTi in parallel. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: * Evaluate the tolerability of five days of epigenetic priming with azacitidine and decitabine as a single agent DMTi prior to standard AML chemotherapy blocks. * Evaluate the change in genome-wide methylation burden induced by five days of epigenetic priming and the association of post-priming genome-wide methylation burden with event-free survival among pediatric AML patients. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES * Describe minimal residual disease levels following Induction I chemotherapy in patients that receive DMTi. * Estimate the event-free survival and overall survival of patients receiving a DMTi prior to chemotherapy courses.
NCT03184935
The purposes of the study is to determine the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC) in treating Myelodysplastic Syndrome patients.
NCT06847867
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if momelotinib is safe and effective for people with low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS). The trial will also examine how the body processes the drug. The study is comprised of two parts: Part 1: Participants will receive different doses of momelotinib to find the best dose by evaluating effectiveness in improving red blood cell transfusion requirements and safety. Part 2: Participants will receive dose selected from Part 1 to assess its impact on improving red blood cell transfusion requirements and safety in LR-MDS.
NCT06439199
There are 2 possible treatments for the treatment of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR-MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML): intensive curative chemotherapy , and for over-aged or co-morbid patients , non-intensive palliative chemotherapy with a hypomethylating agent (Azacytidine) associated or not with venetoclax. Pro-inflammatory cytokines and in particular IL-6 (Interleukin 6) seem to play a key role in the chemoresistance of solid cancers and AML : it would be associated with a poor prognosis of AML , would promote the proliferation of leukemic blasts , and would promote the progression of MDS to AML . In AML treated with intensive chemotherapy, researchers demonstrated that a particular kinetic profile of the FLT3 ligand and IL6 at day 22 could very significantly predict the survival of patients with AML . It therefore seems interesting to study the plasma cytokine profiles in patients with AML, HR-MDS or CMML treated non-intensively, and to see if researchers observe the same prognostic correlation as during intensive chemotherapy.
NCT07216443
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Orca-T in participants undergoing reduced intensity or non-myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) for hematologic malignancies. Orca-T is an allogeneic stem cell and T-cell immunotherapy biologic manufactured for each patient (transplant recipient) from the mobilized peripheral blood of a specific, unique donor. It is composed of purified hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), purified regulatory T cells (Tregs), and conventional T cells (Tcons).
NCT01384513
This phase II trial studies how well reduced intensity donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. 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. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening. Once the donated stem cells begin working, the patient's immune system may see the remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them. Giving an infusion of the donor's white blood cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) may boost this effect.
NCT06656494
Evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of ICP-248 in combination with azacitidine in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes.
NCT05588154
Background: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are disorders of blood stem cells that can develop into blood cancers. Treatment options are limited. To find better treatments, researchers need to better understand how MDS develops. To do that, they must be able to compare biospecimens from people with the disease to those of healthy people. Objective: This study will create a database of biospecimens collected from healthy volunteers. Eligibility: Healthy people aged 18 and older. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests. Up to 5 types of samples will be collected on 1 or more days within 1 month of screening: Blood: Blood will be drawn by inserting a needle into a vein. Saliva: Participants will scrape the insides of their cheeks with a brush. Stool: Participants will be given a container to collect stool at home. They will use a prepaid envelope to mail in the sample. Bone marrow: A sample of the soft tissue inside the bones will be drawn out. The area to be biopsied, usually the lower back, will be numbed. A needle will be inserted through a small cut to remove the sample. Participants' pain will be monitored; additional numbing medicine may be used. Skin: A piece of skin about 1/6 of an inch across will be cut away. Stitches may be used to close the wound. Participants will return to the clinic to have the stitches removed. Participants do not have to provide all of the samples listed. They will give each sample only once.
NCT05732103
The goal of this phase 1/2 multicenter, open-label, single-arm dose escalation and expansion study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of CTX-712 in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and higher risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR-MDS), or MDS/MPN (including CMML). The phase 1 part of the study consists of sequential standard 3 + 3 dose escalation, where patients will receive ascending doses of CTX-712 to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for further clinical development. This is followed by initial expansion cohorts in AML and/or HR-MDS where patients will be treated with CTX-712 at the RP2D to gain further confidence in the selected dose level. Additional expansion cohorts may be initiated if considered necessary. After RP2D is determined, Drug-Drug-Interaction cohorts will be started. The phase 2 part of the study will commence after the RP2D has been identified and confirmed and will evaluate therapeutic activity in R/R AML or R/R HR-MDS, in addition to confirmation of the safety profile.
NCT07516847
This study is a prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in improving anemia in patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Anemia is the most common clinical problem in patients with lower-risk MDS and often leads to fatigue, reduced quality of life, and the need for repeated blood transfusions. Current treatment options, including erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and other therapies, are not effective in all patients, and additional treatment options are needed. Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that is widely used for the treatment of diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. Previous studies have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors can increase hemoglobin levels, possibly by stimulating erythropoiesis. In this study, eligible patients will receive dapagliflozin 10 mg orally once daily for 24 weeks. The primary objective is to evaluate the hemoglobin response rate during the study period. Secondary objectives include changes in hemoglobin levels, transfusion requirements, and safety outcomes. This study aims to explore whether dapagliflozin can serve as a potential treatment option for anemia in patients with lower-risk MDS.
NCT03310918
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) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) receiving non-intensive therapy
NCT06465953
This study will enroll participants with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with an Isocitrate dehydrogenase protein, 1 (IDH1) mutation, who have not received treatment with a hypomethylating agent previously. Participants will be randomized to receive either ivosidenib (IVO) alone or azacitidine (AZA) alone. IVO will be administered daily throughout the 28-day treatment cycle and AZA will be administered for the first 7 days of each 28-day cycle. Study visits will be conducted every week during Cycle 1 (Days 1, 8, 15, and 22), and Day 1 of each cycle thereafter. After the last dose of treatment, participants will attend an safety follow-up visit and participants will be followed to assess overall survival. Study visits may include a bone marrow aspirate, physical exam, echocardiogram (ECHO), electrocardiogram (ECG), blood and urine analysis, and questionnaires.
NCT05636514
The goal of this project is to see if two new potential treatments (defactinib and the combination tablet of decitabine/cedazuridine) can safely be combined to improve outcomes in people with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), certain forms of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), and Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukaemia (CMML). Decitabine/cedazuridine is approved for use by the Australian Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA) as treatment for MDS. Defactinib is an experimental treatment. This means it is not an approved treatment for MDS in Australia. So far it has been given to over 625 patients in studies across the world. All study participants will receive active treatment, there is no placebo. Participants will take the decitabine/cedazuridine treatment once a day for 5 days in a row (day 1 to day 5) on its own for the first month (cycle). From month 2 participants will take the decitabine/cedazuridine treatment and will also take the defactinib treatment, both for 5 days in a row on days 1 to day 5 each month (cycle). Defactinib is taken twice a day.
