Decitabine for Bone Marrow Disorders Occurring Before Leukemia

After my bone marrow test revealed pre-leukemia, I had two rounds of treatment (five days in one week's time) once a month in July and August 2009 (10 IV's!). I then developed a severe infection and was hospitalized for nine days. After recovering from the infection, I received packed cells and some transfusions during this time. I am now in remission! My blood work has been checked for September/October/ and part of November 2009 and all counts are up. So far, so good!

Patient Q&A Section about decitabine

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is decitabine a chemotherapy drug?

"DECITABINE is a chemotherapy drug that helps to reduce the growth of cancer cells. It is most often used to treat adults who have myelodysplastic syndromes."

Answered by AI

How long does it take decitabine to work?

"The median time for patients to achieve some level of remission for either CR or CRh was 2 months."

Answered by AI

What does decitabine treat?

"It works by decreasing the abnormal cells in the bone marrow. This helps the bone marrow to make healthy blood cells.

This drug is used to manage a number of conditions that impact the blood and bone marrow (myelodysplastic syndromes-MDS), in which the bone marrow does not produce a sufficient amount of healthy blood cells. People with MDS may experience issues such as infections, anemia, and easy bleeding/bruising. Decitabine is a chemotherapy drug that works by reducing the amount of abnormal cells in the bone marrow. This, in turn, helps the bone marrow to produce healthy blood cells."

Answered by AI

What class of drug is decitabine?

"Decitabine is a medication used to help the bone marrow produce normal blood cells, and to kill abnormal cells in the bone marrow."

CD64 CAR T Cell Therapy for Leukemia and MDS

18+
All Sexes
Aurora, CO

This is a Phase 1, open label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, expansion, persistence, and preliminary clinical activity of lentivirally transduced autologous T cells expressing anti-CD64 chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) expressing tandem CD3ζ and 4-1BB (CD3ζ/4-1BB) costimulatory domains in subjects with refractory or relapsed (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). This CAR T cell product will be referred to as "CD64 CAR T" which is CD64 directed, autologous, genetically modified CAR T cells. The primary objective identify the safety profile and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CD64 CAR T in subjects with R/R AML or MDS as determined by the defined DLTs using a standard Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design.

In-Home Treatment for Cancer

18+
All Sexes
Jacksonville, FL

This phase II trial studies whether providing cancer treatment in the home is preferred over the traditional clinic setting and if it improves treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas. Typically, drug-related cancer care is provided at a medical center which causes patients to have to spend considerable time away from their family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This may add to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families during this difficult time in their lives. The Cancer Connected Access and Remote Expertise (CARE) Beyond Walls (CCBW) program uses a specialized care team trained to provide cancer treatment in the patient's home setting. It is designed to support remote connection between the home health team and providers and Mayo clinic. This may be preferred over the traditional clinic setting which may improve treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas.

DLI-X for Leukemia

Any Age
All Sexes
Tucson, AZ

The primary objective of this proposal is to conduct the first-in-human randomized clinical trial evaluating prophylactic DLI-X (pro-DLI-X) for relapse prevention following matched sibling donor (MSD) or haploidentical (haplo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with hematologic malignancies. Additionally, the study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of therapeutic DLI-X (t-DLI-X) compared to t-DLI alone in patients with minimal residual disease (MRD+) or overt relapse post-alloHCT. For patients with CD19-positive lymphoid malignancies, the study will incorporate blinatumomab, while those with myeloid or CD19-negative lymphoid malignancies will receive t-DLI-X or t-DLI alone. We hypothesize that both pro-DLI-X and t-DLI-X, with or without blinatumomab, will demonstrate safety and superior efficacy by enhancing graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effects mediated by natural killer (NK) cells, γδ T cells, and CD8+ T cells, while maintaining manageable and treatment-responsive graft-versus-host disease (GvHD).

Fludarabine + Cytarabine + Idarubicin + Venetoclax for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

18 - 65
All Sexes
Portland, OR

This phase II trial compares induction and consolidation therapy with fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin, and venetoclax to cytarabine and daunorubicin induction and cytarabine consolidation for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients with AML often receive induction and consolidation therapy. Induction therapy is given first to get the patient's AML under control (remission). Consolidation therapy is given after the cancer has disappeared following the initial therapy. Consolidation therapy is used to kill any cancer cells that may be left in the body. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin, 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. 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 fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin, and venetoclax for induction and consolidation therapy may be more effective in treating AML.

Combination Therapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

18+
All Sexes
Seattle, WA

This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, and how well combination chemotherapy with fludarabine, high-dose cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and idarubicin (FLAG-Ida) followed immediately by reduced-intensity total body radiation therapy, called total body irradiation (TBI), and donor hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) works in treating adults age 60 and older with newly diagnosed adverse-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or other high-grade myeloid cancer. Despite advances in supportive care and the approval of more than 10 new drugs since 2017, the outcomes of older adults with adverse-risk acute myeloid leukemia and other high-grade myeloid cancers remains poor. Most patients are expected to die from their cancer or the consequences of treatment-related side effects. Donor HCT is a very important part of any curative-cancer treatment for these patients. However, while accepted as standard care for decades, this treatment exposes patients to long periods of drug-induced low blood cell counts and the problems associated with low blood counts, like infections and bleeding, which are associated with significant risk of chronic side effects and death. This study will use a different approach to the upfront curative-cancer treatment of older adults with an adverse-risk AML or other high-grade myeloid cancer. This study will use intense chemotherapy followed a few days later by lower-dose TBI and donor HCT. Chemotherapy drugs, such as idarubicin, fludarabine, high-dose cytarabine 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. G-CSF helps the bone marrow make more white blood cells in patients with low white blood cell count due to cancer treatment. This approach allows effective treatment of cancer cells and overall reduction of the period of low blood cells counts. This decreases the risk for problems associated with low blood counts, such as infection and chronic side effects. Decreasing these are important for older adults who undergo HCT. This treatment strategy may improve treatment outcomes by allowing more patients to successfully undergo donor HCT and reduce the risk of low blood cell counts and the problems associated with low blood counts. Giving chemotherapy followed immediately by reduced-intensity TBI and donor HCT may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating adults age 60 and older with newly diagnosed adverse-risk AML or other high-grade myeloid cancer.

Emapalumab for Graft-versus-Host Disease

18 - 75
All Sexes
Duarte, CA

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and effectiveness of emapalumab with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil in preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after reduced-intensity donor (allogeneic) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, melphalan, or busulfan, before a donor \[peripheral blood stem cell\] transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. When healthy stem cells for a donor are infused into a patient (allogeneic HCT), they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets. Allogeneic HCT is an established treatment, however, GVHD continues to be a major problem of allogeneic HCT that can complicate therapy. GVHD is a disease caused when cells from a donated stem cell graft attack the normal tissue of the transplant patient. Emapalumab binds to an immune system protein called interferon gamma. This may help lower the body's immune response and reduce inflammation. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Tacrolimus is a drug used to help reduce the risk of rejection by the body of organ and bone marrow transplants. Mycophenolate mofetil is a drug used to prevent GVHD after organ transplants. It is also being studied in the prevention of GVHD after stem cell transplants for cancer, and in the treatment of some autoimmune disorders. Mycophenolate mofetil is a type of immunosuppressive agent. Giving emapalumab with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in preventing GVHD in patients with AML or MDS after a reduced-intensity allogeneic HCT.

Atlanta, GA

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how safe and tolerable EPI-321 is and whether there may be early signs it is working in male or female adult (18 to 75 years) participants with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) Type 1 condition. The main questions it aims to answer are: How safe is EPI-321 and how well can people handle it over time? How does EPI-321 interact with its target and does it show early signs of working? Participants will receive a single dose of EPI-321 through a vein while being closely watched in a hospital and visit the clinic regularly for tests and checkups for about 5 years after getting EPI-321.
