NCT ID: NCT01254578 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Lenalidomide After Donor Bone Marrow Transplant in Treating Patients With High-Risk Hematologic Cancers

Start date: November 24, 2010
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of lenalidomide after donor bone marrow transplant in treating patients with high-risk hematologic cancer. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing.

NCT ID: NCT01253070 Completed - Clinical trials for Therapy-Related Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Sorafenib Tosylate and Chemotherapy in Treating Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Start date: April 1, 2011
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well sorafenib tosylate and chemotherapy work in treating older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving sorafenib tosylate and combination chemotherapy may be an effective treatment for AML.

NCT ID: NCT01232855 Completed - Leukemia Clinical Trials

Biomarkers in Tissue Samples From Patients With Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia

Start date: November 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

RATIONALE: Studying samples fo tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in tissue samples from patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia.

NCT ID: NCT01191541 Completed - Leukemia Clinical Trials

Cytarabine (Ara-C) in Children With Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL)

Ara-C
Start date: May 2010
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Several groups, especially the PETHEMA group (in their LPA96 and 99 trials), obtained low relapse rates in newly diagnosed Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) patients by combining ll-transretinoic acid (ATRA) and anthracyclines without Ara-C, suggesting that avoiding Ara-C in the chemotherapy of APL reduced treatment toxicity without increasing relapses. While the relapse rate for the children with white blood cell(WBC) counts greater than 10×109/L at presentation were higher than those WBC counts less than 10×109/L (31% and 3.5%,respectively) in the LPA96 and 99 trials. A recent adult randomized trial show that avoiding Ara-C leads to an increased risk of relapse in the APL patients with WBC counts less than 10×109/L. The role of the Ara-C remains controversial. And there are very limited data reported on children with APL so far.

NCT ID: NCT01177371 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Mantle Cell Lymphoma

High-Dose Busulfan and High-Dose Cyclophosphamide Followed By Donor Bone Marrow Transplant in Treating Patients With Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Multiple Myeloma, or Recurrent Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Start date: March 1988
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Giving high doses of chemotherapy drugs, such as busulfan and cyclophosphamide, before a donor bone marrow 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 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 cyclosporine, methylprednisolone, and methotrexate after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies high-dose busulfan and high-dose cyclophosphamide followed by donor bone marrow transplant in treating patients with leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, multiple myeloma, or recurrent Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

NCT ID: NCT01146223 Completed - Clinical trials for Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia With t(15;17)(q22;q12)

Biomarkers in Bone Marrow Samples From Patients With Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia

Start date: September 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This research study is studying biomarkers in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia. Studying samples of bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and about biomarkers related to cancer.

NCT ID: NCT01132586 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Lenalidomide, Cytarabine, and Idarubicin in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Start date: May 2010
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with cytarabine and idarubicin in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and idarubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving lenalidomide together with cytarabine and idarubicin may kill more cancer cells.

NCT ID: NCT01031368 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Clofarabine, Cytarabine, and Filgrastim Followed by Infusion of Non-HLA Matched Ex Vivo Expanded Cord Blood Progenitors in Treating Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Start date: December 2009
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial is studying the safety and potential efficacy of infusing non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched ex vivo expanded cord blood progenitors following treatment with clofarabine and cytarabine for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The combination of clofarabine, cytarabine (Ara-C) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been tested in earlier studies for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. In these previous clinical trials, this combination of drugs has been shown to have an anti-leukemia effect. However, the combination of clofarabine and Ara-C is profoundly myelosuppressive and immunosuppressive causing periods of neutropenia potentially lasting more than three weeks. During this period, patients are at increased risk of infections that can result in an increased risk of death. G-CSF is a growth factor that is used to help the white blood cells recover more quickly, but even with G-CSF, the use of clofarabine and Ara-C is often limited by the need to take long breaks between treatments to allow blood counts to recover. In our lab we have developed a method of growing or "expanding" blood stem cells (cells that give rise to the blood system) from umbilical cord blood. We are doing this study to find out if giving these expanded cells after chemotherapy is safe, helps the blood system recover more quickly from chemotherapy to allow shorter breaks between treatments, and decreases the risk of infection

NCT ID: NCT01005277 Completed - Clinical trials for Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Study of Biomarkers in DNA Samples From Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Start date: April 17, 2002
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This research study is looking at biomarkers in DNA samples from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myeloid leukemia. Studying samples of DNA from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.
