Non-interventional Study of Lenalidomide in the Clinical Routine Treatment of TD Patients With IPSS Low or Int-1 MDS and Isolated Del(5q)

This registry is a prospective, non-interventional, post authorisation safety study for patients diagnosed with Transfusion Dependent, IPSS low or intermediate-1-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), associated to a single abnormality of the chromosome 5 [del(5q)]. The purpose of this study is to collect additional data about the safety of an oral drug (lenalidomide, Revlimid®) that may have been prescribed to relieve anemia and decrease the need of blood transfusions. However, also patients affected by the MDS del(5q) who receive other treatments different from lenalidomide can be included in this study, if they agree.

Start: December 2014

Human Placental-Derived Stem Cell Transplantation

The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety of human placental-derived stem cells (HPDSC) given in conjunction with umbilical cord blood (UCB) stem cells in patients with various malignant or nonmalignant disorders who require a stem cell transplant. Patients will get either full dose (high-intensity) or lower dose (low intensity) chemo- and immunotherapy followed by a stem cell transplantation with UCB and HPDSC.

Start: April 2013

Study of REVLIMID (Lenalidomide) Versus Placebo in Patients With Low Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Trial Design: This clinical trial is a phase III multicenter, randomized, double blind and controlled with placebo trial and with two arms designed to assess the efficiency and toxicity of the scheme Lenalidomide versus observation in a series of 60 patients with low risk myelodysplastic syndrome associated to 5q deletion with anemia (Hb≤12g/dL) but without the need of transfusion. Patients are randomized in the study in a 2:1 ratio. They will receive treatment for 104 weeks until progression of the disease, which implies that the patient suffering from anemia due to myelodysplastic syndrome requires transfusion of at least 2 UCH/56 days (2 months) with a minimum follow up of 112 days (4 months), or unacceptable toxicity. Disease: Low risk myelodysplastic syndrome associated to the loss of 5q without transfusion requirements. Total number of patients: In total 60 patients will be included, 40 assigned to the treatment branch and 20 to the placebo branch. Calendar: First patient first visit: February 2010, and Last patient last visit expected in February 2016. (Recruitment was initially expected to take place over a period of 24 months and was expected to be finished in February 2012, but due to low rate of recruitment it was extended until the population sample is included in the trial).

Start: January 2010

NK Cells in Cord Blood Transplantation

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give natural killer cells and donor umbilical cord blood transplant in treating patients with hematological malignancies. Giving chemotherapy with or without total body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells and natural killer cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Start: May 2013

Trial to Test the Effects of Adding 1 of 2 New Treatment Agents to Commonly Used Chemotherapy Combinations

The AML18 Trial will evaluate several relevant therapeutic questions in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), as defined by the WHO, and High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome. The trial is primarily designed for patients over 60 years considered fit for an intensive chemotherapeutic approach, but younger patients who may not be considered suitable for the concurrent NCRI AML Trial for younger patients may also enter. Patients for whom intensive chemotherapy is not thought suitable may enter the concurrent NCRI trial of less intensive therapy (LI1). Approximately 1600 patients will be recruited. At entry, a randomisation will compare a standard chemotherapy schedule DA (Daunorubicin/Ara-C) combined with 1 dose of Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin, or GO) in course 1 against CPX-351. Patients who have known adverse risk cytogenetics (using Grimwade 2010 classification favourable/intermediate/adverse) at diagnosis may enter a Phase 2 evaluation of the combination of Vosaroxin plus Decitabine. Patients who achieve complete remission (CR) and who are MRD negative by flow cytometry after course one of DA will receive one further course of DA, with a randomisation to receive, either a course of DA or intermediate dose Cytarabine (IDAC) as a third course. Patients who are MRD negative by flow cytometry after course one of CPX-351 will receive up to 2 further course of CPX. Patients who fail to achieve a CR after course 1 of DA or who are MRD positive by flow cytometry or for whom MRD information is not available, are eligible to be randomised to compare DA with DA plus Cladribine (DAC) or FLAG-Ida for up to two courses of therapy. Patients who fail to achieve a CR after course 1 of CPX-351 or who are MRD positive by flow cytometry or for whom MRD information is not available are eligible to be randomised between a second course of standard dose CPX versus a repeat of the course 1 schedule. Patients receiving Vosaroxin and Decitabine are excluded from these post course 1 randomisations . Following the outcome of course 1, patients who received DA chemotherapy on course 1 will be randomised to receive further chemotherapy with the 2nd generation FLT3 inhibitor AC220. Patients randomised to AC220 will be allocated a maximum of 3 courses (short AC220) or 3 courses plus maintenance for 1 year (long AC220). Patients receiving Vosaroxin and Decitabine are excluded from this randomisation. Patients will be eligible for a non-intensive allogeneic stem cell transplant if a suitable HLA matched donor is available.

Guadecitabine and Donor Lymphocyte Infusion in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome Relapsing After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant

This phase IIa trial studies how well guadecitabine works in treating patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome that has returned after a period of improvement after allogeneic stem cell transplant. Guadecitabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving guadecitabine before the transplant may stop this from happening. Once the donated stem cells begin working, the patient's immune system may see the remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them. Giving an infusion of the donor's white blood cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) may boost this effect.

Start: June 2016

Trial of Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation for Haematological Cancers

This trial investigates stem cell transplants from partially mismatched donors in patients with blood and bone marrow cancers. The trial will test two kinds of transplants - a full intensity transplant using a high dose of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and a reduced intensity transplant with lower doses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Patients will be entered for the treatment pathway that is most appropriate for their level of health and fitness

Start: March 2013

Enasidenib and Azacitidine in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia and IDH2 Gene Mutation

This phase II trial studies how well enasidenib and azacitidine work in treating patients with IDH2 gene mutation and acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Enasidenib and azacitidine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Start: September 2018

Azacitidine and Pembrolizumab in Treating Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome

This phase II trial studies the side effects of azacitidine and pembrolizumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome. Azacitidine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving azacitidine and pembrolizumab may work better at treating myelodysplastic syndrome.

Start: November 2017

Cohort Study of New Prognostic Factors With Peripheral Blood and Bone Marrow Evaluation at the Time of Diagnosis and Relapse in Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Developing a molecular genetic test that can identify prognostic factors which can predict response to treatment, and to contribute to the establishment of future therapeutic strategies base on prognostic factors by undergoing peripheral blood and bone marrow examination of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) patients at diagnosis and relapse.

Start: September 2013

Study of Sensitization of Non-M3 AML Blasts to ATRA by Epigenetic Treatment With Tranylcypromine (TCP)

The objective of the phase I part of the trial is the determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TCP (Tranylcypromine) in combination with fixed-dose ATRA (all-trans-retinoic acid) and with fixed-dose AraC (Cytarabine) and to derive the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) in patients with non-APL AML or MDS for whom no standard treatment is available or who failed azanucleoside treatment. The objective of the phase II part of the trial is a first evaluation of the efficacy of TCP at the RP2D in combination with fixed-dose ATRA and with fixed-dose AraC as basis for further investigations of TCP
