NCT01044069
This study is an investigational approach that uses immune cells, called "T cells", to kill leukemia. These T cells are removed from blood, modified in a laboratory, and then put back in the body. T cells fight infections and can also kill cancer cells in some cases. However, right now T cells are unable to kill the cancer cells. For this reason we will put one gene into the T cells that allows them to recognize and kill the leukemia cells. This gene will be put in the T cells by a weakened virus. The gene will produce proteins in the T cells that help the T cells recognize the leukemia cells and possibly kill them. The doctors have found that T cells modified in this way can cure an ALL-like cancer in mice. The main goals of this study is to determine the safety and appropriate dose of these modified T cells in patients with ALL. This will be done in a "clinical trial." The dose of modified T-cells will depend on if you have disease present in your bone marrow or not. The patient will also receive chemotherapy before the T cells. We will use normally chemotherapy that is used in patients with leukemia. The chemotherapy is given to reduce leukemia and to allow the T cells to live longer.
NCT06735690
This early phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of allogeneic CMV-specific CD19-CAR T cells plus CMV-MVA vaccine and how well it works in treating patients with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia after a matched related donor (allogeneic) hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT). Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood, in this study, the T cells are cytomegalovirus (CMV) specific. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein, CD19, on the patient's cancer cells is added to the CMV-specific T cells in the laboratory. The special receptor is called a CAR. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. Vaccines made from three CMV tumor associated antigens, may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Giving allogeneic CMV-specific CD19-CAR T cells plus CMV-MVA vaccine after matched related alloHSCT may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
NCT07549516
The aim of this study is to assess the real-world effectiveness of asciminib in Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (Ph+ CML-CP) patients who were either newly diagnosed or previously treated with one ATP-competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).
NCT07499128
Background: Drugs or cell therapies to treat cancer can sometimes cause cytokine release syndrome (CRS). That is, the body makes too many cytokines after treatment. Cytokines are proteins that play a role in the immune system. CRS can cause fever, chills, fatigue, low blood pressure, or breathing problems. Researchers want to know if continuously monitoring a person s body temperature can help reduce the chance of getting serious CRS. Objective: To learn if an approved patch called TempTraq can detect fever before serious CRS develops. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with cancer who are staying at the NIH clinic for treatment with drugs or cell therapies. Design: Participants will receive TempTraq patches and a special NIH tablet. The TempTraq is a small patch applied to clean, dry skin under the arm. It continually monitors body temperature and sends the data to an application on the tablet. Participants will wear the patch most of the time they are admitted to the hospital. They could wear it for up to 15 days. The patch monitoring does not replace regular temperature checks, all participants will still have have their regular temperature checks as part of their treatment plan. Participants may also opt to use VitalTraq, another application on the tablet. They will hold the screen up to their face for about 1 minute. VitalTraq uses the camera in the tablet to measure blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing. They will do this once per day while they are in the clinic; they may do it more often if they have a fever or feel unwell. Blood may be drawn for research. Participants will be asked about their experience within 1 week after TempTraq is removed. Participants who choose to use the patch, complete its use, and return at a later date for another treatment or study, may be able to re-enroll to have the patch used again.
NCT00131014
The purpose of this study is to investigate possible genetic factors that contribute to the development of lymphomas. The databank will be used to determine whether familial lymphomas have unique genetic characteristics different from sporadic lymphomas and to attempt to identify a gene that confers an increased risk of lymphoma.
NCT05564390
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).

NOTE: This is a research study and is not meant to be a substitute for clinical genetic testing. Families may never receive results from the study or may receive results many years from the time they enroll. If you are interested in clinical testing please consider seeing a local genetic counselor or other genetics professional. If you have already had clinical genetic testing and meet eligibility criteria for this study as shown in the Eligibility Section, you may enroll regardless of the results of your clinical genetic testing. While it is well recognized that hereditary factors contribute to the development of a subset of human cancers, the cause for many cancers remains unknown. The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has expanded knowledge in the field of hereditary cancer predisposition. Currently, more than 100 cancer predisposing genes have been identified, and it is now estimated that approximately 10% of all cancer patients have an underlying genetic predisposition. The purpose of this protocol is to identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants. For this study, the investigators will establish a Data Registry linked to a Repository of biological samples. Health information, blood samples and occasionally leftover tumor samples will be collected from individuals with familial cancer. The investigators will use NGS approaches to find changes in genes that may be important in the development of familial cancer. The information gained from this study may provide new and better ways to diagnose and care for people with hereditary cancer. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: * Establish a registry of families with clustering of cancer in which clinical data are linked to a repository of cryopreserved blood cells, germline DNA, and tumor tissues from the proband and other family members. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: * Identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants in families with clustering of cancer for which the underlying genetic basis is unknown.
NCT06205498
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common form of leukemia in the adults in the Western world, with an annual incidence of approximately 5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in Italy. Acalabrutinib (CalquenceTM), a selective second-generation Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor developed by AstraZeneca, has been assessed for the treatment of CLL in three phase III clinical trials, ELEVATE-TN (treatment-naïve CLL), ASCEND and ELEVATE R/R (relapsed and refractory CLL). These pivotal randomized clinical trials established the efficacy and safety of acalabrutinib in patients with CLL and based on these data CalquenceTM received EMA approval in November 2020 for the treatment of CLL in adult patients and received AIFA (Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco) reimbursement as monotherapy in December 2021. However, further data are still required to evaluate the use of acalabrutinib in the real-life conditions of post-marketing authorization. The primary aim of ARISE study is to evaluate the time to treatment discontinuation and reasons for discontinuation for acalabrutinib in a real world setting of patients with CLL. This study will provide the first real-world data on the use of acalabrutinib in the treatment of CLL in Italy.
NCT02256137
Advances in cancer therapies have led to increasing numbers of adult survivors of pediatric malignancy. Unfortunately, treatment of childhood cancer continues to require agents designed to destroy malignant cell lines, and normal tissue is not always spared. While early treatment- related organ specific toxicities are not always apparent, many childhood cancer survivors report symptoms that interfere with daily life, including exercise induced shortness of breath, fatigue and reduced capacity to participate in physical activity. These symptoms may be a hallmark of premature aging, or frailty. Frailty is a phenotype most commonly described in older adults; it indicates persons who are highly vulnerable to adverse health outcomes. Frailty may help explain why nearly two thirds of childhood cancer survivors have at least one severe chronic health condition 30 years from diagnosis, why childhood cancer survivors are more likely than peers to be hospitalized for non-obstetrical reasons, and why they have mortality rates more than eight times higher than age-and-gender matched members of the general population. Frailty is a valuable construct because it can be distinguished from disability and co-morbidity, and is designed to capture pre-clinical states of physiologic vulnerability that identify individuals most at risk for adverse health outcomes. These investigators have recently presented data indicating that impaired fitness is present in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, brain tumor and Hodgkin lymphoma. This is relevant because frailty, characterized by a cluster of five measurements of physical fitness, is predictive of chronic disease onset, frequent hospitalization, and eventually mortality in both the elderly and in persons with chronic conditions. Using a frailty phenotype as an early predictor of later chronic disease onset will allow identification of childhood and adolescent cancer survivors at greatest risk for adverse health. An early indicator of those at risk for adverse health will allow researchers to test, and clinicians to provide, specific interventions designed to remediate functional loss, and prevent or delay onset of chronic health conditions. The investigators goals include characterizing physical frailty over a five year time span in a population of young adult survivors of childhood cancer, as well as assessing the association between frailty and the increase in the number and severity of chronic health conditions.
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.

NCT07320235
IMAGINE is a two-part trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of imetelstat in combination with azacitidine with or without venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory AML. The trial will consist of a safety run-in phase (Part A) employing a 3+3 design to monitor dose-limiting toxicities of imetelstat when administered in combination with a fixed dose of azacitidine. Part B will consist of a phase 1b trial employing a BOIN12 design to determine the optimal biological dose of imetelstat, starting at a lower dose level, in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax. Total of up to 36 participants will be accrued over 54 months at Mount Sinai Hospital. Estimated duration of trial is 114 months including recruitment, screening, treatment, and follow-up.
NCT03578367
To evaluate efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic profile of asciminib 40mg+imatinib or asciminib 60mg+imatinib versus continued imatinib and versus nilotinib in pre-treated patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP). An asciminib single agent arm (80 mg daily) was added after the primary analysis to evaluate if asciminib alone could lead to MR4.5 patients in Imatinib for at least one year who have never achieved deep molecular response (DMR).
NCT06514534
The objective of this Phase II study is to assess the potential of asciminib in managing CML-CP or CML-AP in patient carrying the T315I mutation. The presence of this mutation introduces treatment difficulties due to the limited available options. The study seeks to collect additional data on the effectiveness and safety of asciminib for these patients. By determining the drug's capacity to manage the disease and enhance patients outcomes, the study is designed to fill the unmet medical need and potentially offer a new therapeutic path for patients at a treatment deadlock.
NCT00923442
This study will collect tumor samples from people with cancers of the blood, bone marrow, or lymph glands for laboratory study of the biology of these conditions. Such studies contribute to a better understanding of cancer biology and to the development of new treatments. Planned studies include: * Examination of individual cancer cells and to search for differences compared to other types of cancer and normal cells * Examination of the chromosomes and genes in cancer cells and to search for differences compared to other types of cancer and normal cells * Development of sensitive methods to detect small amounts of cancer that remain after treatment * Search for new cancer proteins that might serve as targets for treatment * Investigation of methods to develop cancer vaccines. Patients from \>= 1 to 75 years of age with acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myelogenous leukemia, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and other hematologic malignancies may be eligible for this study. Blood or bone marrow samples will be collected when sampling is required for the patient's medical care. Cells from some individuals will be grown in test tubes, establishing cell lines or in animals, establishing xenograft models. (A xenograft is transplantation of cells of one species to another species.)
NCT07541755
This prospective multicenter study evaluates the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitor combined with venetoclax and HAG/CAG chemotherapy in refractory/relapsed T-ALL (R/R T-ALL). Despite standard chemotherapy, R/R T-ALL remains challenging, with low salvage remission rates (\~40%) and poor survival. Preclinical data suggest PD-1 blockade enhances leukemic stem cell eradication, while venetoclax (BCL-2 inhibitor) synergizes with chemotherapy. Eligible patients receive 1-2 cycles of PD-1 inhibitor + venetoclax + CAG, with responders proceeding to allo-HSCT or MRD-guided consolidation. The trial aims to improve CR rates and survival, offering a novel immunochemotherapy approach for this high-risk population.
NCT05969002
Background Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) accounts for about 25 percent of childhood cancers and for about 20 percent of adult leukemias. The disease can be treated with CAR T-cell infusion but non-central nervous system (CNS) extramedullary disease (EMD) is associated with lower rates of complete remission. 18-fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has been shown to be effective for detection of non-CNS EMD in ALL. Pre and post CAR T-cell infusion may help to predict outcomes and risk of early progression. Objectives To describe the number of adults with relapsed/refractory B-cell ALL who proceed to CAR T-cell therapy. Eligibility Participants \>=18 years with relapsed/refractory B-cell ALL who are being screened for CAR T-cell clinical trial enrollment, and Participants \<18 with relapsed/refractory B cell ALL who are being screened for CAR T-cell clinical trial enrollment and have a clinical indication for FDG PET-CT prior to CAR infusion. Design Pilot study to add screening FDG PET-CT as part of the pre-CAR T-cell baseline evaluation with additional imaging at day 28 and future timepoints pending evidence of non-CNS EMD on initial scan.
