Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ponatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP), accelerated phase (AP) or blast phase (BP) or with philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who either are resistant or intolerant to either dasatinib or nilotinib, or have the (T)hreonine-315-(I)soleucine (T315I) mutation.
The purpose of this study is to confirm whether the bispecific T cell engager blinatumomab (MT103) is effective, safe and tolerable in the treatment of ALL patients with minimal residual disease.
This study is a single institution phase I study for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia aged 12 years and older using 90Y-AHN-12.
This study is to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of idelalisib alone and in combination with rituximab in patients with CLL or SLL. This Phase 2 study will be the first time that idelalisib is administered to previously untreated patients with hematologic malignancies. Idelalisib has demonstrated clinical activity as a single agent in relapsed or refractory CLL and SLL with acceptable toxicity, which supports its evaluation in previously untreated patients. The study population is limited to patients over 65 years of age because younger patients are generally appropriate for standard immunochemotherapy regimens that are highly active. Since the mechanism of action of idelalisib is distinct from rituximab, it is hypothesized that the combination will be more active than either agent alone. This study will establish initial safety and clinical activity of idelalisib in combination with rituximab in patients with CLL or SLL. Cohort 2 of this study will establish safety and clinical activity of idelalisib alone in subjects with untreated CLL or SLL.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of posaconazole and micafungin in preventing fungal infections after chemotherapy for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. When people take chemotherapy, they are more likely to get infections. Posaconazole has been approved for the prevention of fungal infections in patients who receive induction chemotherapy for acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Posaconazole is available only as an oral suspension and has to be given with food. After chemotherapy, many patients are not able to tolerate food or oral medication because of severe mucositis. Patients unable to tolerate food and oral medications cannot take posaconazole. Micafungin is an antifungal medication that is given only intravenously. Micafungin is approved for the treatment of certain fungal infections and for preventing fungal infections in patients who receive bone marrow transplant. The investigators know that micafungin is safe. Micafungin has not been tested for the prevention of fungal infections in patients receiving chemotherapy for acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Because micafungin is given by vein, it can be given even in patients who cannot take food or medications by mouth after chemotherapy. In this study the investigators want to compare micafungin to posaconazole when given for the prevention of fungal infections in leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome patients.
This protocol provides expanded access to bone marrow transplants for children who lack a histocompatible (tissue matched) stem cell or bone marrow donor when an alternative donor (unrelated donor or half-matched related donor) is available to donate. In this procedure, some of the blood forming cells (the stem cells) are collected from the blood of a partially human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched (haploidentical) donor and are transplanted into the patient (the recipient) after administration of a "conditioning regimen". A conditioning regimen consists of chemotherapy and sometimes radiation to the entire body (total body irradiation, or TBI), which is meant to destroy the cancer cells and suppress the recipient's immune system to allow the transplanted cells to take (grow). A major problem after a transplant from an alternative donor is increased risk of Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD), which occurs when donor T cells (white blood cells that are involved with the body's immune response) attack other tissues or organs like the skin, liver and intestines of the transplant recipient. In this study, stem cells that are obtained from a partially-matched donor will be highly purified using the investigational CliniMACS® stem cell selection device in an effort to achieve specific T cell target values. The primary aim of the study is to help improve overall survival with haploidentical stem cell transplant in a high risk patient population by limiting the complication of GVHD.
The Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Research Consortium (CRC) is conducting a two-arm, multi-center phase II trial of Revlimid® and rituximab for Relapsed or Refractory CLL for patients under the age of 65 and patients 65 years and older. Lenalidomide (Revlimid) is an immunomodulatory agent with promising clinical activity in CLL and is FDA approved for treatment of relapsed multiple myeloma and 5q-myelodysplastic syndrome. Rituximab (Rituxan) is a monoclonal antibody to CD20 that is approved for the treatment of CLL. The primary objective of this study is to determine the overall response rate of the combination of Revlimid® and rituximab in previously treated CLL patients. All patients will receive treatment with Revlimid® starting at a low dose that will be dose escalated based on individual patient tolerability. The combination of Revlimid and Rituximab will be administered for a maximum of 7 cycles. Patients with residual leukemia following seven cycles of treatment with the combination may elect to continue on protocol for an additional 6 cycles of single agent Revlimid® consolidation.
RATIONALE: Infection prophylaxis and management may help prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection caused by a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE:This clinical trial studies infection prophylaxis and management in treating cytomegalovirus infection in patients with hematologic malignancies previously treated with donor stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this study is primarily to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of clofarabine intravenously administered to pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or for whom no other therapy with greater potential clinical benefit exists. The dosing regimen for the intravenous (IV) clofarabine is 30 or 52 mg/m2/day for 5 consecutive days. The secondary objectives are to document the activity of clofarabine and to explore the impact of deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) promoter polymorphism on PK and treatment outcome.
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and biological effect of adoptive transfer of CD19ΞΆ chimaeric receptor transduced donor-derived EBV-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (EBV-CTL) in patients with high-risk or relapsed B cell precursor ALL after allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT).
