Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of corticosteroids on the frequency and severity of Mylotarg® infusion-related adverse events, to evaluate the effect of corticosteroids on the efficacy of Mylotarg® induced complete response (CR) and complete response with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp) at one-month post treatment.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide, and total body irradiation, before peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells and natural killer (NK) 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. Giving IL-2 (aldesleukin) after NK cell infusion may stimulate them to kill any remaining cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II (currently enrolling in phase II) trial is studying how well a donor natural killer cell infusion works in treating patients who are undergoing donor stem cell transplant for acute myeloid leukemia.
This study will further evaluate if AMN107 is safe in adults with chronic myeloid leukemia who are resistant or intolerant to imatinib and to provide patients access to this new drug until the drug becomes commercially available.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 7-hydroxystaurosporine when given together with perifosine in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndromes. 7-Hydroxystaurosporine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as perifosine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving 7-hydroxystaurosporine together with perifosine may kill more cancer cells.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of SJG-136 in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as SJG-136, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of parathyroid hormone in combination with G-CSF when used as a stem cell mobilization regimen for patients who fail to mobilize sufficient progenitor stem cells after one or two attempts.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to provide dasatinib treatment to patients with advanced chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) or Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) who no longer can tolerate treatment with imatinib. The safety of the treatment will also be studied.
Prospective, nonrandomized, noncomparative, open-label, multicenter, 2-stage clinical study designed to determine the overall response (combined complete remission, complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery, partial remission, or blast response) rate following tandutinib therapy in 2 groups of patients with newly diagnosed Acute Myelogenous Luekemia.
The study is controlled and randomized in Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) patients with complete cytogenetic response after more than one year of imatinib therapy. The aim is to explore a possible benefit in the addition of peg-interferon (Peg-IFN) to imatinib, in terms of the rate of achievement, molecular remission, and response duration.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and clofarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of clofarabine when given together with cytarabine and to see how well they work in treating patients with refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
