Filter by:In this trial dose reduced conditioning is compared to standard conditioning followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation from related or unrelated donors in patients with MDS or secondary AML. Conditioning is the very high dose chemotherapy treatment that is given in the days before the stem cell transplant. The hypothesis is that a dose reduced conditioning will reduce the non-relapse mortality from 40% to 20% at one year after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of post-induction lenalidomide in patients with de novo AML with deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality (del (5q)) or monosomy 5 (-5), who obtained complete remission after conventional induction chemotherapy. So, too, for those who no obtained response treatment (total resistance) or partial remission. At the same time, the study evaluate the security of lenalidomide.
Primary outcome measure: Evaluate the efficacy in terms of complete responses of induction therapy and first-line consolidation of Clofarabine and low-dose Cytarabine with AML patients aged 60 years or more. The first efficacy objective is evaluate the overall remission rate (TRG), where general reference (RG) is defined as a patient who achieved complete remission (CR) or complete remission with inadequate platelet recovery (CPR). Secondary outcome measures: - To evaluate disease-free survival (DFS) - Evaluate the overall survival (OS) - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of clofarabine and duration, severity and relationship of adverse events (AEs) occurring during treatment - To assess the rate of mortality at 30 days (ie, the incidence of deaths occurring between Day 1 and Day 30 of induction cycle) - The incidence, intensity (according to the latest version of the CTCAE classification), duration, causality, severity and type of AA
The purposee of this study is to determine the safety and dosing of Fenretinide when given continuously for 5 days, every 3 weeks, in pediatric patients with recurrent and/or resistant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
The purpose of this study is to provide data on the activity of a standard daunorubicin, cytarabine, and etoposide (ADE) induction plus epigenetic priming with decitabine as assessed by standard measures of complete remission (CR), leukemia free survival (LFS) and overall survival (OS), as well as, on minimal residual disease (MRD). It will also provide necessary data on the safety and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of decitabine in pediatric patients that is currently unavailable.
The goal of Part 1 of this clinical research study is to learn about the safety of the combination of plerixafor and clofarabine when given to patients with previously untreated AML who are at least 60 years old. The goal of Part 2 of this study is to learn if the combination of plerixafor and clofarabine can help to control previously untreated AML in patients who are at least 60 years old. Study was closed early and did not progress to Part 2.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of entinostat when given together with sorafenib tosylate in treating patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors or refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia. Entinostat and sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
RATIONALE: Low dose deferasirox may be safe and effective in treating patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant and have iron overload. PURPOSE: This pilot clinical trial studies safety and tolerability of deferasirox in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients who have iron overload. Effect of low dose deferasirox on labile plasma iron is also examined.
This study will test the ability of clofarabine + cytarabine to eliminate minimal residual disease (MRD) in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients whose bone marrows exhibit complete remission by morphology. The toxicity profile of this regimen will be evaluated in addition to toxicity experienced by patients who proceed to stem cell transplant. Overall length of remission will also be collected.
This is a phase I/II open label study being conducted to evaluate the overall safety and initial effectiveness of an investigational drug, Eltrombopag in patients who are 60 years of age and older and who have Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). Eltrombopag is an investigational drug, which means it has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in this type of disease. Approximately 35 people will be enrolled on this study at the University of Pennsylvania
