Filter by:This is a pilot study of a drug called rituximab used together with other drugs—prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide. Prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide have been used as part of standard chemotherapy for relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Rituximab was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1997. However, the use of rituximab with prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory ALL is considered experimental. This study is for patients who have ALL in second or greater relapse, or in first relapse and not responding to treatment. The goals of this study are: - To see if using rituximab with prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide is beneficial to leukemia treatment - To find out what side effects this combination of drugs can cause A total of 15 participants (30 years old or younger) will be enrolled, over a period of 2 years.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood or bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This trial is studying biomarkers to classify young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and remission induction therapy in young patients with B-precursor ALL.
This prospective observational study will evaluate the safety of MabThera/Rituxan (rituximab) in combination with chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated or relapsed/refractory B cell-lineage chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Data will be collected from each patient for 6-12 months, depending on the prescribed chemotherapy regimen.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, through molecular response and event-free survival, about the use of Imatinib in conjunction with chemotherapy after BFM "like" Induction in children with ALL Ph+.
Children treated for a brain tumor (BT) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) show elevated rates of working memory impairment. Working memory (WM) is the ability to hold and manipulate information online; for example, when an individual mentally rehearses a phone number in order to dial it without writing it down. A computer-based working memory intervention has been successful in children diagnosed with ADHD and stroke survivors. Individuals participating in the intervention showed improvements on working memory measures as well as more complex problem solving skills. Neuroimaging (brain scans) conducted before and after training showed changes in brain activation suggestive of underlying changes in brain systems that support working memory. This study investigates the effectiveness of this computer-based working memory intervention for childhood cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose, daily regimen of orally administered PCI-32765 combined with ofatumumab in subjects with relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL and related diseases
This is a phase I safety and immunogenicity trial comparing high-dose (HD)trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) to standard dose (SD) TIV in pediatric patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
RATIONALE: Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of carfilzomib in treating patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL),small lymphocytic lymphoma(SLL), or prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the bispecific T-cell engager blinatumomab is effective, safe and tolerable in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory B-precursor ALL.
This is a Phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of DCDT2980S administered by intravenous (IV) infusion to patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies. In addition, at selected sites, DCDT2980S will be studied in combination with rituximab.
