Filter by:The purpose of this Australian study was to assess the efficacy and safety of nilotinib 300mg twice daily in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia chronic phase who were intolerant but responsive to 1st line treatment with imatinib or dasatinib. Eligible patients have been previously treated with imatinib or dasatinib for at least 3 months and are experiencing non-hematologic toxicity whilst having documented responses that meet PBS authority for 1st line treatment of CML without current MR4.5.
This pilot clinical trial studies if cells donated by a close genetic relative can help maintain acute myeloid leukemia (AML) complete remission (CR). Eligible patients will receive a standard induction chemotherapy. If a complete remission results they will receive irradiated allogeneic cells from a HLA haploidentical relative. Only patients who obtain a CR after the standard induction chemotherapy are eligible for the experimental therapy (irradiated haploidentical cells).
This clinical research study is made up of 3 phases: a Pilot Phase, Phase 1, and Phase 2. The goal of the Pilot Phase is to learn how safe it is to give the study drug brentuximab vedotin to patients with AML. The goal of Phase 1 is to learn more about the safety of the combination of brentuximab vedotin with azacytidine. The goal of Phase 2 is to learn if the combination of brentuximab vedotin and azacytidine can help to control AML.
The goal of Phase 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of MEK162 that can be given to patients with advanced leukemia. This is an investigational study. MEK162 is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 57 patients total will take part in both phases of this study . All will be enrolled at MD Anderson. The goal of Phase 2 of this clinical research study is to learn if MEK162 can help to control AML in older patients with advanced leukemia. The safety of this drug will also be studied. This is an investigational study. MEK162 is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 57 patients total will take part in both phases of this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
To satisfy a postmarketing requirement, the sponsor has been requested to conduct a Phase 1/Phase 2 single-group clinical study to investigate the pharmacokinetics and preliminary safety and efficacy of omacetaxine following a fixed-dose administration to patients with CP or AP CML who have failed 2 or more tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies.
This study will evaluate pediatric patients with malignant or non-malignant blood cell disorders who are having a blood stem cell transplant depleted of T cell receptor (TCR) alfa and beta cells that comes from a partially matched family donor. The study will assess whether immune cells, called T cells, from the family donor, that are specially grown in the laboratory and given back to the patient along with the stem cell transplant can help the immune system recover faster after transplant. As a safety measure these T cells have been programmed with a self-destruct switch so that they can be destroyed if they start to react against tissues (Graft versus host disease).
The purpose of this research study is to look at overall health status and how acute myeloid leukemia (AML) responds to a stem cell transplant when followed with cyclophosphamide. Some participants enrolling in this study may receive a transplant from a sibling, some may receive a transplant from a matched unrelated donor, and some may receive what is called a haploidentical transplant. A haploidentical stem cell transplant is a type of transplant that occurs when a person who needs a transplant cannot find a donor who exactly matches their tissue type (either among family members or through a matched unrelated donor). When no matched donor is available, half-matched related (haploidentical) donors may be used. Haploidentical donors are first degree relatives such as siblings, children, or parents. People who undergo a stem cell transplant can experience complications such as rejection of the stem cell transplant or severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). GVHD occurs when some of the cells from the donor attack the recipient's tissues, resulting in mild, moderate, or even life-threatening side effects to the recipient's skin, stomach, intestines, and liver. However, recent research has shown that receiving cyclophosphamide after stem cell transplant can improve the outcomes of the transplant, and that is the purpose of this study.
This phase I trial studies the MEK inhibitor MEK162 to see if it is safe in patients when combined with idarubicin and cytarabine. MEK inhibitor MEK162 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idarubicin 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 MEK inhibitor MEK162, cytarabine, and idarubicin may be an effective treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.
Prospective nonrandomized phase I study The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of zileuton when added to dasatinib in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
This study will assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacodynamic markers of the study drug, A6, in patients with CLL and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
