Filter by:The study aims at determining the feasibility of using maintenance Decitabine therapy following remission induction and consolidation in elderly Acute Myeloid Leukemia patients who are fit for aggressive therapy. Primary: Safety and tolerability of the decitabine regimen in the post remission state. Secondary: 1. Disease-free survival - To determine the one-year disease-free survival in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in complete remission treated with Decitabine as post-consolidation maintenance therapy. 2. Overall survival
The study will be conducted as a single center Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety of administering Plerixafor administered as part of a myeloablative preparative regimen (Institutional Protocol:Fludarabine 50mg/m2/da x 4 days, Busulfan 3.2mg/kg/day x 4 days, TBI 400cGy in divided fractions) for stem cell transplant recipients with AML and to determine whether or not residual leukemic stem cells can be mobilized. Three patients will be enrolled into each of 4 sequential cohorts. Patients in the first cohort will receive 1 dose of Plerixafor (240mcg/kg sc) prior to administration of the first dose of Fludarabine and Busulfan. If tolerated it is planned to escalate the number of Plerixafor doses in the subsequent cohorts to 2. 3. and 4 to be administered before the respective 2nd, 3rd, and 4th dose of chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the tolerated dose of the combination of decitabine and midostaurin as induction (first cycle of chemotherapy) and consolidation (additional chemotherapy once a patient goes into remission) in people greater than 60 years with newly diagnosed AML or adult patients with relapsed/refractory disease.
The investigators' objective is to assess the efficacy of the combined treatment with enalapril and carvedilol in the prevention of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with hematological malignancies submitted to intensive chemotherapy with potential cardiotoxicity. The hypothesis is that these drugs administered during chemotherapy may prevent left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
RATIONALE: Belinostat and bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving belinostat together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving belinostat together with bortezomib in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of azacitidine (Vidaza) to conventional care regimens on overall survival in elderly AML patients.
Patients with refractory hematologic malignancies, including those who develop recurrent disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have a dismal prognosis. Historically, both regimen-related mortality and disease recurrence have been significant causes of treatment failure in this heavily pre-treated patient population. Novel therapeutic agents that target molecular signaling mechanisms and increase the sensitivity of leukemic cells to apoptosis may clearly play a role in this setting. This study hypothesizes that interrupting the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis using the selective CXCR4 antagonist plerixafor may be useful as a leukemic stem cell mobilizing agent for patients who are refractory to standard dose chemotherapy and in relapse after an allogeneic transplant. This hypothesis is based on the dependence of leukemia cells on MSCs for survival signals as described above and on the preclinical data that suggest increased efficacy by antileukemia agents when leukemia cells are separated from MSCs. In the present trial, the study proposes to add plerixafor to enhance the conditioning regimen cytotoxicity. At this time the goal is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of plerixafor through the process of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) evaluation. Pharmacokinetic studies will be conducted. Additional studies will quantify and the content of leukemia cells and key regulatory and effector T cell populations in the bone marrow and blood before and after exposure to this medication. If the observed outcomes of this trial are promising, it could serve as a platform on which to study further use of plerixafor as a complimentary agent with conditioning as well as other chemotherapeutic regimens for patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies.
The purpose of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of ribavirin, when given in combination with low-dose ara-C and to determine if it is safe and well-tolerated in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
The study will determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of panobinostat administered in combination with a fixed combination of cytarabine (ara-C) and mitoxantrone in adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of 4SC-203 after a single dose administration in healthy volunteers.
