Clinical trials

This is a single-center, open-label, phase 2 pilot study evaluating the efficacy and safety of a response-adapted first-line treatment strategy for patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and unfavorable prognostic factors. The FINISH protocol (First-line Immuno-chemotherapy Navigated by Interim PET for Stratification and Hazard minimization In Hodgkin lymphoma) integrates nivolumab into induction therapy and tailors subsequent treatment based on interim PET-CT response. The study also includes exploratory monitoring of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to investigate its role in early response assessment and residual disease detection.

This follow-up study is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of a treatment called anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy in adults with certain B-cell blood cancers. These cancers include types that have returned after treatment or have not responded to other therapies. CAR-T cell therapy involves using a patient's own immune cells, which are modified in a lab to specifically target and destroy cancer cells with a marker called CD19. The study will look at how well patients tolerate this treatment over time, as well as its ability to keep cancer in remission or reduce its severity. Patients who have previously received CAR-T therapy in an earlier clinical trial and meet specific criteria can participate in this study. The research will include regular follow-up visits over approximately 11 months to monitor for side effects, assess cancer response, and track the activity of CAR-T cells in the body. This study does not involve additional treatments but focuses on understanding the long-term outcomes of CAR-T therapy to provide better care for patients in the future.

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of high versus low intensity therapy options in patients with refractory forms and early relapses of acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) who are scheduled for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT).

Non-intensive But Non-interruptive Treatment based on previously study RALL-2016 of Adult Ph-negative Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: No high-dose methotrexate (MTX) and high-dose cytarabine (ARA-C) consolidation blocks, L-asparaginaseis scheduled for 1 year of treatment, 21 intrathecal injections through the whole treament, T-ALL patients in complete remission (CR) with MRD-positive status after 2nd induction receive consolidation 1-3 with venetoclax (56 days), and B-ALL patients in complete remission (CR) with MRD-positive status after 2nd induction receive 1 consolidation with blinatumomab. After that consolidation bone samples are collected and tested for MRD and patients will continue therapy by protocol without HSCT if MRD-negative (by flow cytometry by aberrant immunophenotype in a centralized lab) status was achieved.

This compares the effects of nivolumab at a fixed dose of 40 mg with chemo-immunotherapy versus chemo-immunotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Treatment for PMBCL involves chemotherapy combined with an immunotherapy called rituximab. Chemotherapy drugs 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. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving nivolumab with chemo-immunotherapy may help treat patients with PMBCL.
