This is an open-label, multicenter, phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the antitumor activity of brentuximab vedotin as a single agent in patients with CD30-positive nonlymphomatous malignancies.
Imatinib 400mg daily is the current NICE-approved standard treatment for newly diagnosed Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML). 5 yr follow up of CML patients treated in this way indicates an 89% probability of progression-free survival. Imatinib is not tolerated or effective in some patients however, and a proportion of patients become resistant to the drug. SPIRIT 2 study aims to establish whether a new drug, dasatinib, is superior to imatinib in terms of event free survival and therefore will be an effective first-line therapy for newly-diagnosed CML patients. This study will also provide crucial long-term survival, quality of life and health economic data to assist health care providers and managers to determine the most cost-effective drug therapy for CML.
This is a 2 part study. The goal of the first part of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of azacitidine that can be given with a TKI that you are already taking (such as Gleevec, Sprycel, or Tasigna). The safety of this drug will also be studied. The goal of the second part is to see if this combination may improve your response to the TKI you are already taking. Azacitidine is designed to change genes that are thought to cause leukemia. By changing these genes, the drug may help to stop them from causing the disease to grow.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of administering the combination of nilotinib and LDE225 to patients with chronic or accelerated phase of chronic myeloid leukemia and to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose level (RP2D) of LDE225 in combination with nilotinib.
This is a single institution study of combining decitabine with fludarabine and busulfan in the setting of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. A study population of 20 subjects will be enrolled from The John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center. Subjects who are eligible to receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation according to the eligibility criteria will be consented and enrolled. Subjects will receive treatment with decitabine followed by reduced intensity fludarabine and busulfan prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Subjects will be followed until 1 year post transplantation to assess stability of engraftment, toxicity, progression free survival, and disease response
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a risk-adapted, minimal-residual-disease directed therapy for young adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia has positive results in terms of overall survival at 24 months.
Reduced quality of life, fatigue, and loss of physical function are common in patients getting chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). The investigators completed a pilot study showing that exercise during active chemotherapy for AML is feasible, safe, and may improve symptoms and physical function. The investigators now propose to compare our hospital-based supervised exercise program to usual care to see if exercise can improve symptoms, physical function, and improve treatment tolerability.
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sorafenib in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors or leukemia. Sorafenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability of OCV-501 in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who achieved complete remission after induction regimen and who completed a standard consolidation therapy.
