Filter by:This Phase 3 study assesses two drug regimens as the initial treatment of patients who are at least 70 years of age and have newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for whom the doctor does not recommend the use of standard intensive treatment or the patient has decided not to receive standard intensive treatment after being fully informed about its benefits and risks by his/her doctor. The two drug regimens are sapacitabine administered in alternating cycles with decitabine or decitabine alone. The purpose of the study is to learn which drug regimen is more likely to keep AML in check as long as possible.
Phase II Multicentric Trial Open Label, Multicenter, randomized to evaluate the efficacy of a Maintenance Therapy in First Complete Remission After Induction for Elderly (≥ 60) Fit Patients With Poor Prognosis Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The disease-free survival (DFS) of the patients included in this study will be compared to the ones of the two previously reported groups of patients treated with the same LIA induction therapy
This phase I trial studies the side effects and maximum tolerated dose of yttrium Y 90 anti-cluster of differentiation 45 (CD45) monoclonal antibody BC8 (90Y-BC8) followed by donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that is likely to come back or spread. Giving chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine phosphate (FLU), and total-body irradiation (TBI) before a donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) or bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of cancer or abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as 90Y-BC8, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal 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 FLU, 90Y-BC8, and TBI before the transplant together with cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at biomarkers in bone marrow samples from young patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
Ex vivo expanded human myeloid progenitor cells (hMPCs; CLT-008) have the potential to accelerate neutrophil recovery and decrease the risk of febrile neutropenia and infection in patients receiving chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), or high-risk myelodysplasia (MDS). In this study, the safety, tolerability and activity of CLT-008 administered after "standard of care" cytarabine-based consolidation or induction/re-induction chemotherapy will be determined by monitoring for adverse reactions, infusion reactions, graft-versus host disease (GVHD), neutrophil and platelet recovery, hMPC persistence, infections and complications.
The study objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of US-ATG-F as a supplement to standard of care prophylaxis versus standard of care prophylaxis alone in moderate to severe chronic GVHD-free survival.
In relapsed or refractory AML allogeneic HCT is considered to be the only treatment by which long-term disease-free survival can be achieved. Despite this favorable prospect, even in younger patients with relapsed AML only about 40% of the patients reach allogeneic HCT. A number of factors contribute to this low rate of transplantation, among them moderate activity of the salvage regimens and accumulating toxicities which prevent from transplantation; Prospective clinical trials in this indication usually focus either on the rate of CR achieved after a defined number of cycles of salvage therapy or on transplantation modalities. The consequent integration of salvage therapy into a transplant strategy accounting for the time-dependent process of donor search has not been studied so far. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of clofarabine salvage therapy prior to allogeneic HCT.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the safety and the efficacy of a combination of 2 treatments shown to have some efficacy in Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CP CML) separately, but that have never been combined to date, and this combination is expected to substantially increase the molecular response rates.
The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence of subcutaneous Vidaza® and subcutaneous Luitpold Azacitidine pharmacokinetics and to assess the comparative safety of subcutaneous Vidaza® versus subcutaneous Luitpold Azacitidine.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at bone marrow samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
