Clinical trial phase

22CT015: CART 19-22 co-administration

CAR T cell therapy has shifted the treatment landscape for pediatric and young adult patients with advanced B-cell leukemias. This study aims to treat patients with relapsed disease by administering two CART cell products, huCART19 and CART22-65s. The study will determine the safety and efficacy and usefulness of administering two CAR T cell products in patients with advanced B-cell leukemias.

This is a Phase 1/2b trial for the treatment of patients with either advanced or refractory B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or B-lineage lymphoblastic lymphoma. Possible procedures include medical record review, apheresis, huCART19 infusion, blood draws, physical exams, imaging, and disease assessments through bone marrows and lumbar punctures. Overall, approximately 93 subjects will be enrolled on this clinical trial.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

Carfilzomib in ALL

CHOP, in collaboration with Onyx Therapeutics, Inc., is conducting a study for children and young adults up to 21 years old, with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This clinical trial is adding the study drug, Carfilzomib, to a standard relapse chemotherapy regimen. For more information about this study, including specific eligibility criteria, please visit clinicaltrials.gov and search for "NCT02303821". To hear more about this and other available trails or get any questions answered please contact our Cancer Intake Specialist by phone at 267-426-0762 or email Oncointake@email.chop.edu.

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: No

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

Larotrectinib RAI Thyroid (LANTERN)

This study enrolls patients with newly diagnosed differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary thyroid cancer or follicular thyroid cancer) that has spread to the lungs and has a genetic mutation called and NTRK fusion. The study involves taking a study drug called larotrectinib for approximately 6 months prior to receiving radioiodine therapy (RAI). The overall goal of this study is to find out if taking the study drug before RAI works better than receiving RAI alone (the usual standard of care treatment).

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children, MRI/Imaging Studies

Conditions: Thyroid Cancer in Children, Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

ON-TRK

The goal of this observational study is to describe the safety and effectiveness of larotrectinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic TRK fusion cancer for whom a decision to treat with larotrectinib has been made before enrollment. This study will enroll participants with any tumors harboring the NTRK gene fusion including Soft Tissue Sarcomas, Central Nervous System, Melanoma, and Thyroid cancers.

Phase: N/A

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Central Nervous System (CNS) Germ Cell Tumors, Soft tissue sarcomas, Thyroid Cancer in Children

SAR443579 in AML, B-ALL, or MDS

This study involves taking a study drug called SAR443579. The overall goal of this study is to find out if the study drug is safe and effective at treating adults and children with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML), high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS), or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). This is a first-in-human research study.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Pediatric Leukemias, Relapsed/Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

Selpercatinib in Thyroid Cancer (Collaboration with the International Thyroid Oncology Group)

This study involves taking a study drug called selpercatinib. The overall goal of this study is to find out how effective the study drug is in combination with radioactive iodine (I-131) in treating people with thyroid cancer. The study drug will be given in combination with treatments you will receive as part of your regular cancer care (I-131 and thyrotropin alfa).

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: No

Category: Adults, Children

Conditions: Thyroid Cancer in Children

Selpercatinib RAI Thyroid (RAISE Trial)

This study enrolls patients with newly diagnosed differentiated thyroid cancer (papillary thyroid cancer or follicular thyroid cancer) that has spread to the lungs and has a genetic mutation called RET fusion. The study involves taking a study drug called selpercatinib for approximately 6 months prior to receiving radioiodine therapy (RAI). The overall goal of this study is to find out if taking the study drug before RAI works better than receiving RAI alone (the usual standard of care treatment).

Phase: Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Category: Adults, Children, MRI/Imaging Studies

Conditions: Thyroid Cancer in Children, Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
