Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if PEG-Intron is better tolerated and more efficacious than standard interferons (Roferon, Intron) in patients with Philadelphia-positive Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia. These patients should have previously received standard interferon therapy and have been intolerant, resistant, or have relapsed disease.
This phase II trial is to see if combining bevacizumab with idarubicin and cytarabine works better in treating patients who have blast phase chronic myelogenous leukemia. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, 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 deliver cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idarubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy may be an effective treatment for blast phase chronic myelogenous leukemia
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bortezomib in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic or accelerated phase.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying giving imatinib mesylate together with cytarabine to see how well it works in treating patients with chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate and interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of the cancer cells. Combining imatinib mesylate with interferon alfa may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining imatinib mesylate with interferon alfa in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy and filgrastim followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia.
RATIONALE: Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, and cyclophosphamide helps stem cells move from the patient's bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy and radiation therapy. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well cyclophosphamide plus filgrastim followed by stem cell transplant works in treating patients with chronic phase or accelerated phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if homoharringtonine is more effective than hydroxyurea for chronic myelogenous leukemia that has not responded to interferon alfa. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of homoharringtonine with that of hydroxyurea in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia that has not responded to interferon alfa.
RATIONALE: Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells. Colony-stimulating factors such as sargramostim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of therapy. Combining sargramostim with interferon alfa may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of sargramostim in treating patients who are receiving interferon alfa for chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia that is in remission.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. Colony-stimulating factors such as sargramostim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood, and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation followed by sargramostim in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia.
