Filter by:Many patients suffering various malignant and non-malignant diseases need hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a healthy person. In the majority of cases there is no matched related or unrelated donor. Some researchers have been performed transplantation from semi-matched (haploidentical) related donors with relatively good results. Chinese researchers have been performed this kind of transplantation using CAMPATH-1H and their reports indicates good results. Chinese populations have more homogenous genetic background than Iranians. In this project, we are going to study the feasibility of this method of haploidentical transplantation in Iranian patients.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a peptide-gene vaccine against CML in patients under Imatinib treatment. We will also perform some laboratory tests suggesting biological response.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Tipifarnib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving combination chemotherapy together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin or tipifarnib may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying different combination chemotherapy regimens to compare how well they work when given with or without gemtuzumab ozogamicin or tipifarnib in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes.
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a peptide may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Colony-stimulating factors, such as GM-CSF, increase the number of white blood cells and platelets found in bone marrow or peripheral blood. Giving vaccine therapy together with GM-CSF may be an effective treatment for acute myeloid leukemia. It is not yet known whether giving vaccine therapy together with GM-CSF is more effective than giving placebo together with GM-CSF in treating acute myeloid leukemia. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying vaccine therapy and GM-CSF to see how well they work compared with a placebo and GM-CSF in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia in remission.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of Gleevec (imatinib mesylate) and low doses of Cytarabine (ara-C) may help to control leukemia while causing fewer side effects than standard high dose chemotherapy.
The purpose of this trial is to see which dose of liposomal amphotericin B is the safest when used as a preventer against invasive fungal infection in patients with acute leukaemia who are undergoing chemotherapy.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of LBH589B in adult patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia with resistant disease following treatment with at least two BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors
This randomized phase III trial is studying donor bone marrow transplant with or without G-CSF to compare how well they work in treating young patients with hematologic cancer or other diseases. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of cancer or abnormal cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem 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. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving methotrexate and tacrolimus or cyclosporine before and after transplant may stop this from happening. It is not yet known whether donor bone marrow transplant is more effective with or without G-CSF in treating hematologic cancer or other diseases.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of LBH589B in adult patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who are in accelerated phase or blast phase (blast crisis) with resistant disease following treatment with at least two BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors
The present therapy intends to be an homogeneous treatment for AML patients based on a pretreatment with hydroxiurea plus an induction therapy with the standard arm with Daunorubicine as according to EORTC-GIMEMA AML10 study. The post-remissional treatment is based on transplant with HLA compatible donor is foreseen for all patients and autologous transplant for those without HLA compatible donor available.
