Filter by:The Imatinib Mesylate at a dose of 400 mg / day is the standard treatment for patients with CML-CP. Recent studies show that the quality of response rate (complete cytogenetic response and major molecular response rate) is dependent on the residual plasma Imatinib.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of donor natural killer cells when given together with donor stem cell transplant and to see how well they work in treating patients with myeloid malignancies that are likely to come back or spread. Giving chemotherapy, such as busulfan and fludarabine phosphate, before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells and natural killer cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
This pilot clinical trial studies sirolimus, idarubicin, and cytarabine in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Sirolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idarubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving sirolimus together with idarubicin and cytarabine may kill more cancer cells.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of tretinoin when given together with lithium carbonate in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Lithium carbonate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Tretinoin may help [type of cancer] cells become more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly. Giving lithium carbonate together with tretinoin may kill more cancer cells
Infectious morbidity and mortality is a major complication of AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) induction and consolidation chemotherapies related aplasia. The main aim of this study is to measure incidence of respiratory viral infections during AML induction and consolidation chemotherapy related aplasia. Primary end point is a positive polymerase chain reaction(PCR)associated with clinical signs.
Patients with acute or chronic myeloid leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome, underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation from HLA-identical donor (related or unrelated) after reduced-intensity conditioning regimen. If WT1 expression is detectable on tumor cells, they will receive an immune therapy 60 days after allograft. 6 administrations every 2 weeks of the protein recwt1-A10+AS01B will be administrated. The safety and immunological efficacy of this immune therapy after hematopoietic stem cells transplantation with reduced intensity conditioning will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to determine if low-dose imatinib and nilotinib combination, will improve treatment results in CML patients with failure, suboptimal response or intolerance to imatinib therapy. The hypothesis is that with low-dose imatinib and nilotinib combination, major molecular response will be achieved in patients not previously obtained with imatinib monotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and to assess the safety and tolerability of MLN4924 (pevonedistat) in combination with azacitidine in treatment naive participants with AML who were 60 years of age or older.
The protocol aims at adding GRASPA (L-asparaginase encapsulated in red blood cells, eryaspase) to standard chemotherapy (low-dose cytarabine) to treat patients older than 65 years diagnosed with AML and unfit for intensive chemotherapy.
Allo - hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is currently the only way to cure myelodysplastic syndrome /acute leukemia . The existing experimental results showed that decitabine and 5-azacytidine up-regulated the expression of tumor Ags on leukemic blasts in vitro and expanded the numbers of immunomodulatory T regulatory cells in animal models. Reasoning that decitabine might selectively augment a graft versus leukemia effect, the investigators used decitabine administration after allogeneic stem cell transplantation to studied the immunologic sequelae.
