Filter by:This is a Phase I study that determines a tolerable combination of sorafenib, when given sequentially with cytarabine and clofarabine and determines the feasibility of administering this drug combination in patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), infantile leukemia (both either AML and/or ALL). AML with prior myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms, and biphenotypic leukemia.
This study of SCH 900776 (MK-8776) will evaluate its safety and tolerability when given in combination with cytarabine to participants with acute leukemias. Participants in the Dose-Escalation Part will be enrolled in cohorts that will receive sequentially higher doses of MK-8776 in combination with standard doses of cytarabine. Only one combination treatment cycle of approximately 4 to 6 weeks is anticipated, but participants may receive additional cycles if clinically indicated after discussion between the Investigator and the Sponsor. The recommended combination doses for a Phase 2 trial (RP2D) will be determined based on safety and biological activity. Up to 10 to 15 additional participants will be studied at the combination RP2D.
This study is designed to test the combination of Plerixafor with G-CSF for chemosensitization in patients with relapsed or refractory AML.
Multi-center, open-label, non-randomized trial to evaluate long-term safety and efficacy of nilotinib. Approximately 20 patients will be enrolled in this trial at 3 centers in Mexico, which means all ongoing patients participating on [CAMN107A2109] excluding discontinued patients. During this study, patients will receive nilotinib orally, at a dose of 400 mg b.i.d. Patients will normally receive nilotinib on an outpatient basis. This trial will have a maximum of 24 months of follow-up time.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of eltrombopag in the treatment of low platelet counts in adult subjects with advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), secondary acute myeloid leukemia after MDS (sAML/MDS), or de novo AML that are relapsed, refractory or ineligible to receive azacitidine, decitabine, intensive chemotherapy or autologous/allogeneic stem cell transplantation. This is a placebo-controlled study in which patients will receive study medication daily for 6 months, during which time the dose of study medication may be adjusted based upon individual platelet counts and bone marrow blast counts. All subjects will receive best standard of care (platelet transfusions, mild chemotherapy, cytokines, valproic acid, all-trans retinoic acid, ESAs or G-CSF) in addition to study medication. Subjects taking placebo may be allowed to crossover to eltrombopag treatment if a clinically and statistically significant improvement in bone marrow blast counts is seen in subjects treated with eltrombopag.
NK cells from patients with malignant diseases are often functionally impaired. Their function cannot be fully restored through ex vivo expansion and cytokine activation. In addition, the in vivo administration of cytokines not only expands NK cells but expands polyclonal T cells with no tumor specificity and no known effects. The utilization of Neukoplast™, as a form of adoptive immunotherapy, offers several advantages. Neukoplast™ represents a uniform cell population with a well-characterized immunophenotype, confirmed strong anti-tumor activity and are easy to grow and expand in culture, so that they can be made available in large numbers for therapeutic delivery.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer and the development of drug resistance in patients. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is examining tissue samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia to learn more about drug resistance in these patients.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at tissue and blood samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of bone marrow from patients with cancer and from healthy volunteers in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in bone marrow stromal (connective tissue) cells. It may also help doctors understand the effects of alkylating agents on bone marrow stromal cells. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is evaluating stromal cells in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, or Fanconi anemia; in patients who were exposed to alkylating agents; and in healthy volunteers.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of bone marrow and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at DNA in bone marrow and blood samples from young patients with acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
