Filter by:This study is being conducted in a population of patients with chronic phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) to learn more about how patients follow prescribed regimens for taking oral cancer drugs.
Study Design: To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of sirolimus and tacrolimus as a graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, the investigators are going to perform a phase II, multicenter clinical trial after human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched, related peripheral blood stem cell transplants (PBSCT) in patients with hematologic malignancies. Total 116 patients will be accrued. Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the rates of 100 day Grade II-IV acute GVHD. Secondary objectives include the time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment, the incidence of grade III-IV acute GVHD, non-relapse mortality during 100 days after transplant, mucositis severity, all infectious complications including cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation, vascular complications (venoocclusive disease of liver; VOD, thrombotic microangiopathy; TMA), disease-free survival, and overall survival at 1 year after transplant. Eligibility Criteria: Eligible patients are between 20 and 60 years of age, have acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and adequate organ function. For available sibling donor, a serologic (or higher resolution) 6/6 Class I HLA-A and B and molecular Class II DRB1 must be matched. Treatment Description: Conditioning regimens will vary by center and donor will donate peripheral blood stem cells according to local institutional practices. Peripheral blood stem cells will not be manipulated or T-depleted prior to infusion. Tacrolimus will be administered at 0.05 mg/kg/day intravenously by continuous infusion beginning on day -1 with a target serum concentration of 5 to 10 ng/mL. Sirolimus will be administered as a 6 mg oral loading dose on day -1, followed by a 3 mg/day single dose, with a target serum concentration of 3 to 12 ng/mL. Levels will be monitored weekly during hospitalization and then as clinically indicated. Intravenous tacrolimus will be converted to an oral equivalent dose prior to discharge and both immunosuppressives will be tapered beginning at day +100 after transplantation and eliminated by day +180 when clinically feasible. Accrual Period: The estimated accrual period is three years. Patients will be followed for 100 days post transplantation for evaluation of the primary endpoint, with additional follow-up to two years after transplantation for evaluation of secondary endpoints.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best way to give dasatinib and cyclosporine in treating patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) refractory or intolerant to imatinib mesylate. Dasatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cyclosporine may help dasatinib work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving dasatinib together with cyclosporine may be an effective treatment for CML.
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.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation (TBI) before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they will help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim (G-CSF) and plerixafor, to the donor helps the stem cells move (mobilization) from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying giving plerixafor and filgrastim together for mobilization of donor peripheral blood stem cells before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies
To investigate whether patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) previously treated with interferon-alpha (IFN) and presently on a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (imatinib mesylate, dasatinib, or nilotinib) with achievement of a complete cytogenetic and at least a major molecular remission, are able to discontinue therapy and maintain a durable remission. Relapse-free survival (RFS) rate at 1 year after discontinuation of TKI will be the measurement of this objective.
This exploratory study will evaluate the change in molecular response in chronic myelogenous leukemia - chronic phase patients with a complete cytogenetic response and have a suboptimal molecular response to imatinib
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a peptide may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well vaccine therapy works in treating patients with chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
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.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to compare the rate of complete cytogenetic response of dasatinib to imatinib therapy at 6 months after randomization in chronic phase CML patients. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
