Filter by:RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood, tissue, or bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research trial is studying dexamethasone and prednisone sensitivity in samples from younger patients with high-risk B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Trial protocol intended the optimization of induction treatment with: 1. Inclusion of PEG-ASP in induction and in the three blocks of consolidation. 2. Reduction of the dose of daunorubicin, and recent studies have shown that the use of high doses of anthracyclines has not brought higher response rates or longer duration 3. Replacing the poor cytological response at day 14 by the level of ER at the end of induction as a criterion to decide the further treatment (consolidation or second induction), so as to have only one criterion (the ER) throughout the study to decision making. For another hand, reducing non-essential drugs consolidation blocks to try to reduce toxicity during it, and replace the ASP E. coli in induction and consolidation of PEG-ASP to ensure a more sustained asparagine depletion. Also, increasing the dose of methotrexate (3 to 5 g/m2) in patients with ALL-T, since there is recent evidence of a higher response rate with this strategy. Performing an allo-HSCT early (after one cycle of consolidation) for patients with inadequate level of ER after two cycles of induction or in those patients who required two courses of induction and have obtained proper ER after the second. Conducting studies of RD centrally by cytofluorometry following Euroflow consensus standards, to avoid bias in making treatment decisions
This clinical trial is studying biomarkers as a diagnostic tool in samples from younger patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Finding specific biomarkers may help improve the treatment of patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the effect of idelalisib in combination with rituximab on the onset, magnitude, and duration of tumor control in participants previously treated for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Eligible patients will be randomized with a 1:1 ratio into 1 of the 2 treatment arms to receive either idelalisib plus rituximab or placebo plus rituximab. Participants who are tolerating primary study therapy but experience definitive CLL progression are eligible to receive active idelalisib therapy in the extension study, GS-US-312-0117.
The primary objective of this extension study (GS-US-312-0117) that is a companion study to Study GS-US-312-0116 (NCT01539512), is to evaluate the effect of idelalisib on the onset, magnitude, and duration of tumor control. Randomization was done in study GS-US-312-0116, and carried forward to study GS-US-312-117.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of IMGN529 in patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
RATIONALE: Testing for minimal residual disease in cell samples from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia may help doctors plan better treatment. PURPOSE: This research trial studies a genetic test in identifying previously undetectable minimal residual disease in cell samples from younger patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
This is a phase 2, open-label, single institution trial of combination of intravenous (IV) ofatumumab and oral GSK2110183 in patients with relapsed or refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). Patients must have received at least one prior line of therapy containing fludarabine (single-agent or combination therapy). During the initial 6 months Treatment Phase, ofatumumab will be administered weekly for 8 doses, then once every 4 week cycle for an additional 4 doses (dose and schedule identical to the pivotal phase 2 trial) and GSK2110183 will be given daily PO (Treatment Phase). There will be an initial 10 day lead-in with GSK2110183 alone prior to initiation of ofatumumab to allow for evaluation of changes in cell surface expression due to GSK2110183 and for GSK2110183 pharmacokinetic studies (Lead-in Phase). The official Cycle 1 Day 1 will start on the date of first dose of ofatumumab. Cycle duration = 4 weeks. Patients will be assessed for safety, disease assessment, response, and survival on day 1 of each cycle during the Treatment Phase. A formal review of safety data by the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) after the first 6 patients have completed cycle 1 of the Treatment Phase will be performed before continuing accrual. All patients achieving SD, PR or CR by the end of the Treatment Phase will proceed to the Maintenance Phase. Patients with PD at any time, including by the end of Treatment Phase, will be taken off study. During the Maintenance Phase, single-agent GSK2110183 will be administered daily for a maximum of 12 months (12 cycles). Maximum duration on any study drug is 18 months (18 cycles). During the Follow-up Phase, patients will be assessed for safety, disease assessment, response, and survival every 3 months through month 36 (year 3), or until subsequent CLL therapy or death, whichever comes first. Key indications for study withdrawal are progressive disease, intolerable toxicity, or completion of therapy
This phase II clinical trial studies how well two donors stem cell transplant work in treating patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. After receiving radiation to help further treat the disease, patients receive a dose of donors' T cells. T cells can fight infection and react against cancer cells. Two days after donors' T cells are given, patients receive cyclophosphamide (CY) to help destroy the most active T cells that may cause tissue damage (called graft versus host disease or GVHD). Some of the less reactive T cells are not destroyed by CY and they remain in the patient to help fight infection. A few days after the CY is given, patients receive donors' stem cells to help their blood counts recover. Using two donors' stem cell transplant instead of one donor may be more effective in treating patients with high-risk disease and may prevent the disease from coming back.
This phase II trial studies how well giving fludarabine phosphate, melphalan, and low-dose total-body irradiation (TBI) followed by donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Giving chemotherapy drugs such as fludarabine phosphate and melphalan, and low-dose TBI before a donor PBSCT helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from the donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cell from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and methotrexate after transplant may stop this from happening
