Filter by:In this study, patients were randomly assigned to either receive fludarabine or not (20 mg/m2/d) in addition to induction chemotherapy, consolidation chemotherapy and the 3 subsequent re-induction courses during maintenance.
The purpose of the study is to determine if treatment of older patients indicated with untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who are not considered to be suitable for intensive chemotherapy, can effectively be treated with Clofarabine.
This study will collect tumor samples from people with cancers of the blood, bone marrow, or lymph glands for laboratory study of the biology of these conditions. Such studies contribute to a better understanding of cancer biology and to the development of new treatments. Planned studies include: - Examination of individual cancer cells and to search for differences compared to other types of cancer and normal cells - Examination of the chromosomes and genes in cancer cells and to search for differences compared to other types of cancer and normal cells - Development of sensitive methods to detect small amounts of cancer that remain after treatment - Search for new cancer proteins that might serve as targets for treatment - Investigation of methods to develop cancer vaccines. Patients from >= 1 to 75 years of age with acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myelogenous leukemia, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and other hematologic malignancies may be eligible for this study. Blood or bone marrow samples will be collected when sampling is required for the patient's medical care. Cells from some individuals will be grown in test tubes, establishing cell lines or in animals, establishing xenograft models. (A xenograft is transplantation of cells of one species to another species.)
The hypothesis of this study is that 5-aza and lenalidomide act synergistically in MDS and AML patients with chromosomal abnormalities involving monosomy 5 or del5q. Therefore, this phase I study will investigate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lenalidomide in combination with a fixed dose of 5-aza in this patient population.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of unrelated double and single cord blood transplantation in patients with haematological malignancies using reduced-intensity or myeloablative conditioning regimens.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of conditioning with fludarabine, busulphan and thymoglobuline in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative disorders (MDS/MPD) or acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) undergoing haematopoietic stem cell allograft with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilised peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) (or bone marrow) from HLA compatible sibling donors.
The purpose of this study is to assess the hematological and cytogenetic responses with 5 azacytidine in patients over 55 years of age with MDS/AML due to chromosome 7 abnormalities and to assess the hematological and cytogenetic response rates in patients with relapsed AML and chromosome 7 abnormality.
The primary purpose of the study is to determine, whether the addition of 5-azacytidine to standard chemotherapy in elderly patients with newly diagnosed AML improves treatment results (event free survival).
An open-label, multicenter, phase 1, dose escalation study of MLN4924 in adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), high-grade myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The patient population will consist of adults previously diagnosed with AML including high-grade MDS for which standard curative, life-prolonging treatment does not exist or is no longer effective.
This is a prospective, open, non-randomized, non-controlled, phase II, clinical trial for treatment of newly diagnosed AML patients, younger than 66 years. Trial is based on: - INDUCTION: FLAI + Gemtuzumab-Ozogamicin (FLAI-GO). - CONSOLIDATION: Intermediate dose AraC + IDA (IDAC+IDA) +/- one course of high dose AraC (HDAC) - INTENSIFICATION: Allo-BMT, ASCT - MAINTENANCE: AraC a) Primary endpoints: - Feasibility, Efficacy (CR+PR rate) and Toxicity of FLAI + Gemtuzumab-Ozogamicin. - RFS, DFS and OS. b) Secondary endpoints: - Evaluation of Minimal Residual Disease by WT1 (and other biologic markers) expression and monitoring. - Evaluation of prognostic clinical relevance of biological features at onset. - Feasibility and outcome of consolidation with BMT.
