Filter by:The purpose of this study is to find a dose of Nivolumab that can be safely added to Dasatinib in patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.
Unrelated Cord Blood (UCB) transplant in children is a viable stem cell transplant modality for patients with leukemia and myelodysplasia. UCB is now considered "Standard Of Care" in cases where a suitable living bone marrow donor is not available. The survival of UCB is similar to Matched Unrelated Marrow Transplant. This study is considered "Research" since UCB is not a licensed product and requires investigational new drug (IND). THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC RESEARCH QUESTIONS IN THIS PROTOCOL. This protocol merely provides UCB as a stem cell treatment modality to pediatric patients who may require it after a conditioning regimen that excludes Total Body Irradiation.
The purpose of this study is to obtain high quality specimens for molecular studies for the identification and characterization of genetic mutations involved in the pathogenesis of familial myeloid malignancies. Specimens obtained will be de-identified, linked to basic clinical data, and sent to Washington University (Division of Oncology, St. Louis, MO) for molecular analyses. Some specimens sent to Washington University may also be used for quality control analyses.
The purpose of this study is to learn if 5'-Azacitidine will help to lower the risk of the disease coming back after a stem cell transplant in patients with MDS and AML. This study will also be looking at the side effects of this medicine. 5'-Azacitidine is an FDA approved drug for treatment of MDS and AML, as well as patients whose disease came back after transplant, where it helped going into remission. It is unclear if 5'-Azacitidine can prevent the disease from coming back after transplant. This study will help show if getting 5'-Azacitidine soon after transplant can lower the risk of your disease coming back.
This was a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the preliminary efficacy and safety of venetoclax (ABT-199) administered orally in participants with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a novel standard of care protocol, washing red cell and platelet transfusions for younger patients with acute leukemia, has yielded improved clinical outcomes at Strong Memorial Hospital (Rochester, New York, USA). This standard of care was implemented based upon an earlier randomized trial (BMC Blood Disorders. 2004 Dec 10;4(1):6) The comparator will be historical controls from the medical literature.
To compare disease-free survival in patients 60 years or older with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are randomly assigned to receive either OCV-501 monotherapy or placebo.
This research study is evaluating a drug called cabozantinib as a possible treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This research study is a Phase I clinical trial. Phase I trials test the safety of an investigational drug or combination of drugs. Phase I studies also try to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for further studies. This means that the FDA has not approved giving cabozantinib for use in patients, including patients with your type of cancer. The study drug cabozantinib works by inhibiting several different proteins which are believed to be involved in the growth and multiplication of the cancerous cells associated with acute myeloid leukemia. This drug has been used in other research studies and information from those other research studies suggests that this drug may help to prevent cancer growth. The primary purpose of this research study is to determine the highest dose of Cabozantinib that can safely be given without severe or unmanageable side effects. The dose identified in this study will be used in future research studies that seek to determine the role of cabozantinib as a treatment for AML.
This randomized clinical trial studies standard GVHD prophylaxis with tacrolimus and methotrexate compared to tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and a reduced-dose methotrexate in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. Both mycophenolate mofetil and reduced-dose methotrexate, in combination with a calcineurin inhibitor, have been shown to be safe and effective in GVHD prevention with less toxicity than standard dose methotrexate. It is not yet known, however, whether this combination of mycophenolate mofetil and reduced-dose methotrexate with tacrolimus is more effective than tacrolimus and standard dose methotrexate in preventing GVHD.
Leukemia cells can be killed by natural killer (NK) from HLA-I mismatched donor. The proposed study plans to realize an adoptive anti-leukaemic immunotherapy by infusion of HLA-I mismatched NK cells to treat poor prognosis acute myeloid leukemia patients. NK cells will be selected from HLA mismatch familial donor peripheral mononuclear cells by purification protocol. Before NK-infusion, patients received immunosuppressive chemotherapy.
