Effectiveness

How Rydapt Affects Patients

Midostaurin works by targeting certain proteins (kinases) that can cause cancer, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and advanced systemic mastocytosis (ASM). Taking midostaurin does not significantly affect heart rate. It can be used in combination with chemotherapy treatment to be more effective.

How Rydapt works in the body

Midostaurin works by blocking multiple receptor proteins in the body. These proteins help control cell growth, and by stopping them, midostaurin can prevent the growth of cancer cells and leukemia cells. It also helps stop the growth of mast cells. Midostaurin also inhibits organic anion transporter and multidrug resistance protein, which can help it work more effectively.

Olutasidenib + Azacitidine for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

18+
All Sexes
Sacramento, CA

This phase II trial studies how well giving olutasidenib with azacitidine, followed by olutasidenib maintenance, works in treating patients with IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have received prior treatment with venetoclax plus a hypomethylating agent (HMA-Ven). Olutasidenib and azacitidine may inhibit the growth of cancer cells by blocking certain enzymes required for cell growth. Maintenance therapy can help prevent or delay cancer from coming back. Olutasidenib with azacitidine followed by olutasidenib maintenance may be effective in treating patients with IDH1-mutated AML who have received prior HMA-Ven.

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).

Treatment Intensity for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

18+
All Sexes
Seattle, WA

This clinical trial studies whether less fit adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myeloid neoplasms are willing to let a computer program decide (randomization) whether they receive lower- or higher-intensity chemotherapy. Historically, treatment decision-making for patients with AML or myeloid neoplasms has divided patients into two categories, with patients considered fit receiving intensive "curative" chemotherapy, and patients considered unfit, such as older patients with a higher risk of early death from therapy, receiving non-intensive "palliative" therapy or no therapy. With the introduction of new treatment agents, it has become difficult to determine the difference between intensive and non-intensive therapy, especially for patients considered unfit for whom treatment-related side effects remain a concern. Treatment intensity is best identified through randomized trials but often patients are unwilling to undergo randomization due to preset beliefs. However, with improved supportive care and the awareness that new treatment agents may have similar risks as intensive therapy, it may be possible that more patients are willing to be randomized. This may help identify the best treatment intensity for less fit adults with AML or myeloid neoplasms, which may improve outcomes.

Hypomethylating Agents vs. Intensive Chemotherapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

18+
All Sexes
Houston, TX

This is a therapeutic intervention trial evaluating the clinical utility of a novel blood-based epigenetic biomarker-genome-wide 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in cell-free DNA (cfDNA)-for assessing measurable residual disease (MRD) in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The study compares the efficacy of hypomethylating agent (HMA)-based therapy versus intensive induction chemotherapy, using the 5hmC biomarker to guide post-induction treatment decisions. Approximately 112 adult patients will be enrolled and assigned to treatment arms based on a stratified sampling scheme. Blood samples will be collected at defined intervals to assess MRD status. Primary endpoints include minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate, duration of remission, event-free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS).

Combination Therapy for Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia

1 - 30
All Sexes
Houston, TX

This research study investigates the tolerability of substituting two cycles of chemotherapy into the standard pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) chemotherapy treatment regimen for patients with newly diagnosed AML at intermediate-risk (IR) and high-risk (HR) of relapse. The goal is to achieve similar or better survival with chemotherapy cycles that are intensive but less likely to cause long-term complications. Patients will enroll on this trial at the end of their first induction cycle. The two cycles to be substituted are: * "Ida-FLA" (idarubicin+fludarabine/cytarabine) as Induction 2 * "VIA" (venetoclax+idarubicin+cytarabine) as Intensification 1 of the HR treatment regimen, and Intensification 2 of the IR treatment backbone. Researchers will evaluate side effects and outcomes for up to three years after enrollment. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in optional research studies including patient surveys and blood and bone marrow sample testing.

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.
