Prospective, multi-center open label study of HLA-partially to fully matched allogeneic cryopreserved deceased donor bone marrow transplantation and living donor transplantation for patients with hematologic malignancies.

A First-in-Human Study of HLA-Partially to Fully Matched Allogenic Cryopreserved Deceased Donor Bone Marrow Transplantation for Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the safety and feasibility of allogeneic transplantation with bone marrow from a deceased donor in patients with acute and chronic leukemias, myelodysplastic syndrome, and certain lymphomas. Patients will either receive myeloablative conditioning or reduced intensity conditioning regimen prior to the transplant. Patients will be followed for 56 days for safety endpoints and remain in follow-up for one year.

Pilot of a Trial Enrollment Diversity Dashboard

The goal of this study is to test the feasibility of a data visualization tool called the Trial Enrollment Diversity Dashboard (TEDD) to ensure participant diversity in acute leukemia trial enrollment.

CD45RA Depleted Peripheral Stem Cell Addback for Viral or Fungal Infections Post TCRαβ/CD19 Depleted HSCT

The major morbidities of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant with non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched siblings are graft vs host disease (GVHD) and life threatening infections. T depletion of the donor hematopoietic stem cell graft is effective in preventing GVHD, but immune reconstitution is slow, increasing the risk of infections. An addback of donor CD45RA (naive T cells) depleted cells may improve immune reconstitution and help decrease the risk of infections.

A Phase 1/2 Study of Bleximenib in Participants With Acute Leukemia (cAMeLot-1)

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D\[s\]) of bleximenib in phase 1 Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and to determine the safety and tolerability at RP2D in Phase 1 Part 2 (Dose expansion). The purpose of the Phase 2 part of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of bleximenib at the RP2D.

Thiotepa-based Conditioning Regimen With De-escalated Post-graft Cyclophosphamide for Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Hematologic Malignancies

This phase 1 trial will investigate the safety and effectiveness of Thiotepa, Busulfan, and Fludarabine (TBF) conditioning regimen with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in HLA-matched related or unrelated donor allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT).

Myeloablative Allo HSCT With Related or Unrelated Donor for Heme Disorders

This is a Phase II study of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) using a myeloablative preparative regimen (of either total body irradiation (TBI); or, fludarabine/busulfan for patients unable to receive further radiation). followed by a post-transplant graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimen of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), tacrolimus (Tac), and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF).

Gynecological Impact of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Adults

Gynecological impact and infertility are major issues for women after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The aim of the present study is to investigate the prevalence of gynecological complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for acute leukemia in adulthood. By conducting a single-center retrospective descriptive analysis, the prevalence, follow-up and treatment of gynecological complications -including premature ovarian failure, vulvovaginal graft-versus-host-disease, cervical pathology- will be analysed

A Study of Revumenib and Mezigdomide in People With Leukemia

The purpose of this study is to find out whether the combination of mezigdomide and revumenib is a safe treatment for people with relapsed or refractory KMT2A-r, NUP98-r, and NPM1-m acute leukemias.

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.

Strength Training Exercise in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (STEP-ALL)

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children and, along with lymphoblastic lymphoma, represents the most common group of childhood lymphoid malignancies. Survival rates have improved over the years, but many children still experience long-term side effects from treatment. These can include tiredness, weak muscles, pain, nerve problems, difficulty moving, and other physical challenges. Many children with ALL are also overweight at diagnosis, and weight gain often continues during treatment. As a result, about half of childhood leukemia survivors have a BMI at or above the 85th percentile. Treatment decisions are usually based on a child's symptoms and genetic risk factors. However, some risk factors such as physical activity can be modified. Exercise during treatment may help children feel better and may even improve survival. However, research on early symptom tracking and structured exercise during the first phase of chemotherapy is limited, uses different methods, and often does not include reliable patient-reported symptoms. Effective exercise programs for children with ALL and lymphoblastic lymphoma need to consider the child's age, treatment side effects, motivation, family support, and ways to encourage long-term behavior change. Because children spend little time in the hospital during the induction phase, a mix of in-person and virtual sessions supported by real-time Zoom instruction can make it possible to offer safe and supervised exercise at home. This study will use a guided exercise plan that includes tools to track sets, repetitions, intensity, warm-up time, and perceived exertion. These tools help with consistent monitoring and support both patients and caregivers throughout the program. Twenty children newly diagnosed with ALL or lymphoblastic lymphoma who receive standard 3-4 drug induction chemotherapy will be invited to participate. Our goal is to determine whether a 9-week hybrid exercise program, combined with weekly symptom check-ins, is practical and achievable in both hospital and home settings.

Brain MRF in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults With Acute Leukemia

The survival of children, adolescents and young adults (AYA) with acute leukemia has improved dramatically over the last two decades. This success is a result of using multiple chemotherapy drugs in combination, with the inclusion of drugs that enter the brain and prevent leukemia cells from growing there. Studies in these cancer survivors have shown that the exposure to these chemotherapy drugs can lead to risks for impaired brain function, also referred to as neurocognitive side effects of chemotherapy. There is an opportunity to identify participants at risk for these side effects and to prevent their development. The purpose of this study is to incorporate a brain imaging tool known as Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) to look for brain matter changes in acute leukemia participants receiving chemotherapy. The MRF scan will be performed at diagnosis and repeated at multiple times during the entire therapy duration as well as at defined intervals after therapy is complete. Investigators would also do an electronic test of memory and brain function (cognitive function), which would be administered in a gaming format on iPads or a similar device. The goal will be to correlate results of MRF imaging with the tests of cognitive function. The benefits of this imaging technique include that it can be done quickly (in minutes), it is non-invasive, it is resistant to motion-artifacts and it can be easily repeated for comparison purposes. The advantages of the cognitive test include its short duration of 20 minutes and its gaming format making it friendly for children to use.

A High Intensity Electronic Health Intervention for the Reduction of Learning Disparities in Childhood Cancer Survivors

This clinical trial evaluates a high intensity electronic health (eHealth) intervention program for reducing learning disparities in children with cancer. Most children with leukemia and lymphoblastic lymphoma can be cured due to advancements in diagnosis and treatment. However, because treatments for these conditions target the central nervous system, these children are at increased risk for developing neurocognitive late effects (problems with attention, thinking, learning, and remembering). Fortunately, many survivors do well, but some children continue to struggle with learning and have academic difficulties after their cancer treatments. The purpose of this research study is to see whether providing parents with educational knowledge and parenting tips using videoconferencing and a special website better helps their cancer survivor child in learning and school achievement compared to typical services.

Precision-T: A Study of Orca-T in Recipients Undergoing Allogeneic Transplantation for Hematologic Malignancies

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Orca-T, an allogeneic stem cell and T-cell immunotherapy biologic manufactured for each patient (transplant recipient) from the mobilized peripheral blood of a specific, unique donor. It is composed of purified hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), purified regulatory T cells (Tregs), and conventional T cells (Tcons) in participants undergoing myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant transplantation for hematologic malignancies.

Donor Stem Cell Transplant With Treosulfan, Fludarabine, and Total-Body Irradiation for the Treatment of Hematological Malignancies

This phase II trial studies how well a donor stem cell transplant, treosulfan, fludarabine, and total-body irradiation work in treating patients with blood cancers (hematological malignancies). Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem 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. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells.

Tools for Reducing Inequity in Acute Leukemia (TRIAL): Beta Testing

This study aims to test the Tools for Reducing Inequity in Acute Leukemia (TRIAL) web-based application that is designed to support participants with acute leukemia by providing information and resources about leukemia and clinical trial participation.

Naive T Cell Depletion for Preventing Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease in Children and Young Adults With Blood Cancers Undergoing Donor Stem Cell Transplant

This phase II trial studies how well naive T-cell depletion works in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease in children and young adults with blood cancers undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Sometimes the transplanted white blood cells from a donor attack the body's normal tissues (called graft versus host disease). Removing a particular type of T cell (naive T cells) from the donor cells before the transplant may stop this from happening.

Study of QUAIL-100 in Pediatric and Young Adult Participants With High-Risk Hematologic Malignancies Who Have Received a Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Study of QUAIL-100 in Patients With High Risk Acute Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome Who Have Received Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

Reduced Intensity Allogeneic HCT in Advanced Hematologic Malignancies w/T-Cell Depleted Graft

Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) has emerged and been increasingly adopted as a modality to allow preparative conditioning pre transplant to be tolerated by older adults or those patients that are otherwise unfit for myeloablative conditioning. In this study, we aim to use RIC followed by matched related/unrelated donor, 7/8 matched related/unrelated donor, or haploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Standard strategies to control the alloreactivity following HCT utilize immunosuppressive or cytotoxic medications. In this study, we explore donor graft engineering to enrich for immmunoregulatory populations to facilitate post transplantation immune reconstitution while minimizing graft versus host disease (GVHD) with post-transplant immunosuppressive agents.

Benefits of Formalized Care Support Program Following Acute Leukemia Diagnosis

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact on anxiety between patients with a period of care support following their announcement of an acute leukemia (AL) diagnosis and patients without this accompaniment.

High-Intensity Parent Intervention Program in Improving Learning and School Functioning in Latino Children With Acute Leukemia or Lymphoblastic Lymphoma

This randomized clinical trial studies how well a high-intensity intervention parenting program works in improving learning and school functioning in Latino children with acute leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. A high-intensity intervention program may help doctors to see whether training parents or caregivers in specific parenting skills and "pro-learning" behaviors will result in better learning and school outcomes for Latino children with acute leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. It is not yet known if a high-intensity intervention program is more beneficial than a standard of care lower intensity parenting intervention.

Predictive Clinical and Biological Parameters in Acute Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Myeloproliferative Disorders-HEMATO-BIO-IPC-2013-015

HEMATO-BIO-IPC-2013-015 is a monocenter prospective longitudinal study. Our aim is to define predictive clinical and biological factors in acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative disorders by using genomics, genetics and epigenetics, in vitro and in vivo drug sensitivity studies,and translational immonulogy and immunomonitoring studies. HEMATO-BIO primary outcome measure is to identify molecular, genomic and epigenetic, pharmacologic and immunophenotypic alteration in acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative disorders by collecting, at diagnosis and/or complete remission and/or relapse: * tumor samples: marrow aspiration, blood sampling. * non-tumor samples: skin biopsy, buccal swab . from 650 patients treated at our cancer center.

Study Assessing RLT Using [177Lu]Lu-PentixaTher for Relapsed/Refractory CXCR4+ Acute Leukemia.

CXCR4 inhibition may represent a new therapeutic strategy in acute leukemia (AL) patients, not only by increasing chemosensitivity but also by preventing relapse of the disease by disruption of the interaction of residual leukemic cells with the bone marrow niche. Radiolabeled CXCR4 ligands have been developed for PET imaging (68Ga-PentixaFor; INN: Gallium (68Ga) boclatixafortide) and radioligand therapy (RLT) (\[177Lu\]Lu-PentixaTher/\[90Y\]Y-PentixaTher). \[177Lu\]Lu and \[90Y\]Y-PentixaTher have been tested in three multiple myeloma patients in named-patient use with a remarkable efficacy in 2 patients (Herrmann, 2016). Moreover, feasibility of CXCR4 PET imaging in AML was reported, providing a framework for future theranostic approaches targeting the CXCR4/CXCL12-defined leukemia-initiating cell niche (Herhaus, 2016). Here a Phase I/II study to determine maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of a RLT using \[177Lu\]Lu-PentixaTher in relapsed/refractory AL was designed. This will be a standard phase I/II 3+3 dose escalation study. Five dose levels will be tested, so 6 to 21 patients have to be included in the study.

MT2025-35 Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Using Reduced Intensity Conditioning Treosulfan and Fludarabine, With Post-Transplant Cytoxan (PTCy) for the Treatment of Hematological Diseases

This is a Phase II study following subjects proceeding with Treosulfan (36g/m2) preparative regimen followed by a related, unrelated, or partially matched family donor stem cell infusion, with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) at 40mg/kg, tacrolimus and MMF for GVHD prophylaxis.
