Filter by:The purpose of this study is to measure, in pilot/observational study, panels of circulating proteins in real time at the onset of neutropenic fever/infection in patients with acute or chronic leukemias undergoing chemotherapy or other biologic treatment. And to generate preliminary trend results in panels of circulating proteins longitudinally during the period of neutropenia and to correlate those values to clinical/laboratory data and patient outcomes.
The primary objective of this study is to see if enzastaurin affects the pGSK3 beta level in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells.
Pre-transplant conditioning will include Fludarabine and dose-escalated Busulfan on days -6, -5, -4, and -3. Daily treatment doses will be adjusted to achieve target AUCs (area under the plasma concentration time curve). Day 0 is the day of hematopoietic progenitor cell reinfusion. Supportive care will be based on institutional guidelines. Blood samples will be collected for dose modification based on the AUC levels. Dose escalation will proceed to determine the maximally tolerated level or AUC to evaluate the potential therapeutic benefit of higher doses of busulfan.
This study is a multicenter trial of treatment for young ALL patients. All ALL patients will receive the same steroid pre-phase in order to evaluate sensitivity or resistance. Then, patients will be included into 3 specific trials according to biological features (immunophenotype, cytogenetics, and molecular biology). Group for Research on Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (GRAALL) 2005: - T ALL or B ALL non Ph (N=810 patients planned). - GRAALL 2005 R: B ALL non Ph CD20+ (N=220 patients planned). - GRAAPH 2005: ALL Ph+ (N=270 patients planned)
A phase I trial in patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia of a human monoclonal antibody that kills B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Trial will study safety, pharmacokinetics, and anti tumor activity of the antibody given as a single agent and with vincristine.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of treatment with epoetin alfa versus placebo on the percentage of red blood cells in anemic patients with chronic lymphocytic (white blood cell) leukemia and its effect on the patients' quality-of-life. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
The purpose of this study is to determine if intravenous BCX-1777 can be given safely to improve relapsed or refractory aggressive T-cell leukemias and lymphomas.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of an oral Farnesyl Protein Transferase Inhibitor (SCH 66336) as a single agent in patients with Advanced Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Blast Crisis, or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of stem cell transplantation in which the donors T lymphocytes have undergone "selective depletion." Certain patients with cancers of the blood undergo transplantation of donated stem cells to generate new and normally functioning bone marrow. In addition to producing the new bone marrow, the donor's T-lymphocytes also fight any tumor cells that might have remained in the body. This attack on tumor cells is called a "graft-versus-leukemia" (GVL) effect. However, another type of T-lymphocyte from the donor may cause what is called "graft-versus-host-disease" (GVHD), in which the donor cells recognize the patient's cells as foreign and mount an immune response to reject them. Selective depletion is a technique that was developed to remove the T-lymphocytes that cause harmful GVHD, while keeping those that produce the desirable GVL effect.
