Filter by:Phase II trial evaluating the safety & efficacy of Atorvastatin for prophylaxis of Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) in patients with hematological malignances undergoing human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Matched Related Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT).
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.
Objectives This is an observational study aimed at updating the overall survival (OS), the progression free survival (PFS) to accelerated-blastic (AB) phase and the complete cytogenetic response (CCgR) duration of the CML patients who between 1986 and 2001 were treated with an IFN based therapy (either alone or in combination) and who obtained a CCgR. It also aims at analysing the clinical and biological features of this selected cohort of patients with persisting CCgR after treatment with IFN. Study design This study is an observational retrospective multicenter study. Assessment and Follow-up Patients' demographic data and retrospective collection of CML cytogenetic and molecular data will be reported in the "Assessment and Follow-up FORM". In this FORM the events related to therapy, disease and survival will also be reported. Duration of the study: The recruitment period is estimated in approximately 2 years.
The purpose of this open label study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of AZD1208 in patients with recurrent or refractory Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). This study will have two parts. In Part A, patients will receive escalating doses to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In Part B, the efficacy of the maximum tolerated dose will be evaluated in a expanded group of patients.
Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) is a disease of the bone marrow characterized by anemia,neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia (low red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet counts). MDS patients with thrombocytopenia who fail standard therapies require regular platelet transfusions which are expensive and inconvenient, and are a risk for further serious bleeding complications. The new treatment of MDS using azacitidine has shown to increase the survival rate of MDS patients including to improve platelet production over time. However,in the early cycles of treatment with azacitidine,the low platelet counts tend to exacerbate before they provide any clinical benefit. Eltrombopag is a drug designed to activate the thrombopoietin receptor. Eltrombopag has been able to increase platelet counts in healthy Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP), a disease where patients destroy their own platelets very rapidly and thus develop thrombocytopenia. Eltrombopag is administered orally and is Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in patients with chronic ITP who failed to respond to standard treatment. This study is a single arm pilot study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Eltrombopag in the treatment of low platelet counts in adult subjects with MDS treated using azacitidine This study also incorporates a correlative laboratory component designed to determined the mechanism of action of 5-azacitidine +/- Eltrombopag and to determine a baseline profile which may predict those most responsive. These studies will incorporate gene methylation and expression, and immunoprofiling.
RATIONALE: Low-dose cytarabine works in a minority of elderly patients with an acute myeloid leukemia unfit for intensive induction therapy by killing of leukemia cells. Addition of BIBF1120 to low-dose cytarabine might enhance the killing of leukemia cells. PURPOSE: This phase I / II trial is studying how safe BIBF1120 can be combined with low-dose cytarabine (phase I) and how well the combination of low-dose cytarabine and BIBF1120 works in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia unfit for intensive chemotherapy (phase II).
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 was initially a phase I/II, open-label non-randomized study using an investigational new drug, TL32711, in patients with AML, MDS and ALL, however, the phase II portion was never initiated. This study initially targeted subjects 60 years of age and older (with non-M3 AML who have relapsed or refractory disease after standard therapy or who are newly diagnosed and subjects 18-59 (relapsed or refractory after failing 3 prior lines of therapy), and then targeted subjects 18 years of age and older with MDS and ALL.
To compare the antitumor efficacy and toxicity of Idarubicin and cytarabine in combination with or not with infusions of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized HLA-mismatched donor peripheral blood stem cells in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well giving prolonged infusion compared to standard infusion of cefepime hydrochloride works in treating patients with febrile neutropenia. Giving cefepime hydrochloride over a longer period of time may be more effective than giving cefepime hydrochloride over the standard time.
