Treatment Summary

Vincristine is a medication used to treat certain types of cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, and Hodgkin’s disease. It is also known under the brand names Marqibo and Vincasar. Vincristine works by killing cancer cells, but does not cause significant bone marrow suppression at recommended doses. It is often used as part of a combination cancer treatment and can cause neuropathy as a side effect.

How Vincristine Sulfate Affects Patients

Vincristine is a medicine used to treat different types of cancer such as breast cancer, Hodgkin's disease, Kaposi's sarcoma, and testicular cancer. It was first discovered in 1959 when scientists found that extracts from the periwinkle plant could help fight tumors. Vincristine works by attaching to the proteins of the cells and stopping them from dividing, which either kills the cells or stops them from multiplying. Vincristine also weakens the immune system. It only affects cells that are in certain parts of their life cycle.

How Vincristine Sulfate works in the body

Vincristine is used to fight cancer by preventing cells from dividing. It does this by blocking the movement of tubulin, a protein that helps control the division process. Vincristine may also affect the metabolism of certain molecules, the movement of calcium ions, cellular respiration, and the production of lipids and nucleic acids.

When to interrupt dosage

The dosage of Vincristine Sulfate is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, including Kaposi Sarcoma, Neoplasms and Small Cell Lung Cancer.

All Sexes
Newark, NJ

One in four older persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) report at least one suicide attempt in their lifetime, and the risk for death by suicide is 100 times higher in PLWHA than in the general population. Currently, there are no behavioral interventions that specifically address suicide prevention for older PLWHA, despite their unique biopsychosocial and structural risk factors. Through this work, investigators will adapt Dialectical Behavior Therapy, an evidence-based intervention for suicide prevention, for patients with PLWHA to be delivered by an AI-powered conversational Agent developed by our industry partner, Empower Health. Investigators will then pilot test the feasibility, usability, acceptability and preliminary efficacy to improve self-efficacy to manage negative emotions in n=50 older adults living with HIV/AIDS.

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.

Exercise for Blood Cancer Survivors

18+
All Sexes
Omaha, NE

Older survivors of blood cancer are at a high risk of accelerated biological aging, which increases their risk of developing multiple aging-related conditions. Whereas physical exercise can improve overall health, older cancer survivors do not meet the recommended physical activity, highlighting the need to develop behavioral interventions to increase adherence. Several other knowledge gaps exist to implement exercise interventions in older survivors of blood cancer; the dose and duration of exercise necessary to slow biological aging in older blood cancer survivors remain unknown. To bridge these gaps in knowledge, we have designed a Phase 2 randomized control trial to test the effects of behavioral and exercise interventions on various outcomes.

In-Home Treatment for Cancer

18+
All Sexes
Jacksonville, FL

This phase II trial studies whether providing cancer treatment in the home is preferred over the traditional clinic setting and if it improves treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas. Typically, drug-related cancer care is provided at a medical center which causes patients to have to spend considerable time away from their family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This may add to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families during this difficult time in their lives. The Cancer Connected Access and Remote Expertise (CARE) Beyond Walls (CCBW) program uses a specialized care team trained to provide cancer treatment in the patient's home setting. It is designed to support remote connection between the home health team and providers and Mayo clinic. This may be preferred over the traditional clinic setting which may improve treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas.

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).

Rituximab + Tafasitamab + NK Cells for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

18+
All Sexes
Cleveland, OH

This research study is for people who have relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) that has not responded to two or more lines of therapy. The purpose of this study is to identify the recommended dose of allogeneic NK cells in combination with IL-2, Tafasitamab and Rituximab for the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. NK cells are an investigational (experimental) treatment which means they are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). NK cells are a type of lymphocyte that's part of the body's natural immune system, and they can kill cancer cells by creating pores in the cancer cell membranes and inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death). Participants in this study will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy, as well as Allogeneic NK cells, Tafasitamab and Interleukin-2 (IL-2) by an intravenous (IV) infusion. Participants are expected to complete one cycle, and they may be eligible to complete a second cycle of the same regiment if they have stable disease, partial or complete remission at the end of the first cycle. Participants will be in this study for about 12 months.
