Filter by:In this single-center, open-label, no control,prospective clinical trial, a total of 30 Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL) patients will be enrolled. Dasatinib 100 mg per day will be given orally along with combination chemotherapy starting day 8 of induction chemotherapy. Dasatinib will be given continuously (if it's tolerable) for 2 years since achievement of complete remission (CR) as part of consolidation chemotherapy and maintenance therapy.Patients can receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or autologous HSCT whenever possible during their first CR. Otherwise, they will finish the consolidation chemotherapy. The purpose of current study is to determine the clinical efficacy and tolerability of combination therapy of Dasatinib with multi-agent chemotherapy in newly-diagnosed Ph+ ALL.
This phase III trial studies response-based chemotherapy in treating newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in younger patients with Down syndrome. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Response-based chemotherapy separates patients into different risk groups and treats them according to how they respond to the first course of treatment (Induction I). Response-based treatment may be effective in treating acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in younger patients with Down syndrome while reducing the side effects.
Primary Objective: Measure the proportion of patients who develop binding and neutralizing antibodies in the blood after treatment with sargramostim following induction/reinduction chemotherapy. Secondary Objectives: - Assess the time after treatment at which the antibodies develop and the level of antibodies is measured after the first dose. - Measure the levels of immunoglobulin protein. - Assess the impact of any immune response on safety and the duration of low white blood cell count.
The purpose of this two-stage Phase 2 study is to assess the clinical response (Complete Remission) of ACM (Alvocidib/Cytarabine/Mitoxantrone) compared to CM (Cytarabine/Mitoxantrone) treatment in refractory or relapsed AML patients with demonstrated MCL-1 dependence of ≥ 30% by mitochondrial profiling in bone marrow.
This is a phase-II study to evaluate the efficacy of a salvage regimen in children with relapsed T-cell ALL or lymphoma. Peg-asparaginase, mitoxantrone, intrathecal triples (IT) (intrathecal methotrexate/hydrocortisone/cytarabine) (ITMHA) and dexamethasone are commonly used drugs to treat relapsed or refractory acute lymphocytic leukemia or lymphoma (ALL). In this study, the investigators want to know if adding three drugs called panobinostat, bortezomib and liposomal vincristine (VSLI) to this regimen will result in remission (no signs or symptoms of leukemia or lymphoma). - Panobinostat has been approved by the FDA for treating adults with multiple myeloma, but it has not been approved for use in children and has not been given together with the other drugs used in this study. It has not been widely studied in children. - VSLI has been approved by the FDA for adults with relapsed or refractory ALL, but has not yet been approved for treating children with leukemia or lymphoma. - Bortezomib has been approved by the FDA for treating adults with a cancer called multiple myeloma and adults with relapsed mantle cell lymphoma; it has not been approved for treating children. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: - To estimate the complete remission (CR) rate for patients with T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma in first relapse. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: - To evaluate minimal residual disease (MRD) levels at end of each block of therapy. - To describe the toxicities of vincristine sulfate liposome injection (VSLI) when used in combination with chemotherapy and bortezomib.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well ibrutinib works when given together with vaccine therapies in treating patients without clinical signs or indications that raise the possibility of a particular disorder or dysfunction (asymptomatic) who have high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Vaccines, such as pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine, trivalent influenza vaccine, and diphtheria toxoid/tetanus toxoid/acellular pertussis vaccine adsorbed, may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Giving ibrutinib together with vaccine therapies may be a better treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.
This is a pilot phase 2 study investigating the safety and efficacy of ibrutinib combined with short-course fludarabine in previously untreated CLL patients. Ibrutinib will be given daily until disease progression or intolerable side effects occur. Fludarabine will be given in cycles 3 and 4. The primary efficacy endpoint is the rate of complete response after 6 cycles or 24 weeks. The primary safety endpoint is the rate of treatment discontinuation after 6 cycles or 24 weeks.
This study evaluates the use of carfilzomib in combination with cyclophosphamide and etoposide for children with relapsed/refractory solid tumors or leukemia. The medications cyclophosphamide and etoposide are standard drugs often used together for the treatment of cancer in children with solid tumors or leukemia. Carfilzomib is FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved in the United States for adults with multiple myeloma (a type of cancer). However, this drug is not approved to treat children with relapsed/refractory solid tumors or leukemia. With this research, we plan to determine the DLTs and MTD of Carfilzomib given in combination with cyclophosphamide and etoposide in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory leukemias and solid tumors.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving romidepsin before and after a stem cell transplant in combination with fludarabine and busulfan can help to control leukemia or lymphoma. Researchers also want to learn the highest tolerable dose of romidepsin that can be given with this combination. The safety of this combination and the safety of giving romidepsin after a stem cell transplant will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Romidepsin is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of CTCL in patients who have received at least 1 systemic (affecting the whole body) therapy before. Busulfan and fludarabine are FDA approved and commercially available for use with a stem cell transplant. The use of the combination of romidepsin, busulfan, and fludarabine to treat the type of leukemia or lymphoma you have is considered investigational. Up to 30 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of 8-chloroadenosine and to see how well it works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 8-chloroadenosine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
