Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to find out what the maximum tolerated dose is for an experimental drug called AZD4877 based on the side effects experienced by patients that receive AZD4877 on a daily times 3 schedule in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). For enrollment information see the Central Contact information below
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of oxaliplatin combined with fludarabine plus cytarabine that can be given to patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS). Once the highest tolerable dose of oxaliplatin in this drug combination is found, the next goal of the study will be to learn the safety and the ability of the drug combination to control the disease.
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from the patient's cancer cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Giving vaccine therapy together with donor lymphocyte infusion after a stem cell transplant from the patient's brother or sister may kill any cancer cells that remain after transplant. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects, best dose, and how well vaccine therapy with or without donor lymphocyte infusion works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or multiple myeloma undergoing donor stem cell transplant.
A phase II multicentre trial of maintenance with Azacitidine in MDS patients achieving complete or partial remission (CR or PR) after intensive chemoterapy. The primary objective is response duration (MDS or AML)
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the "protected environment" (PE) can help to prevent infections in patients aged 60 and above who are receiving what is considered low-intensity treatment for newly-diagnosed AML or high-risk MDS.
This is a Phase I, multi-center, open-label, dose escalation, MTD study of liposomal annamycin in children and young adults with refractory or relapsed ALL or AML. Enrollment will occur in cohorts of approximately 3 subjects with 10 additional subjects enrolled at the MTD. The liposomal annamycin doses will be escalated in sequential cohorts. Six dose levels of liposomal annamycin are planned: 130, 160, 190, 230, 280, and 310 mg/m2/day.The primary objectives of this study are 1) to evaluate the safety and identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of liposomal annamycin when given in 3 consecutive daily doses, starting at 130 mg/m2/day and ranging to as high as 310 mg/m2/day, or the MTD, whichever is lower, in children and young adults with refractory or relapsed acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) or acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and 2) to evaluate the antileukemic activity of liposomal annamycin in children and young adults with refractory or relapsed ALL or AML. The secondary objective is to measure the pharmacokinetics of annamycin and its metabolite, annamycinol.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of parathyroid hormone after a sequential cord blood transplant will improve engraftment, which is the ability of the transplanted stem cells to grow and to successfully begin producing new blood cells.
This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with idiopathic myelofibrosis. Sunitinib may stop the growth of abnormal cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the abnormal cells.
In this study, MGCD0103, a new anticancer drug under investigation, is given three times per week to elderly patients with previously untreated acute myelogenous leukemia/high risk myelodysplastic syndrome or adults with relapsed/refractory disease.
During the pre-transplantation phase (following completion of consolidation chemotherapy), patients will begin to receive G-CSF at 10 mcg/kg twice daily; leukapheresis will also be given until a target goal for recipient body weight is obtained, or up to a maximum of 5 days. Conditioning/Preparative therapy will follow PBSC collection for up to 30 days with Busulfan IV daily x 4 days; subsequent doses will be adjusted based on pharmacokinetic (plasma level)monitoring. Following 1 day of rest, stem cell reinfusion will begin with supportive care. During follow-up, patients will be monitored out to 730 days.
