A Study to Find the Highest Dose of Cedazuridine and Decitabine Combination With Filgrastim as a Treatment Option After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant in Children With High-Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of ASTX727 and filgrastim for the treatment of children with high risk acute myeloid leukemia that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) who have undergone allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. ASTX727 is a combination of cedazuridine and decitabine. Cedazuridine is in a class of medications called cytidine deaminase inhibitors. It prevents the breakdown of decitabine when taken by mouth, making it more available in the body so that decitabine will have a greater effect. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Filgrastim works in synergy with decitabine and enhances its activity. Giving ATSX727 and filgrastim may be safe and tolerable in treating children with high risk, recurrent or refractory acute myeloid leukemia who have undergone allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Chemotherapy drugs, such as navitoclax, venetoclax, and decitabine, 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.

Total Marrow and Lymphoid Irradiation in Combination With Fludarabine and Melphalan as Conditioning for Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Hematopoietic Cell Transplant in Older Patients With Refractory and Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia and High-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome

This phase II trial tests the effect of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) in combination with fludarabine and melphalan as conditioning regimen in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) and that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) and are undergoing a donor (allogeneic) peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) from a matched related or unrelated donor. HCT is the only curative treatment for high-risk patients, but the side effects related to the current conditioning treatments limit the use to younger and more fit patients. TMLI is a targeted form of total body radiation that uses intensity-modulated radiation therapy to target marrow, lymph node chains, and the spleen. It is designed to reduce radiation-associated side effects and maximize the radiation therapeutic effect. Fludarabine blocks cells from making deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It is a type of purine antagonist and a type of ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor. Melphalan is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It may kill cancer cells by damaging their DNA and stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and melphalan, and TMLI before an allogeneic transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells to grow. When healthy stem cells from a related or unrelated donor, such as PBSC HCT, that closely match the patient's blood, are infused into a patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets, an may help destroy any remaining cancer cells. Giving TMLI in combination with fludarabine and melphalan as conditioning treatment for an allogeneic PBSC HCT from a matched related or unrelated donor may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating high-risk older patients with relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome.

Genetically Engineered Cells (CD83 CAR T Cells) for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of genetically engineered cells (CD83 chimeric antigen receptor \[CAR\] T cells) in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). CD83 is a protein that is found on AML blasts. Blasts are abnormal immature white blood cells that can multiply uncontrollably: filling up the bone marrow and preventing the production of other cells important for survival. CD83 CAR T cells represent a new cell therapy to eliminate AML blasts, while avoiding the risk for graft versus host disease (GVHD) after stem cell transplant to replace bone marrow or, tumor toxicity like myeloid aplasia where the body's own immune system causes damage to the bone marrow stem cells. Therefore, human CD83 CAR T cells are a promising cell-based approach to preventing two critical complications of stem-cell transplant - GVHD and relapse. Giving CD83 CAR T cells may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory AML.
