Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Clinical Trials

This study is a single-center treatment protocol with four possible preparative regimens, designed to validate the process of umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation at our institution. Enrolled patients will receive chemotherapy +/-total body radiation as a pre-transplant conditioning regimen. Patients will then receive cord blood stem cells followed by ...

Patient receives preparative therapy including cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation (TBI) of 10 Gy or total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) of 12-20 Gy, and starts immunosuppressive therapy using cyclosporine or tacrolimus, methotrexate-based prophylaxes, followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration.

Allogeneic HSCT is a potentially curative therapy for a number of malignancies. A barrier to the institution of this potentially curative strategy in hematologic malignancies is the availability of donors. Only 30% of patients in North America or Europe who may benefit from allogeneic HSCT will have an available HLA ...

Primary Endpoint To estimate the overall response rate (ORR) of the combination of standard dose azacitidine and oral dose of ascorbic acid in patients with MDS, AML, and MDS / Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN) overlap with heterozygous TET2 mutations Secondary Endpoints The safety profile of the combination in the targeted patient ...

Central Venous Catheter: If you choose to take part in this study, the chemotherapy, some of the other drugs in this study, and the stem cell transplant will be given by vein through a central venous catheter (CVC). A CVC is a sterile flexible tube and needle that will be ...

OBJECTIVES Primary To evaluate the effect of prophylactic transfer of donor CD4 cells after T-cell depleted reduced-intensity HLA-identical sibling transplantation upon the risk of relapse or progression in patients with haematological cancers (e.g. NHL, HL, CLL/PLL, PCM, AML, ALL, MDS or CMML depending on the disease status). Secondary To evaluate ...

Open-label, multi-dose, single-arm, multi-center, Phase 1, dose-escalation study to define a maximum tolerated dose and schedule (MTDS), describe preliminarily safety, and to assess PK, immunogenicity, immunomodulatory activity, and potential anti-tumor activity of MGD006 in patients with AML or MDS whose disease is not expected to benefit from cytotoxic chemotherapy. This ...

This study is a dose-escalation of BGB324, an Axl kinase inhibitor, in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), followed by a cohort expansion study of BGB324 either as a single agent in patients with AML or MDS, or in combination with cytarabine (cytosine arabinoside, Ara-C) or ...

The primary hypothesis is that digoxin can be safely added to decitabine and will increase the response rates in medically unfit patients with newly diagnosed AML/MDS or those with relapsed/refractory AML/MDS. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that the addition of digoxin to decitabine will result in distinct epigenetic alterations in AML/MDS ...

Currently, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains the only curative therapy for a majority of malignant hematologic diseases, especially acute leukemia. HSCT from MSD offers the best results for these diseases, but lack of this donor resource has restricted its wide application. HSCT from MUD provides another option, but ...
