How Dasatinib Affects Patients

Dasatinib is a drug taken by mouth that helps to stop the growth of certain cancer cells by blocking a certain type of protein found in these cells.

How Dasatinib works in the body

Dasatinib is a drug used to treat cancer. It works by blocking the activity of certain protein kinases, which are enzymes involved in cell growth and survival. Dasatinib is able to block several different types of protein kinases, including those involved in Leukemia, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It is also able to overcome resistance to other drugs caused by mutations or other factors.

Dasatinib Reviews: What are patients saying about Dasatinib?

Dasatinib for Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Sprycel/Dasatinib can cause some tough side effects, like edema in the legs and feet. For me, this drug wasn't essential since I've already had a stem cell transplant. But if you're looking for a treatment that will keep your cancer in remission by itself, this might be the one for you.

Dasatinib for Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Chronic Myelocytic Leukemia

I've been taking dasatinib from BonHoa Pharmacy for a while now and have generally been pleased. However, I've started experiencing some new symptoms that I believe are related to the medicine. These include bone pain, difficulty breathing, and fatigue. Even so, I wouldn't want to switch medications because this is the only one I haven't had any side effects with.

Dasatinib for Type of Leukemia - Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

I was given this drug after five years of taking Gleevec, which wasn't working as well as it did in the beginning. This new drug has far fewer side effects, and my blood tests have been gradually improving since I started taking it.

CD22 CAR T-cells for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

3 - 65
All Sexes
Bethesda, MD

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of blood cancer. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy involves taking immune cells (T cells) from a person and modifying them to better target cancer cells. CAR T-cell therapy that targets a marker called CD19 has been show to can cure ALL in many children and adults. But in about 50% of patients, the ALL comes back within a year. Researchers want to find out if a second treatment with CAR T-cell therapy that targets a different marker, CD22, can keep the cancer away longer. Objective: To see if CD22 CAR T-cell therapy can keep ALL away longer. Eligibility: People aged 3 to 65 years who have no signs of cancer after CD19 CAR T-cell treatment for ALL. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart function. A sample of tissue (biopsy) will be collected from their bone marrow. They will have a fluid sample collected from the area around their spinal cord. Participants will undergo collection of their white blood cells (T cells) during a procedure called 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. The cells will be altered in a lab to create CD22 CAR T-cell therapy. Participants will take drugs over 4 consecutive days to prepare their body for the CAR T-cell therapy; then they will receive their modified T cells through a tube inserted into a vein. Some people may need to stay in the hospital during treatment. Participants will have follow-up visits for 2 years.

DLI-X for Leukemia

Any Age
All Sexes
Tucson, AZ

The primary objective of this proposal is to conduct the first-in-human randomized clinical trial evaluating prophylactic DLI-X (pro-DLI-X) for relapse prevention following matched sibling donor (MSD) or haploidentical (haplo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with hematologic malignancies. Additionally, the study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of therapeutic DLI-X (t-DLI-X) compared to t-DLI alone in patients with minimal residual disease (MRD+) or overt relapse post-alloHCT. For patients with CD19-positive lymphoid malignancies, the study will incorporate blinatumomab, while those with myeloid or CD19-negative lymphoid malignancies will receive t-DLI-X or t-DLI alone. We hypothesize that both pro-DLI-X and t-DLI-X, with or without blinatumomab, will demonstrate safety and superior efficacy by enhancing graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effects mediated by natural killer (NK) cells, γδ T cells, and CD8+ T cells, while maintaining manageable and treatment-responsive graft-versus-host disease (GvHD).

Tirzepatide + Resistance Exercise for Obesity in ALL Survivors

18+
All Sexes
Memphis, TN

This is a 28-week, single-arm, open-label phase II clinical trial evaluating the combination of Tirzepatide and remote, supervised, tailored resistance exercise training to achieve weight loss in adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) living with obesity or overweight with comorbidity. Primary Objective(s): • To evaluate the effectiveness for weight loss of the combined intervention using once weekly Tirzepatide plus remote, supervised, tailored resistance exercise (three sessions per week) in adult survivors of childhood ALL with obesity or overweight (BMI ≥27 kg/m2) with ≥1 weight-related comorbidity (hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, or cardiovascular disease). The effectiveness will be estimated as the proportion of evaluable participants who achieve at least 5% weight loss from baseline to week 28. The study will target a proportion of participants achieving 5% weight loss of 70% and consider fewer than 40% achieving 5% weight loss as unacceptable. Secondary Objective(s): * Estimate the proportion of participants who adhere to the 28-week combined intervention. Adherence to Tirzepatide will be defined as receiving at least 70% of prescribed doses. Adherence to resistance exercise will be defined as attending at least 50% of prescribed exercise sessions. Adherence to the combined intervention will be considered if participants complete the study and meet both the Tirzepatide and exercise adherence endpoint. The adherence to each component of the intervention will also be reported. * Estimate the average percentage weight loss from week 0 to 28 for participants completing the combined 28-week intervention. The study will target a mean weight reduction of 10% and consider \<5% unacceptable.

RBC Transfusion Strategy for Leukemia

18+
All Sexes
Hamilton, Canada

This pilot study aims to gather preliminary evidence on how different hemoglobin levels impact blood biomarkers related to bleeding. The feasibility of conducting a future larger clinical trial will also be assessed. Red blood cell transfusions are part of the standard of care for patients with leukemia. This study evaluates two transfusion strategies: one that maintains hemoglobin levels above the standard-of-care threshold, reflecting current routine practice; and another that maintains hemoglobin levels above 110 g/L, which is closer to the normal hemoglobin range. The normal hemoglobin range is 120-160 g/L for females and 140-180 g/L for males. Raising hemoglobin levels closer to normal values may reduce bleeding risk.

TCR-Transduced T Cells for Blood Cancers

18 - 120
All Sexes
Bethesda, MD

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.
