How Sprycel Affects Patients

Dasatinib is an oral medication that helps to stop two types of proteins (BCR/ABL and Src family tyrosine kinase) from growing in the body.

How Sprycel works in the body

Dasatinib is a drug that works by stopping certain proteins from functioning. It specifically targets the proteins in the BCR-ABL, SRC family, c-KIT, EPHA2, and PDGFRβ groups. Studies have shown that dasatinib can stop the growth of leukemia cells that overexpress BCR-ABL, and can also overcome resistance caused by mutations and other drug resistance genes.

Sprycel for Type of Leukemia - Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

I'm in remission and this drug definitely played a role in that. Sure, there are some not-so-great side effects like diarrhea and bone pain, but it's worth it to me. I'll have to take this medication for the rest of my life, but that's a small price to pay.

Patient Review

7/21/2015

Sprycel for Chronic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Sprycel was effective for me in remissioning my CML within about a year of starting treatment. I had some moderate side effects at first including skin rashes, adult acne, nausea, muscle aches and extreme fatigue; however, these lessened as my dosage was reduced by my doctor. The only issue I'm having now is with blood pressure.

4/18/2019

Sprycel for Chronic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

I was diagnosed with CML 2.5 years ago and have experienced nearly every side effect imaginable: joint pain, nausea, serious fatigue, very high blood pressure, painful acne, constipation. If there's a side effect out there, I've probably had it. I wish I could take a break from the medication but my doctor won't allow it. I've been in remission for almost a year now and am grateful that the treatment has been successful. But at the end of the day, cancer sucks!

Sprycel for Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Chronic Myelocytic Leukemia

I've experienced some pretty intense bone pain as a result of both the Gleevec and Sprycel treatments. Unfortunately, Gleevec stopped working for me and Sprycel has caused a number of other problems in addition to the bone pain. I'm now disabled because of the side effects from both the disease and the medication

Sprycel for Chronic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

I was diagnosed in 2004 at age 46. I started on Gleevic 400 mg and saw great results with only minor side effects. However, after eight years it stopped being effective. So, then I switched to Sprycel 100 mg but experienced terrible fever and acne breakouts as a result. My doctor didn't want to reduce the dosage, but I eventually convinced him/her too lower it to 50 mg. It's still working now, 17 years later; however, I have developed shortness of breath from the Sprycel which is concerning.

CD22 CAR T-cells for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

3 - 65
All Sexes
Bethesda, MD

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of blood cancer. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy involves taking immune cells (T cells) from a person and modifying them to better target cancer cells. CAR T-cell therapy that targets a marker called CD19 has been show to can cure ALL in many children and adults. But in about 50% of patients, the ALL comes back within a year. Researchers want to find out if a second treatment with CAR T-cell therapy that targets a different marker, CD22, can keep the cancer away longer. Objective: To see if CD22 CAR T-cell therapy can keep ALL away longer. Eligibility: People aged 3 to 65 years who have no signs of cancer after CD19 CAR T-cell treatment for ALL. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart function. A sample of tissue (biopsy) will be collected from their bone marrow. They will have a fluid sample collected from the area around their spinal cord. Participants will undergo collection of their white blood cells (T cells) during a procedure called leukapheresis. Blood will be taken from their body through a vein. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the T cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different vein. The cells will be altered in a lab to create CD22 CAR T-cell therapy. Participants will take drugs over 4 consecutive days to prepare their body for the CAR T-cell therapy; then they will receive their modified T cells through a tube inserted into a vein. Some people may need to stay in the hospital during treatment. Participants will have follow-up visits for 2 years.

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).

All Sexes
Memphis, TN

This is a 28-week, single-arm, open-label phase II clinical trial evaluating the combination of Tirzepatide and remote, supervised, tailored resistance exercise training to achieve weight loss in adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) living with obesity or overweight with comorbidity. Primary Objective(s): • To evaluate the effectiveness for weight loss of the combined intervention using once weekly Tirzepatide plus remote, supervised, tailored resistance exercise (three sessions per week) in adult survivors of childhood ALL with obesity or overweight (BMI ≥27 kg/m2) with ≥1 weight-related comorbidity (hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, or cardiovascular disease). The effectiveness will be estimated as the proportion of evaluable participants who achieve at least 5% weight loss from baseline to week 28. The study will target a proportion of participants achieving 5% weight loss of 70% and consider fewer than 40% achieving 5% weight loss as unacceptable. Secondary Objective(s): * Estimate the proportion of participants who adhere to the 28-week combined intervention. Adherence to Tirzepatide will be defined as receiving at least 70% of prescribed doses. Adherence to resistance exercise will be defined as attending at least 50% of prescribed exercise sessions. Adherence to the combined intervention will be considered if participants complete the study and meet both the Tirzepatide and exercise adherence endpoint. The adherence to each component of the intervention will also be reported. * Estimate the average percentage weight loss from week 0 to 28 for participants completing the combined 28-week intervention. The study will target a mean weight reduction of 10% and consider \<5% unacceptable.

CMV-MVA Triplex Vaccine for Cancer

18 - 75
All Sexes
Duarte, CA

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and how well cytomegalovirus (CMV)-modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) Triplex vaccine works in enhancing CMV-specific immunity and preventing CMV viremia in patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haploHCT) has advanced to become the predominant procedure for patients lacking a matched donor. Compared to matched related donor transplants, the rate of significant CMV infection is higher in patients undergoing a haploHCT. Significant CMV infection is associated with an increased risk of complications and death. Vaccination is the main preventative approach to limit complications and death in immunocompromised patients at high risk of post-stem cell transplant infections. CMV-MVA Triplex vaccine, is a CMV vaccine based on the attenuated poxvirus, modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA), developed to enhance CMV-specific immunity in both healthy stem cell transplant donors and stem cell transplant patients to prevent significant CMV infection post-stem cell transplant. Giving CMV-MVA triplex vaccine may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in enhancing cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific immunity and preventing CMV viremia in patients undergoing a haploHCT.

TCR-Transduced T Cells for Blood Cancers

18 - 120
All Sexes
Bethesda, MD

Background: Blood cancers (such as leukemias) can be hard to treat, especially if they have mutations in the TP53 or RAS genes. These mutations can cause the cancer cells to create substances called neoepitopes. Researchers want to test a method of treating blood cancers by altering a person s T cells (a type of immune cell) to target neoepitopes. Objective: To test the use of neoepitope-specific T cells in people with blood cancers Eligibility: People aged 18 to 75 years with any of 9 blood cancers. Design: Participants will have a bone marrow biopsy: A sample of soft tissue will be removed from inside a pelvic bone. This is needed to confirm their diagnosis and the TP53 and RAS mutations in their cancer cells. They will also have a skin biopsy to look for these mutations in other tissue. Participants will undergo apheresis: Blood will be taken from their body through a vein. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the T cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different vein. The T cells will be grown to become neoepitope-specific T cells. Participants receive drugs for 3 days to prepare their body for the treatment. The modified T cells will be given through a tube inserted into a vein. Participants will need to remain in the clinic at least 7 days after treatment. Participants will have 8 follow-up visits in the first year after treatment. They will have 6 more visits over the next 4 years. Long-term follow-up will go on for 10 more years.
