Filter by:The purpose of this study is to learn about possible changes in brain anatomy and in thinking abilities, such as memory skills, in patients with cancer who receive treatment with chemotherapy alone or in combination with total body radiation before undergoing stem cell transplantation.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as clofarabine and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. Colony stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of clofarabine to see how well it works when given together with cytarabine and G-CSF in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
A multicenter randomized trial comparing induction therapy (IC: Idarubicin and Cytarabine, 5 + 7) to ICL (the same drugs plus lomustine (CCNU), 200 mg/m2 orally at day 1). Patients in complete remission (CR) will then receive a post-remission schedule with or without lomustine according to randomization. Patients from 60 to 65 years old will be proposed to reduced conditioning allogeneic transplantation after first consolidation.
The objective is to treat elderly AML and MDS patients with sapacitabine.
This is a Phase II trial conducted at multiple centers for evaluation of the pharmacodynamic activity and the overall response rate contributed by the combination agents of GTI-2040 and High Dose Cytarabine (HiDAC) in Refractory and Relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
A primary goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest safe dose of sorafenib that can be given in combination with idarubicin and Ara-C for the treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and high-risk, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Once the highest safe dose is found, researchers will then try to learn if this combination treatment can help control AML and high-risk MDS in newly diagnosed patients. The safety of this treatment combination will also be studied.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of voreloxin (vosaroxin) injection in combination with cytarabine in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
This is an open label phase I study designed to explore the feasibility, safety and biologic activity of epigenetic priming with decitabine prior to standard cytarabine, daunorubicin induction chemotherapy in younger patients with less-than-favorable risk AML. Primary Objective: To find an appropriate dose level for decitabine when used as priming for cytarabine and daunorubicin "7+3" induction chemotherapy in AML. Secondary Objectives: 1. To establish the safety and expected toxicities of decitabine when used as priming for cytarabine and daunorubicin "7+3" induction chemotherapy in AML. 2. To establish the optimal dose schedule of decitabine required to broadly demethylate cytosine residues in genomic regulatory regions. 3. To investigate, in selected cases, the molecular and cellular consequences of decitabine-induced hypomethylation by a) establishing the extent and degree of hypomethylation at specific genomic loci required to reactivate the expression of repressed genes and by b) determining the effect of hypomethylation on the differentiation and/or apoptosis of leukemic blasts.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether there is a survival benefit with lintuzumab given in combination with low dose cytarabine versus low dose cytarabine and placebo in patients with AML.
The primary objective of this study is to examine transplant related mortality (TRM) at 100 days <30%. A TRM of >50% is considered unacceptable. This study also seeks a TRM at 12 months that is <50%, engraftment >90% (defined as donor cells >80% at 6 months), and 1 year overall survival >50%.
