cyclophosphamide

Patients are in 2 cohorts: Cohort 1: dexamethasone, methotrexate, ifosfamide, pegaspargase, and etoposide (modified SMILE) chemotherapy regimen alone and pembrolizumab in children, adolescents, and young adults with advanced stage NK lymphoma and leukemia Cohort 2: combining pralatrexate (PRX) (Cycles 1, 2, 4, 6) and brentuximab vedotin (BV) (Cycles 3, 5) to cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone in children, adolescent, and young adults with advanced peripheral T-cell lymphoma (non-anaplastic large cell lymphoma or non-NK lymphoma/leukemia) . Both groups proceed to allogeneic stem cell transplant with disease response.

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.

Background: Mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer that grows in the linings of the body; this can include the membranes that line the heart, lungs, and internal organs. Mesothelin (MSLN) is a protein that appears in high numbers in many tumors, including mesothelioma. Researchers are developing a new treatment that collects a person s own immune cells (T cells); the T cells are genetically modified to target and kill tumor cells with high levels of MSLN. Objective: To test a new treatment (TNhYP218 CAR T cells) in people with solid tumors including mesothelioma. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older with solid tumors including mesothelioma that returned or spread after standard treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. A small piece of tissue will be cut from a tumor (biopsy). The sample will be tested to see if it has enough MSLN. Participants will undergo 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. Participant s T cells will be modified in a lab to produce TNhYP218 CAR T cells. Participants will enter the hospital. For 7 days, they will receive drugs to prepare their bodies for the study treatment. TNhYP218 CAR T cells will be administered into a vein. Participants will remain in the hospital for at least 7 more days. After discharge, participants will have follow-up visits for 5 years. These visits may include imaging scans, blood and heart tests, and a new biopsy. Long-term follow-up will continue another 10 years....

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.

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children. About 90% of children and young adults who are treated for ALL can now be cured. But if the disease comes back, the survival rate drops to less than 50%. Better treatments are needed for ALL relapses. Objective: To test chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy. CARs are genetically modified cells created from each patient s own blood cells. his trial will use a new type of CAR T-cell that is targeting both CD19 and CD22 at the same time. CD19 and CD22 are proteins found on the surface of most types of ALL. Eligibility: People aged 3 to 39 with ALL or related B-cell lymphoma that has not been cured by standard therapy. Design: Participants will be screened. This will include: Physical exam Blood and urine tests Tests of their lung and heart function Imaging scans Bone marrow biopsy. A large needle will be inserted into the body to draw some tissues from the interior of a bone. Lumbar puncture. A needle will be inserted into the lower back to draw fluid from the area around the spinal cord. Participants will undergo apheresis. Their blood will circulate through a machine that separates blood into different parts. The portion containing T cells will be collected; the remaining cells and fluids will be returned to the body. The T cells will be changed in a laboratory to make them better at fighting cancer cells. Participants will receive chemotherapy starting 4 or 5 days before the CAR treatment. Participants will be admitted to the hospital. Their own modified T cells will be returned to their body. Participants will visit the clinic 2 times a week for 28 days after treatment. Follow-up will continue for 15 years....
