A Study of T-Cell Receptor Engineered Donor T Cells in Subjects Undergoing Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (ALLOHA)

This is a multi-center, non-randomized, concurrent controlled, multi-arm, Phase 1 interventional, open-label, biologic assignment-based umbrella study evaluating the feasibility, safety and preliminary efficacy of an escalating dose regimen of up to 2 doses of TSC-100 and TSC-101 in patients with AML, MDS, or ALL following HCT from a haploidentical donor, MMUD, or MUD

Pharmacokinetic Study of Venetoclax Tablets Crushed and Dissolved Into a Solution

The use of venetoclax-based therapies for pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory malignancies is increasingly common outside of the clinical trial setting. For patients who cannot swallow tablets, it is common to crush the tablets and dissolve them in liquid to create a solution. However, no PK data exists in adults or children using crushed tablets dissolved in liquid in this manner, and as a result, the venetoclax exposure with this solution is unknown. Primary Objectives • To determine the pharmacokinetics of venetoclax when commercially available tablets are crushed and dissolved into a solution Secondary Objectives * To evaluate the safety of crushed venetoclax tablets administered as an oral solution * To determine the pharmacokinetics of venetoclax solution in patients receiving concomitant strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors * To determine potential pharmacokinetic differences based on route of venetoclax solution administration (ie. PO vs NG tube vs G-tube) * To determine the concentration of venetoclax in cerebral spinal fluid when administered as an oral solution

A Study of CRD3874-SI in People With Leukemia

The purpose of this study is to find out whether CRD3874-SI is a safe treatment for participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Conditioning Regimen in Elderly AML Patients Receiving Haplo-HSCT.

Elderly AML patients receiving conventional chemotherapy have poor prognosis. Allo-HSCT offers better long-term survival than chemotherapy, while high TRM limits its use. Current research focuses more on improving conditioning regimens to reduce TRM. Studies suggest Bu/Flu/Cy/ATG are safer and more effective for elderly AML haplo-HSCT, lowering TRM. However, prospective randomized trials are lacking. This study aims to compare Bu/Flu/Cy/ATG vs. Bu/Cy/ATG to determine if TRM can be reduced in elderly AML undergoing haplo-HSCT.

Clofarabine/Ara-C Treatment Combined With Reduced-intensity Conditioning Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation for Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Primary Treatment Failure

The present trial will establish a prospective sequential Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (allo-SCT) treatment combining both salvage chemotherapy and Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) for primary treatment failure Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), to which future innovative strategies can be compared.

Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant With Clofarabine, Busulfan and Antithymocyte Globulin (ATG) for Adult Patients With High-risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia/Myelodysplastic Syndromes (AML/MDS) or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

Clofarabine is known to have a stronger anti-tumor effect than Fludarabine and has shown its efficacy in treating aggressive acute leukemias. In addition, evidence is that it is well-tolerated with manageable side effects especially in elderly patients. Thus, replacing Fludarabine with Clofarabine in a reduced intensity transplant regimen may provide a regimen with increased anti-tumor activity without adding significant risks of toxicity.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of clofarabine in combination with IV busulfan and ATG as the backbone of a reduced intensity conditioning regimen for allogeneic stem cell transplantation for the treatment of patients with high-risk MDS/AML or ALL not eligible to conventional or standard myeloablative allo-SCT.

Comparison of Therapies Before Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Higher Risk MDS and Oligoblastic AML

To compare the event-free survival at 2 years of CPX-351 vs. conventional care regimens before allogeneic blood cell transplantation as first line treatment in patients with higher risk MDS and oligoblastic AML.

GvHD Prophylaxis in Unrelated Donor HCT: Randomized Trial Comparing PTCY Versus ATG

Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCY) has become increasingly popular in the haploidentical HCT setting because it overcomes the HLA-mismatch barrier and levels GVHD risk. This advantage may also prove useful in the context of unrelated donor (UD) transplantation. GVHD prophylaxis for matched unrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) in Europe is mainly conducted with ATG. Still, the burden of acute and chronic GVHD and especially of relapse remains high with both approaches for GVHD prevention. PTCY has not been tested against the current standard ATG for GvHD prophylaxis in large randomized trials. The goal of this trial is to compare the outcomes of PTCY and ATG for patients receiving unrelated donor PBSCT. PTCY-based prophylaxis promises to have beneficial net effects on immune reconstitution, GVHD and disease control, and thus might impact on patient survival.

CER-1236 in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), and Myelofibrosis (MF)

This is a first in human, multi center, open label, phase 1/1b study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of CER-1236 in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R), measurable residual disease (MRD) positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML), or TP53mut disease.

The safety, tolerability, and antileukemic response of ziftomenib in combination with standard of care treatments for patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia will be examined with the following agents: FLAG-IDA, low-dose cytarabine, and gilteritinib.

Intermediate-dose HAD Regimen for CEBPA Double-mutated AML

AML is highly heterogeneous in pathogenesis, and CEBPA double-mutated (CEBPAdm) AML is a common type of leukemia in China. Currently, no targeted therapies for CEBPAdm, and chemotherapy and transplantation are still the treatment options for CEBPA double-mutated AML. At present, the "3+7" treatment induction regimen of cytarabine combined with anthracyclines is still the first-line recommended regimen. In our retrospective study, the intermediate dose HAD regimen produced a 3-year RFS of 84.7% and a 3-year OS of 92.8% in CEBPAdm AML. Therefore, this project intends to confirm the efficacy of intermediate-dose HAD in the treatment of CEBPA double-mutated AML is superior to the conventional treatment regimen through the multi-center RCT study.

Venetoclax, Azacitidine and Liposomal Mitoxantrone for Newly Diagnosed AML

This is a single-arm, open-label clinical trial evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of a novel induction regimen combining Venetoclax, Azacitidine, and Liposomal Mitoxantrone (VAM) in patients with newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who are eligible for intensive chemotherapy. The study plans to enroll 27 participants. Patients will receive VAM induction therapy, followed by three cycles of intermediate-dose cytarabine consolidation. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is recommended for high-risk or MRD-positive patients in remission.

Standard-dose vs Intermediate-dose Cytarabine Induction in the Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia With RUNX1-RUNX1T1

Leukemia is one of the common malignant tumors that threaten human health. Although the efficacy of AML treatment has improved significantly in recent years, it remains one of the major diseases threatening human health. Current research on AML treatment mainly has two directions. One is the addition of new targeted therapy drugs, and the other research direction is to enhance the intensity of AML chemotherapy, including the use of large doses of anthracycline drugs or the use of high-dose cytarabine treatment. Since the 1990s, induction remission has been achieved by using anthracyclines in combination with high-dose cytarabine. The ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) contends that high-dose induction chemotherapy fails to enhance the bone marrow remission rate but elevates the chemotherapy-related mortality rate. Bradstock and the Australian Group also noted that although it does not increase the bone marrow remission rate, it can result in longer survival time and disease-free survival time. The clinical study from EORTC-GIMEMA AML-12 discovered that AML patients under the age of 45 could benefit from induction therapy incorporating high-dose cytarabine. In our previous randomized controlled clinical trials, it was found that the HAD and DA regimens containing intermediate-dose cytarabine could enhance the complete remission rate and improve the overall survival of adult AML. However, the degree of benefit varies among different AML subgroups. The abnormalities of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and CBFβ-MYH11 respectively involve a subunit of CBF (core binding factor), thus the two are collectively called CBF leukemia. Previous retrospective studies show that this type of leukemia benefits from intensified treatment regimens such as FLAG. However, at present, there is a lack of prospective randomized controlled clinical studies to confirm this. Therefore, in this study, we intend to further verify through a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial whether the induction treatment regimen containing intermediate-dose cytarabine can improve the long-term efficacy of adult RUNX1-RUNX1T1 acute myeloid leukemia.

Multicenter, Platform-type Clinical Study of Refractory/Recurrent Acute Myeloid Leukemia

To study the optimal therapeutic strategies for salvage treatment of refractory/relapsed AML, and to clarify the effectiveness and safety of various salvage treatment options. A prospective, multicenter, platform-type study was conducted to explore the overall response rate, tolerability, and survival of patients with R/R AML with different treatment regimens.

HMA-Venetoclax Induction in Newly Diagnosed AML

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a clonal haematological malignancy characterised by arrested myeloid differentiation and uncontrolled proliferation of blast cells in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. It is the most common acute leukaemia in adults and carries a high disease-related mortality. Globally, the median age of diagnosis is approximately 68 years; however, a significant proportion of patients are diagnosed below the age of 50 years, constituting the 'young fit' population for whom aggressive curative-intent therapy is most appropriate. The epidemiology of AML in South Asia and Pakistan remains incompletely characterised. Published single-centre and multi-centre data from Pakistan suggest that AML represents a major proportion of haematological malignancies presenting to tertiary centres. AFBMTC, as the largest haematology and transplant centre in Pakistan, has accumulated over 2,000 HSCT procedures since 2001 and has established the necessary infrastructure for prospective clinical research in this disease. Cytogenetic and molecular classification of AML profoundly influences prognosis and treatment decisions. The European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2022 risk stratification framework categorises AML into Favourable, Intermediate, and Adverse risk groups based on chromosomal abnormalities and somatic mutations including NPM1, FLT3-ITD, IDH1/2, RUNX1, ASXL1, TP53, and others. This framework underpins post-remission pathway assignment in the current protocol.

A Randomized Phase II Study of Hyperbaric Oxygen in Improving Engraftment in Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Transplant

The UCB transplant is a type of stem cell transplant used to treat cancer of the blood or lymph glands. The UCB transplant has advantages over other types of transplants such as ease of obtaining the umbilical cord blood, absence of donor risks, reduced risks of contagious infections, and the availability for immediate use. The UCB transplant is also associated with a lower incidence of graft versus host disease, or GvHD (in GvHD, the transplanted graft attacks the recipient organs).

Model-Informed Precision Dosing on Cyclosporine Therapy in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

The purpose of this study is to develop a new tool that helps doctors choose the right cyclosporine dose for patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation. The tool is designed to predict the best dose using sparse sampling, making it practical for everyday clinical care. It combines information about population pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine with advanced artificial intelligence techniques, including machine learning and deep learning. This tool aims to improve treatment, personalize dosing for each patient, and reduce the risk of graft-versus-host disease.

To demonstrate the efficacy of targeted and tailored sequential therapy in patients with AML.

Familial Investigations of Childhood Cancer Predisposition

NOTE: This is a research study and is not meant to be a substitute for clinical genetic testing. Families may never receive results from the study or may receive results many years from the time they enroll. If you are interested in clinical testing please consider seeing a local genetic counselor or other genetics professional. If you have already had clinical genetic testing and meet eligibility criteria for this study as shown in the Eligibility Section, you may enroll regardless of the results of your clinical genetic testing. While it is well recognized that hereditary factors contribute to the development of a subset of human cancers, the cause for many cancers remains unknown. The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has expanded knowledge in the field of hereditary cancer predisposition. Currently, more than 100 cancer predisposing genes have been identified, and it is now estimated that approximately 10% of all cancer patients have an underlying genetic predisposition. The purpose of this protocol is to identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants. For this study, the investigators will establish a Data Registry linked to a Repository of biological samples. Health information, blood samples and occasionally leftover tumor samples will be collected from individuals with familial cancer. The investigators will use NGS approaches to find changes in genes that may be important in the development of familial cancer. The information gained from this study may provide new and better ways to diagnose and care for people with hereditary cancer. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: * Establish a registry of families with clustering of cancer in which clinical data are linked to a repository of cryopreserved blood cells, germline DNA, and tumor tissues from the proband and other family members. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: * Identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants in families with clustering of cancer for which the underlying genetic basis is unknown.
