Filter by:The study purpose is to test the hypothesis that Chronic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CP-CML) patients with stable Complete Molecular Response (CMR) who discontinue Dasatinib treatment are able to maintain a sustained remission in the long-term, with undetectable or minimally detectable BCR-ABL residual disease.
The purpose of the study is to determine if metformin in combination with cytarabine is safe and effective. Participants in this research study have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back after initial treatment or has not gone away with initial therapy.There is evidence that metformin directly kills leukemia cells. Laboratory data have also shown that combinations of metformin with cytarabine are more efficient than each agent alone in killing leukemia cells in the laboratory.
This phase 2 study evaluates the sequential combination of decitabine then midostaurin for the treatment of newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in older patients.
To evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of nilotinib over time in the Ph+ chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in pediatric patients (from 1 to <18 years).
This is an open-label pilot study evaluating the safety and preliminary evidence of a therapeutic effect of ODSH (2-0, 3-0 desulfated heparin) in conjunction with standard induction and consolidation therapy for acute myeloid leukemia.
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the effectiveness of an investigational drug to learn whether the drug is effective in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that sulindac is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. It also means that the FDA has not yet approved the use of sulindac for your type of cancer. Participants in this study must have undergone previous chemotherapy and achieved complete remission, which is the absence of disease activity in people with a chronic illness, in this case AML. Unfortunately, a significant number of patients with AML who achieve a complete remission with initial chemotherapy eventually experience a relapse, often within a few months. Previous research studies have demonstrated that a type of medication frequently used to treat inflammation, called a COX inhibitor, may suppress and kill leukemia cells. COX inhibitors work by blocking a class of proteins called COX proteins. Other commonly used COX inhibitors are ibuprofen and naproxen. For this study, the investigators are using a COX inhibitor called sulindac, which has been FDA approved and used to treat pain and inflammation for many years, and has also been studied in suppressing certain tumors of the gastrointestinal system. The main goal of this study is to determine whether sulindac can help participants remain in a state of complete remission following the initial course of chemotherapy for AML, and two cycles of chemotherapy that is standard of care for your cancer, called consolidation chemotherapy. During the course of this study, the investigators will also attempt to learn more about how COX inhibition suppresses the emergence of leukemia, at the molecular and cellular level, by studying the participants on this trial.
The combination of mitoxantrone and clofarabine as reinduction therapy will be safe, well tolerated and effective in children, adolescents and young adults with poor risk refractory/relapsed acute leukemia and high grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
This randomized phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give vaccine therapy together with basiliximab in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in complete remission. Vaccines made from the WT1 peptide may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Montanide ISA 51 VG and poly-ICLC may enhance this response. Monoclonal antibodies, such as basiliximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether WT1 126-134 peptide vaccine with Montanide ISA 51 VG is more effective than with poly-ICLC when given together with basiliximab in treating AML
This phase II trial will test whether the Hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitor PF-04449913 can decrease disease relapse in high-risk patients with acute myeloid leukemia after donor stem cell transplant.
This pilot phase II trial studies how well giving donor T cells after donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. In a donor stem cell transplant, the donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant may help increase this effect.
