Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well ponatinib hydrochloride works as second line therapy in treating patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase that has not responded to initial treatment (first line) with imatinib mesylate, dasatinib, or nilotinib or cannot tolerate imatinib mesylate, dasatinib, or nilotinib. Ponatinib hydrochloride may stop or control the growth of cancer cells by blocking a protein needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is compare the efficacy of haplo-cord transplant (investigational arm) with that of a more commonly used procedure in which only the cells contained in one or two umbilical cords are infused (standard arm). We hypothesize that reduced intensity conditioning and haplo-cord transplant results in fast engraftment of neutrophils and platelets, low incidences of acute and chronic graft versus host disease, low frequency of delayed opportunistic infections, reduced transfusion requirements, shortened length of hospital stay and promising long term outcomes. We also hypothesize that umbilical cord blood selection can prioritize matching and better matched donors can be identified rapidly for most subjects.
This study will evaluate patients with blood cell cancers who are going to have an allogeneic (donor) blood stem cell transplant from a partially matched relative. The research study will test whether immune cells, called T cells, which come from the donor relative and are specially grown in the laboratory and then given back to the patient along with the stem cell transplant (T cell addback), can help the immune system recover faster after the transplant. As a safety measure, these T cells have been "programmed" with a "self-destruct switch" so that if, after they have been given to the patient, the T cells start to react against the tissues (called "graft versus host" disease, GVHD), the T cells can be destroyed.
This study aimed to assess the optimal duration of nilotinib 300 mg twice daily (BID) consolidation treatment in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), in order that patients remained in treatment-free remission (≥MR4.0) without molecular relapse 12 months after starting the Treatment-Free Remission (TFR) phase.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the complete remission/complete remission with incomplete recovery of blood counts (CR/CRi) rate for relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients.
This is a phase I trial of an investigational drug called GNKG168 in patients with relapsed and refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) who are in morphologic remission but are positive for Minimum Residual Disease (MRD). GNKG168 is a Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonist. TLR agonists are a novel approach to stimulate an effective anti-tumor immune response as they are able to stimulate both innate and adaptive immune responses. There will be two strata i.e patients who have received hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and patients who have never undergone HSCT. GNKG168 will be administered as a 60 min iv infusion. One 14-day cycle consists of 5-day treatment followed by 9 day-rest. Patients will receive 2 cycles before evaluation. The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of GNKG168 in relapsed ALL and AML patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether bortezomib in combination with doxil/lipodox is effective in the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
The purpose of this study was to allow continued use of nilotinib in patients who were on nilotinib treatment in a Novartis-sponsored, Oncology Clinical Development & Medical Affairs (CD&MA) study and were benefiting from the treatment as judged by the investigator
The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of an autologous DC immunotherapy in patients with AML of non-favorable risk profile.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of decitabine followed by mitoxantrone hydrochloride, etoposide, and cytarabine and to see how well they work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has returned after a period of improvement or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitoxantrone hydrochloride, etoposide, cytarabine, and decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells.
