Clinical Trials

Every treatment that has ever made a difference in cancer care was once a part of a clinical trial. MUSC Hollings Cancer Center is committed to offering the best treatments available today while searching for even better ones for the future. Ask your doctor if a clinical trial is right for you.

 

Leukemia Trials

 

  • STUDY10817

    A Phase 2 Study of the JAK1/JAK2 Inhibitor Ruxolitinib With Chemotherapy in Children With De Novo High Risk CRLF2 Rearranged and/or JAK Pathway-Mutant Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

    This is a nonrandomized study of ruxolitinib in combination with a standard multi-agent chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Part 1 of the study will optimize the dose of study drug (ruxolitinib) in combination with the chemotherapy regimen. Part 2 will evaluate the efficacy of combination chemotherapy and ruxolitinib at the recommended dose determined in Part 1.

    HeadStart4: Newly Diagnosed Children (<10 y/o) With Medulloblastoma and Other CNS Embryonal Tumors Clinical and Molecular Risk Tailored Intensive and Compressed Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Consolidation With Randomization to Either Single Cycle or to Three Tandem Cycles of Marrow Ablative Chemotherapy With Autologous Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Rescue

    This is a prospective randomized clinical trial, to determine whether dose-intensive tandem Consolidation, in a randomized comparison with single cycle Consolidation, provides an event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). The study population will be high-risk patients (non-Wnt and non-Shh sub-groups) with medulloblastoma, and for all patients with central nervous system (CNS) embryonal tumors completing (Head Start 4) Induction. This study will further determine whether the additional labor intensity (duration of hospitalizations and short-term and long-term morbidities) associated with the tandem treatment is justified by the improvement in outcome. It is expected that the tandem (3 cycles) Consolidation regimen will produce a superior outcome compared to the single cycle Consolidation, given the substantially higher dose intensity of the tandem regimen, without significant addition of either short-term or long-term morbidities.

  • STUDY13524

    A randomized trial of low versus moderate exposure busulfan for infants with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) receiving TCRaß+/CD19+ depleted transplantation: A Phase II study by the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) and Pediatric Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Consortium (PTCTC) PIDTC \"CSIDE\" Protocol (Conditioning SCID Infants Diagnosed Early) PTCTC NMD 1801

    The investigators want to study if lower doses of chemotherapy will help babies with SCID to achieve good immunity with less short and long-term risks of complications after transplantation. This trial identifies babies with types of immune deficiencies that are most likely to succeed with this approach and offers them transplant early in life before they get severe infections or later if their infections are under control. It includes only patients receiving unrelated or mismatched related donor transplants.

  • STUDY16060

    A Multicenter Safety Study of Unlicensed, Investigational Cryopreserved Cord Blood Units (CBUs) Manufactured by the National Cord Blood Program (NCBP) and Provided for Unrelated Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation of Pediatric and Adult Patients

    The primary aim of this study is to examine the safety of administration of the unlicensed investigational NCBP HPC-CORD BLOOD products in a multi-institution setting. Therefore, the study will evaluate prospectively the incidence of serious adverse reactions as well as the incidence of all infusion related reactions after administration of the unlicensed, investigational NCBP CBU.

  • STUDY16246

    A Phase 1 Study of SEA CD70 in Myeloid Malignancies

    This is a phase 1, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation, and cohort expansion study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and antitumor activity of SEA-CD70 in adults with myeloid malignancies. The study will be conducted in up to 3 parts. Part A is a dose escalation cohort designed to identify the MTD or recommended expansion dose of SEA-CD70 in subjects with relapsed/refractory (HMA-failure) MDS. Part B is an expansion cohort designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SEA-CD70 in subjects with relapsed/refractory (HMA-failure) MDS. Part C is an expansion cohort designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SEA-CD70 in subjects with relapsed/refractory AML.
