Filter by:An open-label, non-randomized, multi-centre, Phase I/II trial to assess the efficacy and safety of 2 schedules of PXD101 in combination with idarubicin in patients with AML not suitable for standard intensive therapy.
AML of the older patient constitutes a major unmet clinical need since the large majority will not be found eligible for induction chemotherapy. Reasons for this decision include host factors (comorbidities, reduced performance status, functional limitations due to age), leading to often poor tolerance of repeated chemotherapy courses and the unfavorable biology underlying this disease in older patients. Low dose Decitabine has shown very promising efficacy in high-risk MDS and is therefore a very promising approach also in older AML patients. Preliminary results from several centres have demonstrated excellent feasibility and good efficacy of this treatment. Therefore the investigators intend to investigate the effects of two drugs added onto low-dose Decitabine which have shown very promising synergistic effects in vitro and for which preliminary results indicate that the combination with low-dose Decitabine is very feasible.
This study is an open-label phase II trial to investigate the efficacy and toxicity of low-dose decitabine (5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine) in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) not eligible for aggressive induction chemotherapy. AML patients above the age of 60 years (no upper age limit) who have not previously received and are not eligible for, standard induction treatment of their disease will be eligible for this trial. Decitabine will be administered as a 3 hour infusion at 15 mg/m2 three times daily on three consecutive days (total dose 135 mg/m2). In all patients with > 20000 WBC/µl, this treatment will be repeated 1 week later. In patients with white blood cells exceeding 50 000/μl, decitabine treatment will be preceded by cytoreductive doses of hydroxyurea.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of the combination of decitabine given at a fixed dose with escalating doses of rapamycin in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
The main objective of the study is to improve outcome of younger patients (between 18-60 years) with acute myeloid leukemia and intermediate risk defined by the cytogenetics. In this population, in the absence of bone marrow transplantation, event free survival (EFS) is estimated at 35% after three years of follow-up. Adjunction of gemtuzumab ozogamycin (MYLOTARG®) to standard chemotherapy is supposed to increase EFS up to 50% at 3 years. To test this hypothesis, the Groupe Ouest Est d'Etude des Leucémies et Autres Maladies du Sang (GOELAMS ) sponsored by Nantes University Hospital leads this randomized open phase III trial in 29 French centers.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ON 01910.Na Concentrate when it is administered as an intravenous continuous infusion (IVCI) over 72 hours once every 2 weeks in a broad population of MDS patients. Rationale for this study is based on the activity observed in another study with ON 01910.Na in patients with refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB) 1 and 2 MDS. This study will examine ON 01910.Na in a broader population of MDS and AML patients. This phase I/II study will establish the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) starting with a dose of 800 mg/m2 per day administered over 24 hours for 2 consecutive days as a continuous intravenous infusion, once a week for 3 weeks of a 4-week cycle and examine the efficacy and safety profile at the MTD.
The purpose of this study is to: - Test the safety of the research study drug, lenalidomide, when given with Idarubicin and Cytarabine - See how many respond to combination treatment with lenalidomide, Idarubicin and Cytarabine - See how long people respond to this combination therapy - See how long people live after being treated with this combination of drugs
This randomized allogeneic transplantation protocol compares i.v. Treosulfan-based conditioning therapy with reduced intensity i.v. Busulfan-based conditioning in adult AML and MDS patients at increased risk for standard conditioning therapies. The protocol is based on results of previous phase I/II trials evaluating Treosulfan/Fludarabine conditioning prior to allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The reference arm (reduced intensity i.v. Busulfan/Fludarabine) is considered to be accepted medical practice for the study patient population.
The study investigates if CPX-351 will be a) more effective than the standard intensive salvage AML treatment and b) more tolerable than the standard intensive salvage treatment regimens. The study compares the investigational product CPX-351 vs the standard intensive salvage treatment for first relapse AML patients.
The goal of this research study is to determine if it is feasible to collect leukemia cells from patients ahead of time (before they undergo further treatments) so that these cells (after being radiated so they will no longer grow or divide) can be given back to them as a cancer vaccine if/after the participant receives a bone marrow or blood stem cell transplant in the future. The purpose of the research study will be to collect, freeze and store leukemia calls from participants blood or bone marrow. This study is a companion study to a vaccine study.
