Filter by:This study is a preliminary study to assess whether it is possible to introduce an exercise program for BMT patients after discharge from hospital. The exercise program will include 3 endurance (stationary bike, walking) and 2 resistance (weights, stretch bands) training sessions/week, until 100 days after BMT. Our second plan is to test changes in QoL, aerobic fitness, muscle strength, total body fat and mineral composition, and blood immune markers with exercise in the 100 days after BMT. The investigators anticipate this study will improve the QoL, mobility, and strength of patients after BMT, therefore allowing a faster and healthier recovery.
HEMATO-BIO-IPC-2013-015 is a monocenter prospective longitudinal study. Our aim is to define predictive clinical and biological factors in acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative disorders by using genomics, genetics and epigenetics, in vitro and in vivo drug sensitivity studies,and translational immonulogy and immunomonitoring studies. HEMATO-BIO primary outcome measure is to identify molecular, genomic and epigenetic, pharmacologic and immunophenotypic alteration in acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative disorders by collecting, at diagnosis and/or complete remission and/or relapse: - tumor samples: marrow aspiration, blood sampling. - non-tumor samples: skin biopsy, buccal swab . from 650 patients treated at our cancer center.
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BG induction therapy in participants with previously untreated CLL. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.
This study will take place in parts: - Dose Escalation (Part 1): Participants receive milademetan alone with different dose schedules - Dose Escalation (Part 1A): Participants receive milademetan in combination with 5-azacytidine (AZA), with different dose schedules The recommended dose for Part 2 will be selected. - Dose Expansion (Part 2): After Part 1A, participants will receive the recommended Part 2 dose schedule. There will be three groups - those with: 1. refractory or relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) 2. newly diagnosed AML unfit for intensive chemotherapy 3. high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) - End-of-Study Follow-Up: Safety information will be collected until 30 days after the last treatment. This is the end of the study. The recommended dose for the next study will be selected.
The hypothesis is that the replacement of the standard fludarabine and cytarabine based therapy by azacytidine could result in an improvement of RFS and OS rates in the experimental arm. To fulfill the medical needs in such frail and elderly population, improvements in terms of atileukemic efficacy in the azacytidine experimental arm should be attained without increasing the therapy-related toxicity or decreasing the patients QoL.
This is a efficacy and safety study of imatinib Mesylate Capsule as First line treatment in patients with chronic phase of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.
This pilot trial studies decitabine, donor natural killer cells, and aldesleukin in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back after previous treatment (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, 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. Giving donor natural killer cells after decitabine may boost the patient's immune system by helping it see the remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and causing it to destroy them (called graft-versus-tumor effect). Aldesleukin may stimulate natural killer cells to kill acute myeloid leukemia cells. Giving decitabine, donor natural killer cells, and aldesleukin may be a better treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.
MSC2490484A is an investigational drug that is being evaluated for the treatment of subjects with advanced solid tumors or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that likely differs from other cancers in how it repairs damaged DNA (genetic material). This is a first-in-man Phase I study, which means that it is the first time the study drug is being used in humans. The main purpose is to determine the highest dose that does not cause unacceptable side effects. The second is to determine the appropriate dose to use in future research for subjects with cancer. Othergoals of the study are to learn about the drug's safety and side effects, how it affects the tumor, and how the body processes the drug.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether ibrutinib in combination with GA101 - Obinutuzumab might be useful for the treatment of CLL. This study will evaluate if ibrutinib in combination with GA101 - Obinutuzumab can reduce the amount of cancerous cells in body.
Background: - One type of cancer therapy takes blood cells from a person, changes them in a lab, then gives the cells back to the person. In this study, researchers are using an anti-CD22 gene, a virus, and an immune receptor to change the cells. Objective: - To see if giving anti-CD22 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) cells to young people with certain cancers is safe and effective. Eligibility: - People ages 1-39 with a leukemia or lymphoma that has not been cured by standard therapy. Design: - Participants will be screened to ensure their cancer cells express the CD22 protein. They will also have medical history, physical exam, blood and urine tests, heart tests, scans, and x-rays. They may give spinal fluid or have bone marrow tests. - Participants may have eye and neurologic exams. - Participants will get a central venous catheter or a catheter in a large vein. - Participants will have white blood cells removed. Blood is removed through a needle in an arm. White blood cells are removed. The rest of the blood is returned by needle in the other arm. - The cells will be changed in a laboratory. - Participants will get two IV chemotherapy drugs over 4 days. Some will stay in the hospital for this. - All participants will be in the hospital to get anti-CD22 CAR cells through IV. They will stay until any bad side effects are gone. - Participants will have many blood tests. They may repeat some screening exams. - Participants will have monthly visits for 2-3 months, then every 3-6 months. They may repeat some screening exams. - Participants will have follow-up for 15 years.
