Filter by:To determine the maximum tolerated dose of KW-2449 in people with acute myelogenous leukemia who are not candidates for approved therapy. As well, the study will determine the response rate to KW-2449.
A study comparing conventional chemotherapy to low dose total body irradiation-based conditioning and hematopoietic cell transplantation from related and unrelated donors as consolidation therapy for older Patients with AML in first Complete Remission.
RATIONALE: Panobinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of panobinostat and to see how well it works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myeloid leukemia.
The hypothesis of this study is that lenalidomide can be an effective drug in preventing relapse of MDS and AML patients with chromosomal abnormalities involving monosomy 5 or del5q after allogeneic HSCT. Due to its immunomodulatory action it might also be able to enhance a T - or NK cell mediated graft versus leukemia (GVL) effects. Nevertheless, one has to keep in mind a possible, yet unknown influence on modulation of clinical GVHD.
This study is for patients with relapsed of disease after allogeneic bone marrow The donor's T cells are activated by exposure to 2 compounds or antibodies that bind (or stick to) two compounds on T cells called CD3 and CD28. When these antibodies stick to both CD3 and CD28 on the T cells, the T cells becomes stimulated (or "activated") and grows. CD3 and CD28 are the coating of a T cell and a T cell is part of the body's immune system. It is believed that when T cells are exposed to both of antibodies to CD3 and CD28 compounds at the same time, they become activated or "stimulated" and may be more effective in fighting infections or cancer cells. We call this therapy "activated donor lymphocyte infusions, or activated DLI (aDLI)". This current study is being performed to see whether it is safe and effective to administer higher doses of activated DLI or repeated doses of activated DLI. All patients will receive standard donor lymphocyte infusions first, and in addition will receive activated donor lymphocytes approximately 12 days later (DLI followed by aDLI). Depending on the response to this treatment, and depending on possible side effects (such as graft-vs-host disease as described below), patients in remission will then receive additional aDLI every 3 months for 4 more times, and patients not in remission within 6-12 weeks will receive higher dose aDLI. The timing of the higher dose aDLI will be determined by your physician depending on your disease and the rate of progression of your disease. The aDLI can be given as early as 6 weeks, or as late as 12 weeks (3 months).
RATIONALE: Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by interfering with various proteins needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO), can block cancer growth in different ways. GO finds cancer cells and helps kill them by carrying a cancer-killing substance to them. Giving vorinostat together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving vorinostat together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin works in treating older patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of administering Wilms tumor gene 1 (WT1) cancer peptides. Cancer peptides are short pieces of protein that are made in a laboratory to be like the peptides that can be found in cancer. These peptides are intended to be given as a "vaccine" to activate the immune cells in a person to attack his/her cancer. These peptides are mixed with an oily substance called Montanide ISA-51 and a white cell growth factor called Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) which may help make the immune response stronger.
The addition of gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) in combination with Busulfan/Cyclophosphamide followed by AlloSCT in patients with high risk CD33+ AML/JMML/MDS will be safe and well tolerated. This study will attempt to determine the maximum tolerated dose of the immune therapy (gemtuzumab) when given in combination with the myeloablative (high dose) drugs used in this study for allogeneic stem cell transplant. (Part A)
The purpose of the study is to determine how effective azacitidine, MGCD0103, and the combination of azacitidine and MGCD0103 are in treating AML or MDS in people over 60 years of age.
This study is designed to determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose,dose limiting toxicity of Terameprocol(EM-1421)and determine the pharmacokinetics (clearance from the blood)of Terameprocol(EM-1421)given as intravenous infusion three times a week in patients with leukemia.
